it would be so long before I could find a

farge had not returned home. A search j7
of the store from cellar to roof failed to
discover him. In brief he had vanished
and left no sign.
The skipper who had lunched with a
him was arrested on suspicion of having h iqs
had a hand in his disappearance, but
there was absolutely no proof against
him, and he was released. Porters,
watchmen and house servants were
equally exonerated. No clue to the
missing man or the reasons of his ab-
sence could be made out.
In the course of a . month or so a
lawyer from New Orleans arrived. in
Norfolk and claimed the estate of the
missing man for his nephew and heir.
In the meantime it had been discovered
that Dufarge and his two servants had
not been the only tenants of the old
house by the river. The hunchback
had had a mistress, a handsome Louis -
aria quadroon, who was his slave. How
tie had got her to Norfolk without dis-
covery by the gossips of the little city,
where every. one knows everybody
else's business, was never explained ;
but she was there, living in lonely
splendor, in his isolated home, and to
all appearances inconsolible at his loss.
When young Dufarge took possession
of his uncle's estate through his lawyer,
he lost no time in Belling it out. The
absent man's mistress was put on the
block with the old servants. The for
Hier was purchased by a rollicking
young idler of the city, who was squand-
ering his paternal estate in fast living
. of all sorts.
Young Terrill took the quadroon
home with him, and it was not long
before town talk ascribed to his connec-
tion with her the same intimacy that
Dufarge had enjoyed. However this
may have been she remained in his
possession for a couple of years. Then
, with his money gone and his credit ex-
hausted, he found himself ruined
and his property was seized by his cred-
itors.
The quadroon, Amelia, was held with
the rest of the chattels. She exhibited
a free paper which Terrill had given
her, but it was found legally deficient
and she was refused her liberty. Then
she became violent and denounced
Terrill, whom she believed to have wil-
fully mislead her in giving her invalid
manumission of the murder of Dufarge.

According to her story, Terril had
first seen her in the garden of Dufarge's
house, when on his way to the river on
a shooting expedition. He had become
enamored of her, and had offered to
buy her from her master and lover,
Dnfarge, when he found the secret of
lua liaison discovered, had waxed
furious and threatened to shoot his
rival if he ever dared to follow up his
conquest. Terrill had laughed at him,
and continued to visit the secluded
garden while its owner was absent.
