When men stake everything on a chance, it is natural to look up to somebody who governs chances; but Andy Plade, in his loud, bad way, proposed a huge toast, which they took with a cheer, and quite confused Hugenot, who had a sentiment apropos. It was a weary day for the Southern Colony.
Take me along as courier and companion; pay my travelling expenses, and I will pay my own board." "Can I trust you, Suth Kurlinian?" said Hugenot, irresolutely; "you had no money yesterday." "But I have a plan of raising a thousand francs to-day. What say you?" "My family have been wont to see the evidence prior to committing themselves. First show me the specie."
The Protestants placed armies in the field and fought for their creeds, as during the Thirty Years' War in Germany and the long period of the Hugenot wars in France. The historian D'Aubigne recognizes an important change at this period.
But Pisgah and Simp, who had applied to Slidell several times by letter for temporary loans, were averse, just now, to the presence of one who had forgotten "the first requisite of a Southern Gentleman generosity." So it was settled that only the Colony and Hugenot were to come, each man to bring one lady. Simp, Pisgah, and Freckle thought Hugenot a villain.
To day he has sounded Hugenot; but that man of sentiment alluded to the business habits of his ancestry, and intimated that he did not lend. "Ou-ah cause, Andy," he says, with a flourish, "is now negotiating a loan.

"When they're ready, they'll call the car. They know that I am with you. They know that I can get the car when I want it. Mama won't mind." Eugene led the way back to a train which ran to Hugenot, their destination.
At this episode, Pisgah, whose misfortunes had quite shattered his nerves, proposed to drink at Freckle's expense to the success of the system, and Hugenot was prevailed upon to advance twenty-one sous, while Simp took the order to the adjacent marchand du vin. When they had all filled, Hugenot, looking upon himself in the light of a benefactor, considered it necessary to do something.
"You are not wrong," cried the greater, raising his voice till it became shrill and terrible; "your last moments are passing; that yawning ravine is your grave. I told you an hour ago how one bad, dark deed would redeem me. It is done! I have robbed you, and your death is essential to my safety." Hugenot sank upon the snow of the parapet, speechless and almost lifeless.
They repaired at once to their respective places, and after a pause the Southern Colony and convoy made their appearance upon the threshold. With the exception of Pisgah and Hugenot, all were clothed in the relics of their poverty, but their hairs were curled, and they wore some recovered articles of jewelry.
Hugenot, rising, as it appeared from a bandbox, carefully surveyed himself in a mirror opposite, and touched his nose with a small nosegay. "I feel, my friends, rather as your host than your guest to-night " "For I, gentlemen, stand upon my hereditary, if not my native heath; and you are, at most, Frenchmen by adoption.
