weeks later Dominique was capering
as nimbly as ever at the gumbo balls Of

of morning and as completely.
Evariste FASTENED to explain to
Estelle that his sending Of substitute

acted from him by his brother, adding
cynically:

not only acquit but you will praise me-"

chair.

| Quillebert, following him.
The exchange having been completed,
Evariste continued on to the Latiolais
home. Most solicitously he piled Es-
telle with inquiry as to her comfort
and health, the affairs of her planta-
ton and behavior of her slaves.
"None of these matters gives me the
care that my dear grandfather does,
M. Evariste," she said sadly. Not
only does his intemperance increase
appallingly, but he seems haunted by
some secret fear, and he cannot sleep
unless in his cups or under the effect
of a drug. So kind so gentle and low
ing, it is killing me to see his old age
thus miserable. | am sure much Of it

But let us be hopeful. For your sake

his words with look and gesture of sin

Estelle replied, land | trust in your

Evariste flushed and said:

CHAPTER XIV.
THE BLIGHT OF WAR.

VI NTH the line of Federal &C.
" N cupation extending along
NM the east bank of the Mis-
WI sissippi from New Orleans
to Vicksburg and the Con-
federate army OF the transmississippi
department lowering about the western
and northern borders of Louisiana, the
people of Avoyelles were in a state of
insulation which made life harder day
by day and at times appeared to men
ace even the very possibilities of exist
ence. Commercial navigation of the
rivers, on which they depended for
much of their supplies, was stopped.
A number of the largest planters had
taken refuge with their slaves and ami
mails in Texas and the Indian Terri
tory. The scarcity of all staples of
food and clothing increasing from
month to month, labor was but poorly
sustained and diminished crops were
cultivated under formidable and multi
plying difficulties. Medicines were
desideratum sorely needed. Privations
and suffering were present actualities.
Selfishness grew apace, community
interests waned, social phases disap-
peared, and Indifference to neighbor-
hood concerns prevailed. And thus it
was that, though a numerous cOrtege
attended the Obseques of Mother De-
shautelles, the doctress, who was
found dead in her thronelike chair,
with Egyptian cotton in her hands and
an unfinished fillet in her lap, yet when
Laure accepted the protection of guile
bert and became his housekeeper, an
event which in normal times would
have set the entire parish by the ears,
the spirit of gossip and censure mate
rallied now in mere shruggings of
shoulders and shakings of heads. On
returning to the cottage after the fu-
neral Quillebert had said to her:
"You cannot live here alone. Your
father and l were friends. | am older

acts?"

"Bah!' exclaimed Evariste.
Have care, Evariste; have care.
The doctress must not be insulted."
Laure's warning was so serious and
dramatic that Evariste involuntarily
checked the impetuosity of his manner.
He said:
"Laure, | meant no insult, no disre-
spect Her relationship to you would
forbid that. We are friends?'
Friends" she repeated. 81 am YOUR

exclaimed hotly and started away.
1.-THE senseless infatuatlon for a girl
who despises you makes you say that
But time will show. You will come to
me yet. You are of my kind. You will
come to me yet" Her eyes blazed with
passion as she confronted him again,
and her words seemed to burn their
way into his soul. She ran into the
forest and, throwing herself at the foot
of familiar old oak tree, gave vent to
her overweight feelings in fit of VIC
lent weeping. Then, bathing her cheeks
and eyes in the cool waters of the ma
rails, she stood long upon its edge,
thinking intently. Setting her teeth
firmly and clinching her little fists, she
mentally vowed, Il will 1.-THE shall be
mine"' and returned to the cottage
with the bright look and airy step of
one whose spirit had never known
tribulation.
But Evariste's agitation was not so
quickly allayed. He now saw in Laure
an active, interested hinderer of his
designs. He could not estimate the pO-
tentiality of her influence with guile
bert, who could make disclosures fatal
to him in the regard Of the pure hearted
Estelle. He recognized that he had
made no progress in her good graces.
Difficulties accumulated, but they only
hardened his determination and drove
him to devise a course of action of
swift and heroic severity in ending all
uncertainty. The event on which this
policy depended though abhorrent,
was one for which he devoutly wished.
Laures speech had stung him, and he
swore Estelle Latiolas should be his
bride.

appears to hc but slim chance
that W. l.. Harris appointment
as postmaster at Charleston, sent
to the senate Yesterday, will be
confirmed. Senator Tillman is
preparing to deal him knockout
blow when the appointment comes
up in the senate.

is on the rolls of the pension Of

Special to The Charlotte Observer
Washington, May 29..-Since
it became known that Senator
John l.. McLaurin was being
considered by the President for
the appointment on the Court If
Claims there has been much Ispe-
culation over the probable attitu-
de of his colleague, Senator Till
man, on the question of conirma-
ton. AS it would be a departure
probably without precedent to
oppose the confirmation of Tn
tied States Senator to an appoln-
tive office, many were of the
opinion that the confirmation of
the Junior Senator fIom the
Palmetto State would 90 without
saying. 1t seems, however, that
those who share this view have
underestimated the degree of ha-
tired which the senior Senator has
for his colleague, for Mr.. Till
man has been heard to say: "Mc-
Laurln is unfit to sit in Judgment
over the interests of others and he
will never he appointed to AUDI
ciai position with my consent. >
Senator McLaurin has not rs vet

geship in question but the Presl
dent has finally dispc sed OF the
matter, and it is known that the
South Carolina Senator now has

position from Tillman to his con.
firmation will create an exceeding
ly interesting situation. Many
influential South Carolina politi
clans, friends of Tillman. would
favor confirmation, as they desire
an appointment from the Governor
to fill out the unexpired term All
of the half-dozen candidates row
in the field would be glad 10 have
the place.
