where he has large interests.

eyes, sir" she replied, mot only in
clined, but eager to do so. When Leon
was but an infant, Febien Queyrouze
owned the plantation adjoining Lal-
lande's, of which my husband was the
overseer. 1t was in those days that
first saw Quillebert, who visited Quey-
r0uze on Sundays. 1t seems they had
known each other in France. By the
request Of Queyrouze, Qullebert stood
as godfather at the child's christening
at Mansura by Father Grhe, who had
but recently arrived in this country
QueyrOuze was very fond of this child
but was greatly displeased for some
cause with the mother, Olive, who,
with her children, was his slave. The
year the cholera was so bad-I think it
was in 1S33-on returning home from
q visit to New Orleans he told his over
seer, Belisaire Poydre, that he intended
Leon to be free and directed that he be
sent to me to be raised. The following
day he died of the cholera. He had be-
friended my husband in a serious trou-
bic, so that when, two days after his
deGth, a nurSe came to US with the
child and message from Poydre con-
vTyfng The wish of Queyrouze we con-
scented, and took charge of the little
one OF course he was favored by us
and never caused me to regret our ac-

"Queyrouze was a bachelor, and his
heirs lived in France. His will in
structed Poydre to wind up his af-
fairs, sell his property and deliver the
proceeds 10 the heirs. This he did four
years later. Quillebert bought Olive
and her three other children. Leon
was not included in the sale, but re-
NAMED with me. Belisaire Poydre died
of yellow fever in 1910. My poor hus-
band was carried off by the same dis
ease in 1S43. About six months after
my husbands death | received a re-
quest from Quillebert to send Leon to
visit his mother and receive some pres
ents from his godfather, and. suspect
ing no trick, | did so. Leon did not
come back. | wrote Quillebert note
asking why he detained him. He re-
turned the verbal answer that the boy
preferred to remain with his mother.

At these last words Icons face
frightened, and he looked eagerly and
anxiously to Oakfell.

said the latter. - =, --E III, ,s.sl..

you are rich, you are wise, you are
powerful. Defend me from this man
who enslaves me against law and JUS
tice."
II will, poor fellow, to the utmost Of
my power" Oakfell promised. "And
II I succeed in establishing your free
dom l will lend you the money to buy

Leon wrung his hands in paroxysm
of joy, but could not speak his graft

The mistake which commonly opens the
