CHAPTER II.

awaited me. Another half hour and
we We're in Biloxi.
When we reached the barracks
found orders to attend the governor at
once.
Bienville stood before his fire alone,
quiet, but III a very different mood
from any in which I had heretofore
seen him.
Captain de Mouret," the rough old
warrior began, without any prelude or
indirection, II desire to sends you at
once to Paris on an errand Of the ut
most Importance to myself and to this
colony. I select you for this task.
though I can Isl spare you here, be-
cause it is a delicate matter. I be-
lieve you to be honest, I know you are
courageous."
l bowed, and he went on. Something
had evidently occurred to vex and irri-
tate him.
You know the people who surround
me here, the weak, the vicious, the IL
centious of all the earth. A band of
unprinciDled adventures, vile Cana
work. or even to feed themselves out
of the bountiful earth which would
give everything we need almost for
the asking. The air is full now Of
runors Of a Spanish war, and a
|Natchez-Chickasaw alliance. If these
things are true we would find ourselves
entirely cut off from French supplies.
and this colony would literally starve
to death. Yes, starve to death with un-
told millions of fruitful acres all about
us. HAD we strength to fight would
not care SO much. With but two COM
pa1lies Of undisciplined troops, a mere
struggling handful, Differed by drunk
ards, We could not defend this post a
day against any organized attack"
All this I knew to be true, so 1 made
no comment. He pursued the CONVEX
sation and evidently relieved his mind
Of fnuch that had troubled him for
months.
Then this beggarly commtssary of
mine, and the traff1cking priest, de la
Vente, they are constantly stirring up
strife against me here, and putting lies
in the hands of my enemies at court,
The king, too, Is wearted out with this
endless drain upon his treasury for
money and supplies. and Is now, so I
am Informed, almos ready to accede to
Crozat's proposition, and turn over to

The old man grew and e1o-
quent.

this to a miserable trading huckster,

Russia's response is delayed for week
It is expected that Japan will demand

THE convi> ton that Senator Hanna
will contend with President Roosevelt
for the nomination Of the next Ma
tional convention Is growing. The
senator's Ohio friends are outspoken
in their declarations that he Is In the
race, and he does not appear to be very
much concerned about restraining
them. There is a growing belief that
so soon as Hanna's nomination for re-
election to the senate from Ohio is
confirmed by the legislature, he Will
begin an active and aggressive cam
paign for the conventions nomination
He is being restrained now, 1t Is be-
lieved, by motives Of caution. Al
though g. majority Of the recently elec-
ted senators and representatives are
pledged to him, If he should announce
himself as a candidate for the presi-
Dental nomination, many or these
representatives might be induced to
consider themselves as released from
their pledges, and the result would be
trouble. With the senatorial question
settled, however, and a commission
for six years safe in his pocket, Mr.
Hanna can go ahead to tackle Mr.
Roosevelt without fear Of consequences
other than failure to win In the su-
preme contest that will follow.
