Inc city
meeting last Tuesday night and
placed on its first reading an ordi-
nance which provides that at the
regular election of municipal Off
GERS to be held in this city on Tues
day. April 4. 1905. there shall be
submitted TO the vote of such quail
fled electors as shall in the year next
preceding have paid a property tax
therein. the question whether the
city council shall erect an electric
light works and system for the pur-
pose Of supplying electric power and
light to the city and its inhabitants,
and for that purpose contract an
Indebtedness in the sum Of so. 900
by the issuance and sale of bonds.
The bonds. if approved and author
lied. shall be for an aggregate or
principal amount Of not to exceed
$4,000. are to run for a period Of
fifteen years. and bear interest at a
rate lot to exceed five per cent per
annum.
The city council has had the prop
osition of establishing a municipal
electric light and power plant usder
consideration for some time, and
the question is now to be submitted
to the people for approval or re-
lection. The bond issue Of city is
limited by law to three per cent of
the assessed valuation. and as the
assessed valuation of La Junta is
less than 100000 the proposed
$40. 600 bond issue will be almost the
limit. This is unfortunate. II the
city is to engage in the electric light
business at all it ought TO have a
plant Of sufficient capacity to supply
the entire town. People who know.
however. say that plant Of this
kind would cost over $4,000.
We understand that it is not the
intention to supply the entire town
with light at the outset. At the
present time the city is paying out
over s., 900 per annum for street
lights. and it is to supply this muni-
cipal need that the plant will be
established. with the idea in view Of
gradually increasing the capacity
and supplying all who desire the
service. The city has contract
with the local electric light company
for street lighting which does not
expire for over three years. and
even il the bond issue was approved
by the people the city could not
undertake to supply its own lights
for some time without violating this
contract.
The TRIBUNE believes in the mu-
nicipal ownership of public utilities.
and thinks there are many COM
mendable features in the merging
of an electric light and water plant
such as is proposed. The same fuel
would supply both light and water.
II has been demonstrated in other
communities that municipal owner
ship is practical and has resulted in
q great saving to the people where
rightly conducted. II the scope Of
administration is to be enlarged.
however, there ought to be . great
change in the method of conducting
city Affairs. The business Of the
city is conducted on . very hap
haxzard plan 1t present. and has
been - sooductsd for some time

"And you would come to me?"
Come to you?" said Lafitte, in a
tone SO emphatic that the emperor
made gesture of warning. "Yes,
Sire, through all the ships England
might seek to interpose.'

you may some day hear from me-

name-the one belonging to your ia

"My fathers name and estates,
Sire? Surely these are but phantoms
of the past, with which I, Jean La
itte. can have no connection"
The speculative eyes turned smil-
ing glance upon him as the emperor
said, ut is scarcely safe thing to
aver what may or may not lie in the
future. You, who seem SO desirous of
serving me-cannot you promise ME
this?"
Indeed. yes, Sire" was the fervent
answer as the speaker bent to touch
with his lips the hand pressing his
own.
BE it so. Now'-and the clasping
hand released its hold-"you must
leave me; and be sure to remember
my wish that you remain with Murier

many years is surely one who should
not be misjudged," he said, looking
up into the younger mans face;
most surely not by me, and at such
time as the present"
AS he uttered the final words he
placed his arms around Laftte's
shoulders and embraced him.
Sire"
A volume of emotions spoke in that
single word.
Sire, my whole heart is grateful
for these words of confidence and
esteem. No one can realize better
than myself how grave was the mis-
take made; and no man would make
greater sacrifices to undo it."
Tut, tut, boy" replied Napoleon,
with all his old air of affection, and
tapping the shoulder upon which one
OF his hands still rested, when you
have reached my years you will know
better than to waste time and
thoughts in useless regrets. Let the
past go, Jean, my lad, and look only
into the future"
The emperor resumed his seat, and
resting his hands upon the arms of
the chair, stared straight before him.
while Lafitte stood looking down at
the seated form.
"And may I not do something for
you?" urged LATTE, making a final
appeal.
"No-no. Go, you and Greloire !;
YOU must leave me, for l feel 1t un-
wise that you remain another mo-
ment. You can do nothing-nothing,
for me. But / am glad to have seen
you-both of you; and l thank you,
Jean, my valiant ghost from the past,
for your offer and your love"
The emperor, as he spoke, leaned
forward in his chair; and there was a
caress in his smile and tone, as well
as in his touch upon Lafitte's hand.
"If ever time should come, Sire,
when can serve you, may | have
the honor and happiness of receiving
your commands?" was asked longing
ly.

that seemed heavy, after the passion
ate voice had ceased. Then an icy
tone made sharp contrast as the en-
peror said, These ships, men, and
gold, Captain Lafitte-how is it that
you come to have them?"
Iafitte found it difficult to control
hmself-to make his voice and bear
ing accord with the respect he felt,
and had but now expressed, for the
man whose sarcastic calm turned
back the impetuous torrent of his
feelings. But the tone in which he
replied was quiet, although husky
with repressed emotion.
Despite, Sire, the tales which have
distorted my name and acts. and
which l perceive have reached your
ears to prejudice you against me, l
claim that what l have Of property
was personally gained by legitimate
means-in trading, and also by war

A new light swept like softening
hand across Napoleon's austere face.
/, Captain Lafitte. you are right" he
said, with an entire change of voice
and manner. He extended his hand;
and Lafitte, with rush of new emo
tions, bowed deeply, and pressed it
to his lips.

fingers tightened their clasp, and he
rose to- his feet.

CHAPTER xviIi.

When LATTE and Greloire were
ushered into Napoleon's cabinet, and
the formers eyes fell upon him he
had for so many years longed to see,
his first sensation was that of pain.
The slender form was gone,-lost
in the personality of the stout, middle
aged man, who. lounging in velvet
cushioned chair. looked at Lafitte
ssly-coldly, as at an entire
stranger.
His appearance and attitude bore
out Greloire's remark,-that 1t was
said the emperor was strangely in
different to everything" Every line
of the listless face and relaxed form
indicated this.
AS the ex-soldier approached and
bowed low, faint smile lightened Ma
poleon's repellent expression, and he
said graciously. "Greloire, am
pleased to see you, and to know that
you have not forgotten one who
thought highly of you in more pros
porous days. Who is this you bring
with you?"
Sire, Captain jean LATTE, of LOU
1siana, answered Greloire, after a
moments hesitancy; and LATTE, COM
ing forward. bowed respectfully.
Jean Lafitte," Napoleon repeated
slowly, looking, not at the former, but
at Greloire. Il have heard the name
before, but not to the wearer's credit.
l ask you, Greloire,"-and his voice
took yet icier note,-"you. who are
his sponsor, why Captain Jean Lafitte,
of Louisiana, dare present himself
before me?"
81, Jean LATTE, will answer your
question, Sire; L. Jean LATTE, of
louisiana! And say to the man
whom my boyish heart adored, and
whom my mans heart loves, that l
dare present myself to him because

mand, and all these, with my own
life, are his, If he can find use for
