CHAPTER XIV.

After the death of Iaro a new and
somewhat better order of things pre-
vailed among the so-called Pirates Of
the Gulf"
Now under the direct leadership Of
Lahtfe alone, and with better oppor-
tunities for knowing his chivalrous ma
ture. the larger body of them follow ed
unquestioningiy his more merciful and
less lawless practices: and not few
OF the men actually relished the
changed conditions In which they
found themselves.

followers, and entered upon a career

and her whims and caprices made II
but little less so to the mother su-
perior and nuns. But they, with
lively remembrance of many generous
fayors from LATTE. felt that they
must bear patiently with the charge
he had left in their keeping.
La Roche. as her banker and man
OF business, came often to see his
fair client. and ended by falling in
love with her-a fact he was wise
enough to keep To himself. And. later
on, he obtained Lafitte's consent to
her removal from the convent and
taking a house OF her own, where.
with Ma'am Brigida and a retinue OF
slaves. the high-strung beauty seemed
more contented.
When the summer OF 1872 had
brought the Cazeneau household to
their Barataria home. there befell
something which struck Lafitte with
a new despair. and took from him all
hope OF ever being asked to render
little Roselie the smallest service,

had seated himself upon the steps,
but too far away to catch the con-

But he watched them with curious
eyes, having often heard of Zeney !.

1t was. therefore. with a sigh of re-

even should the occasion OF necessity
arise
Her childish trust in him became de
stroyed: he saw her shrink from him
in terror and adherence. And this
awakened in him the knowledge that
the-as he supposed-paternal love he
had been cherishing for the child OF
her who had always been his ideal. was
not the affection Of father for his
daughter, but the love Of a man for
a woman.
The bitterest potion he had ever
swallowed was now working in his
veins. Yet no one would have sus-
pected this. as he went his way. and
for a time with greater recklessness
than before, although the rumor men
toned by Pierre had now become a
fact, inasmuch as the governor of Lou
.jsiana had issued a proclamation offer
Uhg a reward for Lafltte's apprehen-
sion.
This had come about by reason OF a
melee in the bayou Lafourche. and
which proved to be the chip which
kindled to blaze the long-smoulder-
ing fire of wrath against the Bara-
tarians.
When the information was brought
to LATTE, accompanied by a copy Of
the proclamation. he had, without de-
lay. taken a pinnace and set out for
the extreme southerly side OF Grande

Cazeneau's abode.

went hurriedly down the hallway.
Lea by curiosity, the boy jumped to
his feet. and saw her descend the
steps of the back gallery. and go
swiftly into the woods. which seemed
to swallow up the snowy form and

Within the room, rear whose open

which paper should be sold or restrict
the output of any Of the mills. All
contracts for sales secured by the Cen
eral Paper company for any of the
mills signing the agreement were sub
ject, it is claimed, to the approval of
the individual mills concerned. It is
specifically denied that any power was
conferred on the General Paper COM
pany, which would enable it in any
way to be instrumental in restraining
interstate trade and commerce.
The Manufacturers Paper company,
of New York, in demurring to the COM
plaint, denied that it became a party
to the agreement in 1902, or that it
was a party in conspiracy to avoid
competition with the General Paper
company or it's customers.
The United States has until the first
Monday in April to reply to these

Battle Still in Progress.

TOXIC, March 11.-General Oyama
reports that the Ping Ting detachment
of the Japanese troops last night
reached a point five miles north of
Fushun and is now vigorously engag-
ing the enemy.
While the extent of the catastrophe
to the Russian army is not fully known
here it is expected the number of
prisoners will reach $4,000.
Kuropatkin's action in heavily REIN
forcing his right in the neighborhood
of Mukden leads to the belief that he
planned to hold his line on the Hun
river and attempted to check the flank
attacks. The Japanese by desperate
assaults drove q wedge through the
Russian line on Hun river and then
pressing northward practically threw
a giant Gordon about Mukden. This
movement was completed yesterday.
Fighting continued during the night,
the Russians striving to break out of
the trap and the Japanese making
every effort to annihilate them.

RICH HELPS POOR,


Brother With Wealth and Sister in
Poverty Meet by Chance in Street.
CHICAGO, March 1.-THE happy
of a 25-year search for a
sister took place yesterday, when VIII
liam Van Sickles, a wealthy promoter,
met by chance, Mrs. Cornelia Meeker
his poor and widowed sister.
Van Sickles stopped over in Chicago
yesterday, on his way home from
Omaha transact business. He was
on his way to the depot when some
thing about the features of a woman
who passed him made him start, and
seemed to bring a flood of boyhOod re-
collections. Instinctively he followed
the woman. He grasped her arm and
she turned and looked into his eyes,
"Sister!" he cried.
'Brother!" she said, as she recog-
nized him.
Then took place a reunion, which
even melted the heart of the police
man on the crossing.
Twenty-Five years ago Van Sickles
left La Porte, Ind, to seek his fortune.
He lost trace of his family ard was
given up for dead. His parents died in
the meanwhile, and his sister, the
chum of his boyhood, met with re-
verses, while he prospered.

Latter, Lifted Bodily From the Ground,

LONG PRAIRIE, Mimi, March IL
While several children were going
home from school, a huge eagle swoop-
ed down upon them in the street, near
the roller mill, seized Lou Reamer's 8
little girl, aged 5, and attempted to
carry her away.
The bird fastened it's talons in the
girls shoulder and dress skirt and
lifted her several feet from the ground,
when Frank Blair's son and other boys
sprang to her assistance and, grasping
her clothing, prevented the bird from
carrying her away. The eagle tnen
scared off.
When young Blair seized the child
the bird. with it's wings, struck him
blow on the side of the head and
knocked him down. The side of the
boys face is black and blue.
Before the eagle made the attack the
boys saw it sailing overhead about so
feet above the ground. Suddenly it
closed it's wings and dropped to the
earth. AS soon as it seized the little
girl she screamed, and the boys cour-
ageously turned back to rescue her.
The attack was within three blocks
of the village school and in the thickly
settled part of town.
