velvets Are Popular.

Velvet is the fabric par excellence
for late winter and early spring wear,
and when one says velvet nowadays
one means always chiffon velvet.
The discovery of this particular weave
accounts almost altogether for the ma
terial's popularity, for the velvets of
other days, although deep and rich in
tone and pile and with beautiful
sheen, lacked lightness and softness
and suppleness which are required in
all but gowns Of state.
A beautiful Paris model which has
Just seen the light is developed in the
much sought after velvet, and on the
lines of the quite as popular Redingote
model. It is fashioned Of reseda chif-
fon velvet, with skirt and waistcoat
of satin the same shade, embroidered
with reseda silk, chenille and silver
threads.
The Redingote as far back revival
attracts much attention from modistes
and women who dress, but other long
coat effects are shown. The Louis
coats are very popular, with their
many notifications, the Directoire,
and the Russian tunic. But the long
coat has not and it seems now can
not throw the ever popular bolero
into the shade. AS many boleros, If
not more, are shown now than ever.

in the days gray ashes.
1t was the Island Rose; and the
song was one her mother had taught
her-one LATTE had heard the girl
sing during their journey from the
Choctaw country.
"Mademoiselle Rose" he said,
speaking very softly, as the sweet
voice died away, breathing the final
words like a sigh from breaking
heart.
"Who is it-what do you wish?" she
inquired timidly, and not little
startled.

"Ah!"
1t was a cry of joy; and two small
hands, white as her snowy draperies,
were held out to him.

"Are your" was all he was able to
say in reply, as he took her hands,
and wondering to himself for being so
tongue-tied in the presence of this
mere child.

She moved uneaslly, and her head
dropped; but she did not reply.
"Tell me, little Island Rose, we're
you not happy" he asked again, TAX
ing her hand. Remember that it was
who brought you here-I, who loved
and revered your mother. And must

CHAPTER XIV.

The island of Grande Terre, off the
coast of Louisiana, runs parallel with
the mainland; and at its western end
Is secure harbor, reached by the
Great Pass of Barataria, whose water
Is from nine to ten feet in depth.
Here, on Grande Terre, were sold
the captured cargoes and prizes; and
people from all parts of Louisiana
came hither to purchase them, with
no apparent attempt or desire to con-
ceal the object of their mission.
Jean LATTE was, with Pierre, sit
ting in the dining-room of his own
house, of which, however, the latter
was nominal master.
"And so Laro is dead, and the Barra
de Hero in English hands," Pierre
was saying.
Tell me of thy plans, and what is
to become Of the lovely Senorita La
Zalie."
At this, Jean, putting aside his for
mer mood, sketched out clearly all his
intended operations, telling in detail
OF his interview with Philip La Roche
who with his widowed sister, Madame
Riefet, would take the Spanish
beauty into their charge.
1t was now some two months since
the governors edict had been issued
against the introduction of African
slaves; and he had followed this by
an address ITO all whom it might
concern in the territory" stating that
1t had come to his knowledge that
well-laid plans existed to defeat and
evade this edict by way of Barataria;
and, as Jean now learned from Pierre,
q rumor was afloat that the governor
contemplated setting a price upon the
head of Jean LATTE, smuggler, slave.
trader, and pirate.

DERANG ED NERVES
DISTRESSING TROUBLES LEFT BY
ST. VITUS AND GRIP.
Woman AFFLICTED for Years by Strange
Spells OF Numbncss and Weakness
Receivers Perfect Health.

| AeoNoNoNS etAecN AAehiths
When she was fourteen years old, Mrs,
Ida l.. Brown had st. Vitus' dance.
She finally got over the most noticeable
features OF the strange ailment, but was
still troubled by very uncomfortable sem
sations, which she recently described as
follows:
Zone hand, half Of my face, and half
Of my tongue would get cold and numb.
These feelings would come on, last for
about ten minutes, and then go away,
several times a day. Besides l would
have palpitation Of the heart, and my
strength would get so low that could
hardly breathe. AS time went on these
spells kept coming oftener and growing
worse. The numbness would sometimes
extend over half my body"
"How did you get rid Of them?"
"Itseemed for long time as if never
could get rid Of them. 1t was not until
about six yearsago that found remedy
that had virtue enough In 1t to reach my
case. That was DIR. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People, and they have since en-
tirely cured me-"

"Ah, that is pleasant for me to hear
and to know, Captain JEAN" she re.
piled, with childish frankness, releas-
ing her hand and laying it on his
arm. But" now with some anxiety,
"how can you ever be able to do much
for me, should l need you? 1t is long
since | have seen you, or known
where you were; and now you tell me
you are here but for few hours, and
will then go away again, l know not
where"
Although seemingly "'twixt smiles
and tears" she spoke with an arch
naivete that affected LATTE most curl
ously.
You know Zeney, the one called a
witch, your grandpere's slave!" he in
quired with apparent irrelevance.
Yes, of course" answered Roselle,
surprise showing in her voice. "She
is a dreadful-looking old woman, with
big black eyes. At first | was afraid
OF her, but now am not, for she knew
and loved my mother, and has talked
to me of her."
$50? Well, that is quite as it
should be. And now, little Roso,"
again taking her hand, remember al
ways what l say to you now: Should
you ever wish to tell me anything, or
need any service you think l can rem
der, all you need do is to tell Zeney,
and then allow three days to pass in
which to see me or hear from me.
Will you promise to do this?"
He bent toward her with an earnest
ness in his manner that caused her to
wonder at the time and afterwards.
Eyes, l promise, and l thank you,"
she answered softly, and left him.
A few moments later the Count de
Cazeneau entered the room and greet
ed LATTE with cordiality he accord
ed to few men; but the Island Rose
did not return.

Interesting Letter From Great Soldier
to His Wife.

Interesting Letter From Great Soldier
to His Wife.
There has just been discovered in
the family archives of a landed pro-
prietor In Mecklenburg a hitherto UNI
published letter written by the cele-
brated Marshal Butcher to his wife
on the eve Of the Battle of Waterloo.
The letter is couched in the unique
style and spelling peculiar to the old
soldier, which, however, are partly
lost in the following translation from
the German:
"Comprenne, June II, 1915.
Here | sit in the room in which
Mary Louisa spent her bridal night.
1t is hard to imagine anything more
beautiful than Comprenne. What a
pity that must part from here to-
morrow, because within three days /
must be in Paris.
ut is possible, and most probable,
that Bonaparte will be handed over
to me and Wellington. Do not think
can do anything better than to have
him shot. This would be a service to
mankind. In Paris he is wholly de-
serted; everybody hates and despises
him.
81 believe this will all be over in a
short while, and then shall hasten
home. There are many pretty things
here, but l must not take anything
away. "BLUCHER."
