that if the blood came again from

my brother Nay, never mind, as
Jean started impulsively-"for thou
canst do nothing. Let me talk TO
thee; that is all"
He stopped for a few moments, as
if to gather strength; and when he
spoke again his tone was more in
cisive.
Jean. I can see it all as it will be,
if thou wilt do as | say. Go to the
governor in person, or. better still,

as the last thing I can ask of thee on

Promise me to do this. and all will
be we'll with thee and thine"
Another brief silence, and then Jean
answered with passion he tried vain
w to repress. Il would not, to save
my life, give this promise to another
But, my Pierre. as thou hast asked it
from me-yes.
The moons rays had stolen up until
the shadows of the windOw-bars lay
across the clasped hands, and struS
gled family along the whitewashed
wall. untouched by the light from the
dimly burning lamp.
"Then can I go in peace" had come
like a sigh from the paling lips, as
Jeans head was laid against Pierre's
shoulder.
Put out the lamp" added the dying
man, "let us have only the moon
light
This done, Jean resumed his place
by the bed. and again took the hand
living so white in the moon rays.
A deep, struggling sigh stirred the
silence.

What is it, my Pierre-art thou in
pain?"
There was no reply.
Pierre, my brother. tell me-art
thou in pain?" Jean repeated, con.
scious that the hand he held lay
heavy, and was growing cooler.
He laid it tenderly on the coverlet.
and, rising, pulled the bed out, SO that
it was bathed in food of moonlight.
The whitening radiance touched the
half-parted lips and wide-open eyes
of face whose cold pallor would
show even whittier in the mornings
sun.
Truly had Pierre's premonition
been verified; never would those
sightless eyes behold the France he
had longed to see once more.
The morning of September IA was
clear and clOudless, with the brisk
wind distending the canvas Of H. B.
M. brig Sophia as she made her
way toward the little island off the
East Pass known as 1.-The Turtle"
There had been little doubt among
the English as to Lafitte's decision,
and their opinion had been strengthen
ed to certainty by reason of the
recent attack upon Barataria, the de-
tails of which had been reported to
Capt. Percy.
1t was therefore with a very com.
placent mind that Capt. Lockyer look
ed ahead on the little island lying on
the heaving water, with the MONDAY
heat shimmering in dazzle of pris-
matte coloring over its green growths.
He was soon ashore, and glanced
around expectantly, but no one was to
be seen. His eyes were attracted by
a large piece of white paper, out.
spread upon the impaling thorns of a
bush only few yards off. He went
toward it. and soon read what wrought
decided change in his expression of
complacency, besides bringing an
oath from his lips
Then, plucking the paper from the
bush, he crushed it in his hand, and
turning about, went back to his boat,
where. with look of disappointment
and rage that told his crew of some
thing having gone wrong, he ordered
them to push on.

university is not only great wit, but
an inveterate punster. One morning
in the philosophy class student who
was not willing to accept anything
until he saw it raised a great many
objections.
The professor answered them as
best he could; then, looking around
the class, remarked: HAS any one
else any scruples?" and proceeded to
make a bad pun by adding. IF we
could get scruples enough together
we might raise drachm among u.s.

"Nay," he murmured; and his voice,
although weak, held yet note of old
time humor. NAY, Jean, that would
be a puzzle whose answer is beyond
me. The bullets that found me were
meant for any one of us, and the
knife-thrust in my side was given by
a man / never saw before. And, he
added grimly, after a moments pause,
mo other on earth will ever receive
a thrust from him.
"Then thou didst not leave him for
me to deal with?"
mo: for left the blade of my knife
in his heart. But all, my Jean, what
treacherous work it was-what base
return for thy frankness and generos-
ity!"
lean tossed his head impatiently.
"Let us not waste time in talking
of that. There is now but one thing
to consider, my brother, and that is
the getting of thee from this place.
It is for that have come, end as
soon as knew thou vert hurt. Father
PHILIPPE has every reason to help me;
SO I went to him, feeling that a priest
would not be denied thee. Fortune
helped me still more, when a messen-
ger came from the gaoler's wife to
Father PHILIPPE, saying that his minis
trations were needed by thee. His
conscience troubled him, but he let
me have my way for tonight, and
will himself come to see thee in the
morning"
"Did the woman send him word

the wounded man.
Jean started to his feet.
"Say not such a thing, my Iierre.

words and his voice had it's usual ring
of confidence and decision.

he resumed, as he stood beside the
bed. "and down to Shell Island. where

He glanced about the cell, taking in
every detail OF its shape and con-

CHAPTER XVI.

Night in New Orleans, where the
former gay life of the streets had for
many weeks been hushed by the
threatened calamity of an attack, or
possible siege.
The air of the city, muggy and life
less as the thunder showers of the
day had left it. was still more I'M
bearable inside the walls of the gaol,
where, on the upper floor, in a cell
whose one narrow, iron-barred win
dow faced the east, lay Pierre Lafitte.
The gaolers wife came in with a
jug OF water, and filing a cup, held
it to the stricken mans lips while
gently raising his head.
"Msieur Pierre, trust you will not
be angry with me that | sent this
afternoon to Father PHILIPPE, and ask
ed that a priest be sent here for your
comforting"
as 1t Father PHILIPPE Of the Occur

SELF she answered quickly.
Very well, then madame; you may
send the priest to me-" said Pierre,
YEARLY, and wondering if by any
chance he might here find channel
through which to communicate with
Jean; for he had recalled the name
as that of one of the latter's friends.
The woman soon returned, bringing
lighted lamp. which she placed upon
the floor, near the foot of the bed,
and, Pierre, closing his eyes to shut
away the glare, did not see the tall,
black-robed form that entered with
her, and then motioned her to leave
the room.
AS she did SO, the priest walked to
the window and stood looking out, his
back turned to the bed, until the last
echo of the woman's footsteps died
away. Then striding hastily to the
door, he closed it softly, and, throw
ing back his cowl, revealed the pale
face of Jean LATTE

this upon thee"
- Pierre smiled, as his hot fingers
clSsped the cool ones that seemed
throbbing with passion and revenge.
