The Island Rose had heard the
greater part of the document read in
| her grandfather's voice, low, to be sure,
but with clear enunciation which
made each syllable as distinct as
though she had been the reader in:
stead of a listener. And when he
ended, she heard the voice Of him
heretofore known to her as Captain
JEAN and its tone was one of banter.
We'll, M'sieur lie Count, will you be
the one to claim this five hundred dol
lars, and do your governor and state
a brilliant service by delivering to
them this body of mine."

What have I. ever done, Captain
Jean Laftte, that should lead you to

blood of my associates?"
It was this that made the small

ton that her Captain jean was none
other than LATTE, the terrible pirate,

tales! He was the freebooter, SNUG

fearful band OF men she had shud-

CHAPTER XIV.

After the death of Laro a new and
somewhat better order of things pre-
vailed among the so-called Pirates of
the Gulf
Now under the direct leadership of
LATTE alone, and with better oppor-
tunities for knowing his chivalrous ma
ture, the larger body of them followed
uEQuestioningIy his more merciful. and
less lawless practices and not a few
OF the men actually relished the
changed conditions in which they
found themselves. i, ~
Garonne, who had been given a yes
sci Of his owns had gathered TO him
self the most sunregencrate of Laro's
followers, and entered upon career
in which he observed the same meth
DDS as his former commander. with
the result that re was finally brought
to execution, together with most of
his crew. in a South American port.
Life at the Ursuline convent was,
for many months, a burden TO I.azalie.
and her whims and caprices made it
but little less SO to the mother SUI
perior and nuns. But they, with a
lively remembrance of many generous
favors 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 Laftte's consent to
her removal from the convent and
taking a house of her own. where.
with MaAm 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 befeIl
something which struck LATTE with
a new despair. and took from him all
hope of ever being asked to render
little Roselle the smallest service,

rs she quite happy, Zeney?"
Happy? How could a wild bird be
happy in cage, even if its bars were
made of gold?"
She was about to continue, but La
fitte. as if not caring to pursue the
subject, asked; "Is your master here?"
Zeney nodded, and pointed to a
closed door near them, He is in there,
and alone"
LATTE, turning from her. knocked
at the door, and De Cazeneau's voice
answered. "Entrez"
This the former did, leaving the
door ajar.
Nato. now a tall, wiry lad of six

company him to Grandc Terre. He

but too far away to catch the con-
versation between LATTE and Zeney,
even had they spoken in language
he understood.
But he watched them with curious
eyes, having often heard Of Zeney
and her feputed powers served to
make her Jan object of awe and aver
sion to hi as to most OF his class.
1t was. therefore. with a sigh of re
lief that he saw her disappear, after
his master had gone inside.
He remained sitting on the steps,
his chin supported by two yellow
palms, while group Of young negroes
who had drawn near to cape curiously

proceeded to converse in way evi-

der, he saw girlish, white clad form
standing in the doorway through
which LATTE had passed G. few min
utes before. Presently he saw one OF
her little hands go to her side. as if
she had been startled or was expert
encing some strong emotion; and she

even should the occasion or 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 a 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 time with greater recklessness
than before, although the rumor men
toned by Pierre had now become
fact, inasmnch as the governor of Lou
isiana had issued a proclamation offer
ing a reward for Lafitte's apprehen-
sion.
This had come about by reason of a
melee in the bayou I.afourche, 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 copy of
the proclamation, he had, without de-
lay, taken pinnace and set out for
the extreme southerly side of Grande
Terre. upon which was the Count de
CaZeneau's abode.
At the sound of Lafitte's feet upon
the steps, a womans weakened face,
| wrinlSled and scowling, its coffeehne
contrasting with wisps of gray, wiry
wool showing from beneath bright
| colored bandanna, was projected from
! one of the numerous doors opening
| from the hallway into various rooms
| in the two wings of the building.
1t was apparent that she recognized
| the visitor fer she came out into the
hall and, despite her age, advanced
brisl1ly toward him.
/ "Ah, Zeney, there you are, looking
| as young as ever was his smilingly
! spoken greeting.
| Always YOU say words. Captain
Jean, that please. even when one
knows they are not true
! LATTE laughed lightly.
rs your young mistress wesi?" he
inquired.
! Eyes. she is we'll Zeney answered,
| in a tone implying that more might be
said.

Within the room, near whose open

GREAT AUTHOR AT PLAY.
Interesting "reminiscences Of One Who
Knew Hawthorne.

Mrs. Sedgwick, in "A Girl of Six
teen at Brook Farm" gives a little
sketch of Hawthorne which shows him
in pleasant and merry light. although
in general, she acknowledges, the
great author was silent almost tacit
urn. One day she was learning verses
to recite at the evening class formed
by Charles A. Dana, when, seeing
Hawthorne sitting immovable and sol
itary on the sofa, she daringly thrust
the book in his hands.
will you hear me say my poetry
Mr. Hawthorne?" l said.
He gave ne sidelong glance from
his very shy eyes, took the book an(
most kindly heard me. After that he
was on the sofa every week to heal
me recite.
One evening he was alone in the
hall, sitting on a chair at the farther
end, when my roommate and l were
going upstairs. She whispered to me:
Lets throw; a sofa pillow at Mr.
Hawthorne
Reaching over the banisters. We
each took a pillow and threw it
Quick as a flash he put out his hand
seized broom that was hanging neal
him, warded off our cushions an6
threw them back with sure aim. Az
fast as we could throw them he re
turned them with effect, hitting us
every time, while we could only hi

quick in his movements.
Through it all not word was spok

eyes shone and twinkled like stars
until we went off to bed vanquished.
