affairs cut, almost to one, with
jaunty basques and elbow sleeves.
In linen suits the redingote is the
prime favorite, but the redingote of
this year of grace has taken on many
shapes. There are the close fitting,
the half-fitting. the blouse body, part
and full or plain basque, and even q
bolero effect hanging over a high
girdle. The redingote, were 1t .

Suoared Sweet Potatoes.

Sweet potatoes are never better
than when cooked in the southern
style and baked with sugar. Boil and
peel the sweet potatoes and cut them
lengthwise into slices. Arrange them
in layers in a pudding dish. treating
each layer to butter and sugar In the
proportion OF a heaping tablespoonful
of butter and cup of sugar to each
quart of the potatoes. The sugar
should be of the moist, light-brown
variety. When the dish is full, with
bits of butter and sprinklings of sugar
for the top dressing, cover it and bake
for twenty minutes, then uncover and
let the potatoes brown. Properly pre-
pared, this is a delicious dish.

popularity, and will be one of the
most favored of wash materials dur
ing the coming summer. A delight
full suggestion for a gown of this sort
follows: The skirt is perfectly plain,
fitting over the hips and flaring pref
tily from the knees. The blouse is
built on the surplice order and the
collar and crosspiece are heavily
stitched. Three wide tucks form
round yoke, and a band of narrow
embroidery trims the collar and ex-
guimpe are allover embroidery, a
band of the latter, set between two
rows of tucks, making the deep cuffs.

CHAPTER VIII.

Captain Stanley, who had returned
TO the ballroom, wendell his way
amongst the dancers, his progress i'm
peded by some fair lady who greeted
him graciously-often eagerly, and
forced him to pause for an interchange
of vapid nothings. He then visited
all the apartments open to guests,
until he was convinced that the count
had kept his daughter at home, for
better protection against further inter
course with the handsome sutton he
had rejected so sornfully that same
afternoon.
But English love, like other love,
laughs at the barriers a stubborn par
ent may seek to interpose; and Count
de Cazeneaus decision was not calcu-
lated to discourage so strong-willed a
man as Captain Edward Stanley.
He had acceded to his sweetheart's
wishes by going, in proper form, to
her father: and the matter having
eliminated as the lovers had feared,
nothing was left but an elopement, for
which, in view of the counts probable
refusal, all the plans had been ar
ranged.
1t was shortly after midnight when
a tall man, enveloped in long cloak.
and followed closely by stalwart
negro who bore a stable bundle upon
his shoulders, looked toward the bril-.
1iantly lighted windows Of Count de
Cazeneau's house, whose inmates were
evidently celebrating, after the Gus
tomary fashion, the New Years ad-
vent. He paused moment in front
of the rambling, 1ow-built dwelling.
and then passed on, muttering words
which were scarcely benedlction
upon its owner.
After a walk of some twenty min
utes, the man and his silent follower
climbed the low wall that bounded the
counts domain, and, with the night
wind rustling the denuded cotton
stalks about them, struck of across
the broad fields until they reached

Wolfe IL Lovely Fabric.

In the wool voiles every day brings
out new fancy effects, and more beau
tiful ones. Probably it is the exquis-
iteness OF the seasons colors, their
softness, delicacy, adaptability, that
makes the materials seem more beau
tiful than ever before, but the designs
for weaving, embroidering and print
ing are certainly lovely.
Among the new fancy voiles are
some in fine checks. with little
squares woven in open work design
like large checks throughout the ma
terial. and over the surface at two
inch intervals are embroidered little
dots in the darker Of the two colors.

On New Years day Laro left New
Orleans for France; and when, seven
months later, he sailed away from
Toulon. bound for the coast of Bar
barry, with him were Jean and Pierre
LATTE.
The purposes Of this story require
but . general reference to Jean La
ftte's life during the fifteen years
which ensued after he left the country
of his birth, and linked his fortunes
into those of Laro.
He was then a lad of fifteen. And,
until he arose above the consequences
his needless youth had imposed upon
his better self, his life was passed
ashore and afloat, as best served the
immediate interests ut stake; at
times taken up by the cares and re-
sponsibilities Of legitimate business, at
times passed amid scenes Of widest
adventure and deadly peril. He,
while growing to manhood. alternated
between the counting-room and the
quarterback, associating now with
men of probity and position, and
again with desperadoes and cut
threats.
During this period, Laro-known in
New Orleans a. DON Morales de Cas-
tro-was in connection with Count de
Cazeneau and other more or less
prominent men, engaged in various
speculative schemes, some Of them be-
ing within the law, and others outside
Of It. The former included ventures
In trading, mining and timber cutting
whilst among the latter were snug
Cling and slave-trading. These opera
tions involved the ownership Of many
vessels, together with the employment
OF many men, and, taken as a whole,
they were very successful.
Smuggling and slave-trading had
always been within the line Of Laro's
occupations. and they were matters
to which he gave his personal atten-
ton. making many voyages to and
from the French and African coasts.
Then latterly, In addition to his
other nefarious pursuits, and under
cover Of letters Of marque issued by
one or another Of the newly formed
South American republics. he preyed
lawlessly upon whatever commerce
came within his reach.
His own brigantine, the "Black
Petrel," was Of remarkable speed,
heavily armed (ostensibly for its own
protection), and carried . crew con-
taiuing outcasts from al nations. but
