sip at the various eating and drinking
places frequented by them.
One of these was called lie Chen
Heureux," a two-story house situated
down near one of the quays. Lights
were blinking brightly from its small
windows, and inside several stoves
were burning, where Thiel, the land
lord, and his one assistant, were pre-
pairing supper for several civilians and
soldiers who sat about, talking and
drinking, at the various small tables.
Sitting near the fire, two soldiers
and a citizen, together with Jean and
Pierre, were listening to a man in
their midst, who, from his talk and
appearance, seemed to have been an
extensive traveller. This was Laro, an
habitue of lie Chen Heureux when
on shore from the "Aigle," a rakish-
looking brigantine, of which he was
owner and captain.
Jean listened with an attention
which, for some reason, appeared to
amuse Laro, who, now and then, with
a quizzical smile lighting his black
eyes, glanced askance at the boys en-
raptured face.
Laro's story had been listened to by
others seated around the tables, who
occasionally reminded Thiel to hurry
their suppers.
The next minute soldierly-looking
man came in, the uniform Of a petty
officer showing as he unclasped and
threw off the heavy cloak that had en-
veloped him. After demanding sup
per as speedily as possible, he seated
himself some distance away from the
group at the fire.
But Pierre had been staring open
mouthed at him; and now the sound
Of his voice caused Jean to start, and
turn his head quickly in the direction
OF the shadowy corner where the sol
der was seated.
"Greloire!" he breathed.

onym Of what was utterly detestable.
Her fears were realized when the
surrender was accomplished, and the
English ships sailed triumphantly
into port, landing five thousand Of
their own troops and eight thousand
Spaniards.
This proceeding was regarded with
the greatest alarm and indignation by
the Revolutionists, who, considering
the surrender an act Of treachery, re-
solved to retake Toulon, and drive the
allies from the soil of France. Two
armies were marched upon Toulon;
and siege was begun which for three
months made but little apparent prog

Affairs within the city became I'm.

heavy, as Jean, seeming to throw of
all restraint, wandered day after day
about the streets, associating with
soldiers. and rough characters.
Margot had not dared to communi-
cate much of her misgivlngs from the
day, now several weeks past, when,
after demonstrating warmly as to
some offense he had committed, she
babe him ask himself II his father
would have approved the act, and

fiercely upon her.

He looked so big and terrible in his
rage that Margot, silent and fright
ened, felt that he was almost
stranger to her-this boy she had car
ried in her arms, and whom she had
loved and watched over for so many
years.
It was the last night Of November,
when darkness fell early over the city,
and Margot was preparing her lonely
evening meal. Where Jean and
Pierre we're, she knew not, but pre-

The AvondaIe Camp Will Be Kept
Open Permanently.

NEW ORLEANS. Sept. Is, 1908.
Hon. w. A. O'Niell, Baldwin, La.
Dear Mr.. O'Niell:
| should have written you before
this. but have been occupied since
have been in town.
Immediately upon my return to New
Orleans, | went to see DR.. White, and
the situation is this: The Avondale
camp will be kept open permanently,
and charge of Sl.OO a day will be
made against all of those who pass
through the camp. Under the law,
DR.. White has no authority to main
tain camp merely for inter-parish
communication. SO this is the best
possible arrangement that could be
made.
Now. if any of the planters want to
get any labor for the grinding sea-
son. originating in uninfected points.
if they will take it up direct with Dr.
White, or with me, if they prefer, ar
engagements can be made to have this
labor switched around New Orleans in
closed. screened ears. which will pre-
clude any danger of infection. This
assure you. is the best that can be
done under the circumstances.
With best wishes. / remain. as ever,
Yours truly.

ALL CARS FUMlGATED BY U. S
OFFICERS.

The United States Government
is not only bending every energy
successfully in the fight against
the mosquito and the spread OF
yellow lever, but is also doing
everything in its power to edu-
cate the public at large in the
scientific measures that should be
taken for the prevention OF the
spread of the disease. There art
now very few communities sub
iect to the fever which have not
begun war on the m squitO, while
many of the towns which quaran-
tined against freight from infected
points have accepted the positive
assurance of the Marine Hospital
Surgeons that infection cannot be
transmitted by freights and have
raised their guarantees against
free commerce. In not a single
instance has infection been brought
in this way. Texas, which has
not developed a case of yellow
fever, has consequently received
immense quantities Of freights
from New Orleans and other in
fected points.
For the benefit of those commu-
mites which still hesitate to re-
ceive freights from New Orleans
even after the cars have been
fumigated under the supervision
of the Marine Hospital Service,
Surgeon j. H. White, in charge at
New Orleans for the federal gov
ernment, has made this statements:
eff any outside communities re-
quests it, | will arrange to place
on each freight car leaving New
Orleans for those points, an official
statement to the effect that the
car has been properly fumigated
by the United States Government
and all mosquitoes that may have
been in such car have been killed
after the car had been loaded and
closed. This should satisfy even
the most skeptical."
Every yellow fever authority in
the world insists that the disease
is transmitted by mosquitoes
alone.

WHY DID HE NOT SCREEN.

The outbreak of yellow fever in
Berwick is quite sad, doubly SO
because of the conditions. How
any physician in times like this
could administer to a sick child
with fever for several days and
not discover yellow fever symp-
toms until death takes place is
hard for us to understand, it seems
to US that there should be a way
Of depriving such men Of their
diplomas. They have struggled
hard at Berwick, have been so
unanimous in their efforts to pro-
tect themselves as we'll as their
neighbors. it is a crime, In all
probability 20 or 80 people have
laid themselves liable to Infection.
We learn that they are working
with vim fumigating and doing
every thing possible to stamp out
the disease should there be other
subjects, this probably will do
much to confine it to the original
foci. and yet others may have gone
to other parts of the town and it
is possible that it will break out
in several places-Morgan City
