Orleans was to be attacked as soon as
the English could concentrate a suf-
flcient force for that purpose; and
Gov. Claiborne had called a session of
the legislature, besides taking all other
measures in his power toward raisir &
means for defense. But the legislators
were slow to cooperate with him; and
the same malcontents whose scheming
had already wrought such harm to
Louisiana were using all possible
means to neutralize the governors eff.
forts.
AS LATTE listened to all this, he
congratulated himself anew that the
"Black Petrol" lay anchored safely
before Grande Terre. He felt also that
no time could have been more aus
picious for making the offer he pro.
posed to lay before the governor,-an
offer of service by himself and his
followers, in consideration Of pardon
for all past misdeeds, whether actual
or alleged.
When he voiced these thoughts and
plans to Pierre, the latter agreed un-
reservedly: and both men were con-
fident of their ability to obtain the ac-
quiescence of their followers.
But think you, JEAN" inquired the
more cautious Pierre, there is not
reason to doubt If Gov. Claiborne ac-
cept our offer? l do not wish to damp
en- thy ardor; but we must remember
the threats he has made against the
Baratarians."
"He surely will not make the mis-
take Of refusing our services in such
an emergency-tt time when every
man able to bear a gun will be sorely
needed in New Orleans" was Jeans
confident reply; and Pierre raised no
more doubts that night
Among the other items of informa-
ton he had given (and which, al
though of slight interest to himself,
were otherwise to his listener), war
that Count de Cazeneau had, at La
Roche's invitation. closed his house in
New Orleans, and gone with his grand
daughter for visit to the formers
plantation, la Tete des Faux, near the
head of Bayou Bienvenu; also that La
Roche had taken this occasion to per.
suade his ward, the Senorita Lazalie,
to join his house party.
"He is now a general in the state
militia" Pierre added; "and"-with a

discussions in Convention.


Oficers of our state dairy associa-
lions may profit by an action of the
American Warehousemens Associa-
ton at their convention in Washing
ton last week. 1t was there decided
that hereafter all such portions OF
committee reports as invite discus
sion by the members at the annual
convention shall be printed and dis
tributed to the members before the
meeting.
In the conventions Of associations
formed to forward the mutual inter
ests Of the membership by improving
methods of business, devising and
urging legislation, etc., a full discus
sion by the assembled members is, if
properly conducted, the most potent
force. This is generally recognized
and yet in great majority Of cases
the time of the sessions is so largely
taken up by the reading of addresses
upon various subjects that the discus
sions are cut short and very often
have to be left out altogether.
At the meetings of dairy associa-
tons and butter and cheesemakers' as
sociations there are usually number
of papers prepared upon subjects des-
ignated by the officers the reading Of
which takes much time. If these could
be forwarded to the secretary In ad-
vance they might be printed and dis.
tributed to the members before the
meeting with very little additional ex-
pense to associations which print their
reports in full because the type forms
could be kept standing for use in the
full report. The advantages would be
three fold First, the members would
be much better prepared to discuss
the subjects brought up if they had
time to consider them before the
meeting; second, the time of the cen
vention could be more largely devoted
to the discussion; and third, the full
report Of the proceedings could be pub
lished much more promptly after the
convention had closed.
We commend this plan to the con.
sideration of all such associations as
would be benefited by its adoption

mapping out for himself, would be her
place!
The remembrance of the last time
he had seen her, with her girlish face
and form manifesting such shrinking
terror of him, had its sorrow now
lightened by the hope. so strong in his
heart, that he would be able to redeem
himself in her estimation.
The 'Black Petrel," keeping sharp
lookout for English vessels, stole into
the Gulf of Mexico, and sped across it.
Then, turning to the east and north,
LATTE made for the western shore of
Grande Terre and the harbor of Bara-
taria, where. in due time, the brigan-
tine dropped anchor.
It was the evening of Lafltte's ar
rival. He and Pierre were alone to-
gether, and, being unable to count up
on unlimited privacy, they seated
themselves for a full talk and compar-
ison of notes,-Jean to give Pierre the
particulars OF his recent trip, and to
hear from him an account of the hap
penings at Barataria and New Orleans.
81 wish l might have been with you

sounded like sigh 81 have a longing

Before you die!" repeated Jean,
a slight touch of testiness in his tone.

think you were three-score. at least. in
stead of a stalwart giant of half those
years." and he laughel l, half-playfully,
half-deridingly.
There was no answering smile on
Pierre's face, which was again turned
to the ire. But after a momentary
silence he said, abstractedly, as If
thinking aloud, 81 cannot give good
reason for it, but there has of late
been something like conviction grow

raised his eyes TO Jeans wondering

speak no more in such fashion.

somehow it was taste worse

"And, as l have also said, we will go
together, and soon. We will return to
Languedoc, thou and l, Pierre, and see
the old gardens, and roam in the park,
and try to be boys once more" The
words ended with joyous laugh.
"And read of De Soto, and Pizarro,
and the tales Of louisiana" added
Pierre interrogatively curious sad
ness touching his voice.
NAY, indeed not" replied Jean, so
bering at once. 1--WE have lived too
many practical chapters Of like sort,
my Pierre, to ever again enjoy the old
book"
"And the emperor" said Pierre ir-
relevantly; ito think Of his keeping
the little box of papers for thee!"
"Yet it was like him to do such a
thing" asserted Jean, with vibrant
tone and glowing face. "Ah, If but he
were back in France, and free from
those cursed English!"

sounding in his voice. 1.-THE English

From what Pierre told him that
night, Jean LATTE knew, as clearly
as though he had remained at Bara-
taria, all that had transpired since his
departure.
This had been shortly after Gen.
Andrew Jackson defeated the Creek
Indians at the battle called "Tohope-
kah, "a disaster that broke their pow
er, and compelled the English to cease
reckoning upon them as alnes. And
after this signal victory Gen. Jackson
had been given command Of the Sew
enth military district, which included
the State of Louisiana.

able to do by ourselves quite as well

Savage Life.
The low caste Siamese of the jungle
have few wants, and live like animals,
eating chiefly wild fruits and rice,
which they raise in small cleared
spots, wherever they happen to tenn
porarily settle. Like the Karens, the
Jungle people of Burma, they are al
ways on the move, and in common
with all low caste Siamese are petty
thieves of an incurable propensity.
Yet they are ooedient-servile to an
unpleasant degree for white blood.
They manufacture nothing save crud-
est domestic household necessities
and personal ornaments from bamboo.
Clothes are Of slight consequence. On
the jungle edge they go uncovered,
men and women, above the waist, the
panung reaching within four inches of
the knee; but deep in the jungle they
are practically naked.
Their single implement is a long
bladed, butcherlike knife, used as path
maker, as weapon together with a
wood spear) and industrially in fash
Joining out of TIE ubiquitous bamboo
their ornaments, their buckets, their
rope, their string, their houses and
the food receptacles which take the
place of pots and pans and plates.
Nearly all of the jungle folk on both
sides of the Siam-Burma line tattoo
the thigh, sometimes from knee to
hip, more often from the knee to only
six inches above. The design may be
a turtle, or the much-dreaded tiger
done deliberately, but the one most
frequently seen, and the simplest, is
sort of lace or fringe pattern in the
middle of the thigh, or just below the
knee, like n garter. The women do
not tattoo, believing in beauty un-
adorned; heaven knows they need
adornment.-Outing.

CHAPTER XIX.

Before the week had ended the
''Black Petrer' filled her sails for Bar
ataria, with Greloires parting words
of advice repeating themselves in La
fitte's ears:-
Wind up your affairs in Louisiana,
mon ami, and do as the emperor de-
sires-return to France. and assume
your own name and rank"
So back to Louisiana he sailed, with
his mind in turmoil that gave un-
wonted austerity to his manner, and
awed his crew into much speculation.
The fever of his first impulse hav-
ing now abated, he began to upbraid
himself for having left Pierre, and
wondered if anything evil might have
befallen his foster-brother. Day by
day, as tho "Black Petrol" drew nearer
to Barataria, he kept himself busy by
querying as to what, if any, changes
would be found there, and as to what
progress the war had made.
Louisiana, and especially New Or
leans, must, in his judgment, be des-
tined TO bear share in the conflict
even though this might not be until
the eleventh hour; for the possession
of the Mississippi and its valley had,
for many years. been dream of Great
Britain's ambition.
Night and day, thinking matters
over, he resolved that his next step
would be to gather what he might of
men and shipping and wealth, and, in
the hope of wiping all stigma from his
name. offer these to the Governor of
Louisiana, for use in warning against
the English. And the possibility of
this opportunity being afforded him
with it's reward-a pardon for himself
and men, covering all past offenses-
the rehabilitation of himself before his
world, made his blood Jingle.
This accomplished. he would return
TO France, assume his fathers name
and rank, and stand ready to serve the
emperor.
And the Island Rose,-how had she
been faring all this time, and what,
amid the changed conditions he was

When Cabrillo coasted along the
shores of California in 1912. Santa
Cruz island was densely populated;
but in 1890, the early part of the mis-
sion period, only few inhabitants re-
manned, and these were gradually re-
moved by the padres to the vicinity
Of the Santa Barbara mission. The
cause of the depopulation was this:
The Russians and Aleuts on their an
nual seal hunts, continued through
more than a century, pillaged the is
