SOME FRANKS OF LIGHTNING.
Fantastic Tricks Played Upon Unfor-
tunatc Victims.

One Of the fantastic tricks which
lightning plays upon its unfortunate
victims is a kind Of fashlight pho
Biography. There are numerous in
stances of this which are more or less
authenticated, but they seem almost
too wonderful to be believed. One
of these is Of a young man in New
Jersey who was struck by lightning
and was taken in an ambulance to the
hospital at once. There seemed to be
no wound except a small mark on the
back, but while the doctors and
nurses were examining him a picture
began to develop on the skin. Soon
before the wondering eyes OF the
watchers appeared perfect picture
of the figure of Christ nailed TO the
cross. The explanation is that on the
wall opposite the bed on which the
young man lay was the picture which
was reproduced on his skin.
Another instance is Of a man who
was struck by lightning, and on his
chest were red marks resembling the
tree with all it's branches under which
the man was standing when he was
killed. From France comes the story
of a peasant girl who was driving a
cow from the pasture when she was
overtaken by a storm, and she and
the COW took refuge under the tree. A
bolt killed the COW and stunned the
girl. When she recovered conscious
ness she found on her chest picture
of the COW she had been driving
The chatelaine Of tho castle OF
Benatonnaire was sitting in a CHAIR
in her salon when the chateau was
struck by lightning. She was quite
uninjured, but on the back Of her
dress was found perfect copy of the
chair on which she had been sitting,
down to its minutest ornament. These
are a few of the many strange prsnks
which lightning plays uron us.

The speculative eyes turned a smil.
ing glance upon him as the emperor
said, at is scarcely a safe thing to
aver what may or may not lie in the
future. You, who seem so DESTROYS of
serving me-cannot you promise me
this?"
Indeed, yes, Sire" was the fervent
answer as the speaker bent to touch
with his lips the hand pressing his
own.
BE it so. Now'-and the clasping
hand released its hold-"you must
leave me; and be sure to remember
my wish that you remain with Murier
until you hear from me. Goodnight,
Greloire. Goodnight, Jean.
The gray eyes and dark ones ex-
changed a last feeting glance of part
ing as Lafitte, following Greloire from
the room, paused an instant in the
doorway to look back.
LATTE, quartered in one Of Madame
Teche's dimity-hung chambers, slept
little that night. He reviewed again
and again the meeting with Napoleon,
until his brain was in turmoil of
thought that banished sleep.
II the emperor would go to Amer
lea, might not he, Lafitte, be the
means of getting him there in safety?
II was late when Greloire went to
sleep, still half-conscious of the foot
steps in the room next to his own !;
and he awoke to see LATTE standing
by his bedside.

CHAPTER XVIII.

When LATTE and Greloire were
ushered into Napoleon's cabinet, and
the formers eyes fell upon him he
had for so many years longed to see,
his first sensation was that of pain.
The slender form was gone,-lost
in the personality of the stout, middle
aged man, who, lounging in a velvet
cushioned chair, looked at LATTE
carelessly-coldly, as at an entire
stranger.
His appearance and attitude bore
out Greloire's remark,-that it was
said the emperor was strangely in
different to everything" Every line
of the listless face and relaxed form
indicated this.
AS the eX-soldier approached and
bowed low, faint smile lightened Ma
poleon's repellent expression, and he
said graciously, "Greloire, | am
pleased to see you, and to know that
you have not forgotten one who
thought highly of you in more pros
porous days. Who is this you bring
with your
"Sire, Captain Jean LATTE, of LOU
isiana," answered Greloire, after a
moments hesitancy; and LATTE, COM
ing forward, bowed respectfully.
"Jean Lafitte," Napoleon repeated
slowly, looking, not at the former, but
at Greloire. Il have heard the name
before, but not to the wearer's credit
I ask you, Greloire, and his voice
took a yet icier note,-"you, who are
his sponsor, why Captain Jean LATTE
of Louisiana, dare present himself
before me?"
81, Jean LATTE, will answer your
question, Sire; I, Jean LATTE, of
louisiana And / say to the man
whom my boyish heart adored. and
whom my mans heart loves, that
dare present myself to him because
I have ships, gold, men, at my com.
mand, and all these, with my own
life, are his, if he can find use for
them"
There was a short silence, and one

''Tut, tut, boy" replied Napoleon,
with all his old air of affection, and
tapping the shoulder upon which one
Of his hands still rested, when you
have reached my years you will know
better than to waste time and
thoughts in useless regrets. Let the
past go, Jean, my lad, and look only
into the future"
The emperor resumed his seat, and
resting his hands upon the arms of
the chair, stared straight before him,
while LATTE stood looking down at
the seated form.
"And may / not do something for
your" urged LATTE, making a final
appeal.
Mono. Go, you and Greloire;
you must leave me, for / feel it un-
wise that you remain another mo-
ment. You can do nothing-nothing,
for me. But | am glad to have seen
you-both of you; and | thank you,
Jean, my valiant ghost from the past,
for your offer and your love-"
The emperor, as he spoke, leaned

as in his touch upon Lafitte's hand.
eff ever time should come, sSire
when l can serve you, may | have
the honor and happiness of receiving
your commands?" was asked longing
ly.
"And you would come to me?"
"Come to you?" said Lafitte, in a
tone so emphatic that the emperor
made a gesture of warning. Eyes,
Sire, through all the ships England
might seek to interpose."
'If this be SO, Jean. then perhaps
you may some day hear from me.
Meanwhile your adopted country (and

able enemy; and the conflict may af-

that seemed heavy, after the passion
ate voice had ceased. Then an icy
tone made sharp contrast as the en-
peror said, These ships, men, and
gold, Captain Lafitte-how is it that
you come to have them?"
LATTE found it difficult to control
himself-to make his voice and bear
ing accord with the respect he felt,
and had but now expressed, for the
man whose sarcastic calm turned
back the impetuous torrent Of his
feelings. But the tone in which he
replied was quiet, although husky
with repressed emotion.

distorted my name and acts, and
which | perceive have reached your
ears TO prejudice you against me,

was personally gained by legitimate
means-in trading, and also by war

in its way. l have come with the
same heart for whose love you once
cared, to pray that you let me serve
you, if l may, and die happy. in win
ming back the peace of mind reck-
less boy threw away"
A new light swept like softening
hand across Napoleon's austere face.
Captain LATTE. you are right" he
said, with an entire change of voice
and manner. He extended his hand;
and LATTE, with a rush of new emo
tons, bowed deeply, and pressed it
to his lips.
AS he raised his head, the emperor's
fingers frightened their clasp, and he
rose to his feet.
"a man whose heart can treasure
such love for me during all these
many years is surely one who should
not be misjudged." he said, looking
up into the younger mans face;
most surely not by me, and at such
a time as the present"
AS he uttered the final words he
placed his arms around Lafittes
shoulders and embraced him.
"Sirel"
A volume OF emotions spoke in that
single word.
"Sire, my whole heart is grateful
for these words of confidence and
esteem. No one can realize better
than myself how grave was the mis-
take made; and no man would make
greater sacrifices to undo it.
