CHAPTER XXI.

Later in the day, Madame Riefet
VINO had been attacked by a nervous
headache, was lying down in one of
the pecrcoms on the lower floor, and
LaZalie sat reading aloud to her, the
Spanish girls rich voice being the
only sound to break the stiffness of
the cabin, where in the open doorway
Rose de CaZeneau sat listlessly. her
chin In her palms. and her eyes stray
ing to the primitive out-of-door world
around her.
SO wrapped was she in dreams ~
not TO know that LATTE had come
from Scipio's domain, and through the
room back of her, until, standing
above her, he asked gently, and with
a smile, Are you performing guard
duty, little Rose? Must | give the
countersign before | can pass out?"
"A vivid flush mantled her cheeks
as she sprang up and turned to face
him.
Il am sorry il I startled you" he
said, coming outside; and taking off
his brOad-brimmed hat he pushed the

tremor sounding in his voice, Il must,

mere sentiment-as to the place where

is not far from here-only little way
through the woods. Will you come
with me and listen to my story?"
Lifting her eyes to his, she saw such
an impressive solemnity in their dark
depths that something impelled her to
say, in the submissive tone of an
Obedient child, Yes. Captain Jean, /
will come with you"
As the man and girl took their way
side by side. Lazalie appeared in the
doorway. Her eyes blazed, and her

my brother: and never was a brother
! more true of heart or lovable than he
| although not a drop of kindred blood
ran iE our veins"
The listening girls amazement was
manifest not only in her face, but in
her voice, as she exclaimed, What.
Pierre LATTE not your brother, Cap
tain jean"
"No-ncr any blood relation what
ever. But Of this | will tell you pres
entity. What | wish to say now is,
that he talked to me of you, little
Rose. just before he died; your name
was the last that came from his lips.
"Mine?" she said in surprise. Il
SPOKE to him only once, Captain Jean,
and then it was but few words, when
he came TO the house, seeking grand
Lere."
Yes: but he saw you more than
once, even if you did not know it
do not remember it. And once was
sufficient for what | mean"
He sighed, end gave his head an up
ward toss. as If to throw off the
thoughts begotten by his allusion to
Pierre's death. and then, as if read
ing from book, he told her of the
Laneuedoc home, where he and Pierre
had spent their childhood: of his
father, Monsieur lie Baron of Ma
poleon, the young officer of his boyish
idolatry. He told of Margot, and
Pere Huot-of all the persons connect
ed with his life.
Rose listened intently. her face re-
fecting the feelings and emotions
aroused by Lafitte's story; and. more
than once, a mist Of tears dimmed the
violet eyes, perhaps moment before
filled with Indignation.
He said little in regard to his life
with Laro, but told fully of the meet
ing with Greloire. at Martinique,
which had aroused his better self.
At this, a small hand stole from its
fellows clasp, and was held out to
him He took it, and pressed his lips
to the soft fingers. Then. after re-
leasing it gently, he went on.
He told of his visit to Elba; of the

A DISCREET SUGGESTION.

While the unloaded pistol goes on
slaying its thousands and the ever
loaded oil can its tens of thousands
there Is something else that appears
equally as innocent and unassuming
that claims victims every year and
causes much financial loss and ex-
cuisite suffering among men and AMI
rails. The instrument Of death and
enRering referred to is the upturned
lr,nrfy nail 30 common around the
nveraee farm and In the backwards
" country stores. It may seem very
snail and simple act to stop and break
~ or turn down nall, but the small
end simple service may be the means
~ saving q life or Of preventing the
nnoet acute suffering the human body
can endure.

HOW TO FEED SHREDDED CORN
FODDER.

Experiments at the Maryland sta
ton show that:
/. A mixed feed" made by wet
ting shredded corn fodder and grain
together, is the best way to feed corn
fodder.
2. The mixed feed" was more d.
gestible and produced more flesh and
milk than same food fed separately
and dry.
8. There was less fodder wasted
by feeding 1t az . mixed feed than
BY feeding fodder and grain separate
~ and dry
4. The digestibility OF shredded
fodder was increased by feeding It
wet-the increase being SUFFICIENT to
warrant wetting.
5. The amount Of water consumed by
about the same with the different
methods Of feeding.

LOOK OUT FOR RABBITS AND
MICE

And now begins the war with mice
and rabbits. Let no one rest in fan
c.ed security unless thorough protect
ion has been given to everything that
they might devour. For mice, use
strychnine. with corn meal in cans,
scattered all over the grounds en-
dangered. For rabbits, the first and
most useful thing that can easily be
done is to destroy their hiding places
by burning up brush and rubbish
heaps. and stopping up holes In the
ground made BY other animals and
which they make their headquarters
in the wintry months. These holes
are most commonly found in the
woods or along the steep banks of
creeks and ravinel We have as yet

She laughed bitterly as that last

fore her, bringing with 1t an increase
OF color to her cheeks at thought Of
her past lack Of maidenliness.
Meanwhile Rose de Cazeneau stood
with LATTE beside what seemed

AS he described that scene in the

and at sight of them a strange smile

"Ah, my PIERRE" he murmured,
bending to lay his face against the
wood-fowers upon his foster-brother's
grave, "other eyes than thy jeans
