CHAPTER XIV.

After the death Of Laro q new and
somewhat better order OF things pre-
vailed among the so-called Pirates Of
the Gulf"
Now under the direct leadership OF
LATTE alone, and with better oppor-
tunities for knowing his chivalrous ma
ture, the larger body Of them followed
unquestioningly his more merciful and
less lawless practices; and not few
VI the men actually relished the
changed conditions in which they
found themselves.
Garonne, who had been given a YES
sci of his own, had gathered to him
self the most unregenerate of LarO's
followers, and entered upon career
In which he observed the same meth
DDS as his former commander, with
the result that he was finally brought
to execution. together with most Of
his crew. in a South American port.
Life at the Ursuline convent was,
for many months, burden to Lazalie,
and her whims and caprices made 1t
but little less SO to the mother SUI
peTlOT anu HUNS. but tuey, Will d
lively remembrance OF many generous
favors from LATTE, felt that they
must bear patiently with the charge
he had left in their keeping.
La Roche, as her banker and man
Of business. came often to see his
fair client, and ended by falling In
love with her--a fact he was wise
enough to keep to himself. And, later
on, he obtained Lafitte's consent to
her removal from the convent and
taking a house OF her own, where
with Ma'am Brigida and retinue Of
slaves, the high-strung beauty seemed
more contented.
When the summer OF 1872 had
brought the Cazeneau household to
their Barataria home, there befell
something which struck LATTE with
a new despair, and took from him all
hope OF ever being asked to render
little Roselle the smallest service,

How to Wash Ribbons.

The washing of ribbons is not al
ways attended by the best results. The
following is milliner's method and
most successful: Put the ribbon into
a basin of warm water, rub on some
good white soap and wash as you
would anything else. While still wet
iron on the right side with hot iron
and when dry rub between the hands
as if washing it until all the stiffness
is out, then iron again to remove the
wrinkles. When ribbons are washed
in this way it is difficult to tell them
from new.
Nearly every woman knows from
experience how difficult it is to wash
successfully a crocheted shawl and
have 1t look fluffy and in prime condl-
ton when dry. One woman made
triumphantIy successful experiment
She put the shawl into a pillow case,
tied a string around the top, and then
washed it in plenty of soap and no.
water.

Serviceable Eolienne,

Eolienne has place among coat
materials this season, but wolfe, save
in coat and skirt costumes, has lost
favor with the coatmakers. The silky
eolienne lends itself readily to the
flowing lines of the loose, full coat,
whether short or long, and Is a serv-
iceable material; though. on the
whole, a taffeta coat is better invest
ment than one of eolienne, even II
more expensive at the start.

stood with Bonded head, as IL listen
ing.
Nato was still staring at the girl
when she started impetuously, and
went hurriedly down the hallway.
Led by curiosity, the boy jumped to
his feet, and saw her descend the
steps Of the back gallery. and go
swiftly into the woods, which seemed
to swallow up the snowy form and
glittering hair-swallow them SO sud-
denly as to leave in the boys supersti-
tious mind an uncomfortable sugges-
ton that she was not real flesh and
blood, but 'sperit," or perhaps a
second voudoo priestess.
Within the room, near whose open
door the girl had stood. LATTE and
De Cazeneau were having serious
conversation.
Following the custom of the time,
De Cazeneau had reached out to ring
bell for refreshments, when LATTE,
with an expressive gesture. stayed his
hand
"No, M'sieur lie Comte. l can tarry
but very short time-only long
enough to impart the very important
intelligence / came to bring you"
And he held out paper he had
drawn from his pocket.
The count, having put on his
glasses, took the document: and his
wavering hands made the blue paper
culver as If his own startled pulse
beats had stolen into it while he read
the contents aloud

running In contraband goods, which
has hitherto prevailed in different
parts of the state, to the great injury
of the fair trader. and the diminution
Of the revenue Of the United States,
has of late much increased; and.
whereas IL has been ofiicially known
to me that, on the 14th of last month,
a quantity Of struggled goods, seized
by Walter Gilbert. an oficer of the
revenue OF the United States, we're
forcibly taken from him In open day,
at no great distance from the city Of
New Orleans, by party Of armed
men, under the orders OF certain
Jean Lafitte, who fired upon and griev-

even should the occasion or necessity
arise.
Her childish trust In him became de-
stroyed: he saw her shrink from him
In terror and adherence. And this
awakened In him the knowledge that
the--as he upposed--paternal love he
had been cherishing for the child OF
her who had always been hts ideal. was
not the affection OF father for his
daughter. but the love of q man for
. woman.
The bitterest potion he had ever
swallowed was now working In his
veins. Yet no one would have sus-
pected this, as he went his way, and
for q time with greater recklessness
than before, although the rumor men,
toned by Pierre had now become q
fact, inasmuch as the governor OF Lou
isiana had issued proclamation offer
ing a reward for Lafitte's apprehen-
sion.
This had come about by reason of a
melee in the bayou Lafourche, and
which proved to be the chip which
kindled to blaze the long-smoulder-
ing Are OF wrath against the Bara'
tarians. f
When the information was brought
to LATTE, accompanied by copy OF
the proclamation. he had. without de-
lay, taken q pinnace and set out for
the extreme southerly side of Grande
Terre, upon which was the Count de
Cazeneaus abode.

the steps, = woman's weakened face,

one OF the numerous doors opening
from the hallway into various rooms
in the two wings OF the building.
It was apparent that she recognized
the visitor, for she came out into the
hall and, despite her age. advanced
briskly toward him.
"Ah, Zeney, there you are, looking
as young as ever" was his smilingly
spoken greeting.
Always you say words. Captain
Jean, that please, even when one
knows they are not true"
LATTE laughed lightly.
"Is your young mistress well!" he
inquired.
Eyes. she is WELL" zcney answered,
n tone implying that more might be
said.

The wonderful power of Lydia e.

the diseases of womankind is not be-
cause it is stimulant. not because it
is palliative. but simply because it is
the most wonderful tonic and recon-
structor ever discovered to act directly
upon the generative organs, positively
curing disease and restoring health and
vigor.
Marvellous cures are reported from
all parts Of the country by women who
have been cured, trained nurses who
have witnessed cures and physicians
who have recognized the virtue of
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and are fair enough to give
credit where it is due.
If physicians dared to be frank and

they know by experience it can be re-
lied upon to effect q cure. The follow

Trainina the Skin,


The usual effect of draft OF cold
air upon the back of the neck is cold
and sore throat. Many years ago
DR.. Brown Sequard. an eminent
French physician, devised means by
which sore throat from this cause
might be prevented. By blowing upon
the back OF the neck with pair OF bel
lows, increasing the time each day, he
trained his patients until they could
endure this treatment for half an hour
without injury.
It is not necessary to be exposed to
a draft of air on the back of the neck
in order to obtain this result. By
means of the cold bath, the wet-sheet
rub, the shower bath, towel friction,
etc, the skin may be educated to con-
tract on the slightest increase Of cold.
Daily exposure to the contact Of cold
air is of the utmost Importance. 1t Is
because of the constant exposure to
cold that the Indians body is "all face"
-thesskin of his whole body has
learned to take care of itself.

How to Resist Old Age.

A chain is as weak as its weakest
link The body Is as weak as its
weakest organ. To combat the on
ward march of old age all organs must
be marshaled to harmonious resist
ance. This resistance can be devel-
oped best by cultivating reaction" :"
This means that the body forces act
against some external stimulation and
overcome it.
The best developer of reaction is
cold-either cold air or cold baths.
This must be done gradually, espe-
cially If one is already weak. Guilt
vate the power of resistance by daily
exposure to cold air. Live out Of
doors as much as possible. The abil-
ity to resist cold will also enable one
to resist pneumonia, dyspepsia, apo
plexy. diabetes, obesity, old age.
The cold morning bath is wonder
full youth preserver. Try it. Begin
carefully. At first rub face. arms and
chest with the hands dipped in cold
water. Then the rest of the trunk and
the legs. Dry quickly and exercise for
ten or fifteen minutes. In month
you will hardly know yourself. Try IT.

Gift for Presidents Son.

The Wyoming and South Dakota
cowboys who went to the inaugura ion
gave a small-siZed wild West show be-
fore they left, which was attended by
practically the entire junior popnla-
tion of Washington and a large num-
Der of senator's.
At the close Of the show the cow
boys selected a handsome bay cow
pony and presented 1t to Theodore
Roosevelt, Jr., who. with his brothers.
was in evidence at the performance.
Young Theodore rode the horse home
to receive his fathers approval OF it
and permission to accept the gift.
The president came out from the ex-
ecutive offices bareheaded and stood in
the rain while his son rode up and
down to show off his horses gaits.
When he passed by single footing the
president shouted:
Good doings, good doings." and
gave his assent at once to acceptance
Of the animal by the boy.
. In the evening the president invited
all the visiting cowboys to the White
house. where they met Mrs. and Miss
Roosevelt and other members of the
family and several callers.
