An hour before sunset the fog rolled
up, revealing the man-of-war anchored
near enough for the men on her deck

q glass. The anchors of both vessels
were raised at once, and the chase
wastenewed, with the pursuer not
mil away. and heading about south
west. which would soon bring her
within range of the brigantine, whose
course lay due west.
"A curl of smoke soon rose from
the Englishman's deck, and few
seconds later there came the report
of gun. "A pressing invitation for
us to show our colors," remarked La
'fitte, as he watched the shot strike
the water
A short time passed, with the BLACK
Petreps" crew uneasy and Lopez
swearing softly in his native tongue.
The pursuer then began more per-
sistent firing with her bow-guns, but
none of the shots reached their mark
Presently tssntte, who was standing
near Lopez, asked quietly, How would
a shot work now? Try, and see"
The old gunner, with shout due to
hiAlong repressed feelings, set about
letyling his gun, calculated the dis
tanSe, and obtained the proper eleva-
ton.
There was report, soon followed
by trembling of the enemys spars;
and the brigantine's crew crowded to
see the result.
You have struck their foremost,
just below the futtocks," announced
Lafitte. looking through his glass.
AYE, sir; and l viii sing them an
other such sweet song" said Lopez
coolly, watching his men reload the
gun.
The enemy had meantime come "a
little closer, and was dropping shot
viciously about the brigantine.

CostIier than Champaune.

Although champagne is called the
wealthy water" there are few hotels
in the country where one can pay
more than 81 quart for it, while, on
the other hand, there are hundreds of
places where Burgundy is sold as high
as s35 quart. At one hotel the menu
advertises a special brand Of this fine
wine for $25 bottle. There are any
number of Rhine wines which cost
above So, and there is big demand
for them. Champagne does not i'm

Vice President William H. McIntyre's
share was $14.420. All of those who
took part in these dealings, the report
says, should be compelled to pay back
the sums received by them. This is
only a very mild punishment" says
the report.
Extravaganza and waste in salaries
are severely condemned. The in
crease in this respect in the execu-
tive Offices was from $3.50 100 in 1900
to $685. 600 in 1904. It was found that
AleXander's salary was advanced from
$4,000 per annum to 100000 without
his request, in order that James H.
Hyde's salary might be increased to
the same figure The summing up
against Hyde is severe. 1t is set
forth that he permitted the society to
lose heavily in it's business transac-
tons with the Commercial Trust com
pany; that he exacted the salaries
out of all proportion to his age abil-
ity, or value of his services; that he
has been accustomed to draw large
sums for expenses on his own itemized
vouchers; that he assumed the domin-
alton of the society's affairs until the
presidency was reduced to the position
Of secondary Importance and that he
proceeded to use the society and it's
assets more and more as if they were
his own, until he was checked by the
demand for naturalization and his re-
tiremcnt
