the darkness seem still more dismal

about to look upon after all these
eventful months.

Blanche and Harry, aged and s
respectively, we're very fond of maple
sugar.
Blanche, being of an inquisitive turn
of mind. asked her mother how it was
made.
The mother explained how maple

from the sap.
The explanation was not convincing
to Blanche, however, and she asked
her brother if he believed it.
Harry, who never doubted anything
his mother said. Immediately replied:
"Why, of course; you tap maple trees
and get maple sugar just the same as
you tap an oak tree and get tapioca."

and Pierre watched them from the
shore until they were well away from
the island.
Then LATTE said, speaking in a low
tone. I'VE must, for the present,
guard night and day against surprise,
and that will be all to occupy the
men until | can hear from the gov
ernor in regard to the proposition we
will lay before him.
Who will take it to New Orleans
inquired Pierre, adding quickly, as ne
saw his foster-brother hesitate, sure
" not yourself, Jean; never think you
of such thing. Do not FISK trusting
Claiborne so far; but let me take the
message"
You, No-a thousand tunes no:
To repeat your own words, l Would
rot trust Claiborne so far. NO. we
will send Beluche, and Lopez shall go
with him
Would it not be well to give Gen.
La Roche some hint of our proposal?'
THAT | intend to do Nato can be
trusted to take message to him.
Il think the boy would be fayed
alive for your interests-sooner than
betray them" Pierre remarked, as he
raised the spyglass and met the eyes
OF Beluche looking up at him; for the
barbarian boat, now freed OF It's I'M

shore below.

Beluche and Lopez, with small
crew. departed that same night upon
their mission to New Orleans, taking
with them Nato, who was to be land
ed in the woods, about two hours fast
walk from La Tete des Faux, Gen. La
Roches plantation on Bayou Bien-
venue.
Upon the day following Beluche's
departure, the Baratarians were sur
prised and puzzled, to see the so
phia' and her consOrt sail away to
the eastward. and their departure
caused LATTE to decide upon visit
to Bayou Bienvenue, as soon as he
should hear from Gov. Claiborne.
Nato returned several days later,
and brought a message from Gen. La
Roche, urging Lafitte to come at oace.

But he waited until the seventh day
after Beluche's departure, passing
meanwhile from wonder to Impotence
at the latter's delay, and at having re-
ceived no message from mis- ennis
saries in New Orleans.
1t was Nato who told LATTE that
Count de Cazeneau had removed to
Kanauhana, a small plantation ad-
joining La Tete des Faux. The, boy
said that the count had purchased
it, and was removing all his slaves
and other property from New Orleans.
LATTE was, for reasons of his own,
surprised at this piece of information,
and now summoned Baptistine. the
captain of the polacca upon which
Nato had returned.
Much of what Baptistine had to tell
was already known to LATTE, but the
former added to this by saying that
the ferment among the citizens Of
New Orleans appeared to be growing
more violent each day. There was
talk that when Gen. Jackson arrived
he would find but scanty support, and
the little man ended with: IF, my cap
tain, the fools begin to fight among
themselves, what will hinder the Eng
lish from stealing in upon them, while
they are busy calling one another
names"
He spoke in French, and Lafitte re-
piled in the same tongue, Truly they
are fools. to quarrel among them
selves at such time as this. Of
course he added, dropping general
ties, you saw our men before you left
the city,
Il did, my captain. They arrived
the second day before left, and told
me | was to pick up Nato OIL the Owls
Point. Captain Beluche went ashore
with Lopez as soon as The Lady Inez'
dropped anchor, and neither of them
had been heard from when l left"
Now, let me hear--if you know
OF what Nato has been trying to tell
me. 1t seems that Shapiro has sold
his place to Count Cazeneau."
Shapiro has not sold--only rented
it, to M'sieur lie Comte, for the winter,
as the count is far from well and
does not wish to- return to the city
until matters there promise less OF
excitement"

They say that parting is sweet sorrow,
And so it is. If they that part
Look forward to some glad Tomorrow
When each may claim the others heart.
The handclasp and the sacred meeting
OF lips in loves pure service-these
Bring recompense for much repeating
OF eager longings, If the seas
And hills and plains that keep US twain
Nav some day be recrossed again.
When we who say good-by forever,
Clasp hands and look through tear
dimmed eyes,
And know that we may never. never
Renew the rudely broken ties;
Oh. if from splendid realms above US
They may behold who gave us birth,
And still as weeping children love us.
How must they wonder that the earth
Can. as our hands unclasp, possess
Aught save the tomb of joyousness!
Their parting may be splendid sadness,
Who look with eager hopes beyond.
For whom the future treasures gladness
In payment of the joys they've pawned;
Rut how can heaven undo the sorrow
THAT they must bear who, loving, part
And see ahead no glad tomorrow
No cleaning afterwhile, sweetheart?
Who have no dear excuse. alas,
TO count the moments as they pass!

CHAPTER xxlI.-continued.

III they'll not come out, then we
can kill them through the door,"
some one shouted, when there came
the rush of a tall, sinewy form, whose
impetus knocked the rioters right and
left.
There was a flash Of glittering steel,
as LATTE struck the hand of a man
applying the match, and spout of
blood eXtinguished the flame as the
match fell to the ground.
Take that, for a warning, you mu-
tinous scoundrels, who seek to MUIR
der unarmed men!" shouted voice
trembling with rage such as was rare
ly manifested. 'Disperse, you cow
ards, before | count five, or you shall
be riddled of legs as we'll as hands. !"
The would-be murderers skunk away
and in ten minutes all was quiet as
though nothing untoward had hap
pened.
After sending Pierre, who was some
thing of a surgeon, to attend the man
he had wounded, LATTE demanded
from his sub-captains an explanation
of the mutiny.
Dominique-You stood silent and sui
len, leaving Beluche to tell the story.
This was to the effect that there
had been an unexpected rush from
outside: that the men in the stOckade
had, at the outset, tried the power OF
persuasion, accompanied by that OF
fists, but were preparing, as hidden,
by both Pierre and Beluche, to fire
upon their comrades, when LATTE ap-
peared and put an end to the emeute.
Lafitte received the explanation in
cold silence, but with look which
warned Dominique-You as to what
measures would be taken in the event
of another outbreak; for few of the
iatters followers had been amongst
the other mutineers, who were mostly
Catalon's men.
LATTE, after Diminishing Beluche,
with orders to keep sharp lookout,
and summon him instantly, should
those outside show themselves at the
gate, unlocked the door of his house,
and soon stood in the presence OF his
wondering visitors.
When LATTE entered, both officers
were seated. facing the door. But
they rose and stood for moment,

DUKE DID NOT LAUGH LAST.
Practical Joke Is Not So Funny as 1t
Had Seemed.

Duke Carl of Wurtemberg was very
fond of practical jokes in his younger
days. Once he called at farmhouse
and asked the farmers wife, who was
churning, for a glass of milk. She did
not know her visitor, but went away
to fetch the milk, when the Duke
seized a cat which was lying near ana
threw it, with ducat, into the churn.
When the old woman returned he
drank the milk and walked away.
A year later the same prince entered
the house in a different dress, and
again asked for glass of milk, and in
CURED whether someone hadn't once
secreted cat in her churn. The farm
ers wife laughed, and said:
ooh, yes; and l wouldn't mind him
doing it again at the same price.
What did you do with the butter
you were churning them

they take all my stuff

managers of that reformatory insti-

to make the inmates wear bright yell

THE MOSES BUILDING
IT WILL NOT BE RAISED TO TEN
 STORIES.
The New Owner, MT. Vandiver, Aban- dons His Plan of Improvement
 Upon the Advice of Architects.

The Moses building, purchased some time ago by W. F. Vandiver. will not be remodeIed and raised to a ten story office building as contemplated by MT. Vandiver at the time he purchased the property.
 In making this announcement yes terday MT. Vandiver expressed dsap- pointment that he would not be able to solve the office building problem for Montgomery as he intended when he purchased the Moses building. He has been advised by architects who made a detailed inspection of the six story building that it will be a structural impossibility to increase the height of the building to ten stories; that two additional stories Is all that structu Sl safety will allow.
 After carefully considering the mat ter" said MT. Vandiver. T have reached the conclusion that it would not be a good investment to build only two additional stories to the building, thereby inconvencing the tenants Two stories would not give us but twenty new rooms and since we cannot put on four stories and make it a handsome office building the plan has been aban- doned as much as I regret it."
 Mir. Vandiver said that on October 1st 1906 the interior of the Moses building would be thoroughly improved. The leases on the ground floor will not allow the Improvements until that time.
 With the interior Improvements the building will be equipped with modern elevators. mail chutes and other up to date office building accomodations

Umpire Burke Certines That Pretsels Have One More to Their Credit
 -Whistler's Team May Return.

While Athletic Park was unoccupied yesterday Montgomery has another game in the won column this morning and Memphis has another in the lost column.
 The Memphis team had been in- structed Wednesday night to remain in Montgomery and play here Thurs day. Friday and Saturday, yet in direct violation of this order Manager Whist Ter of Memphis yesterday morning left with his team for Memphis. President Kavanaugh has wired Whistler to re- turn to Montgomery but whether he will do SO or not remains to be seen. Yesterdays game was forfeited to Montgomery as will be today's and to- morrow's games unless the Egyptians return to Montgomery. It is suspect ed that 1t was more a case Of not wanting to get up against the Climb CTS any more than yellow fever fright that made Whistler get out of Mont gomery.
 The ofiicfal announ cement of Umpire Burke is as follows:
