Orleans was TO be attacked as soon as
the English could concentrate a suf.
fcient force for that purpose: and
Gov. Claiborne had called session of
the legislature. besides taking all other
measures in his power toward raising
means for defense. But the legislators
were slow to cooperate with him and
the same malcontents whose scheming
had already wrought such harm to
Louisiana we're using all possible
means to neutralize the governors ef-
forts.
As LATTE listened 10 all this. he
congratulated himself anew that the
BLACK Petrol" lay anchored safely
before Grande Terre. He felt also that
no time could have been more aus
picious for making the offer he pro-
posed TO lay before the governor.-an
offer of service by himself and his
followers. in consideration OF pardon
for all past misdeeds. whether actual
or alleged.
When he voiced these thoughts and
plans to Pierre. the latter agreed un-
reseryedly; and both men were con-
ndeGt OF tEtlT dDllits 10 DDtd8u lnt dc-
quiescence of their followers.
But think you. jean" inquired the
more cautious Pierre. there is not
reason to doubt If Gov. Claiborne ac-
cept our offer? ! do not wish to damp
en- thy ardor; but we must remember
the threats he has made against the
Baratarians."
He surely win not make the mis-
take of refusing our services in such
an emergency-at time when every
man able to bear a gun will be sorely
reeaed in New Orleans" was Jeans
confident reply: and Pierre raised no
more doubts that night.
Among the other items of informa-
ton he had given tand which. al
though of slight interest to himself
were otherwise TO his listener), was
that Count de Cazeneau had. at La
Roche's invitation. closed his house in
New Orleans, and gone with his grand
daughter for visit to the formers

Roche had taken this occasion to per-
suade his ward, the Senorita Lazalie,
to Join his house party.

CHAPTER XIX.

Before the week had ended the
"Black Petre1' filed her sails for Bar
staria. with Greloire's parting words
of advice repeating themselves in La
ftte's ears
wind up your affairs in louisiana
mon ami. and do as the emperor de-
sires-return TO France. and assume
your own name and rank.
So back to Louisiana he sailed. with
his mind In turmoil that gave un-
wonted austerity to his manner. and
awed his crew into much speculation
The fever OF his first impulse hay-
ing now abated, he began to upbraid
himself for having left Pierre. and
wondered II anything evil might have
befallen his foster-brother Day by
day. as the BLACK Petrel' drew nearer
20 Barataria, he kept himself busy by
Querying as to what. If any. changes
would be found there. and as to what
progress the war had made.
Louisiana, and especially New Or
leans. must. in his judgment. be des-
tined TO bear a share in the conflict
even though this might not be until
the eleventh hour; for the possession
OF the Mississippi and its valley had
for many years. been a dream of Great
Britain's ambition.
Night and day. thinking matters
over he resolved that his next step
would be TO gather what he might OF
men and shipping and wealth. and. in
the hope Of wiping all stigma from his
name. offer these TO the Governor OF
Louisiana. for use in warning against
the English. And the possibility Of
this opportunity being afforded him
with its reward-a pardon for himself
and men. covering all past Offenses-
the rehabilitation Of himself before his
world. made his blood tingle.
This accomplished. he would return
10 France. assume his fathers name
and rank. and stand ready to serve the
emperor.

been faring all this time. and what.

Grand Canon Aerial Tramway.

The gigantic gorge OF the Grand

aerial tramway which will carry pas

The Latest Frog Story.

From Wilkesbarre. Pennsylvania,
comes the following: Mrs. Bridget
Mangan Of Minnoka. near here, has
coughed up two frogs and Is enjoying
relief after an illness OF several weeks.
Physicians are puzzled by her case.
Early In the spring she was attacked
by severe pains in the stomach which
would not yield TO any treatment. Six
days ago this pain was succeeded by a
steady and overpowering thirst. DR..
Haggerty, in the hope Of aiding her,
gave her an emetic and TO his surprise
she was relieved Of a small frog. Yes.
terday the thirst began again. He gave
her another emetic and this time a
frog four inches long was eyicted. She
has not had pain since.
Dr. Haegerty believes she swallowed
the frogs in drinking water when they
were tiny tadpoles. He will send the
frogs TO the New York Medical Uni
vers!ty.
