'And the emperor" said Pierre ir-
releyantly; ito think of his keeping

"Yet it was like him to do such
thing" asserted Jean, with vibrant
tone and glowing face. "Ah, if but he

From what Pierre told him that
night. Jean Lafitte knew, as clearly
as though he had remained at Bara-
taria, all that had transpired since his
departure.
This had been shortly after Gen.
Andrew Jackson defeated the Creek
Indians at the battle called "Tohope-
kan, disaster that broke their pow
er, and compelled the English to cease
reckoning upon them as allies. And
after this signal victory Gen. Jackson
had been given command of the Sew
enth military district. which included
the State of Louisiana.
1t was now very evident that New
Orleans was to be attacked as soon as
the English could concentrate a suf-
ficient 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'co-operate with him; and
the same malcontents whose scheming
had already wrought such harm to
Louisiana were using all possible
means to neutralize the governors eff
forts.
AS LATTE listened to all this, he
congratulated himself anew that the

before Grande Terre. He felt also that

posed to lay before the goyernor.-an

or alleged.
When he voiced these thoughts and
plans to Pierre, the latter agreed un-

mapping out for himself, would be her

The remembrance Of the last time
he had seen her, with her girlish face
and form manifesting such shrinking
terror of him, had its sorrow now
lightened. by the hope, so strong in his
heart, that he would be able to redeem
himself in her estimation.
The Black Petrel," keeping sharp
lookout for English vessels, stole into
the Gulf Of Mexico, and sped across it.
Then, turning to the east and north,
Lafitte made for the western shore of
Grande Terre and the harbor Of Bara-
taria, Where, in due time, the brigan-
tine dropped anchor.
1t was the evening Of Lafitte's ar
rival. He end Pierre were alone to-
gether, and, being unable to count up
on unlimited privacy, they seated
themselves for full talk and compar-

Scarcely had the boys realized this

upon rough bench and covered by n

men. women and children whom fire

COFFEE CONGESTION.
Causes a Variety of Ais.

A happy old lady in Wisconsin says:
During the time was a coffee
drinker I was subject to sick head
aches, recurring every two or three
weeks, and sometimes lasting two or
three days, totally uniting me for
anything.
To this affliction was added, some
years ago, a trouble with my heart
that was very painful, accompanied by
a smothering sensation and faintness.
l would be unable to lie down, but
was compelled to sit gasping for
breath, until was perfectly exhausted.
Dyspepsia, also, a few years ago,
came to make life harder to bear. 1
took all sorts of patent medicines as
of them helped me for amy length of
time.
THE doctors frequently told me that
coffee was not good for me, but with
out coffee 1 felt as if had no break
fast. l finally decided about two
years ago to abandon the use of coffee
entirely, and as had read great deal
about Postum Food Coffee, l conclud-
ed to try that for breakfast bever-
age.
Il liked the taste of it and was par
ticularly pleased to notice that it did
not come up as coffee used to. I
had only hoped that the Postum Food
Coffee would help my digestion, but
l soon found that it was doing much
more than that. The bad spells with
my heart grew less and less frequent,
and finally ceased altogether, and I
have not had an attack of sick head
ache for more than a year. My diges-
ton is good, too. and l am thankful
that I am once more healthy woman.
know my wonderful restoration to
health came from quitting coffee and
using Postum Food Coffee" Name

Mich.
There's a, reason" and it is this:
Coffee has direction action on the
liver with some people, and causes
partial congestion of that organ, pre-
venting the natural outlet of the Sc
cretions. Then follows biliousness, sal
low skin, headaches, constipation and
finally a change of the blood corpus
