Women are to no longer wear the
peculiarly low corset. They owe the
change to the Marie Antoinette fash
ions. The straight. high stomacher
front is required to give these bodices
the straight line required from the
bust line to the deep point. Though
built on Queen Anne lines. these cor
sets are luxurious. with no torturing
wood and iron. such as that monarch
and her ladies endured. The straight
front effect is thus retained. only 1t is
elongated. And there are the support
ers. 1t is said that an old corset OF
the day of Queen Anne actually shows
traces of these same supporters.

mapping out for himself, would be her
place?
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.
It was the evening of Lafitte's ar
rival. He and Pierre were alone to-
gether. and, being unable to count up
on unlimited privacy. they seated
themselves for a full talk and compar-
ison of notes,-Jean to give Pierre the
particulars of his recent trip, and to
hear from him an account of the hap
penings at Barataria and New Orleans.
II wish / might have been with you
in Toulon." Pierre said. with what
sounded like sigh. 81 have longing

Before you die!" repeated Jean,
a slight touch of testiness in his tone.
'sWhy do you talk thus? One would
think you were three-score. at least in
stead OF stalwart giant of half those
years." and he laughed, half-playfully,
half-deridingly.
There was no answering smile on
Pierre's face, which was again turned
to the fire. But after momentary
silence he said. abstractedly, as If
thinking aloud, 81 cannot give good
reason for 1t, but there has of late
been something like conviction grow
ing upon me that ! have not much
longer to live. Perhaps he
raised his eyes to Jeans wondering
face-''it is nothing more than that l
am homesick."
I'VE will wind up our affairs here
and go to France" declared Jean de-
cisively. Rouse myself, Pierre. and
speak no more in such fashion.

brought a gratined sparkle to the other

Before the week had ended the

sires-return to France. and assume

So back to Louisiana he sailed. with
his mind In n turmoil that gave un-
wonted austerity to his manner, and
awed his crew into much speculation.
The fever OF his first impulse hav-
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
TO 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
tho hope of wiping all stigma from his
name. offer these to the Governor of

This accomplished, he would return
to France. assume his fathers name
and rank, and stand ready to serve the
emperor.

From what Pierre told him that
night, Jean LATTE 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-
kah,"-a disaster that broke their pow
err and compelled the English to cease
reckoning upon them as alnes. And
after this signal victory Gen. Jackson
had been given command of the Sew

the State of Louisiana.

Improvement Association to Meet

A meeting of the St. Francis river improvement association has been called to meet May IS at Wynne, Ark. The purpose of the association is to improve the lands lying back of the Mississippi leeve within the St Fran cis valley and to increase the fall and render navigable throughout it's length the river itself. Lateral canals have aleardy been cut in some sections for the purpose of carrying off the sur face water into the river. It is pro- posed to deepen the channel of the river in places, to free it of snags and other impeding substances and to straighten some of its curves by means of canals. thereby diminishing the distance from source to mouth and correspondingly increasing the stream. It will more effectually drain the valley lands, thereby making 1t possible to raise good crops on a large area which is at present impractic- able for farming
