1t was the Island Rose; and the
song was one her mother had taught
heroine LATTE had heard the girl
sing during their journey from the
Choctaw country.
"Mademoiselle Rose" he said,
speaking very softly, as the sweet
voice died away, breathing the final
words like sigh from a breaking
heart.
"Who is it-what do you wish?" she
inquired timidly, and not a little
startled.
1T is I, mademoiselle. Do you not
remember me?'
"Ah!"
It was a cry of joy; and two small
hands, white as her snowy draperies,
were held out to him.
1T is my Captain Jean. And oh,
how glad am to see you!"

Were you not happy, ma'm'selle?"
She moved uneasily, and her head
dropped; but she did not reply.
Tell me, little Island Rose, were
you not happy?" he asked again, TAX

| who brought you here-I, who loved
and revered your mother. And must

Hard on Foreigners in Mexico.

"Once while sojourning in the City
Of Mexico I happened to call upon a
friend at one of the principal hotels Of
that capital" said Representative
Southland Of Ohio.
while In his room | noticed very
fine revolver, and, making some COM
ment upon 1t, he picked 1t up and be-
gan to explain how, although it was of
single action, he could fire it as fast
as though 1t were double action. In
some way his hand struck the ham,
mer, causing the weapon to explode.
In second my friend turned deathly
pale and became so agitated that he
could scarcely speak.
Having noticed that the bullet
struck rug and took downward
course, I didn't see and cause for ex-
element, and, lifting up the rug
showed him where the lead took
Judgement. He became calm pretty
soon, and then he explained his agita-
ton. Had that bullet gone into the

A tale would be quite enough and

other stuff, parsing and ALL and
started on the tale. 1t was easy to

the tales I've read have been about

soon got 1t done. 1t was rather a
rush to get 1t copied by post time, but

editor in whose paper | wished 1t to
appear, and then waited for him to
send me the check.

coast Of Louisiana, runs parallel with
the mainland; and at its western end
is secure harbor, reached by the
Great Pass of Barataria, whose water

people from all parts of Louisiana
came hither to purchase them, with
no apparent attempt or desire to con-
ceal the object of their mission.

house, of which, however, the latter
was nominal master.

WRITTEN BY MARSHAL BLUcHER
Interesting Letter From Great Soldier
to His Wife,

W TV'o NN'Cs
There has just been discovered in
the family archives of landed pro-
prietor in Mecklenburg a hitherto I'M
published letter written by the cele-
brated Marshal Butcher to his wife
on the eve of the Battle of Waterloo.
The letter is couched in the unique
style and spelling peculiar to the old
soldier, which, however, are partly
lost in the following translation from
the German:
"Comprenne, June II, 1915.
Here | sit in the room in which
Mary Louisa spent her bridal night.

beautiful than Comprenne. What a
