from his hand. came upon a cloaked

Holding his lantern lower to see

Z grave. left Shapiro TO look after the
prisoner, and drew Barbe aside in or
der to question here more closely.
He was, after hearing what she had
10 say, convinced that she was not
mistaken in her statement. although
there were no papers-nothing in the
way of further Standardization
upon the dead man.
Barbe acquiesced readily in Laftte's
decision that Rose de Cazeneau
should never be told the truth.
Great was the disgust of Shapiro
and the two men who returned with
Baptistine when they found that it
was Lafitte's wish to bury the Eng
lishman, as we'll as Zeney. Even Bap-
tistine's black brows went up in sur
prised disapproval which he wisely
refrained from putting into words.
The dead were soon laid in the
hastily prepared graves; the earth
was shoveled over them, and some
pieces of fallen trees placed above. to

In the sunset-bathed clearing, Bap-
tistine stood near LATTE as the latter
gave Shapiro some parting orders.
He was to take the English sailor to
the neighborhood of La Tetes des
Faux, and let him find his way from
that point to his comrades.
1t was comparatively early when La
itte's party, weary from the excite
ment of the day and the fatigue of
their long march through the woods,
eetook themselves gratefully to such
accommodations as Baptistine's small
craft afforded for rest and sleep.
The night had closed in darkly as

starlight, made DINNER by the wall

ERRORS ABOUT THE WHITE

To the Editor

To the Editor:
/ noticed somewhere recently
would not say positively that It was in
your columns-an article on the White
House which contained several mis-
statements.
In the first place II was stated the
White House was first occupied in
1909 and that its first occupant was
President Madison. The fact is, its
first occupant was President Adams.
who took up his residence there In
1900
The original mansion was begun in
1892 In 1914 II was burned by the
British and rebuilt in 1918.
Another of the errors in the article
referred to was the statement that
ready-prepared paint is used on the
White House TO make IL beautifully
white.
noticed this especially because ]
have used considerable paint myself
and wondered that canned" paint
should be used on such an important
building when all painters know that
pure white lead and linseed oil make
the best paint.
II SO happened also that l knew
white lead and linseed oil-not ready
mixed paint-were used on the White
House, because / had just read book
let published by firm OF ready-mixed
paint manufacturers who also manu-
facture pure white lead. In that book
the manufacturers admitted that for
the White House nothing but tho
best and purest of paint could be
used" and said that their pure white
lead had been selected.
Above all people. those who attempt
to write on historical subjects should
give US facts, even II it is only date
or a statement about wood, or brick.
or paint, OF other building material.
