edge of both sports and introduce the
new game of water basket ball. Such
a game has just been invented by mem
bers of the Y. NJ. C, A. around Chicago.

would indicate that it has proven
big success.

StructOr for the Central Y NJ. c. A of
Chicago, is responsible for the sport and
has already form ed city league among
the Chicago association to play the
game The game should prove a popu-

swimmers are numerous.

scarlet under.lip was caught fiercely
between the white teeth, as she saw
LATTE reach out one hand to clasp
that of his companion, while with the
other he cleared bush from the path.
Then they moved on, and were shut
from sight by the trees.
"Aha thought SOL" the Spanish
girl said to herself, the last word end
ing in a sigh, as she turned away and
began pacing the floor.
81 hate him, and ought to hate her.
Hate her? No, | cannot do that, my
sweet Rose. You are not responsible
for having the same fever that once
possessed me- And who could help
loving you? AS for him, he long ago
gave me to understand plainly that |
might claim nothing more than friend
ship from him.
She laughed bitterly as that last
day on the Barra de Hero rose be-
fore her, bringing with it an increase
of color to her cheeks at thought OF
her past lack of maidenliness.
Meanwhile Rose de Cazeneau stood
with LATTE beside what seemed
from the wooden cross marking ito
be a grave. 1t was long, narrow
mound, already rich with brilliant
wood-growths; and the forest shut 1t
away from sight of the cabins.
Obeying silently the motion OF his
hand, she seated herself upon a fall
en- tree, where the moss, thick as a
rug. made a covering soft as velvet.
LATTE then sat down upon the ground
before her-with his back against the
mound, the cross making rest for his
barred head.

my brother; and never was a brother
more true of heart or lovable than he
although not drop OF kindred blood
ran in our veins"
The listening girls amazement was
manifest not only in her face, but in
her voice, as she exclaimed, What,
Pierre LATTE not your brother, Cap
tain Jean?"
No-nor any blood relation what
ever. But of this | will tell you pres.
emily. What | wish to say now is,
that he talked to me of you, little
Rose, just before he died. your name
was the last that came from his lips. -
'Mine?" she said in surprise. Il
spoke to him only once, Captain Jean,
and then it was but few words, when
he came to the house, seeking grand
pere."
Yes; but he saw you more than
once, even if you did not know it
do not remember it, And once was
sufficient for what | mean"
He sighed, and gave his head an up
ward toss, as if to throw off the
thoughts begotten by his allusion to
Pferre's death; and then, as if read
ing from book, he told her of the
Languedoc home, where he and Pierre
had spent their childhood; of his
father, Monsieur lie Baron; of Ma
poleon, the young officer of his boyish
idolatry. He told of Margot, and
Pere Huot-of all the persons connect
ed with his life.
Rose listened intently, her face re-
lecting the feelings and emotions
aroused by Latitte's story; and, more
than once, a mist of tears dimmed the
violet eyes, perhaps a moment before
filled with indignation.
He said little in regard to his life
with Laro, but told fully of the meet
ing with Greloire at Martinique,
which had aroused his better self.
At this, small hand stole from its
fellows clasp, and was held out to
him. He took it, and pressed his lips
to the soft fingers. Then, after re-
leasing it gently, he went on.
He told of his visit to Elba; of the

interview with Napoleon; OF the prom
Use he had made, and his efforts to full
fill it; of his temporary loss of resolu-
ton after the descent upon Barataria,
and of its full renewal at Pierre's
DEATH
AS he described that scene in the
moonlit cell, her tears flowed freely;
and at sight of them strange smile
touched Lafittes lips.
"Ah, my Pierre" he murmured,
bending to lay his face against the
wood-fowers upon his foster-brother's
grave, other eyes than thy Jeans
can weep for thee!"
AS he raised his head Rose de Gaze
neau stretched out both hands to him.

she sobbed, how could l nave had
such hard, wicked thoughts of you? 1t
surely was because | never knew you
until now"
She looked down into his face, filed
with a light such as the face of Jean
LATTE had never before shown.
DO you know me now, little Rose?
If so, then it is WELL for that is what
| wished should be before | depart
forever from Louisiana
Depart forever from louisiana"
she repeated; and the dismay in her
voice made his heart leap.
Would you care-would you miss
me?" And his clasp frightened upon
her imprisoned hands.

said, seeking to look under the lashes
that swept her cheeks, when my

CHAPTER XXI.

Later in the day, Madame Riefet
who had been attacked by a nervous
headache, was lying down in one of
the bedrooms on the lower floor, and
Lazalie sat reading aloud to her, the
Spanish girls rich voice being the
only sound to break the stiffness of
the cabin, where in the open doorway
Rose de CaZeneau sat lstlessly, her
chp in her palms, and her eyes stray
ingTto the primitive out-of-door world
around her.
So wrapped was she in dreams as
not to know that Lafitte had come
from Scipio's domain, and through the
room back of her, until, standing
above her, he asked gently, and with
a smile Are you performing guard

countersign before | can pass out?"
A vivid flush mantled her cheeks

as If from impulse he took her hand.

tremor sounding in his voice, 81 must,

is not far from here-only little way
through the woods. Will you come
with me and listen to my story?"
Lifting her eyes to his, she saw such
an impressive solemnity in their dark
depths that something impelled her to
say, in the submissive tone of an
obedient child, Eyes, Captain Jean,
will come with you"
AS the man and girl took their way
side by side, Lazalie appeared in the
doorway. Her eyes blazed, and her

A PEuoKY CATTLE WOMAN

Forty years ago William II. Day, a
pioneer from Tennessee, purchased
from the state of. texas $4,000 acres of
land in Coleman. county for SO cents an
acre. He exhausted all his capital in
the purchase and in the erection of
ranch headquarters. When he died he
left his widow an, embarrassing legacy
Of debts and complications. i
Later Mrs. Day married Joseph G..
Lea, a Colorado ranchman; but, he did
not live long enough to help her extri-
cate the estate.
Thereupon Mrs: Lea took up the
problem herself She came to the con-
clusion. that it would be more profitable
to break up the vast tracts into farms
than to continue it as a cattle pasture.
She could not. lease the land for graz
ing at more than 80 cents an acre, but
for agricultural purposes could get $40,
or more, an acre.
This determination met with bitter
opposition on the part OF the cattlemen
They had been accustomed to having
their herds range at will over the
plains. When Mrs. Lea constructed wire
fences about her land, cattlemen cut
them.
Long and bitter was the fight, but
the plucky woman maintained her
rights and won. Some of her farms
she sold to settlers, others she rented
on shares. Within two years she had
disposed of 10000 acres to III families
at an average price Of $3.50 an acre.
Not only this, but Mrs. Lea has
established two towns and Lea:
day which are now fourishing.
