1T was late in sultry, almost breeze

and his associates, dropped anchor in
the harbor Of Fort Royal. Martinique.
She hal but single passenger if
such he could be termed; for it was

a mission which will be referred to
more particularly later on, and who
purpose of meeting Laro, whom he ex-
pected to find waiting at Fort Royal.
His search proved unavailing, al
though he ascertained that Laro had
been seen in the town; and after WIS.,
iting several of the places where he
was liable to be found, LATTE went
to an inn not far from the wharves,
and ordered supper.
Here he sat enjoying the GOODNESS,
while he slipped and smoked, when
there came to his ears the sound Of
voice whose mellow resonance
thrilled him strangely, sending his
thoughts whirling into the past.
The air was yet vibrating with the
hearty tones as the speaker came
through the door; and lamp hanging
from the ceiling of the balcony
flashed it's rays into the face of Gre
loire
The recognition was not mutual;
for Greloire, after careless glance
at the younger man, crossed the bal
cony and seated himself near the rail.
LATTE was, for the moment, unde-
cided as to what to do,-whether to
reveal his identity, and risk hearing
whatever comments Greloire might
make upon a name and career which
already had become known in two
continents, or to remain silent, and
thus forego this unlooked-for oppor-
tunity for knowing something definite
in regard to the man who was still
lear to him-he who was now Emper-
or of France.
But all his indecis;on was soon rout-

close to him, and come to life, as 1t

ent seemed to animate the dead past;
the reality of Greloire gave actual life
to the ideal Napoleon.
Pardon, monsieur" he said bowling
slightly as Greloire looked up; but
think l had the pleasure of meeting
monsieur many years ago, in France
"Ah," said Greloire, as he turned to
the speaker. MAY l ask when?"
Long ago in Languedoc, and Tou-
Ien,'' replied LATTE, fixing his black
eyes upon Greloires face. I'VE met at
LIE Chen Heureux, in Toulon; and the
last time l saw you was at the Con-
vent of St. Sulpice, where you were
recovering from wounds in the final
assault upon the CITY,"

What means all this, monsieur? Can
1t be possible that you are Jean La

The word was cut short by flash
from the young mans eyes as sabe-
stroke might lop off the hand raised
for blow.
1.-THE first is the name by which
was known in Toulon, and my friends
still use it. The second is title
given to me by my enemies, and which
/ do not recognize as appropriate"
He spoke with stern composure, and
with a dignity well becoming his tall,
straight figure and refined face, while
Greloire stared at him in silent aston
ishment.
(Which of the two, monsieur do you
prefer to use?" Lafitte added, now
taking a step backward, but not re-
moving his eyes from Greloire.

NEW YORK, July 27.-To upward
swing continued in the market this
morning. The market was full Of
buying at the opening, and active

rapidly during the first half hour. The
most important trading was in U. s.

for good people, who should be in a

The strength of the steel issues leads
to the belief that there may be some

influence on sentiment. Where q
