Flowers and Character.

That which surrounds us forms our
character. If we live in the midst Of
filth we cannot keep it secret. The
world turns its knowing eye on us,
looks beneath the surface, sees our
inner selves, our degraded minds and
our cold, cruel hearts.
II we live surrounded by the beau
ties of life the world knows, too. Our
hearts grow kind and sympathetic and
our thoughts high and pure.
We all know that this is true. Then
is it not our plain duty to surround
our little children with every lovable,
uplifting thing the world affords? Is
it not our duty to ourselves to sur
round ourselves with everything
which will refine our thoughts and
help to form within us an admirable
character? We owe 1t to our children
to ourselves and to society.
Probably the purest and most beau
tiful things on earth are flowers Can
YOU not imagine a character grown In
the midst Of garden of flowers

CHAPTER XXI.

At sunrise change had taken place
in the appearance of things about the
stockade. Before the now opened
gates a Drawn Irishman, one of Be
luches trusted followers fully armed,
paced to and fro, and Lopez stood
guard before the locked doors of La
titte's house.
AS Pierre, Jean and the two under
captains were finishing breakfast, a
messenger came to tell the former
that the Star of the Gulf had come
to anchor in the harbor, and was fly
ing signal for his presence on board.
ut is Zendanner, from Mexico, at
last" he said, glancing at Jean, and
| am glad to know of his safe arrival.
He should have been in week ago.
"Will you go, or shall l." Pierre ask
ed, as Jean remained silent.
The latter, like Pierre, knowing the
full meaning of the signal, replied that
he would go aboard, and leaving
Pierre in charge of matters at the
stockade, he teok his way to the har-
Dor.
Returning in an hours time, he was
coming up the path from the beach
when he heard unmistakable sounds
of tumult, followed by the roar OF the
gun mounted upon a pivot in front of
his own house, as protection against
possible disturbances.
Pierre, Beluche and Dominique You
were standing upon the steps of the
house, shouting angrily at the rioterr
for such they were, who, armed, and
filled with murderous lust, crowded
before them, demanding "The two
English spies!"
ITO be continued.)
The Republican. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1903-1909, 1906-07-31

Beluche replied slowly, 81 say, with
out reserve. that l am with you in
everything that is for America as
against England, and know that my
men will be with me"
AYE" added Catalon, I'VE can all
fight with a better stomach for Gov
ernor Claiborne than for King
George"
And what If Governor Claiborne

for him."
The question was from Pierre, who
had left his chair and was knocking
the ashes from his pipe into the fire.
place.
He cannot afford to refuse u.s." de-
clared Beluche, with unusual ANNA
ton, before Jean could speak. And
Not he," exclaimed Catalon and
Dominique-You, speaking as with a
single voice.
This. then, is our course" said La
fitte, as if Pierre's question had been
fifty answered, and which, for the
present, must be kept strictly to our
selves, as our men need not be told
for several days to come. Meanwhile,

yer and McWillams, as | find it best
to do. And, Catalon, remember, you
and Dominique see to it that the men
are kept quiet, and that nothing oc-
ours to prevent my returning the two
officers safely to their boat"
Several times during the night Jean
and Pierre, singly or together, went
outside to reconnoitre, but the hours
passed without disturbance.
Once while Jean was pacing up and
down beneath the bright stars with
the hounds for company, the sound
of "a far-off VOLTS cry changed, as
would have the blast of trumpet,
the current of his thoughts.
Was it really coming, and so near
as it seemed-the day for which he
had longed, holding for him the
chance Of redeeming himself in the
estimation Of the Island Rose? And
were not events seeming to shape for
enabling him to fulfil the promise
made upon Elba--that he would erase
the stigma from the name Of Lafitte
in Louisiana?
A thrill of hope made new life
spring within him, and, with an un
voiced prayer, he lifted his wilful fac$
to the heavens, from whence ther
seemed to descend a strange peace

When they were all seated, Latte,
in low tone, and to the accompani-
ment of occasional angry comments
and imprecations, read the two papers,
emitting, however all mention of the
money offered to himself.
Nov, tell us, Captain Lafitte," spoke
up Beluche, who like Pierre, had been
smoking contemplatively apparently
revolving what had been read, tell us
what you advise as the cause to be
pursued. But, first of all, | declare
that never will | take up arms for

He glanced around the circle, his
eyes resting on Catalon and Domi-

much to my taste" replied the latter,

CHAPTER XXI.

Having emerged from the building,
LATTE saw, as he was locking the
door, that many of his men, armed
with guns, had gathered within the
stockade, the greater number Of them
standing around another loghouse at
the farthermost end, where two of his
sub-captains, Beluche and Dominique
Yoc, had their quarters.
He went to the end of the stockade,
and Lot seeing Pierre amongst the
men gathered there, asked if anyone
knew of the latters whereabouts.
HE was outside, my captain, when
last | saw him. He was sitting on the
bluff, smoking, and swearing that the
men should do no harm to that boat
load of beauties lying off shore" re-
piled Dominique-You, his swarthy face
wrinkling with a grin.
The shadows were falling fast, and
the dampening air was melodious
with the notes of the mocking-bi
that filled the trees about the fort,
while faint but sweet came other
uuIluS VOlCSS HUH lut ucCpSl WOouO,
mtagling with the occasional cry of
an owl, or the reterative note of a
whippoorwill; and now and then the
manisscal scream of loon came from
the sedges
On the edge of the bluff was Pierre,
a gun across his knees, and looking
like seNtinel on guard except that
he was stretched upon the ground
smoking.
Pierre's head turned quickly at the
sound of footsteps behind him, and he
sprang upright as Jean SAID, I'VE
must row Tut there, and send those
fellows back to their ship. The Off
GERS will remain here for the night.
Nothing Slore was said until small
boat had been pushed off. Jean sat in
the stern, and Pierre, laying his gun
across the seat, picked up the oars and
began to row with long, steady strokes
that sent the light craft speeding out
toward the English boat, showing
black in the gathering dusk.
Jean now tied handkerchief to
an extra oa1 and raised it, making a
white futteI in the shadows.

plenty of money, but undoubtedly

as such Charming, inexpensive little

all-over embroidery, the skirt short
affair gathered into the belt. The
waist was a round girlish blouse with
sleeves just a puff above the elbow,
very like those seen in the old-fash-
toned pictures of Empire ladies'; the

gold figures scattered over it. The
color scheme was lovely, the dress

A short pause succeeded then
surly Aye, aye" came across the
water, and the rowing stopped, just as
a fiery thread of the rising moon was
lifting above the sea.
Pierre soon brought his boat along
side the other one, and Jean, laying
hand on its gunwale, inquired, Who
is in command here?"
Il am, sir" replied one of the men,
rising SO that his powerful form stood
out above the others. I'm bo's'n OF

Eight oars touched the water as one,
and the English boat went her way
Pierre soon began to row more slow

their recent talk" Heard you ever OF

Not l." growled Pierre. Even La

Jean, then what is it to be, or did they
not do us the honor of doubling our &C
ceptance?'

English; our ships and property con-
fiscated; and you and l. together with
our men, put to death as pirates, who

Britain by our seizure of Spanish yes

"So!" But Pierre's laugh had little
of mirth in it. Louisiana offers a
price for your head, and England
threatens to hang you if you will not

she may have Louisiana by the throat

Pierre inquired softly, turning hs
head In order to make sure Of the
other boats exact position, while his
powerful arms worked with the
smoothness of a piston-rod.
Indeed, yes. They offer me the
rank of captain in the English navy,
and thirty thousand dollars in cash"
Pierre gave low whistle.
"And the price of all this honor and
wealth." he asked, taking another
backward glance.
Pull a bit more to larboard; we
will stop at easy hailing distance, "
said Jean, after turning halfway in
his seat. Then, in an entirely diff
ferent tone, one of concentrated rage,
"The price is that we are to sell our
selves to the English, and lead them,
NV our own paths and waterways, SO
that they may fall unexpectedly upon
New Orleans, and burn the city, after
pillaging 1t. They are also to buy the
slaves with promised freedom, and
then add to the ruin by an insured
ton"
Pierre, although of not SO fine a
mould as Jean, shared the latter's dis

in strong language. But he now ut
tered terrible oath.
This was his only comment; and II
was followed by silence, until Jean
announced Here we are; and wei

He sent a challenging shout over
the water. 1t was answered at once
