who had drawn near to cape curiously
at him, after the manner of their kind,
proceeded to converse in a way evil
IDENTIFY intended to attract his atten-
ton.
Instinct, rather than any sound,
made Nato realize that presence was
near him; and glancing over his Shout
der, he saw girlish, Whitehead form
standing in the doorway through
which Lafitte had passed few min
utes before. Presently he saw one of
her little hands go to her side, as if
she had been startled, or was expert
encing some strong emotion; and she
stood with Bonded head, as if listen
ing.
Nato was still staring at the girl
when she started impetuously, and
went hurriedly down the hallway.
Led by curiosity, the boy jumped to
his feet, and saw her descend the
steps of the back gallery, and go
swiftly into the woods, which seemed
to swallow up the snowy form and
glittering hair-swallow them so sud-
denly as to leave in the boys supersti-
tious mind an uncomfortable sugges-
ton that she was not real flesh and
blood, but "sperit," or perhaps a
second voudoo priestess.
Within the room, near whose open
door the girl had stood, LATTE and
De Cazeneau were having serious
conversation.
Following the custom of the time,
De Cazeneau had reached out to ring
a bell for refreshments, when LATTE,
with an expressive gesture, stayed his
hand.

PoIiteness Pays.

Suddenly the man fell. He was a
dignified person, but as he reached a
sleety corner his feet, set down with
precision, failed to stay set. They
flew so high, and the result was so
abrupt, that as the man hit the walk
in sitting posture observers expected
to see a spine protrude from the top
of his hat.
Two youths had seen the episode.
One was bad youth, and unwise.
He laughed. The other was good
youth, who knew thing or two. He
fastened to pick up the fallen man.
Thank you" said the man. 81 am
a childless millionaire, looking for an
heir. You're it. Meantime take this
roll and blow yourself. Only one con-
dition is attached. Don't spend cent
on that laughing jackass who is with
you"
Handing over a $4,000 bundle, and
giving his hotel address, the man went
his way.
The moral of this is so obvious that
the reader unable to discern it isn't
worth bothering Washington
Times.
Shoshone journal. [volume] (Shoshone, Idaho) 1884-1931, 1906-05-18

even should the occasion or necessity
arise.
Her childish trust in him became de-
stroyed; he saw her shrink from him
in terror and adherence. And this
awakened in him the knowledge that
the-as he upposed-paternal love he
had been cherishing for the child OF
her who had always been his ideal, was
not the affection of father for his
daughter, but the love of man for
q woman.
The bitterest potion he had ever
swallowed was now working in his
veins. Yet no one would have sus-
pected this, as he went his way, and
for a time with greater recklessness
than before, although the rumor men
toned by Pierre had now become
fact, inasmuch as the governor of Lou
isiana had issued a proclamation offer
ing a reward for Lafitte's apprehen-
sion.
This had come about by reason of a
melee in the bayou Lafourche, and
which proved to be the chip which
kindled to a blaze the long-smoulder-
ing fire of wrath against the Bara-
tarians.
When the information was brought
to LATTE, accompanied by a copy Of
the proclamation, he had, without de-
lay, taken a pinnace and set out for
the extreme southerly side of Grande
Terre, upon which was the Count de
Cazeneau's abode.
At the sound of Laftte's feet upon
the steps, woman's weazened face,
wrinkled and scowling, its coffee-hue
contrasting with wisps Of gray, wiry
wool showing from beneath bright
colored bandanna, was projected from
one of the numerous doors opening
from the hallway into various rooms
in the two wings of the building.

CHAPTER XIV.

After the death of Laro a new and
somewhat better order of things pre-
vailed among the so-called Pirates of
the Gulf"
Now under the direct leadership of
LATTE alone, and with better oppor-
tunities for knowing his chivalrous ma
ture, the larger body of them followed
unquestioningly his more merciful and
less lawless practices; and not few
Of the men actually relished the
changed conditions in which they
found themselves
Garonne, who had been given a YES
sci of his own, had gathered to him
self the most unregenerate of Laro's
followers, and entered upon career
in which he observed the same meth
DDS as his former commander, with
the result that he was finally brought
to execution, together with most of
bis crew, in a South American port.
Life at the Ursuline convent was,
.or many months, a burden to Lazalie,
and her whims and caprices made it
1ut little less so to the mother SUI
lively remembrance of many generous
hvors from Lafitte, felt that they
must bear patiently with the charge
he had left in their keeping.
La Roche, as her banker and man
Of business, came often to see his
fair client, and ended by falling in
love with her-a fact he was wise
enough to keep to himself. And, later
on, he obtained Lafitte's consent to
her removal from the convent and
taking a house of her own, where,
with Ma'am Brigida and retinue of
slaves, the high-strung beauty seemed
more contented
When the summer of 1872 had
brought the Cazeneau household to
their Barataria home, there befell
something which struck LATTE with
a new despair, and took from him all
hope of ever being asked to render
little Roselle the smallest service,

Happy? How could wild bird be
happy in cage, even if its bars were

She was about to continue, but La
fitte, as if not caring to pursue the
subject, asked, "Is your master here?"
Zeney nodded, and pointed to a
closed door near them, ''He is in there,
and alone"
LATTE, turning from her, knocked
at the door, and De Cazeneau's voice
answered, "Entrez."
This the former did, leaving the
door ajar.
Nato, now a tall, wiry lad of six
teen, and devoted, body and soul, to
his master, was the only one to ac-
company him to Grande Terre. He
had seated himself upon the steps,
but too far away to catch the con-
versation between Lafitte and Zeney,
even had they spoken in a language
he understood.
But he watched them with curious
eyes, having often heard of Zeney;
and her reputed powers served to
make her an object of awe and aver
sion to him, as to most of his class.
1t was, therefore, with sigh of re-
lief that he saw her disappear, after
his master had gone inside.
He remained sitting on the steps,

palms, while group Of young negroes
