What is it?-let me try" she re-
piled, her thoughts-as he intended
they should be-diyerted.
Il wonder if there are enough
sticks in this small bauble," he con-
tinued not seeming to have heard
her; and bending his face closer he
counted them.
"One, two, three, four-yes, here
are the eight, and five to spare, for
all the fan is such tiny one
Then, having placed it in her hand,
he added, speaking more softly,
There are the eight sticks, little
Rose Can you read what they say to
you from me?"
The girl sat with Bonded head, her
eyes fixed on the open fan she could
see but indstinctly
Can you read it," he whispered,
lowering his face to look into hers
and again possessing himself of her
hand.
At the sound of his voice. with his
lips so close that his breath stirred
her hair-at the thrill of his touch
at the mere realization of their being
alone together, strange exultatlon
possessed the girl, lifting her spirit
from it's bodily enthrallment; and
half-swooning, yet acutely sensible
she read as surely as though he had
uttered them, mo words may say how

| 1t was as if an angel voice spoke to
her inner senses; and dropping the
| fan into her lap, she covered her face
with her hands.
Can you read it?' he whispered
once more, feeling that she was quiv
ering, as from a nervous chill.
NO" she murmured family; but
adding, woman-like, and in stronger
| tone, Tell me-"
He laughed, and rose to his feet
The laugh came from his exulting
heart; and extending his hands to her
he said, with a new decision of man
ner, "Come, little Rose, this is very
! delightful but not at all good for you

DU BIOUS
About What Her Husband Would Say.

A Mich. woman tried Postum Food
Coffee because ordinary coffee dis
agreed with her and her husband. She
writes:
ely husband was sick for three
years with catarrh of the bladder, and
palpitation of the heart, caused by
coffee. Was unable to work at all
and in bed part of the time.
Il had stomach trouble, was weak
and fretful so | could not attend to
my housework-both of US using cof-
fee all the time, and realizing 1t was
harmful.
"One morning the grocer's wife
said she believed coffee was the cause
of our trouble and advised Postum.
| took it home rather dubious about
what my husband would say-he was
fond of coffee.
"But / took coffee right off the
table, and we haven't used cup OF
it since. You should have seen the
change in us, and now my husband
never complains of heart palpitation
any more My stomach trouble went
away in two weeks after | began Pos
tum. My children love it and 1t does
them good, which can't be said OF
coffee.
"A lady visited us who was always
half sick. / told her I'd make her a
cup of Postum. She said it was taste
less stuff, but she watched me make
it. boiling it thoroughly for Is min
utes, and when done she said it was
splendid. Long boiling brings out the
flavor and food quality" Name given

the deck, a lighted lantern swinging
from his hand, came upon a cloaked
female figure sitting well astern upon
a coil of rope, and his foot struck
sharply against small object, send
ing it swiftly toward her.
Holding his lantern lower to see
what this might be, the rays struck
across the white hand and wrist OF
Rose de Cazeneau as she reached for
ward and picked up an exquisite
ivory fan, whose jeweled sticks
caught the light glimmeringly.
ooh, it is Madame Rejects pet fan

place of one he broke, when she
danced with him at the governors

Her voice sank lower, and fiutter-
ing, like that made by the wings OF
startled wild bird, sounded in it.
Laitte's hand had stolen over one
of hers, and now held it close.
"Why are you here, little Rose, and
not asleep, like the others, as you
ought to be? You must be very
tired"

She stopped abruptly, and he felt
the SILVER that ran through her shout

The suppression made his voice
tremulous as he asked, forcing a
laugh, and taking the fan from her
hand, do you understand the Ian
guage of the FAM"
Somewhat" she answered, wonder
ing at his apparent change of mood.
"Iazalie has told me of it."

ERRORS ABOUT THE WHITE
HOUSE.
To the Editor,

To the Editor:
noticed somewhere recently
would not say positively that 1t was In
your columns-an article on the White
House which contained several mis-
statements.
In the first place 1t was stated the
White House was first occupied In
1909 and that It's 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 it was burned by the
British and rebuilt in 1878.
Another of the errors in the article
referred to was the statement that
ready-prepared paint is used on the
White House to make 1t beautifully
white.
| noticed this especially because !
have used considerable paint myself
and wondered that canned paint
should be used on such an important
pure white lead and linseed oil make
the best paint.
1t SO happened also that ! 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 the
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 If it is only date
or statement about wood, or brick,
or paint, or other building material.

CHAPTER Xxx.

Lartte, while waiting for Baptistine
10 return with implements for making
q 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
to say, convinced that she was not
mistaken in her statement, although
there were no papers-nothing in the
way of further identifcation-foun
upon the dead man.
Barbe acquiesced readily in Lafittes
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 Laftte'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
guard against any disturbance from
denizens of the woods.
In the sunsetbathed 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
fitte's party, weary from the excite
ment of the day and the fatigue of
their long march through the woods,
betook themselves gratefully to such
accommodations as Baptistine's small
craft afforded for rest and sleep.
The night had closed in darkly as
the boat slipped away beneath the
starlight, made DINNER by the wall
ing forest lining either bank of the
bayou.
It was some time after this that
