fellows and leader. But when LATTE
stepped ashore. he bade them dispense,
and motioned his guests to precede
him up the pathway leading from the
beach.
They lost no time in doing this, scru-
tinized keenly by the resentful and
still puzzled outlaws, who, when the
scarlet uniforms disappeared inside
the fort with LATTE, began numbering
among themselves as to the meaning
of this strange proceeding.
LATTE, going to buffet at cue end
81 the room, took from it several cut
glass decanters and glasses, which, to-
gether with a large silver box filled
with cigars, he placed upon the table.
Permit me to offer you glass of
wine, or brandy, gentlemen" he said.
Then you may proceed to talk, for |
am at your service. am Jean Lafitte,
the 'commandant-if such / may be
called-at Barataria."
Both officers stared at him in undis-
guised amazement Then they again
looked at one another, but now as If
for mutual comfort, while they began
to humble confused apologies.
Proceed LATTE repeated, paying
no heed to their discontinue. What
do you want with me-what can any
English colonel have to say to Jean
Lafitte of Louisiana that Jean Lafitte
can care to hear?'
Leaning back in his chair, he folded
his arms, and looked steadily at the
two men.
Capt. Lockyer rose, and drawing
from the pocket of his coat sealed
package, laid it upon the table, near
where Laftte's arm was resting.

CHAPTER Xxx.

The following day, LATTE, accom-
panied by Pierre and Nato, made q
hasty trip to Shell Island, where he
found all as he had left it, and re-
ceived hearty welcome from all his
followers. But when, early in the aft
ernoon, he returned to Grande Terre,
t. was to scene of great excitement
An English warship-a brig-was to
re seen in the offing, and boat from
It, bearing a white flag, was approach
ing the island.
LATTE went himself in a boat to
meet the stranger. which-as he saw
through CLASSIFIED, besides its
crew, two officers in the English nav
al uniform.
The officers introduced themselves
as Capts. Lockyer and McWillams, of
His Majesty's navy, bearers of mes
sage from Col. Nichols, commander of
the forces in Florida, to Capt. Jean La
fitte, "Commandant at Barataria."
Il will take the message, gentle
men," said Lafitte, when they had stat
ed their errand, 'as it is not quite
possible that you will be permitted to
land on the island"
At this the officers conferred with
each other in low tones; then the one
who had introduced himself as Cap
tain Lockyer, and who was the senior
Of the two, addressed himself to La
fitte.
I'VE cannot do this. Our orders are
to see Capt. LATTE himself, and to
place the message in his hands"
VERY we'll, gentlemen; be it SO, re-
piled Lafitte. but in that case must
insist, for your own welfare, that you
go ashore in my boat, leaving your
own to lie off the island"
The Englishmen consented to this,
and the boats were brought side by
side, so that the officers might board
The Barbarian craft.
The outlaws, wondering and excited,
and with arms ready for use, stood
watching the returning boat, wherein
the hated English uniforms showed in
seeming friendliness with their own

He spoke cheerfully and confidently,
as If there could be no doubt of La
fitte's ready acquiescence In tho pro-
posal.
DO these papers cover the entire
matter?" demanded LATTE, ignoring
the question
mot altogether began Capt. Nc
Williams: then he paused and looked
at Lockyer, as If preferring that the
latter should explain.
This he did by charging upon the
manifest and great advantages to re.
suit for the Barbarian commandant"
and his followers by acceding to the
proposition, entering the service of His
Britannia Majesty, and placing all
their vessels under the control of the
English. He added, with much i'm
pressiveness, that, besides the rank of
captain in the British navy, he was
authorized to promise LATTE the sum
of thirty thousand dollars in gold.
LATTE, instead of replying, walked
to the fireplace, and standing beneath
the pictured face of his idol, Napoleon
whose eyes seemed to be regarding the
group with cold intelligence, looked
down at the two seated men. His
hands were clasped behind him, and
his eyes held glitter that was menac.

Gentlemen he said, Il agree with
you in saying that the matter is
most important one, for me, as we'll as
for yourselves-so important to me
that | cannot decide it as speedily as
you seem to expect, but must have a
few hours in which to give 1t proper
consideration"
Both officers looked annoyed, and
Capt McWilliams expostulated.

PURPOSE OF THE COURT.
A Understood by a Lawyer Who
Knew How to Circum-
vent It.

Hon. A. G. levitt, lawyer, politician
and man of sarcastic wit, was once
trying case in the supreme court in
elfast, Me- his home city. The judge
presiding, before being called to the
bench. had tried many cases against
Jewett, who did not entertain very
high opinion of his ability, relates the
Boston Herald.
In his closing argument Jewett, in
defiance of the rules OF the court,
started In to read some law to the jury.
The court pounded on the bench and
said "Mr. Jewett, you must not read
law to the jury in your closing argu-
ment." Jewett kept on reading with
out so much as a glance at the court
The court, In thunderous tones, order
ed him to stop.

KNOWS NOW
Doctor Was Fooled by His Own Case
for a Time.

It's easy to understand how ordi-
nary people get fooled by coffee when
doctors themselves sometimes forget
the facts.
A physician speaks of his own ex.
perience:
Il had used coffee for years and
really did not exactly believe 1t was
iniuring me although ] had palpita-
ton of the heart every day.
Finally one day severe and al
most fatal attack of heart trouble
frightened me and | gave up both
tea and coffee, using Postum instead
and since that time l have had abb
solutely no heart palpitation except
on one or two occasions when | tried
a small quantity of coffee which
caused severe irritation and proved
to me l must let 1t alone.
When we began using Postum 1t
seemed weak--that was because we
did not make it according to direc-
tions-but now we put little bit of
butter in the pot when boiling and
allow the Postum to boil full Is min
utes which gives 1t the proper rich
flavor and the deep brown color.
Il have advised a great many Of
my friends and patients to leave off
coffee and drink Postum, in fact I
daily give this advice" Name given
by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
Many thousands of physicians use
Postum in place of tea and coffee in
their own homes and prescribe it to
patients. There's a reason"
