now Judge Simon, one of the leading iur-
fists of Louisiana, was under MIR. Long

pened one day TO tell him some of the
tales that have been identified with the
Tcche country since it was first settled by
its different bands of picturesque adven-
tuTers. Among these stories, that of

of Louisiana prairie lands, the proper
stage setting for Il legend that Offered 10
him wide scope for his romantic genius.

clincd to write the story of th4s friend

The tale that Judge Simon told Long
fellow WAS the one ne had often heard
from "Caiun' lips-;he maiden in the case

lover, Louis ArcencauM. After the de

Louis wounded and borne away on a

Gods little angel" They still tell the
old "Cajun' grandes meres. how she al
