A Historic Settlement.

The first purely American settlement
west Of the Mississippi river was Cape
Girardeau, Mo. Its first settler, how.
ever, was Ensign Girardot, French
trader and for some time an officer In
the French army, who located on the
rocky mountain promontory just north
Of the present town. From Girardot
the county was named. The first per
manent settler at Cape Girardeau was
Louis Lorimier, a French-Canadfan,
who In 1882 came from the Miami val.
ley, west of the Mississippi His wife
was half breed Shawnee woman, and
through her great influence with the
Shawnees he was given a large grant
of land in 1795 by the governor Of the
territory Shortly thereafter the Span
ish government, deeming 1t wise to
populate upper Louisiana, offered free
lands exempted from taxation to set
tiers. Because these settlers came from
Kentucky, Virginia and North Carolina
almost entirely Cape Girardeau claim
ed the honor Of being the first Ameri-
can settlement. Previous settlements
had been largely Spanish or French.
Lorimier was counted as the father Of
the town, which dates in organization
from 1906. He died In 1912, having
survived his Indian wife four years.
He was buried by her side In Cape
Girardeau ON tree crowned hill over
looking the western Mississippi.-Kan-

(the Order of the Crown Of India) on
my left shoulder. | remember that my
black velvet dress was thickly en-
broidered with Jet, so much SO that the
pin could find no hold, and unwittingly
the queen stuck 1t straight into me.

she had done, was much concerned.

On this day had thought to tell her

words were held. Before me stood
duty, grim visaged and cruel eyed. Be

trancing.

She took from the lace at her white
throat tiny blue and gold swastika

So kissed my ladys favor and then
her hand and rode away.
Aside from my desire for Leonie or
news concerning her, my year with my
foster father was pleasant one. His
library was full Of books, his mind a
storehouse of ideas concerning travel.
history and romance. He gave me my
mornings for writing, and I wrote
much, glad that out In the world Le-
onie was reading and waiting.
The request he had asked might have
been whim, but he gave, leaving LIE
onie out Of the question, much more
than he could have received. The year
was nearing It's close when he spoke to
me Of my future.
"You have no idea of what these
months have been to me, Arthur" he
said as we were walking one evening
by the lake In his meadow.
"And they have been much to me,
SIR" I answered truthfully.
what would 1t mean to you to have
them last?' he asked, hitting some
goldenrod sprays with his cane, his
eyes on the yellow blossoms.
"It couldn't be quite like this, SIR"
answered slowly, and then told him
about Leonie and the swastika.
"It wasn't whim, boy, that has kept
you here" he replied, with smile on
his fine old face. you had begun
writing to me Of this Leonie, and 1t

future before you which must not be

had thought to find my lady where
I had left her, but she was standing
under some poplar trees near her own
gate. AS l came in sight of her
vagrant breeze touched the trees, and
shower of yellow leaves fell around
her like golden butterflies. I urged my
horse forward and sprang from my
saddle.

till the time comes" she answered, and
would have turned to her book again,
but my hand stayed her.
''Let me tell you a story, Leonie.
Once there was an orphan boy who
was adopted by a man and brought
up as his own son. The boy had been
left money, but the man gave to him
other things-love and sympathy, en-
couragement and trust. When the boy
had grown to man the foster father
sent him out into the world to accom-
plish his hearts desire. Did say that
the boys ambition was to writer
II understand, Arthur" she smiled.
when the boy was going away he
tried to tell the man what he felt Of
gratitude to him, but the man laid his
kind old hand on the boys shoulder
and said, Never mind that now, but
some time when | make request Of
you you will grant It, And of course
the boy thought then, and said so, that
any request would be small in compar-
ison with what the man had done for
him.
"In few years the young man had
become reasonably successful. In the
many times he saw his foster father
the request was not mentioned, but
the boy had not forgotten. Then one
day he met you, and you know what
that meant to him. You must know,
Leonie."
II think I understand, Arthur" she
whispered, coloring.
Last night the letter came. My fos-
ter father has made known his re-
quest"
1t was difficult to 60 on, looking into
Leonie's eyes, SO full of trust and hap
piness, and-yes, could see-so full OF
love-
"The request is a year out of my life

hotly.
Leonie was silent for time. Her eyes

exclaimed wrathfully.
Then Leonie sighed and turned her
face to me and laid her slim hand on
my sleeve.
