PIRATE LAFITFE's TREASURE.

It's Hiding Place Has Been Pointed
Ont in Dreams by Ghosts.
Since the French privateer and
smuggler, Jean Lafitte, sailed the high
seas and bought his treasures to the
gulf coast and buried them, now and
then 1t happens that some sensation
arises as to their immediate where.
abouts, says the Houston Post.
Thirty-four years ago the pirate OF
the gulf, as Lafltte was called, ap-
peared in dream to DR.. Beazly and,
rather roughly taking him by the col
lar, told him to come with him and
he would show him where there were
gold and silver and diamonds buried.
The doctor In his dream followed his
midnight visitor and he directed him
to certain place In the cottage, which
was then the Beazly home and occu-
pied by the family, and designated the
spot under which lies the much-talked-
Of wealth Of the prlvateer.
The doctor, having the same dream,
repeated twice in the same night, be-
came wide awake after Laf1tte's third
visit and much Interested, the result
being that he did. and perhaps, too,
very shortly afterward, begin digging
under the house in pursuit Of the treas.
ure.
After getting to the depth Of four
or five feet he found nothing Of any
moment except very unusual stone In
this part of the world, where nothing
of its kind was ever seen here.
Had he kept on possibly the treasure
might have been found and the restless
spirit of Lafitte, wherever 1t may be,
might have been released from this
burden of secrecy, burden from
which, seemingly. he wished to be re-
lieved, as another visit has been made
In the same house, and this time In a
dream LATTE appears in the presence
of lady, urging her to get the lost
Jewels. gold and silver.
After all these years DR.. Beazly has
at last consented to have some one else
who believes in the undertaking join
him to find the treasures, and they
have made arrangements satisfactory
to all parties concerned, and now in a
short time Mr.. Mckay, banker at La
Porte. being the associate mentioned,
will begin operations to find the treas
ures slowed deep down under the old
house.

for the owl, which roOsts in the forests
Of John Taylor's farm. If the owl gives
series Of long, mournful boots, rain
Is expected the next day; If sharp and
clear are the boots, the weather will be
clear. The OWLS forecast has never
failed yet.
The owl Is called Big Ben. Its mate
was shot Is years ago and now adorns
the show window of Frank Hadwell's
store. Robert J. Gillespie of New York,
touring through Hancock the other
night, listened to the owl for half an
hour. He says all Washington weather

nrst night or two he lost quite a con-
siderable sum, to be sure; but they had
hardly been playing a week before de
Valiar and his friends discovered that NJ.
Lazare knew as much as they did.
DE Valiar particularly was nettled to
see this quiet, transformations foreigner
come IN and walk away with his money.
10 tell the truth, pending the floating of
the Consolidated Dock Company, that
article was rather scarce with him.
A boom In some Of his Argentine Re
public securities on the Bourse had given
him, however, a welcome lift. 1t was
quite sum. Three hundred and fifty
thousand francs had been placed to his
account with the Credit Foncier. That
very evening he drew half OF it in cash,
and came prepared to pit his fortune
against that of NJ. Frederic LaEare.
But NJ. Lazare would not play. From
an early hour in the evening 1t was OBJ
served that he kept in the outer salon.
He was unusually thoughtful and re-
served. He paused by the side of Nine.
Colbert-Remplin. An expression Of pity
hovered on his features as he stopped
and said:
will you do me favor? l ask Il for
the last time. viii you 60 quietly home
am willing to save you all can"
Nine. Colbert-Remplins white hand,
glittering with jewels, trembled as It lay
upon the arm Of her easy chair. But her
face was adamant and her voice without
a tremor, as she replied
No, / will not stir from here. will
stay and save him. 1t would kill me to
see him go back to the galleys."
The detective looked upon the frail
white-faced woman sitting before him,
and an indescribable something flashed
across his features. 1t was the tender.
ness of supreme pity, blended with ad-
miration.
"You can do nothing" he urged. "You
had better leave him to his fate. can
feel for you, but he richly deserves It."

it's to the de Valiars. He was now but
rarely accompanied by D'Auburon. who
adhered SO closely to his contention that
the detective was simply wasting his
time, that, as he put it, he considered It
altogether wrong to encourage him in his
/ obstinacy.
"These detectives, after ALL" thought
D'Auburon, ARE only human. He is fas-
cinated by the vicomtesse. Every one
falls into that net, | suppose one can't
blame him-she is handsome"
NJ. Cassagne had apparently made great
strides in the good books Of de yaliar.
He spent his mornings in the Office of the
Mutual Credit and Loan Company. where
he gave really valuable advice concern
ing the floating of the Consolidated Dock
enterprise.
He passed his afternoons seeins Paris
with the vicomte and Chabot and b,s
evenings he divided between the .vicom.
tesse and the card table. In a bouse
where high play was the principal event
of the evening, it was impossible not TO
come more or less within its influence.
Certain II is that the vicomtesse had
taken a more than ordinary interest in
her foreign guest. Perhaps he was a
good listener, which is the sincerest fat
terry to your brilliant conversationalist
Anyhow she insisted upon accompanying
M. Lazare to the table upon the first
night, and by her presence prevented the
stakes running unduly high.
She need not have been SO solicitous on
the Swiss gentleman's account. The

There was a great crush to obtain admlttance

dangerously massed against the lower railing.
With view relieving this crowding in the
gallery the attendants decided to transfer some

of the ushers called out: Some OF you chlldren

of the struggling children TO the corridors below
A panic among the children in the lower part OF
the house was narrowly averted, all of these
eventually being taken to the streets in safety.
When the reserve police arrived they found
the narrow stairway blocked with bodies, some
of which were crushed almost beyond recogni-

pressure from the crowd behind them TO

hall were crowded with sobbing women search
