PARIS, Jan 14.-Pierre Lott, the
distinguished author, whose real name
is Viaud, and who has made his whole
career in the French navy being sta
toned first as lieutenant and then as
captain in foreign or colonial ports,
where his talent of observation FUR
nished him with material for his strlk-
ing novels, was today placed on the
retired list, owing to his age.
This may come as a surprise to
many of his admirers, who, no doubt
have continued all these years to pict-
ire him to themselves as the same
youthful officer who drew those graph
ic pen pictures of his Oriental expert
eEces But though his mind remained
ever young end active he could not
keep back the hand of time, and he
reached the age of sixty today.
He was born at Rochefort on jan
uary IA, 1850, of an old Protestant
family, and began his naval career as
a midshipmar on the Borda in 1867.

An eminent surgeon from Paris sees
Steele and suggests an operation that
will give him back his memory. This
he refuses to submit to at first, but
very thrilling dramatic incident leads
him to desire to know his own past and
he consents. This operation restores
him to a full recollection of his iden-
tity and he is informed by Joe that
he has been lost to himself for thr &c
years, that his wife has married again,
believing him to be dead, and that her
brothers crime has been charged to
him. Steele decides that he will never
return to Montreal, but will live ut
his life among the people who sur
rounded him.
His non-profession of religion leads
the ignorant people of the village t.
look on him as an infidel. and during
a very touching love scene between him
and Rosalie, the hut is assailed by re-
Iigious fanatics, who are intent upon
killing Steele. He is saved bv the
Seignour of the parish and his brother,
the Able, who demands an account
ing of his past and if he can give
Rosalie his name. 1t is here that the
great uplift in Steele's character be-
Gins and shows the regenerating pow
er of love. Here the play materially
departs from the book. Steele does
not tell Rosalie about his past--he
spares her There is a tender parting,
but death does not come between them

play ends with the glorified renun-
citation on the part of Steele, but not
