 Jean Lafftte proved unable to re- strain his curiosity, watching the river, and his habit or close observation was of benefit in an unexpected way
 He pointed in the dim light to a low lying, battered power boat moored in the same slip with us. Something in her look seemed ia miliar.
 I hastily stepped on the wharf and got a closer look in the wavering beams of an arc light at the name on the boats bows. There in indisasnct and shaky but unnistakable charac- ters was the title painted by my young r1f1fans weeks earlier-Sea Rover!
 ..Jean Lafitte,' whispered, you are right, and now indeed we must have a care. Yon varlet has beaten us into New Orleans,
 Helena appeared on deck.

I longed for nothing so much as that night or Peterson would come.
 He did come at last, late in the aft ernoon, on an outbound train, and he hurried aboard as rapidly as he might The first thing he did was to hand me copy of an afternoon paper opened it eagerly enough, already well assured of what news it might carry.
 On the front page under large black head was a dispatch from Baton Rouge reIaying other dispatches re- ceived at that point, from many points between PlaquiInine and Bayou Sara These, in short, told the story of the Amost high handed attempt at river piracy known, in recent years The slx1yate yacht, of Calvin Davidson, a wealthy northern business man on his way south for the winter had been seized by band of masked ruff1ans, who boarded her while the yachts owner was temporarily absent on inn portant business in the city of Natchez.

That will give the look that we are safe to lie here some time, which is the last thing the Belle Helene real 1y would do or will do. They think we've run past the city already. and they'll be watching at quarantine and along the Lake Borgne canal Most of the yachts go out that way, headed for Florida. We'll go the other way. It's an adventure, Peterson, and one hfch any viking. like yourself, ought to relish.

 ssShe certainly is not!''
 t1Is 1t Nquite correct for me to go alone with you?"
 That is your part of the adventure, Helena. said I calmly An instant later I had led her across the Mngy warehouse dock, over dusty streets, to a crooked street car line over which I could hear approaching one of the in- frequent cars.
 Luigi's place, as all men know, Is situated upon a small, crooked and very. dirty street, yet none the less it ! is an abode of contentment, for those who know good living. When Helena and I entered the door I felt as one again at home. Therefore. as always, I had no occasion for surprise when Jean, my waiter these many years at Luigi's, stepped forward az though it had been but last week and not three years ago when he had seen me. He called me by name, greeted me again to his city and gently aided Helena with her wraps and gloves.l

 Yes said I. And presently, as we reached our table again, I showed her the afternoon papers, which as yet she had not seen. She read through the account of our escapade, her lips conn pressed, but presently she folded the paper and laid it down without com ment.
 ssAt any minute, you see" said I, "I may be appreheri1ed and our little sup per brought to an end"
 "But you will be so nervous you can't enjoy your spread.
 Not in the least, Helena. A nervons man has no business in the trade of piracy; but, ah, the fillet of trout, Hel- ena!''
