fallen over Toulon Jean was still weak and emaciated from ill ness From Greloire the boy had heard and with outspoken indigna tion of General Bonapartes depar ture shortly after his own arrival at the convent which had been turned Into a hospital He went away and left me Jean -exclaimed angrily the color suffusing his cheeks Left me when I was not able to speak to him He left a letter with Pere Huot and a farewell message which the good father will doubtless give you when lie sees fit Then why should not Pere Huot have told me so before demanded -Jean half rising from his seat beside the bed Easy mon ami sit still said Gre loire calmly Do not get excited else I shall regret telling you any thing about the affair We have to remember that you have been very ill Tenderness showed in his tone and he gently touched the thin hand Testing on the coverlet Late in the afternoon of this same day Pere Huot sitting with Jean in the latters room had been informing liim of what had transpired since the morning Murier brought him to the shelter and safety of his present abode He watched the boys face care fully as he told him of Margots bur ial and of Bonapartes many visits to liis bedside where he lay tossing in -delirium and the good priest re joiced within himself to see the look of dogged grief soften into one of sub dued gratification My son where is the box of pa pers Monsieur le Baron thy father intrusted to Margot for safe keeping The box of papers Pere Huot the hoy repeated as if trying to recall Jean angry and reckless exclaim ed Ill be no hypocrite nor pretend to what I cannot feel I have hated Etienne all my life and with good cause and I will never say otherwise now that he is dead I would spurn any title or position that had been his despise myself if ever again I lived beneath the roof who had sheltered one who spoke such dastardly words of my mother I want to go over seas avay from France away to the new world and carve out a name for my selfgain fame and riches I should die like a wild bird in a cage to live such a life as men pass here The very thought of it is hateful to me Ah exclaimed the priest This comes from Laros teachings No father indeed no cried Jean all the fire gone from his eyes I have always longed to live such a life always Always all of thy very long life Jean my son said Pere Huot a sa tirical smile touching his thin lips The boys face became crimson and he said nothing We have talked long enough for the present my son the priest add ed and now I will leave thee Read General Bonapartes letter and may it bring thy -mind to holding more wor thy ideas of the future than those I have just heard from thee And Jean my son coming close to him and laying a caressing hand on the wilful head I beseech thee try and harbor kindlier feelings and more Christian like forgiveness for thy brother He left the room closing the door softly and Jean sat staring out of the window though the suns rays now stole down to touch his brow But after musing a few seconds he roused himself with a quick nervous move ment and looked again at the letter A moment later he broke its seal and the thin paper seemed to pulse with his own heartbeats as he read and re read its words I rfa xijj3 o VaM jijJH I want to go over seas away from France andcawe out a name fat my self something I cannot say I do not know Know not where it is exclaimed the priest with a marked change of bearing and tone How is this What was done with it ill The good priest spoke urgently al most impatiently leaning forward and looking fixedly into the boys per plexed face Burned with the cottage replied Jean Know you not my son what this box contained inquired Pere Huot looking the boy in the face and speak ing sternly Yes some jewels and papers what of them Those papers were the proof and vindication of thy birthright de clared the priest solemnly Thy moth ers marriage certificate was amongst them and the loss of this may make trouble for thee The boys eyes now turned from the window to meet those of Pere Huot Did Margot tell thee father of all that befell the last night we passed at Languedoc Yes my son and I have waited for a fitting time to speak to thoe of the matter General Bonaparte and my self talked of it as well and I must say that thou were cruelly and need lessly angered and wounded But I was grieved that thou shouldst have been led to the act that so nearly made thee a murderer As to thy brother we must forgive the dead even more freely than the living and Etienne is now gone where he should have thy forgiveness in full He paused and Jean turned in his chair to look at him questioningly Yes thy brother is dead he con tinued still more impressively I re gret to tell thee that he was found guilty of a crime the Great Committee never forgives that of treachery While seeming to serve their cause he sold its secrets to the English Jeans lips curled with scorn but he made no spoken comment Etienne now dead thou my son art heir to the title and estates which although declared confiscated may yet be rescued and saved to thee through the influence of thy friend General Bonaparte who bade me tell thee this at the proper time and also to give thee this letter HMf Mon ami mon cher ami De Soto I anrgflWedfothe hMrrtKaET miis leave thee But go ifnuafc relieved by tffe assurance thatjpsthee ii lovipgnandr whichmuoDn nurs j

and going through th wide flung portals Selected musician s from the fort played for the daaflfiw in the ball room and entertaine large gathering of spectators outsi who looked through the open window upon the flash of color and sparkle qf gems as the elite of the city a province celebrated the annual ball given by Don Francisco Louis Hecto Baron de Uarondelet Governor an Intendant of Louisiana and West Flo ida In an apartment opening from the ball room several men whose years or tastes made cards more attractive than dancing were gathered about a table upon which gold and silver were stacked in miniature towers before the players one of whom was saying with an unconcealed sneer directed at a tall handsome man who clad in the British uniform sat opposite Msieur Stanleys hoard of gold promises to be mere than he can well carry away Why not pay more attention to your cards De la Chaise and prevent the pile increasing inquired a man at the little Frenchmans side a man who greatly resembled Laro captain of the Aigle and erstwhile patron of Lo Chein Heureux De la Chaise not answering the other continued with a malicious light now shining in the dark eyes fixed upon the Englishmans impassive face Saw you the Count de Cazeneau this afternoon may I ask Captain Stan ley The latter encountered and appear ed to understand the look of his ques tioner and a steel like glinting showed in his eyes as he replied That is an odd inquiry to make Don Morales in asmuch as I have to recall that I met you entering his house as I was leav ing it Very true so you did admitted Laro for he it was and I was won dering if you left the count in the same devilish humor as that in whicli I found him At this an angry red showed in the officers cheeks and a gleam of wrath in his eyes But without looking again at Laro he picked up his cards and glanced at them then with an oath he threw them upon the table gathered his earnings and strode from the room It was generally suspected that Cap tain Edward Stanley was one of the numerous worshipers of Count de Cazeneaus lovely daughter and gos sip had been unusually busy with then names during the present week at the close of which the English officer hav ing concluded the mission upon which he had been sent to New Orleans was to return to Mobile where the garri son was composed equally of British and Spanish troops It was also under stood that Count de Cazeneau had no liking for the stalwart calm faced Englishman Why did you try to prick him Don Morales asked one of the players a tall spare man with gray hair and heavy overhanging eyebrows Don Morales laughed scornfully Because it is worth something te kindle a little fire in the cold blood oi an English dog But what is it all about inquired another of the party Don Morales but asked a simple question Whaf was there in it to justify any man English or otherwise calling for sat isf action Yes added a young American of ficer looking to be twenty two oi thereabouts sitting beside Colonel Zachary what was there for him tc get angry about for angry he was ai something It couldnt have been his cards for I looked at what he threw down See here Don inquired the quick witted
