WITH ILLUSTPATIOM5 BY DON C VYLSON J
CHAPTER VII
Threo weeks later and a sullen
jieace had 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

New Orleans and the nightibefdrfe
New Years day of 1795 saw thewir
dows of the governors houseablaz
with light and a constant stream o
people coming 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 ensign who although a recenl
widower with a yoirag boy was in
secret one of RoseHaaqreis Mii il
that you know ofmlheVtiMK

Just a Minute
A boy once faced a task and knew
He should begin It
He could not start to put It through
For just a minute
And though the case demanded speed
He could not move just then but hed
Be ready for It yes Indeed
In just a minute
His purposes were out of rhyme
By just a minute
The whole world seemed ahead of tlmo
By just a minute
H j could not learn to overhaul
His many duties large and small
But made them wait both one and all
For just a minute
In manhood he was still delayed
By just a minute
He might have won had Fortune stayed
For just a minute
But at the end of life he railed
At cruel Fate and wept and wailed
Because he knew that he had failed
By just a minute
