CHAPTER XVII.—Continued.
The winds proving unfavorable, it
was not. until an evening in early July
k feat the “Black Petrel” anchored in
the harbor of Bordeaux.
Knowing the location of Greloire's
hous< Lafitte lest no time in reaching
an(- f'ns admitted by a sleepy-eyeu
servant, who led the way through a
spacious hali to a closed door at the j
farther end; this he opened noise
lessly. and announced Jim's presence.
At 111’ * sound of the servant’s voice
G re loin started hastily; with a joyful
exclamation he jumped to his feet
■with outstretched hands.
“Jean. Jean, lad! It is truly thy
very self! An'' thou hast at last ,
broken way, and come hack to the old i
fold!”
•l-ar.rte grasped the welcoming hands ;
and shook them cordially. But his
<\ves, still searching Greloire’s face,
saw. beneath its look of momentary
giadness, one of keen anguish; and
the younger man wondered what
trouble had come to his friend.
I cannot say as to that, old com
rade. was his guarded reply. “I have
certainly broken away, for a time, at
least; but for how long, and to what
purpose, the near future must decide !
—not 1.”
Greloire’s face clouded again, but
only lor an instant; and. placing a
chair for his guest, he pressed him to
take breakfast.
Tins, however. Lafitte declined, ex- '
plaining that he had already partaken
of the meal aboard ship.
“I feel greatly flattered. Jean, that
you should be in such haste to see
me,” said Greloire, as he began to eat.
doing it in a perfunctory fa&hion that
indicated the performance of a duty.
“You are very welcome. But"—with
a keen glance—“why have you come?”
"To ask you to take me to the em
peror. and, if it may be. help me to
find some way of servLtg him.”
Greloire's fork fell upon his plate.
“The emperor!” he repeated, a
cloud of anguish sweeping all the
brightness from his face. -Know you
not what has happened—that he is no >
longer emperor of France?”
“What!” cried Lafitte, starting from
his chair. Then he added lightly,
“You are jesting, or trying to surprise
me. Perhaps you will tell me that he
is now ruler of all Europe.”
“I cau explain everything in a few
words,” replied Greloire. evidently .
trying to repress his feelings, and as
sume a calmness of manner. "The
Russian campaign was most disas
trous and the emperor returned,
beaten. The allies followed him to
Paris, where he defeated their three
armies, one after the other, although
plain. Murier and I were much to
gether, and much to one another—
close comrades. He lost an arm at
Wagram. was decorated, and pen
sioned. and then went to Elba, where
he has since lived with his married
sister, Madame Teche, whose husband
is a farmer. We will go first
to Murier; he is close to the
emperor—perhaps in his service, j
and l doubt not that he will be able
to arrange for an interview. But of this
I am certain—that he will welcome us,
and do all in his power to serve us."
"Good!" exclaimed Lafitte, from
whose face the reminiscent look had
vanished. "And now. Greloire, let us i
consult as to the details. How soon
can we depart?"
Then while the day grew, the two
perfected their plans.
Hafitte and Greloire set out on
horseback that same evening, making
no prolonged stop until Toulon was
reached. They arrived there early one
afternoon, and rested until the follow
ing morning: and the two—Lafitte
more especially—felt like ghosts re
turned to former scenes as they ram
bled about the slightly changed
streets.
They left their horses at Toulon,
and pushed on by hired conveyance to
Cannes. Then, in order to avoid sus
picion. they crossed over to Leghorn,
and. chartering a large fishing smack, j
sailed for Porto Ferrajo. the principal
port of Elba, where the emperor re- (
sided.
The Teche farm was about a mile in- !
land; and one of the younger men ;
offering his services as guide, he led :
the way from the beach, across a i
grassy field, until, having passed ;
through a piece of woods, they came .
out upon an eminence overlooking a
fertile valley, planted with vines, as
were also the opposite hillsides.
Below lay a spacious wooden dwell- ;
insr. and near it a man, coatless, and
with one shirt sleeve swinging empty
of the arm that should have filled it.
was w alking slowly about, a large deg
follow ing at his heels.
"Murier himself, by all that is for
tunate:” muttered Greloire, raising a j
hand to better shade his eyes from the ;
glare of sunshine,‘after which he took \
a deep breath, and sent his voice j
ahead in a vigorous and prolonged }
shout.
They were close enough to see Mur
ier's perplexed face as he turned
quickly and looked toward them. But
the perplexity was lost in a glow of
glad eagerness, as he came forward
and grasped Greloire by the arm.
while the latter's hands eaueht the
coatless shoulders and shook them
playfully.
^' L ' \ | \
“Jean! Jean, lad! It is truly thy very self!”
he wa- outnumbered five to one. But j
he lost many men. some of his most
trusted marshals turned traitors, and
he was forced finally to abdicate.
Then the allies—those who had been
proud of his friendship, and sought his j
aid in former years—sent him to Elba,
as its ruler."
lafitte. who had listened with wide
open eyes, seamed scarcely able to
comprehend all that he had heard.
"What is this you tell me?" he mut
tered slowly, amazement and rage giv
ing a new look to his face. "Do you
say that the emperor is on Elba?"
"He is, and exiled there. I am tell
ing you what all Europe has known
for weeks!” cried Gre’.oire passion
ately, the tears streaming from his
eye®.
"And I came, hoping that he could
find use lor my services here in
France.”
Lafitte spoke despairingly; for
again, as three years before, had Grc
loire uttered words to stir the utter
most depths of his nature.
"Tell me. old friend—do you think it
would be possible for me to see him?”
"Why not? He receives many peo
ple who visit Elba in order to pay him
homage.”
"Then surely I should be able to see
him. But how can it be arranged?
Cannot you tbink of some plan?” de
manded Lafitte. a mingling of pleasure
and impatience showing in his face as
he again seated himself.
"How soon do you wish to s’art?"
"At once, for I can afford to lose no
time. It mutt be now,” was the impa
tient reply.
There was a short silerce, after
which Greloire, who appeared to have
been turning something in his mind,
exclaimed. "B;en! I believe I can see
a very clear way for ourselves.”
"Yes—what is it?"
“Do you remember Murier? It
was he who brought you to Bonaparte,
that morning after the storming of j
Toulon. Do you remember?”
A grave look had been deepening in
J.afitte'5 face, and bis voice had a ;
softer tone as he answered. “Yes, yes,
old friend. I remember Murier. But t
what can ho possibly have to do with ;
our project?”
"Much, as you will see when I ex ,
Aha, old comrade,” Greloire cried
laughingly, “I rejoice to see that the
Elba sun has made those cheeks of
thine less white than when I last saw
them, in the hospital. Thou are well?”
“Quite well, my dear Felix. I assure
you." was the more quiet reply. “But
what happy fortune has brought thee
to this part of the world, to gladden
my eyes?”
“You shall know all about it later.”
said Greloire. “But let me present
you. Murier, to Captain Lafitte, of
Louisiana—in the United States, you
will understand. He is my friend.”
Murier extended his hand to Lafitte.
who. with a few courteous words,
clasped it warmly.
It had been agreed that Lafitte
should be know n to Murier as Captain
Lafitte. from America, who desired to
do himself the honor of paying his re
spects to the exiled emperor.
The only person now exercising sur
veillance upon Elba was the English
commissioner, who happened to be ab
sent for a dav from Porto Ferrajo.
This was a fortunate circumstance for
Lafitte and Greloire, as the commis
sioner was supposed to keep a watch
ful eye upon the emperor, and report
his observations to the English cab
inet.
Still—a= Greloire had said—it was
no uncommon thing for travelers to
visit Elba with the object of paying
their respects to Napoletn; and Mur
ier, after laying Greloire's request be
fore him, was to ascertain if he would
consent to receive his former soldier
and the Americau captain that same
evening.
Thus had it been settled when Mur
ier and Greloire can e out of the house
and joined the two who were chatting
on the shaded veranda.
When their hostess took her depart
ure, Lafitte turned to Murier and
asked abruptly, “How does your em
peror bear his exile? Seems he bappy
at all, or even content?”
“Have you ever seen him? You
speak as one who admires—yes, loves
him.” Murier spoke rapidly, and his
searching eyes showed a certain sur
prise at the eagerness manifested in
the younger man's face.
“I surely admire and love him.” was
the answer, hearty and yet evasive
of Murier s question. “Cannot one do
this without having seen him?”
“Indeed yes, m’sieur,” replied Mur
ier, in a tone of strong emotion. “Are
there many hearts in America, may 1
ask, who hold him thus?”
Lafitte hesitated a moment before
answering with an emphasis that left
nothing for Murier to desire, “If thoy
knew him as do I, every heart would
feel as does mine. As it is, nowhere
in France is his name held more
sacred than in Louisiana. Now,
M'sieur Murier, will you not answer
my question?”
“Certainly, M'sieur le Capitaine; I
will answer you frankly. Whenever I
have seen the emperor, which of late
has been frequently, it has been to see
him tranquil, almost to indifference.”
Here Greloire, who had been listen
ing with growing indignation, broke
in'o the conversation.
“And think you, Murier, that such a
state of affairs is to continue? Can
you believe that his wonderful powers
are crushed—lost in this indifference
of which you speak? No! I believe
that, sooner or later, he will rise
and-”
"Sh-h!” warned Murier, with a
imperative gesture. "This is a
time and place, old comrade, when it
is wise to do no believing aloud. Let
us talk no more of such matters, but
learn from M'sieur le Capitaine some
thing of that wonderful country of his
—Louisiana.”
The talk was interrupted by the re
appearance of Madame Teche, who
summoned them to dinner; and Gre
loire and Lafitte—the former more
especially—who had found little en
joyment in the cuisine of the fishing
smack, were not slow in accepting the
By the time full justice had been
done to the generous meal, the hour
had come for Murier to report for
duty; and, promising to return with
all i>ossible speed, he left the guests
to be eutertained by his sister.
The twilight was near, with the
glow of sunset paled in the valley, and
the shadows climbing the hills out
lined sharply against the liquid glory
of the cloudless sky, when he returned
with the information that the emperor
would, at S o’clock, receive Greloire
and iiis friend, the American gentle
man: and shortly afterward they,
guided by Murier. took their way
across the darwening valley, and en
tered a grassy road that wound
through a gateway of the hills.
(.To be continued.)
FAMILY LOVE IN JAPAN.
It is Deep and Strong. But is Not
Displayed to the Public.
Public demonstration of affection is
most repugnant to the good taste of
the Japanese, and it is the absence of
this which is so generally mistaken
for a lack of genuine feeling. I re
call one man w ho was so devoted to
his mother (though 1 doubt whether
he could ever have been said to have j
“talked about’’ her), that when she
died, while he was abroad, his depres- |
sion was so profound that my hus- .
band watched him w ith anxiety, lest j
he should commit suicide said a
writer in the Outlook.
The stoical training may render
more unsympathetic a coarse nature,
but repression to the refined soul !
brings an exquisite capacity for pain j
scarcely conceivable by those who j
are free to give utterance to every j
emotion.
Another man said to me: “I rarely
speak of my mother, for a foreigner
does not understand that a Japanese
mother may be just as dear to her
son as his to him. and by the Japa
nese it is not expected that one :
should utter one’s deepest feeling.”
That same son fainted w ith grief when
his mother died, and when conscious
ness returned rose to make light of a
“little dizziness,” without reference
to its cause.
To this day, whenever he goes from
home he carries with him his
mother’s letters, mounted on a beauti
ful roll of ivory and brocade, and on
the anniversary of her passing be
yond his mortal ken quietly devotes
a portion of the day to meditation and
special thought of her. Even to his
wife, despite the closest bond of love,
he says rot: “This is the day of my
mother’s death.” ?
CAUGHT IN CLEVER TRAP.
Answering of Familiar Cry Proved
Undoing of Criminal.
‘‘Co-e-e” is the curious cry that was
one of the signals of the native blacks
of Australia. The cry was speedily
adopted by the invading whites. The
final “e” is a very high note, a sort
of prolonged screech that resounds for
long distances through the bush, and
thus enables separated persons to
ascertain their relative positions. On
one notable occasion this peculiar cry
was heard in London. A daring bush
ranger made his appearance one
morning in front of a bank in Bal
larat, and coolly posted a notice on
the door to the effect that the place
would be closed for an hour.
Entering, he terrorized the officials
with his revolver, and got clear away
with $30,000. Some time afterward
the authorities received information
that ihe man had been seen in Lon
don. One day a detective thought he
espied his man in the Strand, but not
being quite sure he hit upon an ex
pedient. He uttered a piercing
"Coo-e-e.”
Passers-by stood fixed in astonish
ment, but the Australian, acting on
the spur of the moment, and recog
nizing the familiar sound, hastened
to the person who uttered it. He was
promptly arrested and was taken
back to Australia.
Duke's Soubriquet.
When he was at Eton, it is said
that the duke of Westminster was !
known as "Jack Sheppard.” He was 1
at that time a small, thin boy, with a !
sharp figure and face. He wore his
hair somewhat closely cropped, after
the French fathion, so that he was the j
living image of Cruikshank’s picture I
of Jack Sheppard in Ainsworth’s fa- '
mous novel.
No Trace.

marki.”
Modish Trimming.
The bouillonee is still a modish trim
ming and the narrow plaited frills
also retain their popularity. Among
the popular trimmings for cashmere
house frocks is a narrow plaited frill 1
of silk. The frill is set on in a bold
Greek key design upon the full skirt
and the skirt has a very shallow plain
yoke, which gives snugness just about
the waist line and is cut in two points
in the front. Frills trim the sleeve
and edge the turned down collar, and
silk matching that of the frilling is
used for the girdle and for bows set
down the bodice front. A model of
delicate gray cashmere has bands of
appliqued embroidery in shades of
gray and white run around the full :
skirt border, the simple surpliced bod- ;
ice. which also acts as trimming for [
the sleeves.
—
Vogues in Velvet Gowns.
The majority of the velvet dresses
are made in the princesse style unless
the waist has a bojced satin girdle
comprising almost the entire bodice, i
Few have much trimming, and one ;
very handsome red velvet dinner
gown was entirely plain save for the
deep bertha of old rose point lace.
On the pale shades, as blue and green,
pearl bead embroidery is effective, and
there are numberless ways in which
the gown may be adorned with large
bead embroidered patterns both on
skirt and waist.
There seem to be two favorite mod
els for velvet dresses, the one having
the material draped across front and
back, the skirt and waist in one piece,
the other trimmed rather elaborately
with satin made with a wide pointed
satin girdle.
A Pcmpac'our Negligee.
A pompadour negligee is Louis XVI.
in pattern, and fresh and pretty for
the morning. The facings are of pink
silk, and a huge bow of blue catches
4 at the throat. Great flowing sleeves
of lace and chiffon and small lace ruf
fles turning back at the throat are fea
tures. The roses are pink, the forget
me-not blue, and the ferns green.
Velvet Gowns Very Much in Favor.
Velvet gowns increase in fashion
able favor as the days go by, and in j
the styles in which they are accepted
now their uses are manifold. One sees
them in princess forms, either the se
verely plain or the more graceful
draped designs. They are trimmed lav
ishly with real laces, with medallions :
of varying kinds and character, with 1
^andsome braids, or they are left with j
only an irreproachable cut and finish ;
for their sole decoration. The three- j
piece velvet costume is one that is
perhaps capable of the greatest va
riety of appearances, the coat and i
skirt admitting of a wide choice in the |
matter of bodices. The chiffon vel- i
vets and velveteens are so soft that j
the accusation of bulk, which has.
hitherto rendered them unsuitable for
bodice uses. Las fallen away utterly,
and one sees as many velvet as chiffon ;
bodices and blouses in all of the ex- !
elusive shops which cater to the most
fashionable trade.
Fetching Chantilly Veil.
The Chantilly lace veil is very much
in evidence in Paris at the present mo |
ment, the all-over designs being large
and light, with the most intricate
openwork stitches. They are from
twelve to sixteen inches broad and
about a yard and a half long, the veil
being either tied in a big bow behind
or simply caught with a large safety
pin. Brussels lace is again becoming
fashionable, and Brussels net and lace
combined, which always enjoy a
measure of popularity, stands very
high likewise in point of favor.
Cloth Skirt and Velvet Coat.
Most charming in the new shades of
blue is a costume with cloth skirt and j
velvet coat, the skirt, many shades the !
lighter, braided in a round cord fleck
ed with silver. In the waistcoat is
more than a hint of silver cloth in a
braided pattern on two shades of blue
brocade. In a light brown is another
attractive rendering of the same de
sign, the cloth almost a tan and the I
coat a dark brown velvet. The waist- i
coat of brocade is light tan, with !
pinkish flowered design. All these
coats are tight fitting, but so well are
they cut that they can be worn over j
a waist to march the skirt, or, as is
still a most popular fashion, of eni- j
broidered law n or crepe de chine, with
insertions of lace.
—
Promise in ftilakeshifts.
Comparatively few model dresses
are yet to be seen, but those on view
are worth art; nfion. being for the •
most parr the products of the best j
houses in New York or the creations j
of Paris dressmakers. There is noth- j
ing strikingly origiral about these ;
January prophesies cf summer. Many j
of them are frankly bet ween-season
makeshifts, meeting the requirements j
of visitors to Florida or the Rivieia.
-=
A wonderfully pretty cotton net y
dress displayed this week came from i
Rouff. It had a white ground, vaguely
covered with twigs of pink almond .
blossoms, and was made over a skirt
of pale pink taffeta. The entire dress
was accordion-plaited, the full short
skirt being finished with three deep
flounces, each of which had a ribbon
border bringing out the almond pat
tern in brighter colors and thicker
clusters.

A new waist recently brought out in
Paris is termed a blouse-bolero.
Corduroy walking suits are cow
made with plaited skirts.
Tan and Oxford are the preferred !
colors for rain coats, and in the plain
tailored styles.
Amethysts are in favor again and
in pendant form are attached to chains
of platinum.
Rouid brooches are a whim of the
moment.
Peridot is one of the stones in evi
dence in new jewelry and it is usually
encircled by tiny diamonds.
For lingerie waists the leg o’ mut
ton sleeve is predicted as a leader for
next season.
Picturesque Idea, in Black.
Quite conspicuous in Paris is a
fancy for running lines of black rib
bon velvet or moire ribbon on a lace
or spot-net foundation. For a black
creation, such is a telling treatment, !
and a little “chef d'oeuvre” of a gown, :
straight from Paris, arranged after !
this style, was of fine black lace, ’
mounted over white chiffon, the vel- '
vet lines concluding in a semi-circle ’
of jet balls, as light in weight as the
proverbial feather.

Apples Stewed With Lemons.
Pare, core and quarter twelve good- .
sized apples; put over the fire with 1
one quart of water, one cup of sugar
and one large lemon cut into thin 1
slices, and boil for a few minutes;
then put in the apples and boil until
a straw will pierce them easily; re
move from the stove, put the apples
in a dish and pour the strained syrup
over them; serve warm or cold. Cit
ron slices, currarts or raisins may be
added to the sauce.
After a car. of condensed milk has
been opened, keep the lid raised, or
better still, cut it off so the contents
will be exposed to the air.
Stand the jar to be filled with hot !

When sweet corn is served on the j
cob, leave a few of the inner husks on

Novel Modern Gingham.
Gingham in general is beginning a
boom season, though few old-fashion
ed housewives would recognize in the
material that now goes by that name
a speaking acquaintance, much less a
relative, of her one-time summer stand- ,
by. Some of the new tartan ginghams
are as lustrous as silk. Checks over
laid with embroidered dots are favor
ites, and there are beautiful patterns
in many shades of pale green threaded
with white and sprinkled with green
and black dots.
The new linens almost exhaust the
possibilities of variety, running from
the sheerest handkerchief grades to
the coarsest hopsacking. It is too
early to express even the most mod
est opinion, but if present showings
are indicative, the finest and coarsest
linens tend to crowd out medium
weaves.
The first linen shirt waist suits im
ported are made with full, plaited
skirts, usually with a box-plaited front
panel. The decorations on most of
the early models comprise Japanese
embroidery set off by rare lace or
drawnwork.
Mousseline de Soie Waist.
Evening or theater waist of white
mousseline de soie, shirred and draped
over a fitted lining. The yoke is of
cream lace, bordered with a bias band
of velvet, ornamented with round mo
tifs of soutache, and with three ruf
fies of the mousseline de soie. Straps
of the velvet and frills of lace orna
ment the front.
The sleeves are shirred on the inside,
and are finished with bands of the
velvet and puffs and frills of lace. The
knots are of ribbon, matching the
velvet.
Flowers from Seed.
Pansies from seed sown in January
or February will bloom freely through
the cool fall months.
Old-fashioned wallflower being a
perennial, does not bloom until the
spring following. There is. however,
an annual wallflower now in cultiva
tion that blooms freely through the
summer and fall. This has the true
wallflower fragrance and colors, prov
ing highly satisfactory as a substitute
for the perennial variety.
Foxgloves r-re mostly biennials and
require two years from seed in which
to bloom. Seed -hould be sown every
second year, if you desire to have a
display each year, as the plants usu
ally die after blooming.

one-fourth cup of water till it "hairs.”
Throw in the almonds, stir occasion
