MIGHT HAVE SAVED IT
A Lot of Trouble from Too Much
Starchy Food
A little boy of eight years whose
jparents did not feed him on the right
lnd of food was always nervous and
suffered from a weak condition of the
stomach and bowels Finally he was
taken down with appendicitis and
After the operation the doctor know
ing that hi3 intestinal digestion was
very weak put him on Grape Nuts
twice a day
He rapidly recovered and about two
months -thereafter his Father states
He has grown to be strong muscu
Jar and sleeps soundly weighs 62
pounds and fiis whole system is In a
fine condition ot health Name given
Ijy Postum Co Battle Creek Mich
It is plain that if he had been put
an Grape Nuts at an earlier period in
ls life and kept from the use of
-foods that he could not digest he nev
er would have had appendicitis That
disease is caused by undigested food
decaying in the stomach and bowels
causing Irritation and making for the
growth of all kinds of microbes set
ting up a diseased condition which ifl
the active cause of appendicitis and
-this is more marked with people who
do not properly digest white bread
Grape Nuts U made of the selected
parts of wheat and barley and by the
peculiar processes of the cooking at
the factory all of the starcn Is turned
Into sugar ready for immediate diges
tion and the more perfect nourish
ment of all parts of the body particu
larly the brain and nerve centers
Read the little book The Road to
Wellville found ia each pkc
even should the occasion or necessity
arise
Her childish trust in him became de
stroyed he saw her shrink from him
in terror and abhorrence And this
awakened in him the knowledge that
the as he supposed paternal love he
had been cherishing for the child of
her who had always been his ideal was
not the affection of a father for his
daughter but the love of a man for
a woman
The bitterest potion he had ever
swallowed was now working in his
veins Yet no one would have sus
pected this as he went his way and
for a time with greater recklessness
than before although the rumor men
tioned by Pierre had now become a
fact inasmuch as the governor of Lou
isiana had issued a proclamation offer
ing a reward for Lafittes apprehen
sion
This had come about by reason of a
melee in the bayou Lafourche and
which proved to be the chip which
kindled to a blaze the
ing fire of wrath against the Bara
tarians
When the information was brought
to Lafitte accompanied by a copy of
the proclamation he had without de
lay taken a pinnace and set out for
the extreme southerly side of Grande
Terre upon which was the Count de
Cazeneaus abode
At the sound of Lafittes feet upon
the steps a womans weazened face
wrinkled and scowling its coffee hue
contrasting with wisps of gray wiry
wool showing from beneath a bright
colored bandanna was projected from
one of the numerous doors opening
from the hallway into various rooms
in the two wings of the building
It was apparent that she recognized
the visitor for she came out into the
hall and despite her age advanced
briskly toward him
Ah Zeney there you are looking
as young as ever was his smilingly
spoken greeting
Always you say words Captain
Jean that please even when one
knows they are not true
Lafitte laughed lightly
Is your young mistress well he
inquired
Yes she is well Zeney answered
n a tone implying that more might be
said
AUTm
BY AiY KVEREUX
After the death of Laro a new and
somewhat better order of things pre
vailed among the so called Pirates of
the Gulf
Now under the leadership of
Lafitto alone and with better oppor
tunities for knowing his chivalrous na
ture the larger body of them followed
unquestlouingly his more merciful and
less lawless practices and not a few
of the men actually relished the
changed conditions in which they
found themselves
Garonne who had been given a ves
sel of his own had gathered to him
self the most unregenerate of Laros
followers and entered upon a career
in which he observed the same meth
ods as his former commander with
the result that he was finally brought
to execution together with most of
his crew in a South American port
Life at the Ursuline convent was
for many months a burden to Lazalie
and her whims and caprices made it
but little less so to the mother su
perior and nuns But they with a
lively remembrance of many generous
favors from Lafitte felt that they
must bear patiently with the charge
he had left in their keeping
La Roche as her banker and man
of business came often to see his
fair client and ended by falling in
love with her a fact he was wise
enough to keep to himself AndJater
on he obtained Laflttes consent to
her removal from the convent and
taking a house of her own where
with Maam Brigida and a retinue of
slaves the high strung beauty seemed
more contented
When the summer of 1812 had
brought the Cazeneau household to
their Barataria home there befell
something which struck Lafitte with
a new despair and took from him all
hope of ever being asked to render
little Rosello the smallest service

CHAPTER XV
Is she quite happy Zeney
Happy How could a wild bird be
happy in a qage even if its bars were
made of gold
She was about to continue but La
fitte as if not caring to pursue the
subject asked Is your master here
Zeney nodded and pointed to a
closed door near them He is in there
and alone
Lafitte turning from her knocked
at the door and De Cazeneaus voice
answered Entrez
This the former did leaving the
door ajar
Nato now a tall wiry lad of six
teen and devoted body and soul to
his master was the only one to ac
company him to Grande Terre He
had seated himself upon the steps
but too far away to catch the con
versationbetween Lafitte arid ZeneyV
even had they spoken in a language
ho understood
But he watched them with curious
eyes having often heard of Zeney
and her reputed powers served to
make her an object of awe and aver
sion to him as to most of his class
It was therefore with a sigh of re
lief that he saw her disappear after
his master had gone inside
He remained sitting on the steps
his chin supported by two yellow
palms while a group of young negroes
who had drawn near to gape curiously
at him after the manner of their kind
proceeded to converse in a way evi
dently intended to attract his atten
tion
Instinct rather than any sound
made Nato realize that a presence was
near him and glancing over his shoul
der he saw a girlish white clad form
standing in the doorway through
which Lafitte had passed a few min
utes before Presently he saw one of
her little hands go to her side as if
she had been startled or was experi
encing some strong emotion and she
Her Captain Jean was none other than Lafitte the terrible pirate
stood with bended head as if listen
ing
Nato was still staring at the girl
when she started impetuously and
went hurriedly down the hallway
Led by curiosity the boy jumped to
his feet and saw her descend the
steps of the back gallery and go
swiftly into the woods which seemed
to swallow up the snowy form and
glittering hair swallow them so sud
denly as to leave in the boyssupersti
tious mind an uncomfortable sugges
tion that she was not real flesh and
blood but a sperit or perhaps a
second voudoo priestess
Within the room near whose open
door the girl had stood Lafitte and
Do Cazeneau were having a serious
conversation
Following the custom of the time
De Cazeneau had reached out to ring
a bell for refreshments when Lafitte
with an expressive gesture stayed his
hand
No Msieur le Comte I can tarry
but a very short time only long
enough to impart the very important
j intelligence I came to bring you
ahu ne neiu out a paper he had
drawn from his pocket
The count having put on his
glasses took the document and his
wavering hands made the blue paper
quiver as if his own startled pulse
beats had stolen into it while he read
the contents aloud
Whereas the nefarious practice of
running in contraband goods which
has hitherto prevailed in different
parts of the state to the great injury
of the fair trader and the diminution
of the revenue of the United States
has of late much increased and
said Jean Lafitte and associates but
do call upon them to bo aiding and
abetting in arresting him and said as
sociates and all others in like manner
offending and I do furthermore in
the name of the state offer a reward
of five hundred dollars which will be
paid out of the treasury to any person
delivering the said Jean Lafitte to the
sheriff of the parish of Orleans or to
any other sheriff in the state so that
the said Jean Lafitte may be brought
to justice
The- Island Rose had heard the
greater part of the document read in
her grandfathers voice low to be sure
but with a clear enunciation which
made each syllable as distinct as
though she had been the reader in
stead of a listener And when he
ended she heard the voice of hint
heretofore known to her as Captain
Jean and its tone was one of banter
Well Msieur le Count will you be
the one to claim this five hundred dol
lars and do your governor and state
a brilliant service by delivering to
them this body of mine
Then came her grandfathers stern
ly cold reply
What hay I eves done Captain
Jean LafitteV that should lead you to
suppose I vuld stoop to traffic in the
blood of my associates
It was this that made the small
hand go fluttering toward the girls
frigntened heart It was the revela
tion that her Captain Jean was none
other than Lafitte the terrible pirate
of win she had heard such dreadful
tales He was the freebooter smug
gler and outlaw the leader of that
fearful band of men she had shud
dered to hear the slaves mention
And not only was her grandfather cog
nizant of this but he was this mans
abettor his associate and friend
Her brain in a whirl her heart terri
fied by dread of an undefinable terror
she fled from the house and into the
woods wandering on scarcely know
ing or caring where until her steps
were arrested by the matted thicket
Into which she had penetrated with
unseeing eyes
Now all was revealed to her The
man whom of all others she trusted
in this new strange and fettered
world into which she had been brought
from the peaceful island homo where
life had been happy and free from
fear he was the notorious Lafitte
the Pirate of the Gulf who scuttled
ships who murdered men and women
and whose hands were red with blood
shed that he might plunder his vic
tims

GREAT AUTHOR AT PLAY
Interesting Reminiscences of One Who
Knew Hawthorne
Mrs Sedgwick in A Girl of Six
teen at Brook Farm gives a little
sketch of Hawthorne which shows him
in a pleasant and merry light although
in general she acknowledges the
great author was silent almost tacit
urn One day she was learning verses
to recite at the evening class formed
by Charles A Dana when seeing
Hawthorne sitting immovable and sol
itary on the sofa she daringly thrust
the book in his hands
Will you hear me say my poetry
Mr Hawthorne I said
He gave me a sidelong glance from
his very shy eyes took the book and
most kindly heard me After that he
was on the sofa every week to hear
mo recite
One evenintr he was alone in the
hali sitting on a chair at Uio farther J
end when my roommate and I were
going upstairs She wllispered to me
Lets throw a sofa pillow at Mr
Hawthorne
Reaching over the banisters we
each took a pillow and threw it
Quick as a flash he put out his hand
seized a broom that was hanging near
him warded off our cushions and
threw them back with sure aim As
fast as we could throw them he re
turned them with effect hitting us
every time while we could only hit
the broom He must have been Very
quick in his movements
Through it all not a word was spok
en we laugneu and laughed and his
eyes shone and twinkled like stars
until we went off to bed vanquished
Politeness Pays
Suddenly the man fell He was a
dignified person but as he reached a
sleety corner his feet set down with
precision failed to stay set They
flew so high and the result was so
abrupt that as the man hit the walk
in sitting posture observers expected
to see a spine protrude from the top
of his hat
Two youths had seen the episode
One was a bad youth and unwise
He laughed The other was a good
youth who knew a thing or two He
hastened to pick up the fallen man
Thank you said the man I am
a childless millionaire looking for an
heir Youre it Meantime take this
roll and blow yourself Only one con
dition is attached Dont spend a cent
on that laughing jackass who is with
you
Handing over a 10000 bundle and
giving his hotel address the man went
his way

WAS A BRIGHT YOUNGSTER
President Hadey of Yale Early Ac

It is said of President Arthur T
Hadley of Yale that ho was a scholar
l hiscYadle that he lisped in Latin
when other babies only prattled and
cried in Greek on occasions when tho
ordinary youngster yelled lustily In
Volapuk
A story that gives credence to this
tradition about the famous economist
has just come to the light of day
It was told at a dinner party ot
scholars given recently at a fashion
able house In Boston by one of tho
guests who declared that his fathor
was being entertained at luncheon by
tho elder Hadley the great Greek
scholar on the occasion and that this
had until his fathers death been one
of his most cherished stories
Young Hadley was only four at the
time yet he usually sat at table with
the family when there were guests
excepting on extreme state occasions
At this luncheon during a Httlo lull
in the conversation the child missing
salt from the table called out
Mamma have we any sodium
chloride in that cupboard over there
Why I dont know son replied
his mother
Then before she could say more or
inquire further as to his wants he
turned to his father and asked the
same question in the same way
His father replying in the same sort
of half inquiring manner as had his
mother the boy very naively with
perfect unconsciousness and address
ing nobody in particular said half to
himself
My father doesnt know whether
there is any sodium chloride in that
cupboard or not because he doesnt
know what is In the cupboard and my
mother doesnt know either because
mamma doesnt know what sodium
chloride is

Two or three days after Christmas
as I was journeying along the high
way which follow the French Broad
iiver most of the way through the
Cumberland range I met a native
who halted to ask
Did theyuns down at Whites Cove
make much of a fuss over Christ
mas
No not much I replied They
had a Christmas turkey shoot in the
afternoon and a dance in the even
ing
Many men killed in the after
noon
I didnt hear of any being killed
Jest killed turkeys eh
Thats all
And they had a dance in the even
in he queried after a pause
Yes
Anybody killed at the dance
No everything went off very
pleasantly There was but little drink
ing and no quarreling at all

And cursed with an Inward pain
You may hark as you will by valley or

But you hear him still complain
He wails on the barren mountains
And shrieks on the watery sea
He sobs in the cedar and moans In the
pine
And shudders all over the aspen tree
Welcome are both their voices
And I know not which Is best
Tho laughter that slips from the ocean
lips
Or the comfortless winds unrest
Theres a pang in all rejoicing
A joy In th heart of pain

Lord Chancellor Brady was of a
notoriously convivial temperament
which did not prevent him being an
admirable lawyer when he would
allow his wits to get their heads above
water so to speak though it was lit

spirits
