Jarvis looked about at the polished teak, the heavily carpeted floors; he shook his head. This Is a dream," he muttered, and still we must awaken! After Napoleon when our threescore musket-me- n have come scrambling up the St Helena crags, filched the emperor from their snoozing guards and cutlassed a way to sea again what then? Old Bosslere, Monsieur GIrod, and the other spirits of this venture, before we seized the ship, had every point worked out," explained De Even the plans of the Island and the English lookouts. Even block and tackle and chair to hoist the emperor from out the St. Helena cliffs to our waiting longboats if needful. Doctor Antomarchi, Napoleons own physician, and Marshal Bertrand, his friend In exile, are aware of our purpose and expectant. Everything Is cared for It Is only for us to put through what the gentry of New Orleans had plotted. Except, mused Jarvis, the lady who once looked back at me from the coach . . . and threescore cut throats brawling on these decks The Captain Jean looked gravely off to the shimmering sea. Dominique Ah, yes after Napoleon sighed. what? Gentlemen, the future of you all has been a concern to my mind, said Lafitte gravely. And as he was speaking on, there came a hall from the forward lookout; and then Beluche, the deck officer, at the companionway. A ships light, sir Sou by east, lying out o the wind She is not within hailing? The master started to his feet. No, sir. And we have little air to come up with. But the longboats, sir The thing might be done in a trice this very night, unless she undertakes to repel our parley !' She will hardly give In to our demands." Lafitte followed to the quarter-rail. The twinkle of the stranger ' showed through the moonlight. But h both ships were lying In the great of the Mississippi waters though many miles from the sight of land. Lay to, sir, and keep her In eye. .We can do nothing without a bit of ' wind. We shall request the restoration of Mademoiselle Lestron peaceably before we consider boarding the bark. The master turned below again. Johanness went forward grumbling. The light of battle was In his eye. Off this pass he had taken his last Spaniard fifteen years ago with eighty thousand dollars to be divided among bis crew at the Grand Terre fort of the buccaneers which was not a days sail westward on the Louisiana coast. And the party In the emperors cabin heard a hoarse shout from the 1 1 1 out-rus- le hood. A ship, bullies! And we lay here with the old Itch to be alongside! What do the gentlemen aft propose for her, eh mates? Beluche showered imprecations upon the speaker. There was a yell or two, said the commander. I am Lafitte again not Monsieur Sazarac!

The English woman first after that, as It Is Monsieur de Almonasters honor to 'his fellow citizens of Louisiana for Bonaparte. And then The seas are wide," grimaced Jarvis with a look at the master which drew, In turn, a glance of Impenetrable reserve. i' -- CHAPTER X The Long Chase. At dawn the Seraphine lay In a flat pink sea, with, not a mile to the eastward, the dingy moll of the Mississippi outpour still visible. The canvas hung wet and limp. The Idle steersman listened to Beluches Impatient comments as he held the glass off to the growing light. "Beggars luck ! The river drift has been with her. She Is all but topsl down with some capful of wind that we never saw! W1 the sun," growled Nez Coupe, we shall find our breeze." Yes, but this matter cannot wait. Some Yankee clipper may put out on our trail! We cannot tell what Is brewing after this affair." De Almonaster and the captain joined them before breakfast. True, a topsail breeze came with the sun, and the Seraphine began to draw out of the detaining eddies of the delta drift. The gentlemen had no more than settled to their morning coffee when the monotonous cry of the lookout was repeated. Beluche came with his report. The stranger has picked a better wind, sir, and has come about, making souwest, and running fair. Good ! She will not make the Florldas then and draw us Into the path of the traffic. It will be a good ship today that we do not haul up with." I have ordered the chase guns It shotted," muttered the admiral. may take a carronade across her bows to make her lay to. Eh, blen! You will see old eyes shine as they take to the lanyard! , De Almonaster cried out exultantly when he followed to the deck. The first poke of the breeze laid the good ship smartly over, and the snap of the answering canvas, drew a shout from the crew. Every bully of them out to see! cried Baoul. A lot of schoolboys minded to rob an orchard! The first eighteen-pounde- r let go will be music to old ears, Monsieur ! And they may dance on air to It, afterward. Lafitte turned quietly to the younger man. I have had a sleepless night. Monsieur de Almonaster. It appears to be largely yourself.

Presently the admiral came aft under the limp hang of the Beraphlnes snowy new canvas. There are some hardheads, slrj Already they are dicing It for the first choice o plunder from the Genaron. The woman, they agree, is yours ! retorted Lafitte Dc they think, Sternly, that this Is the time of Morgan come again? The silence grew upon them all. The Dominique sighed once more.

She looked hack and laughed there was old John Jarvis, very drunken in the broad day, hanging to a lamp-pos- t, his stock behind his ear and a bottle sticking from fils coat.

Who was ever your friend in the old ' Much is now being said and written In regard to good roads. Some one has said it Is a very serious question for the people In every section of the country to consider. That Is my sentiment also, says a writer In an exchange. Whatever kind of material Is used in the construction of the road, be It concrete, brick or sand and gravel, it Is being built with a view for all time to come, therefore the location of the road Is a very Important matter to be considered. Are we going to follow the old trail that our forefathers blazed for themselves through the forest, which now looks, Secrecy Impossible. since the timber has been taken ott, Do you believe in secret like a cowpath angling through the macy? farm? The traveler is bewildered to No, sir, replied Mr. Meekton; "It know what direction he Is going. Isnt practical. Id like to see em keep No, let the roads now be located on anything from Henrietta If she makes n section and lines when It up her mind to find out just what is possible to do so. Even if It costs theyre talking about. more It will pay for several reasons. It will add so much to the looks of the farm and country. It will avoid much danger from automobile traffic which Is on the increase every year. It Is easier to construct a road on a straight line than on a curve. And last but not least we are building new roads for the future. Some day farms will be made Into smaller tracts with the roads located on section lines and they will then be easy of access. Let us consider well the future Importance of the location of the road before we commence building for It will mean much to us now and the future generations. If good roads mean so much to the country let us make them as straight as possible, eliminating short curves and sharp corners and we will have a road easy to follow with less danger. Aspirin Say Bayer and Insist! and not weight Is what ruins the roads. It is the impact, or hammer blow, of unsprung weights at excessive speeds that starts eracks, widens fissures and knocks the holes In our concrete. This has been proved by A. T. Goldbeek, engineer of tests of the department of public roads. Extensive tests, made for the government, showed the following: Impact or destructive blow Increases approximately with the square of the speed. Two trucks, for example, one running at ten miles an hour, the other at twenty. Although the latter Is going only twice as fast as the former It will deliver about four times blow. the This blow, for the great part, can be directly attributed to the design of ,the truck. A test showed a chain-drive-n truck delivered only 68 per cent of the destructive road- - impact that was delivered by a three-totruck of a different design, carrying the same load and driven at the same speed. "It Is nof weight, but speed. And not only speed, but the speed of the unsprung weight It Is the hammer blow which destroys. These facts are very significant for they show that the gross load of the truck is not the only factor which Influences the pressure of the wheels of the truck on the road surface. It Is possible to have vastly different Impact pressures exerted on the road by two different trucks both having the same gross weight, but having differ ent distribution of their sprung apd unsprung weights, and when the questions of road designs are to be considered, the actual wheel pressure on the road is the thing rather than the gross load of the truck.

They are calling the bullies up for some matter. Johanness had tumbled the watches out and along the port rail, when the two came behind Lafitte who was addressing the straggling lines. There was much unsteady peering and bending; and then reprimanding growls from the older dogs. The captain Stow that talk I speaks ! roared Beluche, Silence, there! and a man mutters he gets the cat! This is a ship, mind you not a drinking bout I N Lafitte raised his hand : men I have First, already told you of the object of this venture, which has, for the end, the rescue of the Emperor Bonaparte from St. Ielena.

One night, after a hard day's work, my bunkie drew a package from home, one of those mysterious affairs that might contain everything but what you wanted. After due ceremonies of guessing he opened it and the first thing we Baw was the blue box of Edgeworth. All further operations ceased until we filled the pipes. After using the French taboo for several weeks ana burning our mouthi and throats to a raw state you can imagine how cool and satisfying that Edgeworth tasted to us. We smoked until we were ordered to bed, and I fell asleep smoking. You can just bet a letter went home for more Edgeworth.
