The forest was darkening with late afternoon shadows as the fleeing party followed, In comparative silence, the tall form that led them. At length the party emerged from the deeper shadows of their wooded way, and came Into a cleared space, where the knoll known as The Owls Point projected into the bayou; and salting here, Lafltte looked about him, while the others stood grouped a little distance away, awaiting quietly his movements. But before he could give the signal to Baptlstlne, whose craft was concealed around the bend of the bi ou, two men burst from the cover of a thicket opposite Lafltte, a gun was leveled at his breast, and a hoarse voice Bhouted, Surrender, you cursed pirate! Rose de Cazeneau, with a wild cry, rushed between the weapon and Lafltte, while Barbe, who had been staring as though he were a ghost at the holder of the gun, echoed the shriek of her mistress. Do not do not shoot your child! she screamed; and, at her words, old 7,eney, who stood nearest the stranger, gave him one searchlug look, and rushed in turn between her mistress tffl r nanded Was ying ott the Owls Point Ptlawaiting the V . v? j m lH'!

A second report mingled so closely wdth the first as to make them seem but one; and Zeney, with the man who had shot her, fell to the ground.

In their surprise and fright, and by reason of the confusion, no one except Lafltte had comprehended any meaning In the words which followed the wild cry of Barbe, who now stood sobbing hysterically, with her arms mistress, around her while Lazalie, with dilating nostrils and blazing eyes, sought to release herself from Madame Rlefet Baptlstlne, who had heard the Bhots, reached the shore In a small boat soon after pulled by some of his crew, of the the at edge appeared Shaplra thick woods from whence had come the bullet that had killed Zeneya slayer. comThe English sailor, at Laflttea arma to mand, now surrendered his freedom.
