Tbere was a smouldering anger in
I-afitte s eyes as he turned then epos
Laro's mocking face.
I told yon tiat tie Indian runner.
Bird-Wing came from his tribe to
Count de Cazeneau. bringing a letter
from Mrs, Stanley, imploring bis for-
giveness. as she was dying, and !*-
*ee*bjng h.s protection for the daagfc
ter she must ieave among tie Indians.
He asked for my services, and I gave
them gladly, for his daughters sake."
Lafitte looked steadily at Laro, who
in a mocking tote asked "Did you
6od her still such a charming demoi
w *gp I dare swear yon did not. if
there be truth in the reports that the
Englishman left her long ago—left
her to wear out ier life among their
red aeigbbors." '
Lafitte rose and went over to the
port hole, turning his back as be an
swered, "I found her dead, with the
Indians mourning for her as for one
well loved Her child, with her maid.

"I fear Garcnr.e make harm f0r a«L"

answer. "Well up sail at midnight
