CHAPTER XXVII.
Early in December, 1814, Gen. Jack-
Bor. arrived at New Orleans.
Lafltte had, some time before this,
at Shell Island, seen a copy of the
proclamation issued by Jackson while
yet at Mobile, after the general had
received from Gov. Claiborne a full
ble toward Gen. Jackson, who was still
staring at him, as if in wonder at his
youth and appearance.
"I ask, general," he said, "that you,
and you, also, Gov. Claiborne, will ac-
cord me the honor to read the original
documents I received some time ago
from your enemies, and in respect to
statement of the proposition made to which I understand my statement was

to them."
i.afitte's words and manner were full
of stern dignity, and Claiborne made
neither reply nor comment. Jackson,
"Capitulating!" echoed the governor, however, accepted the implied chal-
"Surely, general at this late day, and ' lenge.
in the face of the pledges they have
mt.de, neither the legislature nor the
citizens would return to any such
Idea."
"1 am not so sure of that, if they
were forced, as are you and I, to real-
ize that the enemy outnumbers us ten
or more to one," growled Jackson.
Before the governor—whose back
was to the door—could reply to this
outburst, he became aware that a
third person had entered the room;
rnd he glanced over liis shoulder to
free who it might be, while his face
showed the irritation he felt at any
one presuming to interrupt him at
Euch a time.
But his expression changed to one of
mingled anger and consternation; and
Jackson, who had been sternly re-
"Have you neveT been accused of
smuggling, and slave-trading, Capt.
J^afitte, and of being a privateer?" he
asked, in a tone of dry sarcasm.
"Accused, yes; but never convict-
ed," was the quick reply. "I was
cnce, as Gov. Claiborne will tell you,
indicted; but I was tried before an
impartial judge, and acquitted by a
jury composed of tho foremost citi-
zens of the state."
Jackson's face expressed surprise,
end he glanced inquiringly at Clai-
borne, who nodded, as if in affirmation
of the statement. Then tho former,
again turning his stern eyes upon La-
fltte, asked, "How is it with you in re-
gard to privateering?"
"l^et me ask how it is with you, Gen.
Jackson, and with your owu country,

who l as had his own share of hard- 1

Lafltte bent his head silently.

impatiently, now hastened to sac,

"And yet,' said Lafltte, with dry
sarcasm that brought a faint smile to
Jackson's flriu lips, "you are the gov-
ernor of Louisiana."
Claiborne winced; but before he
could answer tho thrust Lafltte add-
ed, with a shrug of his shoulders,

tion the outrage was committed. The
facts are as I have stated, and what

It is estimated that

liminary work in the new country; J.
11. Thoburn, secretary of the board of
agriculture; Delegate Bird S. Mc-
Gilire, C. G. Jones of Oklahoma City
addressed th<5 convention.
The great interest in irrigation In
southwestern Oklahoma was made
forcibly apparent by the fact that al-
though the season has been wet and
lock ward, and farmers generally have
r ason to remain at homo and Im-
prove the opportunity presented by
>k, and line weather to enable them to catch

"Surely Gen. Jackson will not fire upon an unarmed

feet.
After bowing respectfully, the new-
comer stood .silent, while his black
eyes searched with curious intentness
the stern face of Gen. Jackson, whose
r ght hand had stolen into the breast
of his coat.
The governor, who had risen when
tie saw the key turned in the door,
i ow made a step or two toward the
chair where lay his sword; but the
stranger, picking up the weapon be-
fore Claiborne could reach it, present-
ed it to the latter with a graceful bow,
coupled with a courteous "Permit me,
fir."
Then, turning quickly to Jackson,
lie added, extending both arms to their
full length, either side of him, "Sure-
ir regard to privateering?" And a
curl of scorn touched I.afltte's lips.
•'Tell m», I pray you, sir, how many
scores of vessels, flying the flag of the
I cited States, are, at this moment,
[reying upon foreign commerce?"
"But only upon tho commerce of
Great Britain, with whom we aro at
war," declared Jackson, his grim feat-
ures relaxed—but only for an instant
—by a satisfied smile; "and they are
act ing upder regular letters of marque
and reprisal."
"True; and the vessels In which I
have been Interested acted under let-
ters of marque from the Republic of
C'artbagena, and sailed under the flag
of that nation. Never, since I con-
trolled them, have they interfered with
the ships of any nation excepting
ly Gen. Jackson will not fire upon an Spain, with whom, as von are aware
unarmed man!" And he advanced to j the Republic of Carthagena is at war.'
"Sophomorical rubbish! Savors of
Eton, with some of George tho Third's
silly maunderings." And so on, until
the end was reached.
Claiborne had seated himself closer
to Jackson; and presently, tho latter,
with an exclamation of the strongest
disgust, handed him the paper.
"litre, Claiborne, you have seen a
copy of this; hut you had better reJ
fresh your memory by reading the
original."
The governor took the paper, and;
1 ad begun to read it, when, chancing
to glance at Lafltte, he was puzzled by
the expression of tho latter's face.
He was leaning back in his chair,
his lips- half-parted, and his face soft-
ened by a glow seeming to come from
an inward light, as his eyes rested
upon something hanging against the
wall, back of tho governor.
It was an old engraving of Napol-
eon, one that, as the governor knew,
v as brought from Barataria by a sol-
dier from whom he—an ardent admir.
cr of the emperor—had rescued It.
The thought of this made him—in
the new light thrown by i.afltte's ac-
cusations with reference to the attack
upon Barataria—feel uncomfortable;
for, should Lafltte recognize the pic-
ture as his own property, its presenl
possessor would be placed in an unen-
viable position.
He had forced his eyes back to the.
paper, whose contents he recalled
lopment of this region.
The address of Mr. Camp briefly
sketched the policy of the federal gov-
ernment relative to irrigation con-
struct ion, told something of his own
work In the territory and what he had
found in tho way of feasible reservoir
sites, and was of special Interest to
all present. Mr. Camp has the confi-
dence of all of the people who are fa
miliar with the dilligence and fidelity
with which he has pursued bis work.
All of the oth 1 r speakers assured
the people of their interest In the
great proposition now being presented
to <he people of southwestern Oklaho-
ma and of their willingness to aid in
every possible way to push It to a
successful conclusion.
Other meetings are to be held at
Altus, Mountain Park and this place
to further agitate the question of irri-
gation development an 1 educate the
people in regard to the benefits of tho
same to the end that there may be
such unity of action as to insure suc-
cess.
Major MeCowan, a brother of
Colonel MeCowan who was in charge
<-f tho Chilocco Indian schools, prr-
slded over tho meeting. With his
brother, he has an alfalfa tract or
land, consisting of five hundred acres.

that, pirate and outlaw as he had been !
named, the Baratarian leader had j
shown tho greatest generosity and
patriotism, together with a personal 1
courage which appealed strongly to
his—the governor's—sense of loyalty.
Possessed bv this feeling, he glanced
again at the younger man. to see him
still looking in the same direction, ap-
parently oblivious of all surroundings,
while his rapt expression made tho
governor wonder.
Jean Lafitte's heart was In com-
n union with that pictured face, and

time affection.

Gov. Claiborne's face had reddened
angrily as he took his sword from the
fGranger's bands and replaced It on the
chair; and Jackson's expression
changed somewhat, as. with "Assur-
edly not, sir," he withdrew his hand
from the pistol.
"I beg, gentlemen, that you will par-
don my Intrusion," said the unknown
visitor, "until you shall hear the ob-
ject of my mission. And I pray you
to believe that I come here for no
ether reason than a desire to be of
use to you, and to the country both
of you serve."
"May we know your name, sir?"
inquired Claiborne, stiffly, and with a
haughtiness of manner in which there
was no sign of softening.
"I am the man whom your excellen-
cy has been pleased to proclaim an
outlaw, and for whoso capture you
have offered a reward of five hundred
dollars; the man"—now fixing his
piercing eyes upon Jackson's face—
"whom, with his followers, you. sir,
have branded as 'hellish banditti,' and
an the 'pirates of Barataria.' I am
Jean Lafltte."
"You are a bold man, Capt. Lafltte,
to venture into New Orleans, to say
r.othing of presenting yourself here,"
was the governor's unconciliatory re-
sponse.
Lafltte bowed, as if acknowledlng a
compliment, and drawing a package
from his breast, held it across the ta-
Jackson was silent, and glanced
soowlingly at Claiborne, who was tap-
ping the tabled abstractedly, and ap-
peared absorbed by his own refec-
tions.
"I thank you, general," lafltte
resumed, speaking with less em-
phasis, "for tho opportunity you have
give me to explain these matters.
And, without going into them any far-
ther, I wish to assure you once more
that my former ofTer was made from
legitimate and patriotic motives."
Jackson bowed, as if in acquies-
cence.
"But," demanded Lafltte, a sudden
rush of indignation sounding in his
\oice, "how was It received? My mo-
tives were impugned—my statements
branded as false; my mesnengers were
Imprisoned. And. as a fitting sequence
to this, an armed expedition was sent
to Barataria; my men were butchered,
or taken prisoners; my vessels seized,
fcnd my property destroyed. In addi-
tion to this, and harder than all else,
my foster-brother, after being mor-
tally wounded, was brought to New
Orleans, thrown into the common gaol,
and left there, to die."
Ijifltte had been standing all this
time. But now, as he finished speak-
ing, he seated himself and folded his
arms, while his face took an expres-
sion of stoical indifference contrasting
sharply with the impassioned words
that had just poured from his lips.
Jackson and Claiborne looked at one

he was attending a Whig celebration

met him. He was a good-looking old
man, with a large, well-shaped head,
blue eyes and mild expression His

evolence.
I asked him if he had any children.
"Oh, yes, I have two sons," he r&
plied.

you"
The old man's smooth brow wrin-
kled into a semblance of a frown as
he said:
"I didn't, want to be plagued with

A Tale of Suffering.
Oakley. Mich., May 8th.—(Special)
—"I could not sleep or rest In any
place," says Florence Capen of fhis
place in a recent interview, "I had a
fain In my back and hips. If I sat
down I could not get up out of my
chair. I was in pain all the time. 1
got poor for I did not eat enough to
keep a small child. I could not rest
nights.
"Then I sent for a box of Dodd'3
Kidney Pills and went to taking
them and what do you think, that very
night I went to bed and I slept till
morning. I got up and thanked God
for the night's rest and Dodd's Kid-
ney Pills. I know that Dodd's Kid-
ney Pills are all that is claimed for
them."
This Is only one of the numerous
experiences that show the way to
build up run down people is to cure
the kidneys. Thousands of people ,'n
every state bear witness to the fact
that Dodd's Kidney Pills never fail to
cure the kidneys.

the like It is peerless.
I regard It as an old friend and a
true one.
Mrs. Enla Preslad,

A woman who will laugh at a
preacher's joke cannot see the point
of her husband's, and the woman who
thinks her husband's jokes are funny
finds it hard to laugh politely at the
preacher's.—Atchison Globe.
