CURRENT
WEEK
FARM FREIGHT CUT ORDERED
Interstate Body Directed by Senate to
Adjust Tariff.
Washington, D. C. Urged by the
farm bloc, a joint resolution was quick
ly adopted by the senate Monday
directing the Interstate commerce
commission to adjust freight rates to
relieve depression in any basic in
dustry, particularly agriculture. It
was adopted with virtually no debate,
Senator King, democrat, Utah, alone
questioning the wisdom of the policy.
Farm relief legislation is an out
standing issue in congress with the
farm bloc standing against an adjourn
ment until some measure is enacted to
aid agriculture. The first fight will
be made on the McNary-Haugen bill,
which will come to a test soon. If
this measure fails the bloc Is prepared
to champion the Norris-Slnclalr bill,
while the Curtis-Aswell bill is in the
offing and may receive attention, al
though It has not been reported by the
senate agriculture committee.
The rate adjusting resolution was
Introduced by Senator Smith, demo
crat, South Carolina, chairman of the
Interstate commerce committee, and
was supported by Senator Cummins,
republican, Iowa, who explained the
purpose of the resolution was to give
the support of congress to the inter
state commerce commission to use
the authority now vested In It,
Spokesmen for the farm bloc said
the resolution would mark a great step
forward In aiding the farmer, In that
quick, cheap transportation would be
afforded for farm products.
Senator Capper, republican, Kansas,
one of the farm bloc spokesmen, In a
statement said he would oppose ad
journment of congress until a "leal
effort has been made to help the farm
ers of this country."
"Pending now in congress are four
measures for farm relief," the state
ment continued. "Three are designed
to assist In the stabilizing ot farm
prices not In arbitrary fixing of farm
prices as they are often deliberately
misrepresented. They propose to try
to restore a parity between farm
prices and general commodity prices
approximating the ratio that existed
during the pre-war years. Anyone of
these measures will be of great assist
ance to farmers."

CAPTASN SAZARAC
CHAPTER XVI Continued.
21
Monsieur Dominique was looking
about vacantly when there came a
hall from the forward lookout, Clark,
who had spent the hour aloft.
"Sail Ho! On the weather bow!"
Old Dominique lurched up stiffly.
De Almonaster came from his furious
pacing amidships. Monsieur Sazarac,
presently, from the cabin. The gen
tlemen gathered about the master's
sea-glass. After a while he picked It
up clearly.
'A Yankee and a sloop-of-war, I
think. She Is laying a course to cross
os." Sazarac looked about with some
concern.
"American!" cried Raoul eagerly.
"Then break out the Jack, and run up
the national colors also! This Is an
American ship!"
Sazarac glanced at him oddly. It ap
peared some sentiment was struggling
with expediency. But when Clark come
down he was sent to hoist the starred
flag of the Washington republic.
"This Is a hard nut to crack," grum
bled Dominique. "The story this
schooner holds. Not a document
aboard . . . and you Jean !"
Mademoiselle Lestron had turned a
glad tired face to the stranger's sail;
nhe did not hear a sudden conference.
"It will not do for them to see him,"
muttered Monsieur Sazarac. "Nor
Mademoiselle Lestron to see, him. He
Is roaring his chanteys he is telling
of his sea fight he names us all of the
old crew, one by one."
"There goes a signal gun." Raoul was
watching the strange sail, and ' the
slender figure of Louise Lestron wav
ing an arm as though the Yankees
might see. "They mean for us to lay
to. Now, we will have to explain."
Mademoiselle hsd run back to them.
tier eyes sparkling Joyously. She heard
the young man's last word, and ber
keen eyes noted the constrained silence
thst had fallen on them.
"Your fellow countrymen, Messieurs
of Louisiana 1 A rescue . . . what
Is the matter? What la there to ex
plain? This ship, a victim of muti
neers?" She glanced from them to the sloop-
of-war sailing swiftly, wind a beam, to
cross the bows of the Sersphlne. Al
ready, at her masthead, they could see
the flag of the North republic.
'The Napoleon plot," the English
woman guesred. "Well that a ship of
his majesty might seize you all, but I
have not heard that the Yankees have
ever interfered seriously In this mad
ness of New Orleans to free Na
poleon?"
"The emperor," said Monsieur Saza
rac darkly, but with his smile, "Is In
his bed with his boots on !"
The Seraphtne was coming around
and up In the wind with a clatter of
blocks and snapping cloth. Dominique
sighed wearily. There was nothing
else to do. Monsieur Sazarac, after
that last enigmatic Jest, looked grave
ly at the other vessel.
"The Hornet" he shrugged: ."Com
modore Riddle's famous sloop of the
British war. Lay-to, heRrtles! You
are boarding mate worthy of a chase
If we had other than dead sallormen
forward of the mnst !"
Dominique watched him sorrowfully.
For them all, save Jean Lafitte, there
might be explanation, pardon ; perhaps.
even praise for a gallant exploit.
"She Is up In the wind also," mut
tered De- Almonaster. "I see a boat
swinging off, and a smart lieutenant's
head gear. Now, Monsieur Sazarac "
"It depends upon who may be In the
Yankee boarding party," suld the other
Indifferently. "There msy be old
beads there who know me well."
Monsieur Sazurac's short laugh
stung the hothead aguln. He crossed
to him at the rail. "Monsieur Sazarac,
It Is Idle to say 1 will not betray you.
There Is no one her who can or will,
except . . . what Is John Jarvls
saytng now?"
"He Instructed, just now: 'Jean
Lafitte, fetch the sea boots of Monsieur
tiszarac' "
"Perdition T fumed De Almonaster,
"He will hang you yet ! He will hang
you yet even at the last !"
"A word front him from any one
naturally" Monsieur Sazarac took
his snuff composedly. "Kb, blent II

A hall hsd mm from the (mill boat

Then presently, after m difficulty,
young American lieutenant climbed
ever the nil. He stared bewtlderedly
down the empty waist of the schooner
first, sod then to the llttl group by
By CHARLES TENNEY JACKSON
the wheel where Monsieur Dominique
Idly hung. ,
"Sir, my compliments, and those of
Captain Dallas of the American sloop,
Hornet but we have orders to stop all
sailing craft In the gulf and make in
quiry. Besides we saw you were sail
ing with some trouble very short-
manned end hard-used. It might be.
You are sir?"
Captain Gaspar Sazarac, sir acting
master." He bowed and stepped nearer
with an assuring smile. The Seraphlne
Is largely the property of this gentle
man, Monsieur de Almonaster of New
Orleans. The lady, sir, Is a British
subject, whom we took under stress.
The victims of a mutiny, sir as you
will see if you look about. I will make
you a full report of the affair in writ
ing, if you wish, sir."
The American lieutenant was. In
deed, looking about with some curi
osity. He saw bullet-riven woodwork
and torn sail cloth . . . perhaps
even rimming crusts of red along the
scuppers. Then he smiled. Dominique
gave a soft whistle of relief. The Hor
net, then had not sailed from New
Orleans. The officers did not yet know
of the affair at the Place d'Armes !
Lieutenant Ramsey's smile deepened
upon the gentlemen :
"I can guess, sir! Monsieur de Al
monaster Is known In Baltimore and
Charleston. And this schooner1 the
Seraphlne, the famous ship that was to
take Napoleon!"
A stir and a shout had come from the
Yankee seamen over the rail.
"The Glrod ship! I saw her at
Charleston ere she was purchased !" i
"Aye the ship bought by the gentle
men of New Orleans! There Is no
faster In the Indies I"
The lieutenant still smiled doubt
fully : "Monsieur de Almonaster, I can
assure you you do not appear very
dangerous 1"
'We speak the truth, sir!" Raoul ad
vanced eagerly, catching at the knowl
edge that the Americans knew nothing
of the stealing of the Seraphlne. "Our
mission ended In mutiny disaster, as
you see about us. Will you detain us,
sir? Has Washington ordered any ac
tion against our purpose?"
The officer bowed . . . even he,
as Mademoiselle Lestron noticed, ap
peared to be Inwardly amused :
"But last week, Monsieur de Al
monaster, It might have done so on cer
tain representations of the king's am
bassador. But now, both England and
America are relieved of this mo
mentous Issue. For when we left
Charleston a clipper had Just arrived
from Liverpool with dispatches. Gen
tlemen of the Seraphlne, your Tantastlc
dream Is over. The Emperor Bonaparte
Is dead."
Monsieur Sazarac shrugged as If It
was a matter of no moment to a sail
ing maste- for the New Orleans gen
try. Dominique, alone, gave way to
emotion. He blew his red nose loudly.
"Eh old Bony! Name o' G dl
now I will have to go back to mulling
over street contracts with the Mayor
Roulfilgnac I"
"You are therefore absolved from
oil duty In the affair," continued Lieu
tenant Ramsey with some Irony. "It
Is very apparent that a vessel crippled
a is the Seraphlne by a mutiny which,
luckily, you had the gallant fortune
to put down. Is In no way fit for a
lady. Captain Dallas will be pleased
to receive her, and any of the rest
who wish transfer, and take you to
New Orleans on the Hornet. Mon
sieur de Almonaster has a wound
which needs a surgeon. Can we serve
you, gentlemen, In this?"
"Naturally you will require a re
port In writing," suggested Monsieur
Sazarac.
"At your leisure. Monsieur." The
lieutenant turned away a If to give
the refugees a moment to confer upon
the matter.
Dominique found chance to pull the
sleeve of Monsieur Bazarae. "You
cannot go to the Hornet, Jean! There
will be older seamen there who will
recognize you. Your head Is not
worth Belucht's glmrrack cockade.
Nor In New Orleans either I
'Mademoiselle Lestron will accept

She turned Joyously to him, "Why,

"You hear?" murmured Bum rue te

"No no Monsieur; On the Hor
net"
On the Hornet," repeated Captain
Sazarac quietly.
Raoul stopped with a remembrance
of Sazarac shadowing his exuberance.
"Ah, yes! I see," he went on slowly.
"Norn de Dleu ! It would be the same
for you the Seraphlne following In
the wake of the Hornet to New Or
leans! Monsieur Sazarac Ah,
welll" He shrugged helplessly: "I
cannot think what to do for Monsieur
Sazarac !"
The girl could not understand, of
course. Monsieur Sazarac bowed with
some satire.
'This phantom Sazarac I How It
haunts your happiness, Monsieur de
Almonaster! Dispel It with a word!
A gesture!"
The younger man came to him with
a gesture, Indeed, but of some humble
grief. "I have stood aside. I have
spoken no word of love to her . . ,
I have held my honor. The look In
her eyes I have seen that Is for you
today, If I cannot win It fairly 1"
"There," murmured Sazarac. "See?
She Is looking Into the cabin curious
ly! Eh, a woman! Fascinated by
mystery this or that ghost. Come,
be the man, Raoul! Call the lieuten
ant's guard. . . I am Jean Lafitte I"
"This sword of mine would be at th
throat of any man who breathed that
name upon this ship. That Is my
honor still Sazarac."
"Come! Name of the devil! The
lieutenant Is fidgeting he must be
back to report this matter. Why,
what Is the matter with you?" growled
Sazarac Impatiently. "Take what Is .

Honor? bah ! Go down In the em

long enough, and has tired of It. He
has, In fact, now called on me to b '
on honest man. It must be Lafitte,
the outlaw, who has the lady' fancy
not a chivalrous Sazarac. And the
Jester rules. Monsieur he ha com
to command at last!"
Monsieur De Almonaster appeared
not to understand the other's laughter
which must conceal so much of pain.
Jarvls must not see her then," he
muttered. "There would be no sense
to that!"
Sazarac took the young man's un-
wounded arm end turned him firmly
toward the Hornet lying up In the
wind astern. "Come I, too, am a
ghost. Sazarac Is a ghost he never
did exist" And then the old somber
look of Lafitte, the fugitive, came to
his eyes : "I tell you, Raoul, If we had
not Just learned that Bonaparte wa
dead, I would have tried for a last
desperate venture of the last man of
my Infamous lot to seize Napoleon.

"You love her, then," muttered D
Almonaster, "that Is plain"
"Too well to have her see me swing
In air at the end. Of course that will
be the end" be said composedly:
"and she will know I played a rol for
her merely, I could not be Satarao

"You glv her up because there ts no

other slowly, "Ah, yes! I am sorry,
