CHAPTER vi.

a FEW days after Helms ar.
"a rival NJ. RoussillOn returned
"A to Vincennes, and If he was
sorely touched in his amour
propre by seeing his suddenly acquired
military rank and title drop away he
did not let it be known to his fellow
citizens. He promptly called upon the
new commander and made acquaint-
ance with Lieutenant Fitzhugh Bever-
ley, who just then was experimenting
the work of cleaning up an old cannon
i'm the fort and mending some breaks
in the -tockade.
Helm formed a great liking for the
big Frenchman, whose breezy freedom
of manner and expansive good lumor
struck him favorably from the begin
ming. Nj. Roussillons ability to speak
English with considerable ease helped
the friendship along, no doubt; at all
events their first interview ended win
a hearty show of good fellowship, and
as time passed they became almost In
separable companions during NJ. Rous-
sillon's periods of rest from his trading
excursions among the Indians. They
played cards and brewed hot drinks
over which they told marvellous stories,
the latest one invariably SURPRISING all
its predecessors.
Helm had an eye to business, ana
turned NJ. Roussillon's knowledge OF
the Indians to valuable account, so
that he soon had very pleasant rela'
tions with Aost of the tribes within
reach of his agents. This gave feel.
ing of great security to the people OF
yincennes. They pursued their mar
row AGRICULTURAL activities with excel.
lent results and redoubled those social
payeties which, even in hut and cabin
under all the adverse conditions OF ex'
treme frontier life, were dear to the
volatile and genial French tempera'
ment.
Lieutenant Beverley found much tc
interest him in the quaint town, Du'

The Whole Story.

In opening an admirable address on
sValue of Waste Products" at Bruins
wick. Hon. j. A. Roberts of Norway
laid down the whole lesson in his open
ing sentence and it is one well worth
remembering. Said he: "The man
who begins to weigh and test, begins to
grow. to reach out after higher things"
Here it is in every walk in life, the man
who begins to seek to compass the more
difficult and intricate problems is the
one to make mental growth and secure
a clearer insight into the great lessons
which to-day confront the toiler every
where. Bro. Roberts found the truth
of this in his own experience and the
lesson he pointed out was OF value to
averv listener.-Maine Farmer.

DENIED BAIL TO TlLLMAN.

without prejudice to. the defendant Chief
Justice Rope Of South Carolina has denied /
bail to James n. Tnln1an, charged with the /
murder Of Editor Gonzales.
Murder Is the taking OF human life with |
malice afrrethought," remarked the jurist. |
and with the oath Of office so recently upon
his lips he must deny the application.
The remark Is evidently in answer to
tremendous pressurei which the Judge was
made to feel in one way or another by the
Influential friends Of Tillman. It is not to
be assumed that any one was so bold as to
approach him directly with an appeal, but
Tillman has powerful political backing in
South Carolina. and, as judges are human
Justice Pope must have been made ac-
quanted with the desire for Tillmans re-
lease and must have counted the possible
effect Of an adverse decision.
At the same time there was great pop
ular pressure on the other side, and II re-
ouired heroic resolution to move unfalter-
lngly between these fiercely oontending ele-
nents alongsthe line OF legal definition and
ofhGiakoath.
To the laymAn reading the evidence of
the afhdavits submitted In the hearing II
appears that Tillman completely failed to
show any justification for the homicide. On
the other hand the evidence is direct that
he had upon more than one occasion threat.
