She had always depended upon Alice

In her troubles, but in the present case
there was not much that her friend
could do to cheer her. With NJ. Ror.s-
sillon and Rene both fugitives, tracked
by willy savages, price on their heads,
while every day added new dangers to
the French inhabitants of Vincennes,
no rosy view could possibly be taken
Of the situation. Alice did her best,
however, to strengthen her little
friends faith In happy outcome. She
quoted what she considered unimpeach-
able authority to support her optimistic
argument.
"Lieutenant Beverley says that the
Americans will be sure to drive Hamil-
ton out of Vincennes or capture him.
Probably they are not so very far
away now, and Rene may join them
and come back to help punish these
brutal Englishmen. Don't you wish he
would, Adrienne? Wouldn't it be ro-

adored Rene and wanted him near her.
'Why couldn't he be quiet and do as

she cried in a sudden change Of mood,
the tears streaming down her cheeks.
Lieutenant Beverley surrendered and
took the consequences. He didn't kill
somebody and run of to be hunted like

Alice. I'd be happy, too, If Rene were

Such beginning Of his administra-
ton Of affairs at Vincennes did not put
Hamilton into a good humor He was
overbearing and irascible at best, and
under the irritation Of small but ex-
ceedingly unpleasant experiences he
made life we'll nigh uncomfortable to
those upon whom his dislike CHANGED to
fall. Beverley quickly felt that it was
going to be very difficult for him and
Hamilton to get along agreeably. With
Helm it was quite different; smoking,
drinking, playing cards, telling good
stor1es-in a word, rude and not infre-
quently boisterous conviviality drew
MIN and the commandant together.
Under Captain Farnsworth's imme-
date supervision the fort was soon in
excellent repair and a large blockhouse
and comfortable quarters for the men
were built Every day added to the
strength of the works and to the i'm
portance of the post as a strategic DO
sition for the advance guard of the
British army.
Hamilton was ambitious to prove
himself conspicuously valuable to his
country. He was dreaming vast dreams
and laying large plans. Tie indians
were soon anxious to gain his favor,
and to bind them securely to him he
offered liberal pay in rum and fire
arms, blankets. trinkets and ammuni-
ton for the scalps of rebels. He kept
this as secret as possible from his pris-
oners. but Beverley soon suspected that
a traffic in hair" as the terrible busi-
ness had been named. was going on.
Savages came in from far away with
scalps yet scarcely dry dangling at
their belts. 1t made the young Vir-
ginian's blood chill in his heart, and
he regretted that he had given Hamil-
ton his parole of honor not to attempt
to escape.
Among the Indians occasionally re-
porting to Hamilton with their CHASTITY
but valuable trophies was Long Hair,
who slipped into the fort and out again
rather warily. not having much conf
dence in those Frenchmen who had
once upon time given him a mem
orable run for his life.
Winter shut down, not cold, but
damp, changeable, raw. The work on
the fort was nearly completed, and
Rene de Ronville would have soon been
relieved of his servile and exasperat-
Ing employment under the Irish cor
poral. but just at the point of time
when only few days work remained
for him he became furious, on account
OF an insulting remark, and struck the
corporal over the head with a hand
spike. This happened in wood some
miles from town, where he was loading
logs upon sled. There CHANGED to

deed was done, and some hours passed
