and torn to shr&s by savage hands.
1t was the tragedy of a single moment

She released Jean so suddenly that
he fell to the floor. She remembered
what she had said to Beverley on the
night Of the dance when they were
standing under the flag.
You made it and set it up," he light
ly remarked "You must see that no
enemy ever gets possession of it, espe-
cially the English"
"I'll take it down and hide 1t when
there's danger of that" she said in the
same spirit
And now she stood there, looking at
Jean without seeing him, and repeated
the words under her breath.
I'm take it down and hide it. They
shan't have it,"

CHAPTER IN.
THE HONORS OF WAR.
ASDADn ROITSSII IO-

~ ASPARD ROUSSILLON was
- thoroughly acquainted with
savage warfare, and he knew
all the pacific means so sue
cessfully and so long used by French
missionaries and traders to control saw
age character, but the emergency now
upon him was startling. 1t confused
him. The fact that he had taken sol
emn oath of allegiance to the American
government could have been pushed
aside lightly enough upon pressing oc.
casiOn. but he knew that certain conf,
dental agents left in Nincennes by
Governor Abbott had. upon the arrival
of Helm. gone to Detroit. and of course
they had carried thither full report
of all that happened in the Church of
ST. Xavier when Father Gibault call
ed the people together, and at the fort
when the British flag was hauled down
and la banniere d'Alice Roussilon run
up in its place. His expansive imagina
ton did full credit to itself in exaggcr-
ating the Importance of his part in
handing the post over to the rebels
And what would Hamilton think of
this? Would he consider it treason?
The question certainly bore a tragic
suggestion.
NJ. ROussillon lacked everything of
being coward, and treachery had no
rightful place in his nature. He was.
however, so in the habit of fighting
windmills and making mountains of
molehills that he could not at first
glance see any sudden presentment
with normal vision. He had no love
for Englishmen, and he did like Amer
leans, but he naturally thought that
Helms talk of fighting Hamilton was,
as his own would have been in like
case, talk and nothing more. The fort
could not hold out an hour, he well
knew. Then what? All, he but too
well realized the result.
Resistance would infiame the English
soldiers and madden the Indians. There
would be a massacre, and the belts of
savages would sag with bloody scalps.
He shrugged his shoulders and felt
chill creep up his back.
The first thing NJ. Roussillon did was
to see Father Beret and take counsel of
him; then he hurried home to dig
great pit under his kitchen floor in
which he buried many bales of fur and
all his most valuable things. He work
ed like a giant beaver all night long.
Meantime Father Beret went about
over the town quietly notifying the in
habitants to remain in their houses I'M
til after the fort should surrender,
which, he was sure, would happen the
next day.
"You will be perfectly safe, my chill
hren," he said to them. mo harm can
come to you if you follow my direc-
tons"
Relying implicitly upon him, they
scrupulously obeyed in every particu-
lar.
He did not think 1t necessary to call
at Roussillon place. having already
given M. Roussillon the best advice he
could command.
Just at the earliest break of day,

Many friends will be glad to learn that
she has gotten rid of her cancer. Mrs.
Kendall is one of New Ravens best
known citizens, as she is 70 years of age
and has resided for so years in the same
house that she now lives in. Mrs. Ken
dali has five grandchildren and thirteen
great grand children, and her husband
has been dead for ten years. Mrs. Ken
dali is member of the Methodist church
of Middlebury, VT, and probably is as
well known, loved and respected as any
woman in Vermont, and for the past
three years it has been a well known fact
that she has been fast losing her health
by a cancer which was greatly bothering
her. She had it treated for one year by
a specialist all to no avail and the cancer
commenced to grow very fast and nearly
covered the side of her cheek, running to
her nose. In this condition on Nov. /,
1908, she went to Burlington to DR.. Mer-
rows private sanitarium where in eight
days without comparatively any pain,
the loss of drop of blood or the use of
the knife Mrs. Kendall's cancer was sue
cessfully removed, and is at this writing
nearly all healed up. Mrs. Kendall has
nothing but the greatest praises for Dr.
Morrow and his treatment and says she
would recommend all friends suffering
from cancer to consult him at once and
she will be only too glad to show where
the cancer was removed and explain her
case to any one who is suffering with
cancer We understand this is the 55th
cancer that DR.. Morrow has removed
since Jan. /, 1908, in Burlington and
vicinity. advt
