His speech sounded preposter0usly
boastful and hollow, but he was man

from his brave heart.

Beverley comprehended the situation
in second. Helms face was congest-
ed with excitement. Some scouts had
come in with the news that Governor
Hamilton, at the head of 500 or 600
soldiers and Indians, was only three or
four miles up the river.
"Where are all the men?' Helm re-
peated.
Buffalo hunting, most of Them" said
Beverley.
what in thunder are they off hunt
ing buffaloes for?" ragged the excited
captain.
"You might go to thunder and see,"
Beverley said, and they both laughed
in sheer masculine contempt of a pre-
dicament too grave for anything but
grim mirth.
What could they do? Even Oncle ia
zon and Rene de Ronville were off with
the hunters. Helm sent for NJ. Rous.
sillon in the desperate hope that he
could suggest something, but he lost
his head and hustled off to hide his
money and valuables. Indeed the
French people all felt that. 80 far as
they were concerned, the chief thing
was to save what they had. They well
knew that it mattered little which of
the two masters held over them-they
must shift for themselves. In their
hearts they were true to France and
America; but France and America
could not now protect them against
Hamilton, therefore it would be like
suicide to magnify patriotism or any
other sentiment Objectionable to the
English. So they acted upon NJ. Rous.
sillon's advice and offered no resistance
when the new army approached.
"My poor people are not disloyal to
your flag and your cause" said good
Father Beret next morning to Captain
Helm, "but they are powerless Win.
ter is upon US. What would you have
US do? This rickety fort is not availa-
BILE for defense. The men are nearly all
far away on the plains. Isn't it the
part Of prudence and common sense to
make the best Of desperate situation?
Should we resist. the British and their
savage allies would destroy the town
and commit outrages too horrible to
think about. In this case diplomacy
promises much more than a hopeless
fight against an overwhelming force"
'1'll fight 'em," Helm ground out be-
tween his teeth. 'if have to do it sin
gle handed and alone! I'll fight 'em!"
Father Beret smiled grimly. as if he,
too, would enjoy lively skirmish. and
said:
II admire your courage, my son.
Fighting is perfectly proper upon fair
occasion. But think OF the poor women
and children. These old eyes of mine
have seen some terrible things done by
enraged sayages. Men can die fighting.
but their poor wives and daughters
nh, I have seen, have seen!'
Beverley felt pang of terror shoot
through his heart as Father Beret' 8
simple words made him think of Alice
in connection with the Indian massacre.
"Of course, of course it's horrible to
think Of" said Helm, "but my duty ia
clear, and that nag" he pointed to
where Ia banniere d'Alice Roussiilol,

result. The big Frenchman told the
same meager story. The woman was
dying in the time Of great epidemic
which killed most Of her tribe. She
gave Alice to NJ. Roussillon, but told
him not word about her ancestry or
previous life. That was all.
A wise old man when he finds him
self in blind alley no sooner touches
the terminal wall than he faces about
and goes back the way he came. On
der like circumstances a young man
must needs try to batter the wall down
with his head. In Beverley's case the
clash was profoundly disturbing. And
now he clutched the thought that Alice
was not mere child Of the woods. but &
daughter of an old family of cavaliers!
With coat buttoned close against the
driving wind he strobe toward the fort
in one of those melodramatic moods
to which youth in all climes and times
is subject. 1t was like a slap in the
face when Captain Helm met him at
the stockade gate and said:
"Well, SIR, you are good at hiding"

Lest Santa Claus should forget,
we wish to remind him again, that
not quite all of the boys and girls
who frequent the public Reading
and Rest Room are likely to be sur
feited with the delights of the COM
ing Christmas. We know old San
ia has hundreds of good, wholesome
stories for young people in his
boundless pack and although we
dislike to even hint of his partiality
yet it does seem sometimes as
though it were easier for him to
find the children who always have
an abundance of everything. If he
should chance to see this notice and
wishes to respond, as we hope he
will, the books or games may be
placed on any of the Christmas
trees in the several churches, ad-
dressed to the public Reading
Room. They will surely reach US
and give much pleasure, especially
this vacation. MANAGER.
