~ er long and torturing captiy-

to the forest with anticipations Of lively
adventure and made his way toward
the Wea plains. It was his purpose to
get boat at the village of Ouiatenon
and pull thence up the Wabash until he
could find out what the English were
doing. He chose for his companions
on this dangerous expedition two ex.
pert coureurs de bois, Dutremble and
Jacques Bailoup. Fifty miles up the
river they fell in with some friendly
Indians. well known to them oil. who
wore returning from the portage.

III ELM vas a good officer in

uiotism was Of the best; but
he liked jolly company,
glass Of something strong and large
share of ease. Detroit lay many miles
noetheastward across the wilderness,
and the English, he thought, would
scarcely come so far to attack his little
pest especially now that most of the
Indians in the intervening country had
declared in favor of the Americans.
Recently, too, the weather had been
fayoeing him by changing from wet to
Dry, 60 that the upper Wabash and its
tributaries were falling low and would
soon be very difficult to navigate with
large batteaux.
Very little was done to repair the
stockade and dilapidated remnant of a
blockhouse. There were no sufficient
barracks, a mere shed in one angle
serving for quarters, and the old can
non could not have been used to any

He laughed heartily.
Eyes. your point reaches me,'' he
said.
When Beverley, taking his leave,
passed through the gate at Roussillon
place, he met Rene de Ronville going
in. 1t was a notable coincidence that
each young man felt something trouble
some rise in his throat as he looked
into the others eyes.
A week Of dreamy autumn weather
came on. during which Beverley man.
aged to be with Alice a great deal,
mostly sitting OH the Roussillon gallery.
where the fading vine leaves made
fairy whisperings, and where the tenn
2ered breeze blew deliciously cool from
over the distant multicolored woods.
The men Of Eincennes We're gathering
their Indian corn early to dry it on the
cob for grating into winter meal. Many
women made wine from the native
grapes and from the sweeter and richer
fruit of imported vines. Mrs. leoussil-
Ion and Alice stained their hands a
deep purple during the pressing season
and Beverley found himself engaged in
helping them handle the juicy crop.
while around the overflowing enrthen
pots the wild bees, wasps and hornets
hummed with an incessant. Earring
monotony.
Jean, the hunchback. gathered ample
stores Of hickory nuts, walnuts. hazel
nuts and pin oak acorns. Indeed. the
whole population Of the village made
great squirt of industry just before the
falling of winter, and presently. when
every preparation had been completed
for the dreaded cold season. NJ. Rous-
sillon carried out his long cherished
plan, and gave great party at the
river house. After the most successful
trading experience of his life he felt
irrcpressibly liberal.

she had gone home.

"A fix We'll be in IL Hamilton
comes down here with a good force, -
said Helm. Beverley was young. en-.
ergetic. bellicose, and to him every
thing seemed possible: he believed in
vigilance, discipline, activity, dash; he
had a great faith in the efficacy of en-.
thusiasm.
1--WE must organize these French
men," he said. @They will make good
fighters If we can once get them to act
as body. There's no time to be lost
but we have time enough in which tc
do great deal before Hamilton can
arrive, if We go at il in earnest"
"Your theory is excellent, lieuten-
ant, but the practice of it won't be
worth much" Helm replied with per-
feet good nature. I'D like to see you
organize these parlyvoos. There amt
q dozen Of 'em that wouldn't accept
the English with open arms. 1 know
'em. They're good hearted, polite and
all that; they'll hurrah for the

to the test and they'll join in with the

course there are few exceptions.

His heart was full of her. She had
surprised his nature and filled it as
with wonderful, haunting song. And
yet, in his pride-and it was not false
pride, but rather noble regard for his
oirthright-he vaguely realized how far

Helm in his most jovial mood was
circulating freely.
It was late when fathers and mothers
in the company began to suggest adj
journment. In the open lamps sus-
pended here and there the oil was run
ming low, and the rag wicks sputtered
and winked with their yellow flames.
"Well," said NJ. Roussillon, coming
to where Alice and Beverley stood in
sulated and isolated by their great de-
light in each others company, cts
time to go home.'
Beverley looked at his watch. TWAS
q quarter to three!
Alice also looked at the watch, and
saw engraved and enameled on its mas
sive case the Beverley crest, but she
did not know what it meant. There
was something of the sort in the back
Of her locket, she remembered with sat
isfaction.
Just then there was peculiar stir in
the tagging crowd. Some one had ar
rived, a coureur de bois from the north.
Where was the commandant? The
courenr had something important for
him.
Beverley heard q remark in startled
voice about the English getting ready
for descent upon the Wabash valley.
This broke the charm which thralled
him and sent through his nerves the
bracing shock that only soldier can
feel when q hint Of coming battle
reaches him.
Alice saw the fash in his face.
''Where is Captain Helm? must
see him Immediately. Excuse me-" he
said, abruptly turning away and look
ing over the heads Of the people. lyon
der he is; I must go to him"
The coureur de bois, Adolphe Dutrem-
bic by name, was Just from the head
waters Of the Wabash. He was speak
ing to Helm when Beverley came up.
N. Roussillon followed close upon the
ueutenant's heels, as eager as he to
know what the message amounted to;
but Helm took the coureur aside, mo-
doning Beverley to join them. NJ.
Roussillon included himself in the con.
ference.
After all it was bot the gossip of
savages that Dutremble communicate
ed, still the purport was startling in
the extreme. Governor Hamilton. 90
the story ran, had been organizing a
large force. He was probably now on
his way to the portage Of the Wabash
with a dotilla of batteaux, some COM
panies Of disciplined soldiers, artillery
and a strong body Of Indians.
Helm listened attentively to Dutrem.
ble's lively sketch, then cross ques-
toned him with laconic directness.
"Send Mr.. Ja1on to me-" he said to
II. Roussillon, az IL speaking to serv-
ant.

Beverley, while he did not feel quite
as confident as his chief. was not sorry
that things looked little brighter than
he had feared they would turn out y
be. Secretly and without acknowlede

the life he was living.
He began to like walking about aim
