showed no longer ragged strips of vel
vet, and their tips were polished in the
preliminary fitting for the fall season
of love and combat. There came nights
when the white frost hung heavy upon
all the bending grasses and the broad
leafed plants, a frost which scared the
maize leaves and set aflame the foliage
of the naples all along the streams,
and decked in a hundred flamboyant
tones the leaves of the sumach and all
the climbing vines.
AS all things now presaged the COM
ing winter, so there approached also
the time when the little party so long
companions upon the western trails,
must for the first time know division.
Du Mesne, making ready for the re-
turn trip over the unknown waterways
back to the lakes, as had been deter
mined to be necessary, spoke of it as
though the Journey were but an affair
of every day.
make no doubt, Monsieur Las"
said he, that shall ascend this river
of the lllini and reach Michiganon we'll
before the SHOWS. Once at the mission
of the Miamis, CT the village at the
river Chicaqua, shall be quite safe
for the winter, if / decide not to go
farther on. Then, in the spring, !!
make no doubt, shall be able to trade
our furs at the straits, if like not the
long run down to the Mountain. Thus,
you see, may be with you again some
time within the following spring."
Il hope it may be so, my friend
replied Law, 'for shall miss you sad
ly enough"
otis nothing, monsieur; you will
be we'll occupied. Suppose l take with
me Kataikini and kabayan, perhaps
also Tete Girls. That will give us four
paddlers for the big canoe, and you
will still have left Pierre Noir and
Jean, to say nothing of our friends the
Illini hereabout, who will be glad
enough to make cause with you in case
of need. l will 1euye Wabana for
madame, and trust she may prove OF
service. See to it, pray you, that she
observes the Offices Of the church.; for
methinks, unless watched, Wabana is
disposed to become careless and I'M
Christianized.'
This l will look to-" said Law,
smiling.
"Then all is WE'LL" resumed Du
Mesne, "and my absence will be but a
little thing, as we measure it on The
trails. You may find winter alone in
the wilderness pit dull for you, may
hap duller than were it in London, or
even in Quebec. Yet twill pass, and
in time we shall meet again. Perhaps
some good father will be wishing to
come back with me to set up a mis-
sion among the Illini. These good
fathers. they SO delight in losing I'm

when at length he raised his head and
turned to resume his burden that his
suspicious eye caught glimpse of
something which sent him in . fash
below the level Of the grasses, and
thence to the cover of tree trunk.
AS he gazed from his hiding-placs
he saw the tawny waters of the bayou
broken into long series of advancing
ripples. Passing the fringe of wild
rice, swimming down beneath the
heavy cordage of the wild grapevines,
there came on two canoes, roughly
made of elm bark, in fashion which
would have shown an older frontiers
man full proof of their western origin.
In the bow of the foremost boat, as
Law could now clearly see, sat
slender young man, clad in the uni
form, now soiled and faded, of cap
tain in the British army. His boat
was propelled by four dusky paddlers.
Indians of the east. Stalwart, powerful,
silent, they sent the craft on down
stream, their keen eyes glancing swift
~ from one poiut to the other of the
ever-changing panorama, yet finding
nothing that would seem to warrant
pause. Back Of the first boat by short
distance came a kindred craft it's crew
comprising two white men and two In
dian paddlers. OF the white men, one
might have been petty officer, the
other perhaps private soldier.
1t was, then, as Du Mesne had said.
Every party bound into the west must
pass this very point upon the river of
the Illini. But why should these be
present here? Were they friends or
foes? So queried the watcher, tense
and eager as a waiting panther, now
crouched with straining eye behind the
sheltering tree.
AS the leading boat swung clear OF
the shadows, the man in the PROV
turned his face, scanning closely the
shore of the stream. AS he did so,
Law half started to his feet, and a
moment later stepped from his conceal
ment. He gazed again and again.
doubling what he saw. Surely those
clean-cut, handsome features could be-
long to no man but his former friend,
Sir Arthur Pembroke!
Yet how could Sir Arthur be here?
What could be his errand, and how had
he been guided hither? These sudden
questions might, upon the instant, have
confused brain ready as that of this
observer, who paused not to reflect
that this meeting, seemingly so i'm
possible, was in fact the most natural
thing in the world; indeed, could scarce
have been avoided by anyone travelling
with Indian guides down the water
way to the Messasebe.
The keen eyes Of the red paddlers
caught sight of the crushed grasses
at the little landing on the bayou bank,
even as Law rose from his hiding
place. A swift, concerted sweep of the
paddles sent the boat circling out into
midstream, and before Law knew 1t
he was covered by half dozen guns.
He hardly noticed this. His own gun
he left leaning against tree, and
his hand was thrown out high in front
of him as he came on, calling out to
those in the stream. He heard the
command of the leader in the boat,
and moment later both canoes
| swung inshore.
