"A IIENDED Dy MS captOrs,
IN Denis de Wire, in the hate
A full uniform of the English
army, stood bound and fac
! ing the governor and his staff in the
great hall of the castle. The sun
light sparkled in through the long,
narrow lancet windows with their
loaded, diamond-shaped panes, and
made strange traceries upon the pol
ished oaken floor. Pictures of the for
mer governors of New France looked
down upon the little scene from the
walls. There was the dauntless Cham
plain, the veteran La Barre, the court
~ du Quesne, and, conspicuous among
the rest, the grim, eagle-like figure of
the greatest of all-old Frontenac
The history Of the province was some
how summed up in that old vaulted
chamber. and de Wire felt as If he
were on trial before the heroism of the
past as we'll as the disorganization Of
the present.
Monsieur de Wire, you are accused
of having betrayed your country by
plotting the English ships up the
river" began the governor.
And who is my accuser, Monsieur
de Ramesay?" answered de Wire,
boldly.
Common report"
"And does common report, sir, out
weigh the word of honor of an officer
and a gentleman"
DO you deny the charge, mon
sieur?"
"Sir, upon my word of honor, de-
clare it to be false in every partlcu-
lar!"
But, sir, you were seen, recognized
by officers stationed on Cap-Tour-
mente, on the forward part of the first
English ship to pass the promontory.
There was a group of English officers
around you. You seemed to be point
ing-is it no so, Maj. ST. Luc?"
ut Is indeed true, sir. saw Mon
sieur de Wire myself" answered the
officer, promptly.
"If Monsieur st. Luc had seen me
one-half hour sooner he would have
noticed me standing on the rail of the
ship with rope around my neck,
about to be hanged as common felon
for refusing to show the way to the
English"
Can this be true. sir?" asked the
governor in surprise.
"On my faith it is. give you my
word, SIR
1--WE don't accept the word of man
accused of treachery, sir. Although
have no doubt you were on the rail-
as you say, yet have also no doubt
but that the presence Of the rope
proved efflcacious."
Mon Dieu. what an Infamous
charged" cried de Wire, white with
rage and passion at this insult, striv-
ing to break away from his guards
The governor watched him coolly
until he ceased to struggle; then, nom
chalantly taking pinch OF snurt:
