CHAPTER XIV.
ToUs sAuyAGEs.

Had nature indeed intended Law Cor
the wild life of the trail, and had he
indeed spent years rather than months
among these unusual scenes, he could
hardly have been better fitted for the
part. Hardy of limb, keen Of eye, tire
less of foot, with a hand which any
weapon fitted, his success as hunter
made his companions willing enough
to assign to him the chase of the bison
or the stag; SO that he became not
only patron but provider for the camp.
Some weeks after the departure of
Du Mesne, Law was returning from
the hunt some miles below the sta
ton. Hk tan aIad powerful figure, har-
dened by continued outdoor exercise,
was scarce bowed by the weight of the
wild buck which he bore across his
shoulders. His eye. accustomed to the
instant readiness demanded in the
voyageur's life, glanced keeniy ABOUT,
taking in each item Of the scene, each
movement of the little bird on the tree,
the rustling of the grass where a rab-
bit started from its form, the whisk
Of the gray squirrels tail on the limb
far overhead.
The touch of autumn was now in
the air. The leaves of the wild grape.
vine were falling. The oaks had donned
garments of somber brown, the hick-
cries had lost their leaves, while here
and there along the river shores the

CHAPTER XIV.
THE DREAM.

That night John Law dreamed as he
slept, and it was in some form the same
haunting and familiar dream. In his
vision he saw not the low roof nor the
rude walls about him. To his mind
there appeared little dingy room,
smaller than this in which he lay,
with walls Of stone, with door Of iron
grating and not Of rough-hewn slabs.
He saw the door Of the prison cell
swing open; saw near it the figure of a
noble young girl, with large and
frightened eyes and lips half tremu-
lous. To this vision he outstretched
his hands. He was almost conscious
OF uttering some word supplicatingly,
almost conscious of uttering a name.
Perhaps he slept on. We little know
the ways Of the land Of dreams. It
might have been half an instant o..
half an hour later that he suddenly
awoke, finding his hand clasped close
against his side, where suddenly there
had come sharp and burning pain.
His own hand struck another. He saw
something cleaning in the light Of
the Pickering fire which still survived
upon the hearth. The dim rays lit
up two green, glowing, venomous balls,
the eyes Of the woman whom he found
bending above him. He reached out
his hand in the instinct of safety.
This which glittered in the freight
was the blade Of a knife. and:it was in
the hand Of Mary Connynge!
In a moment Law was master of him
self. Give 1t to me, Madam, il you
please" he said quietly, and took the
knife from fingers which loosened un-
der his grasp. There was no further
word spokeS He tossed the knife into
crack of the bunk beyond him. He
lay with his right arm doubled under
his head, looking up steadily into the
low ceiling, upon which the fire made
ragged masses of shadows. His left
arm, round, full and muscular, lay
across the figure of the woman whom
he had forced down upon the couch be-
side him. He could feel her bosom
rise and pant in sheer sobs of anger.
Once he felt the writhing of the body
beneath his arm, but he simply tight
ened his grasp and spoke no word.
1t was not far from morning. In
time the gray dawn came creeping
in at the window. until at length the
chinks between the logs in the little
square-cut window and the ill-ftting
door were flooded with sea Of sun
light. AS this light grew stronger,
Law slowly turnyU anu lu61ksN ax fhs

ceiling, refusing to turn either to the
right or to the left. He calmly pulled
closer to him, so that it might not
stain the garments of the woman beside
him, the blood-soaked shirt whose
looseness and lack Of definition had
perhaps saved him from q fatal blow.
He paid no attention to his wound.
which he knew was nothing serious.
So he lay and looked at Mary Con-
nynge, and finally removed his arm.
Get up" said he simply, and the
woman obeyed him.
"The fire, Madam, II you please, and
breakfast"
These had been the duties Of the
Indian woman, but Mary Connynge
obeyed.
Madam" said Law, calmly, after
the morning meal was at last finished
in silence, Il shall be very glad to
have your company for a few mo-
ments, If you please"
Mary Connynge rose and followed
him into the open air, her eyes still
fixed upon the dark-crusted stain
which had spread upon his tunic. They
walked in. silence to point beyond
the cabin.
"You would call her Catharine!"
burst out Mary Connynge. ooh!
heard you in your sleep. You
believe every lying word Sir Arthur
tells you. You believe
John Law looked at her with the
simple and direct gaze which the tanner
Of the wild beast employs when he
goes among them, the look Of man
not afraid of any living thing.
Madam" said he. at length, calmly
and evenly. as before, what have
said, sleeping or waking, will not mat
ter. You have tried to kill me- You
did not succeed. You will never try
again. Now, madam, give you the
privilege of kneeling here on the
ground before me, and asking of me,
not my pardon, but the pardon of the
woman you have foully stabbed, even
as you have me-"
The figure before him Strengthened
up, the blazing yellow eyes sought his

The ho a tsX of e eooi bias eyes looked
straight into her heart. The tall figure
stood before her, unyielding. She
sought ID raise her eyes once more,

as he had said, actually on her knees
before him.
John Law extended a hand and
stopped her. "There," said he. 1T

There is the child"

out the woman once more in her un-
governable rage. you would name

sharply and sternly. Get up on your
feet and look me in the face. The
child shall be called for her who should
have been her mother. Let those for
give who can. That you have ruined
my life for me is but perhaps q fair
exchange; yet you shall say no word
against that woman whose life we have
both of us despoiled."

night.
Nov, Sir Arthur" said he to the lat

am ready to talk with you. Let us

Pembroke joined him, and the two
walked slowly away toward the encir-
cling wood which swept back Of the
stockade. Law turned upon him at
length squarely.
"sir Arthur" said he, II think you
would tell me something concerned
with the Lady Catharine Knollys. Do
you bring any message from her?"
The face of Pembroke famed scar

said he. Message from Lady Catha-
rine Knollys to you? BY God! sir,
her only message could be her hope
that she might never hear your name
again"
"You have still your temper, Sir
Arthur, and you speak harsh enough"
Harsh or not" rejoined Pembroke,
II scarce can endure her name upon
your lips. You, who secuted her, who
left her, who took up with the lewdest
woman in all Great Britain, as 1t now
appears-you who would consort with

Rats as Poison lmmunes.

In destroying rats by poison a para
doxical susceptibility has been noted.
When you want to kill a man by poi
son you give him a big dose, while
if you give him a small quantity
daily the whole may be eliminated
without fatal effects. On the other
hand it has been determined that rats
have a peculiar resistance to arsen-

doses, while frequently they were de-
stroyed by small dcses before the to-
tai quantity had reached an amount
equal to single doses that were sue
