"You are right. I have important
news and such that you must know
quickly. II your brain is sufficiently
cleared to listen and understand, 1 will
relate rapidly what | have done and
learned since we landed yesterday"
Begin" said Tonti, as he settled
back into q comfortable position.
ITO show you l have not been idle.
I will start at the moment when we
stepped ashore. Just after whispering
to you to leave me to my own devices,
I slipped through the crowd while
you were being welcomed by the gov
ernor. l was anxious not to be recog-
nized as belonging to the party OF
Sieur de la Sale, SO l found my way
to the tavern of jacques Boisdon. on
the square near the church, a place
recommended to me by one of the sail
ors as the center Of all the social and
political intrigue in Quebec. Sc
cured my lodging and soon made
friends with Marie, daughter of the
tavern-keeper, whom | found to be
| pretty and with a tongue that never
| ceases its chatter. She Is evidently
weary Of her male admirers of the
| place, and found a stranger fresh from
| Paris a being to wonder at, admire,
and one to whom she could tell all
she knew Of the city and it's people,"
A sutiued chuckle came from Tonti,
as he said:
"Peste! Pompon, how the air Of the
country changes one. You leave
France a hater of all womankind, and
an hour after you arrive here you are
at the feet of the first fair charmer
you meet"
"In ali undertakings it is necessary
to consider the end. I had a part to
play. Tell a woman she is handsome
and you will turn her head; tell hel
she is wondrous fair and she will soon
turn fool and tell you all she knows
This one knew much and has told me
everything. I have learned who and
where our enemies are. The situation
is like this: Two distinct parties eS'
list, the one headed by the governor
and consisting Of Barrels, his secre'
tary, ana Bizard. lieutenant of hii
guard, Du Lhut, leader of the coureurs'
de-bois, and La Sale, together witt

a majority Of the council and most Of
the common people; the other, headed
by the %intendant Duchesneau, consists
of a few members of the council, lie
Moyne and his sons, Jacques LIE Der,
and several other fur-merchants, the
Bishop Laval, together with all the
Order of the Jesuits. The quarrel be-
tween the two leaders is one due to
their official positions: the %intendant
is jealous Of the powers granted to
the governor and writes continually
complaints of his actions; the gov
ernor in turn is Jealous of the intend
ant, regarding him as a spy upon his
movements. Then, too, Frontenac is
in secret sympathy with the outlawed
coureurs-de-bois, and is lax in his ef-
forts to apprehend and punish them.
He has an eye to the profits they make
in trade, and undoubtedly shares in
them"
"Cospetto!" cried Tonti. "how much
you have learned in so short q time."
"There is more to tell yet" contin-
ued Pompon. "Duchesneau in turn is
interested in the profits Of a certain
group of traders here and at Montreal,
Of whom Jacques LIE Der is at the
head; hence an additional reaso for
his hatred Of the governor and the
desire to thwart his plans. The
Jesuits look with disfavor on the ex-
p~loration plans Of Frontenac and La
Sale, claiming that they would mean
the ruin of the Indian tribes they wish
to convert, and whom they claim are
supplied with brandy by the governors
friends. the coureurs-de-bois. Fronte-
nae believes that they have an eye to
the fur-trade themselves, and that It
Is the beaver skins and not the heather
souls that they fear to lose. He
claims, too, that he has proof of their
selling brandy also. They are bitter
likewise at the evident favor shown
by the governor to the Recollet friars."
"Sangue di Dio!" burst forth Tonti,
what a sea of hot water the comte's
patronage will throw us into. The
clergy, the intendant and his faction,
and a lot Of rascally traders. You
have indeed done well to learn all
this In time"
Truly" responded Pompon, "a
man warned is half saved. Our enc
mics will do a., they can to hinder our
success. Listen. After making love

Of many voices greeted their ears ~
they entered the enclosure. They
found the place filled With a crowd 81
interested and curious spectators. Sol
diers off duty, citizens, with their
sleeves rolled up. stopping In their

BLIZZARD to Tonti, az they wended their
way slowly through the crowd. "Ths

yet. Meanwhile let us work our way

They finally reached a position
where they could see and hear all that
went on. Before them were congre-

the neighboring farms and seignlories.

clothes, made of skins and caps Of fur,
betrayed a few Of the hardy pioneers
who ventured to the further limits OF
the settlement to ear their cabins ard
set their traps. They exchanged greet
ings with one another, laughing and
joking noisily, while pipesful Of to-
bacco and drains Of brandy changed
ownership in friendly barter or social
comfy. Through 1t all, however, each
kept an anxious eye out towards the
side of the square from which the
procession of "King's girls" would ap-
proach.
"They all seem eager for the fearfc'
fate before them" laughed Tonti.
"True," was the reply, that had q
touch of bitterness in it, "but If you
pity the men, l pity the unfortunate
girls more, doomed as they are to a life
Of servitude and labor with a man they

A cntch tn Come.

Little Jimmy Stiles is animated by
two ruling passions in this life. One is
a perfectly sincere hatred of school and
all that therein is, and the other an in
ordinate liking for fishing in a stream
close to his own home. A little while
ago he discovered that he was pos
sessed of a defective memory which
permitted him to forget all about his
school duties, and SO he betook him
self to the hereinbefore mentioned
stream to fish. He was proceeding
homeward VIXEN he met one of his
schoolmates.

queried the latter.

I felt 1t my duty to be present at any

"They vow vengeance on Frontenac

Pompon then related the details of
the plans he had overheard. Tonti
laughed heartily. "Peste!" said he,
"but the game is a pretty one. So a
woman is to win my favor and make
a traitor of me? Parbleu! there is one

growing, till the doctor said that nothing but
