their marriage, Racine makes terrible
discovery that a heritage of family
which has shipped two generations is
appearing in him. He is becoming a
hunch-back. His wn~ when she learns
the truth, faces her life with him brave
ly, giving up all the honor she might
have had through singing and devoting
herself to her husband, who rapidly be-
comes an irratable, nervous invalid; the
one pleasure of his life is the honor of
ruling as Seigneur of Pontiac. There
is another claimant to this seigneury,
George Fournel, for according to popu-
lar belief the Seigneury of Pontiac had
been willed to Ge- % Fournel, an Eng
lishman, but ( the death of the old
Seignuer. no document can be found,
and the title and property falls to Louis
Racine, the direct heir. A bitter hatred
springs up between the two men.
Madelinette discovers the will that
gives the Seignuery of George Fournel.
Fearing that the loss of the estate may
kill Racine, she takes no action and
returns the will to its old hiding place.
But she has been spied upon by Tardif
faithless servant, who fees with the
swift chase. Then the scene at the
home of George Fournel will be put on
