articles for furs jacques Trudeau had

Often of an evening in winter. when
the trading of the day was ended.
those living near his store would drop
In. gather about the stove. get out
their pipes and call on him for story.
His yarns, If they had been developed
into novels. would have made best
sellers today. for they were full of
adventure. surprises and escapes. But
these were favored with that rhapsody
which the French people love so well.
On this particular evening Jacques,
having been called upon for story,
chose an especially romantic subject.
"When was young man an
English gentleman named Beaverton
came up here with his daughter
Clarissa. He bring gold monies to buy
furs. He was YER fine gentleman I'm

"See here, Trudeau," interrupted
Hutchins, wasn't there some danger

the ole man to a heap O. troubleY"
The story teller and the listeners sit
ting around the stove all looked up re-
proaehfully Mt the Yankee. They knew
that there was bound to be a love ar
fair between these two, but they
wished to have II developed In good
story form. Trudeau did not deign
reply, and when they had all recovered
from the shock of the interruption he
continued his story without changing
in the slightest the lines he had laid
down for its construction:
"Meester Beaverton he wish his
daughter to learn to trap. So he en-
gage Edouard Rubidoux to teach her.
Thees Rubidoux he YER handsome
man too. He hat eye lax the eagle
