most civilized nations. 1t is only In

this is so true to nature that no room
for doubt can be found. Such Is the
following chapter from the annals Of
the Beavers, a Canadian tribe.
One day a young chief shot his ar.

other brave. The brave revenged the
death Of his dog, and instantly a hun.
bred bows were drawn. Ere night had
fallen some eighty warriors lay dead
around the camp, the pine woods rang
with the lamentations Of the women;
the tribe had lost its brayest men.
There was a temporary truce. The
OF the chief whose arrow had
killed the dog yet numbered some
sixty people, and it was agreed that
they should separate from the tribe
and seek their fortune In the vast
wilderness lying to the south.

CHAPTER K.

1t was high noon when O'Rourke
drove up before the Palace of the
Governor-General. Weary, dusty and
travel-stained as he was, he hesitated
no instant about sending in his name
and requesting an Interview with the
representative Of Frances sovereign
power.
Disappointment awaited him at the
very outset; disappointment in the
shape Of word that his excellency was
away. But the name of O'Rourke was
one well and favorably known in the
province, and secured him an invita-
ton to ascend to the Governors office
and state his business-if he cared
to do soto the g~ubernatorial secre-
tary.
Upon consideration he accepted, and
a little later was seated in a broad,
low, cool room in the old Moorish
palace, the affable secretary a
young, lively and engaging French
man-solicitously sounding him as to
his errand.
1t was obviously the office of a man
Of great affairs, presenting an eminent
ly business-like look for all its ORR,
entail setting. To one side, set In the
solid masonry of the wall, was a mas.
sive safe with doors ajar, exposing a
cavity well stocked with documents.
1t occurred to the adyenturer that
such a safe might easily have been
the place Of security selected by the
Governor-General for anything he held
In trust. He built upon It a theory
whilst he listened-nor lost q point
and replied to the secretary.
The latter regretted excessively
that his excellency was absent: his
excellency would undoubtedly be DESC
lated when he returned and found he
had missed Colonel O'Rourke.
He'll be back soon, monsieur"
ALAS, MOI" with a shrug. He is

Chambret?"
To the contrary: the secretarg knew
1t very well. He could place his hand
upon 1t at any moment-monsieur
would appreciate that he burst lot
surrender it without the Governor
authority.
o'Rourke drew a long sigh of relief
and was abruptly conscious of fatigue
and a desire to get away and rest.

"I1l have to wait until the
Governor returns, | presume.

The Villa d'Orleans proved to be a

ated In extensive and well-groomed
grounds, on q height outside the town,
overlooking the Mediterranean. So
complete and elegant seemed the es.
tablishment, indeed, viewed from with.
out or within, that O'Rourke's suspic-
ions were stimulated and his certainty
that he was being played with resoly-
ed into q pretty definite conviction,
