CHAPTER XII.
The Murder Of chevet


Who had killed him? What should

haunting my mind, and becoming more
and more insistent. The light still
burned in the mission house, and 1

three priests reading, or talking softly
to each other, and Cassion asleep on
his bench in the corner, wearied with
the day.
could not understand, could not
imagine a cause, and yet the assassin
must have been D'Artigny. How else
could account for his presence there
in the night, his efforts at conceal
ment, his bending over the dead body,
and then hurrying away without
sounding an alarm. The evidence
against the man seemed conclusive,
and yet would not condemn. There
might be other reasons for his 81
lence, for his secret presence, and if
rushed into the house, proclaiming
my discovery and confessing what
had seen, he would be left without
defense.
Shrinking, shuddering at every
shadow, at every sound, my nerves
throbbing with agony, l managed to
drag my body up the logs, and in

THE servant will see to that, only
let there be as little delay as possible.
All! here comes a messenger from
below-what is it, my man?'
The fellow, one of the soldiers whose
face 1 did not recall, halted in the
open door, gasping for breath, his eyes
rowing about the room.
HE is dead-the big man." he STAN
mered. HE is there by the woods"
1.-THE big man-deadw Cassion drew
back, as though struck a blow. "What
big man? Whom do you mean?"
THE one in the second canoe, mon
sieur; the one who reared"
"Chevet? Hugo Chevet? What has
happened to him? Come, speak up, or
I'll slit your tonguew
The man gulped, gripping the door
with one hand, the other pointing out

He is there, monsieur, beyond the
trail, at the edge of the wood. / saw
him with his face turned up - Mon
dieu! so white; 1 dare not touch him,
but there was blood where knife
had entered his back"
All were on their feet, their faces
picturing the sudden horror yet Cas-
sion was first to recover his wits, and
lead the way without. Grasping the
soldiers arm and bidding him show
where the body lay, he thrust him
through the door. 1 fingered behind
shrinking from being again compelled
to view the sight of the dead man,
yet unable to keep entirely away. Cas-
sion stopped, looking down at the OBJ
ject on the grass, but made no effort
to touch it with his hands. The sol
der bent and rolled the body over, and
one of the priests felt in the pockets
of the jacket, bringing forth a paper
or two. Casslon took these, gripping
them in his fingers, his face appearing
gray in the early light.
"Mon dieu! the man has been muir
dered," he exclaimed, "a bastard blow
in the back. Look about and see If
you find a knife Had he quarrel with
anyone, Moulin?"
The soldier Strengthened up.

young cock is now?"
'He, with the chief, left an hour
ago. Was it not your order, mon
sieur?'
Cassion made a swift gesture, but
what it might signify l could not de-
termine, as his face was turned away.
A moment there was silence, as he
shaded his eyes and peered out across
the water.

CHAPTER XI-continued.

He strobe forward across the mar
row open space and disappeared into
the fringe of trees bordering the edge
of the bluff. 1t would have been easy
for me to depart, to escape to the Sc
curity of the tent below, but curiosity
held me motionless. l knew what he
would discover, and preferred to face
the consequences where was free to
answer him face to face. l wished
him TO be suspicious, to feel that he
had a rival; / would fan his jealousy
to the very danger point. Nor had
long TO wait Forth from the shade
of the trees he burst and came toward
me, his face white, his eyes blazing.
"'Tls the fellow thought" he burst
forth, "and he went down the face of
the bluff yonder. So you dared to have
tryst with him?"
with whom, monsieur?"
"D'Artigny, the young fool! Do you
think me blind? Did not know you
were together in Quebec? What are
you laughing at?"
"I was not laughing monsieur. Your
ridiculous charge does not amuse me.
l am a woman; you insult me; I am
your wife; you charge me with indis-
erection. If you think to win me with
such cowardly insinuations you know
little OF my nature. I will not talk
with you, nor discuss the matter. 1

His hands clinched as though he
had the throat of an enemy between
them, but angry as he was, some
vague doubt restrained him.

trade, hear, and he is good at It,"
"Bah! a bungler Of the woods. 1

madame, the lad feels my steel if ever
you so much as speak to him again."
There was contempt in my eyes, nor
did / strive to disguise 1t.
"Am your wife, monsieur, or your
slave?"
"My wife, and I know how to hold
you! Mon dieu! but you shall learn
that lesson. Il was a fool to ever give
the brat place in the boats. La Barre
warned me that he would make trou-

If you play false with me-"
''You may spare your threats-they
weigh nothing. The Sieur d'Artigny
Is my friend, and shall address him
when 1t pleases me. With whatever
quarrel may arise between you have
no interest. Let that suffice, and now

He made no effort to halt me, nor
to follow, and made my way down
the darkening path, without so much
as turning my head to observe his
movements. 1t was almost like a play
to me, and was reckless of the con-
sequences, intent only on my purpose.
In the early dawn we broke camp

rapids, while the others of the party

THEY ARE IN DIRE NEED

An appeal for aid for the suffering
Syrian and Armenian people In
Europe Is being sent out by relief
committees throughout the United
States. Keokuk people are asked to
contribute to the fund. T. Richard
son Gray, member Of the committee
and pastor of the Congregational
church at Salem is sending out ap-
peals to the PEOPLE of the county to
help in this work.
Money can be sent to the relief
committee or left with the banks, &C
cording to the committee members.
According to reliable reports $780,
900 Armenians and Syrians in Iur-
key, Persia, Syria and Palestine
have been massacred or have died
from disease and hunger. There are
two million survivors now in direst
need. It is TO help these that the
appeal has been made.
The 1.1sssao:ss began last April and
continued through November when
there began what Is feared to be a
Systematically cruel process of crush
ing the Armenian race. The follow
ing is a description from pamphlet
sent out by the committee:
Villages and towns by the hundred
we're wrecked. The whole Armenian
population of large sections was de-
ported. OF one caravan of 600 people
the Arabs killed 500. Many thou
sands died of disease, torture, ter
ror, exhaustion, hunger.
OF $50 from one village only one
woman lives. She saw her husband
and three sons tied together and
shot with one bullet, to save ammu-
milton. She saw her daughters out
ragged and then killed. She was car
ried away by a Kurd, but escaped
at night, naked, and after terrible
suffering fell III with some refugees.
The blow fell heaviest upon those
least able to bear 1.-THE aged, the
women, especially mothers or those
about to become mothers, little chill

in the first few days. The figures
