words of instruction to his Indian pad
dlers, and so manipulated his craft as
to keep not far distant, although slight
ly farther from shore, than the canoe
In which I sat.
Cassion had already vanished in the
fog, which swept thicker and thicker
along the surface of the water, the
nearer boats becoming mere indistinct
shadows. Even within my own canoe
the faces of those about me appeared
gray and blurred, as the damp vapor
swept over us in dense clouds. 1t was
a CHASTITY scene, rendered more awe
some by the glare Of lightning which
seemed to split the vapor, and the
sound of thunder reverberating from
the surface Of the lake.
The water, a CHASTITY, greenish gray,
heaved beneath, giving us little diff
Guilty, yet terrifying in its suggestion
of sullen strength, and the shore line
was barely discernible to the left as
we struggled forward. What obstinacy
compelled Cassion to keep us at the
task l know not-perchance a dislike
to yield to D'Artigny's a~dvice-but the
sergeant swore to himself, and turned
the PROV of III canoe inward, hug
ging the shore as closely as he dared,
his anxious eyes searching every rift
In the mist.
Yet, dark and drear as the day was,
we had no true warning of the ap-
preaching storm, for the vapor cling

Sieur de La Durantaye, Of the regi-
ment of Carignan-Salliers is at the
Chicago portage. This l learned at
st. Ignace."
"Then 1t would seem to me, mon
sieur, that you could safely wait the
trial of D'Artigny until our arrival at
the fort. If he does not feel himself
suspected, he will make no effort to
escape, and l give you the pledge you
ask"
It was not altogether graciously
that he agreed to this, yet the man
could not refuse, and l was glad
enough to escape thus easily, for 1t
was my fear that he might insist on
my yielding much more to preserve
D'Artigny from immediate condemna-
ton and death. The fellow had the
power, and the inclination, and what
good fortune saved me, l can never
know. I think he felt a certain fear
of me, a doubt of how far he might
presume On my good nature.
Certainly I gave him small encour-
agement to venture further, and yet
had he done so I would have been at
my wits end. Twice the words were
upon his lips-a demand that I yield
to his mastery-but he must have read
in my eyes a defiance he feared to
front, for they were not uttered. Twas
that he might have this very talk that
he had found me place alone In his
canoe, and I would have respected
him more had he dared to carry out
his desire. The coward In the man
was too apparent, and yet that very
cowardice vas proof of ~treachery.
What he hesitated to claim boldly he
would attain otherwise If he could. I
could place no confidence In his word,
nor reliance upon his honor.

CHAPTER XII.
IA Murder Of Chevet

Who had killed him? What should
[ do? These were the two questions
haunting my mind, and becoming o
and more insistent. The light still
burned In the mission house, and 1
could picture the cen within - the
three priests reading, or talking softly
30 each other, and Cassion asleep on
bis bench in the corner, wearied with
the day.
I could not understand, could not
imagine a cause, and yet the assassin
must have been D'Artigny. How else
could l 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 1 would not condemn. There
might be other reasons for his 81
tence, for his secret presence, and II
rushed into the house, proclaiming
my discovery and c~onfessing what 1
had seen, he would be left without
defense.
Shrinking, shuddering at every
shadow, at every sound, my nerves
~khrobbing with agony, I managed to
drag my body up the logs, and In
through the window. was safe there,
but there was no banishing from men,
DRY what l had seen-what 1 knew

sank to the floor, clutching the sill, my
eyes staring through the moonlight
Once 1 thought I saw a mans indis-
tinct figure move across an open space,

1 do not know that I was called,
yet when I awoke a faint light pro-
claiming the dawn was In the sky,
and sounds OF activity reached my
ears from the OOH below. l felt tired
and cramped from my unnatural posi-
tion, but fastened to join the others.
The morning meal was already on the
table, and we ate as usual, no one
mentioning Chevet, thus proving the
body had not been discovered. I could
scarcely choke the food down, antici-
pating every instant the sounding Of
an alarm. Cassion hurried, excited, no
doubt, by the prospect OF getting away
on. our journey, but seemed In excel
lent humor. Pushing back the box on
which he sat he buckled his pistol belt,
seized his hat and strobe to the door.
I'VE depart at once" he proclaimed
briefly. $50 l will leave you here to
bring the lady"
Pere Ailouez, still busily engaged,
murmured some indistinct reply and
Cassion's eyes met mine.

guidance. Even D'Artgny kept with
in sight, and made camp with us at
night, although he made no effort to
seek me, o did 1 Once detect that he
ever glanced In my direction. The
studied Indifference Of the man puz-
zled me more than 1t angered, but |
believed it was his consciousness of
guilt, rather than any dislike which
caused his avoidance. In a way l
rejoiced at his following this course.
as l felt bound by my pledge to Cas-
sion, and had no desire to further
arouse the Jealousy of the latter, yet
/ remained a woman, and consequent
ly felt a measure of regret at being
thus neglected and ignored.
I bad no knowledge OF the date, nor
a very clear conception Of where we
were. The night before we had camped
ut the mouth of a small stream, the
surrounding forest growing down close
to the shore, and so thick as to be
almost i~mpenetrable. The men had
set up my tent 30 close to the water
the waves broke scarcely a foot away,
and the fire about which the others
clustered for warmth was but q few
yards distant.
Wrapped in my blankets I saw
D'Artigny emerge from the darkness
and approach Cassion, who drew a
map from his belt pocket and spread
1t open on the ground in the glare Of
the fire. The two men bent over 1t,
tracing the lines with finger tips, evil

the morrow. Then D'Artigny made q:
few notes on a scrap Of paper, arose
10 bis feet and disappeared.

Tho Break of Storm.

We had no more pleasant weather

the wind damp and chill. 1t did not

it burst upon us with mad ferocity,
the wind whiriing to the north and
striking US with all the force of three
hundred miles OF opens sea. He- mist
was swept away with that first fierce
gust, and we were struggling for life
in a wild turmoil of waters. l had
but a glimpse of it-a glimpse of wild,
raging sea; of black, scurrying clouds.
80 close above l could almost reach
out and touch them; of dimly revealed
canoe flung about like chips, driving
before the blast.
Our w was hurled forward like an
arrow, the Indian paddlers working
like mad to keep stern to the wind,
their long hair whipping about. The
soldiers crouched in the bottom, cling
ing grimly to any support, their white
faces exhibiting the abasement of fear.
The sergeant alone spoke, yelling his
orders, as he welded steering paddle,
his hat blown from his head, his face
CHASTITY with sudden terror. 1t was but
the glimpse of an instant; then a pad
die broke, the canoe swung sideways,
balanced on. the crest of a wave and
went over.
I was conscious of cries, shrill, in
stantly smothered, and then l sank,
struggling hard to keep above water,
yet borne down by the weight Of the
canoe. I came up again, choking and
half strangled, and sought to grip the
boat as 1t whirled past. My fingers
found nothing to cling to, slipping
along the wet keel, until I went down
again, but this time holding my
breath. My water-soaked garments.
and heavy shoes made swimming al
most impossible, yet 4 struggled to

reached the canoe, and had somehow

Beyond this l knew nothing; with
the coming Of help, the sense that I

When l again awoke, dazed, trem-
