CHAPTER VIII.
| Defy Cassion.

Our progress was slow against the
swift current of the st. Lawrence,
and we kept close to the overhanging
bank, following the guidance of the
leading canoe. We were the second
in line, and no longer overcrowded, so
that had ample room to rest at ease
upon a pile of blankets, and gaze
about me with interest on the chang
ing scene.
Ahead of us, now sweeping around
the point like a wild bird, amid a
smother of spray, appeared the advance
canoe. AS it disappeared l could dis
tinguish D'Artgny at the stern, his
coat off, his hands grasping a paddle.
Above the point once more and in
smoother water, was aware that he
turned and looked back, shading his
eyes from the sun. could not but
wonder what he thought, what possi-
BILE suspicion had come to him, re-
garding my presence in the company.
In some manner 1 must keep him
away from Cassion-ay, and from
Chevet-until opportunity came from
me to first communicate with him.
Insensibly my head rested back
against the pile of blankets, the CLINT
of sunshine along the surface of the
water vanished as my lashes fell, and,
before I knew it, slept soundly. I
awoke with the sun in the western
sky, so low down as to peep at me
through the upper branches of trees
lining the bank. Behind us stretched
space of straight water, and one
canoe was close, while the second was
barely visible along a curve of the
shore. Ahead, however, the river ap-
peared vacant, the leading boat hav-
ing vanished around a wooded bend.
My eyes met those of Cassion and the
sight of him instantly restored me to
a recollection of my plan - nothing
could be gained by open warfare. l
permitted my lips to smile, and noted
instantly the change of expression in
his face.
II have slept well, monsieur" l
said pleasantly, "for was very tired"
"'Tis the best way on a boat voy-
age" assuming his old manner, "but
now the day is nearly DONE"
AS we skirted the extremity of shore
l saw the opening in the woods, and
the CLEAN Of cheerful fire amid green
grass. The advance canoe swung half
hidden amid the overhanging roots of
a huge pine tree, and the men were
busily at work ashore. AS we nosed
into the bank, our sharp bow was
grasped by waiting Indians and drawn
safely ashore. reached my feet,
stiffened, and scarcely able to move
my limbs, but determined to land
without aid Of Cassion, whose passage
forward was blocked by Chevet's huge
bulk. AS my weight rested on the
edge OF the canoe, DtArtigny swung

SYNOPSIS.

Adele la Chesnayne, a belle Of New
Francs, is among conspirators at her un-
cle'a house. Cassion, the commissaire,
has enlisted her Uncle Chevet's aid
against La Sale. D'Artigny, La Sales
friend, offers his services as guide to Cas-
sion's party on the journey to the wilder
ness. The uncle informs Adele that he
has betrothed her to Casson and fOrbids
her to see D'Artigny again. In Quebec
Adele visits her friend. Sister Celeste,
who brings D'Artigny to her. She tells
him her story and he vows to release her
from the bargain with Cassion. D'Artig-
ny leaves promising to see her at the
dance. Cassion escorts Adele to the hall.
She meets the governor. La Barre. and
hears him warn the commissaire against
D'Artigny. D'Artigny's ticket to the ball
has been recalled, but he gains entrance
by the widow. Adele informs him OF the
governoSs words to Cassion. For her
eavesdrOpping at the ball Adele is ordered
by the governor to marry CassiOn at once
and to accompany him to the Illinois
country. He summons Chevet and directs
that he attend them on the journey. They
leave in the boats, Adele's future depend
ing on the decision of D'Artlgny, whom
she now knows she loves. Cassion and
D'Artigny have words. Uncle Chevet for
the first time hears that his niece Is an
heiress, and begins to suspect CaSsion' .

hand Of the younger man close on the
knife hilt at his belt, but was quick
enough to avert the hot words burning
his lips.
"a bit rough, Monsieur Cassion,"
cried, laughing merrily, even as l re-
leased my arm. "Why so much haste?
l was near falling, and 1t was but
courtesy which led the Sieur d'Arti-
gny to extend me his hand. 1t does
not please me for you to be ever
seeking a quarrel"
There must have been that in my
face which cooled him, for his hand
fell, and his thin lips curled into sar-
castle smile
"If seemed hasty," he exclaimed,
ut was more because 1 was blocked
by that boOr Of Chevet yonder, and
1t angered me to have this young
gamecock ever at hand to push in.
What think you you were employed
for, fellow-an esquire of danes? Was
there not work enough in the camp
yonder, that you must be testing your
fancy graces every time boat lands ?"
There was no mild look in D'Arti-
gny's eyes as he fronted him, yet he
held his temper, recalling my plea, no
doubt, and l fastened to step between
and furnish him excuse for silence.
Surely you do wrong to blame the
young man, monsieur, as but for his
aid I would have slipped yonder.
There is no cause for hard words. nor
do thank you for making me a SUBJ
ject of quarrel. Is it my tent they
erect yonder?"
"Ay," there was little graciousness
to the tone, for the man had the ma
ture Of a bully. "'Twas my thought
that it be brought for your use; and
if Monsieur d'Artigny will consent to
stand aside, it will give me pleasure
to escort you thither."
The younger mans eyes glanced
from the others face into mine, as
though seeking reinsurance. His hat
was instantly in his hand, and he
stepped backward, bowling low.
"The wish of the lady is sufficient" +"
he said quietly, and then stood again
erect, facing Cassion. "Yet," he ad-
ded slowly, 81 would remind monsieur
that while l serve him as a guide, it
is as volunteer, and l am also an
officer of France"

DESERVED TO KEEP HIS LIFE
Hunted Boar Showed Much Clever
ness in Making His Escape When
Hard Pressed by Pursuer.

The boar is terrible enemy, and
also an alarmingly agile one. An Eng
lish sportsman tells of splendid es-
cape made by one of these creatures
in India.
This boar, which had been hard
pressed, galloped into nullah, very
sharp, deep cut, more like a narrow
chasm than ravine. Down this, along
the bottom of it, he raced, followed
by a man on swift horse.
The banks on each side overhanging
the boar we're six feet or more in
height. Suddenly the creature turned
a sharp corner, which hid him from
view. Then, by tremendous effort
he scaled the bank and gained the top.
He turned short around, leaped the
entire width Of the nullah, and landed
safely on the other side, clearing both
horse and rider as he jumped, save for
the mans pith helmet which he
knocked off. He had escaped by q
narrow margin.

WESTERN CANADA
Cooperative Creameries Show
Tremendous Increase in
Butter Production.

The Dairy Commissioner, at first an
nual convention of Saskatchewan
Dalrymen's association, reviewed pro
gress of 1915 which shows a great in
crease In the butter production Of the
cooperative creameries amounting to
100000 lbs. He also said the i'm
provement in quality is shown by the
preference accorded Saskatchewan
butter In outside markets. Shipments
out Of the province for the year to-
tailed 81 carloads.
According to bulletin just issued BY
the Manitoba department of agricul-
ture, the dairy industry had a very
successful year in 1915. There was an
increase OF over 100000 lbs. of cream
cry butter produced, as against the
previous year, about 100000 lbs. in
crease In dairy butter and over 25,O00
lbs. increase In the cheese output. The
increase of the total value Of milk and
milk products was over $427000. The
production of dairy butter for Mani
toba during the year was 4,150,444 lbs.
and it brought an average price Of 23c
per h.; of creamery butter 5,S39,667
lbs. were produced which commanded
29c per lb. on the average; cheese pro-
duction was 1851 lbs. which sold at
an average price of 15c-the total
value of these three products Is given
as $2,76069S, in addition to which the
milk produced is valued at $925,659
and the cream at $159,S27, the average
price of the milk being reckOned at
2.1c per lb. and of sweet cream at 32c
per lb. butter-fat. In connection with
the dairy industry it is interesting to
note that almost the most important
fodder crop now Is corn, of which the
1915 production amounted to 190,132
tons. The biggest cultivated fodder
crop is timothy which for last season
produced 193,357 tons and the next
most popular crop was bronze grass
with 1876 tons; of alfalfa and clover
there were produced some $4,000 tons.
The number of cattle in the province
is given as 631,O05, which is an In
crease of 10000 over the previous
year.
The fact that the Red Deer, Alberta,
cheese factory is handling four times
as much milk this season as last win
ter shows the growing improvement in
the dairy industry. On Feb. IA, 1t was
announced the factory had just
shipped two tons of cheese for Calgary
market.
Cardston, Alberta, creamery in 1915
paid its patrons a rate of 271sc per
lb. for butter fat and had a profit re-
naming over all expenses Of $5,584.
The creamery during season distrib-
uted among farmers $61, III and manu-
factured 256,00O lbs. butter and 1900
lbs. cheese. Average price realized for
butter was 28H cents.
The development Of the dairy indus
try of Northern Alberta is well indI-
Gated by the growth of prominent
dairy business here, which in 1915 pro-
duced 2,525,OO0 lbs. butter, an increase
Of 100000 lbs. over the previous year.

parts of Canada and this year will en-.

oxING- SPORTS OF ALL SORTS BASEBALL

The most remarkable thing about
Joe Stecher, Nebraska farmer boy
wrestler, is that he always makes
good on the prediction of his admir-
ers. He is elevating the mat game
by the sportsmanlike way in which
he conducts himself. He does not go
on the pad and wallow around for
several hours to the disgust of the
fans.
When he gets before an opponent
he realizes that he is there to either
throw his man or be downed, but the
latter outcome is not greatly consid-
cred. Stecher goes to work, gives
an interesting entertainment, and be-
cause of this quality, as much as on
the strength of his numerous vic
tories, has gained following.
Last night at the Coliseum he
threw John Freiberg, the Swedish
champion, twice in a fraction more
than II minutes. He could have
strung the affair out, as Freiberg is
no mean opponent, but he preferred
to exert himself. A body scissors, the
hold with which most of Stecher's
victories have been won, did the bust
ness last night.
There is no man on the mat now
who can defeat Stecher, and even
should Frank Gotch essay come
back, there are many fans who would
prefer to have a bet down on the
young Nebraskan. He has lifted the
tone of wrestling since he has been
prominent, and a good game is get
ting back on its feet.
Wrestling is interesting and excit-
ing when properly conducted, and the
only thing that sickened the sport
lovers was long line of frames and
succession of biting and butting
matches.
Ben Reuben was forced to default
to John Meyers in preliminary to
the Stecher. bout after winning the
