was a stride in advance, his eyes

face flushed from excitement

exclaimed, staring at the three of us
as though doubling the evidence Of his
own eyes. "My wife alive? Ay, by
my faith, 1t is indeed Adele He
grasped me by the arm, but even at
that instant his glance fell upon DAT

CHAPTER XIX.
In De Bauuis' Quarters.

De Totty never gave way an inch
as a dozen soldiers advanced at Cas-
sion's order.
"Wait, men" he said sternly "'Tis
no time, with Iroquois about, to start
quarrel, yet If a hand be laid on
this lad here in anger, we, who are of
La Sales company, will protect him
with our lives"
"You defend murderer"
"No; a comrade. Listen to me, Cas-
sion, and you, De Baugis. I have held
quiet to your dictation, but no injus-
tice shall be done to comrade Of mine
save by force Of arms. i know
naught of your quarrel, or your
charges of crime against D'Artigny,
but the lad is going to have fair play.
He is no courier du bois, to be killed
for your vengeance, but an officer un-
der Sieur de la Sale, entitled to trial
and judgment"
"He was my guide; have author
ity.'
ssNot now, monsieur. 'Tis true he
served you, and was your employee or
the voyage hither. But even in that
service, he obeyed the orders of La
Sale. Now, within these palisades,
he is an officer Of this garrison, and
subject only to me-
De Baugis spoke, his voice cold, con-
temptuous.
"You refuse obedience to the COVER

'sNo, monsieur; | am under orders
to obey. There will be no trouble be-
tween us if you are just to my men.

CHAPTER XVIII.
Within the Fort.

I doubt If I paused a second, yet
that was enough to give me glimpse
of the weird scene. I saw D'Artigny
lunge with his knife, a huge savage
reeling beneath the stroke, and Bar
beau cleave passage to the rescue, the
stock Of his gun shattered as he struck
f1ercely at the red devils who blocked
his path.
Outnumbered, helpless for long in
that narrow space, their only hope lay
In sortie by the garrison, and 1t was
