Under this rule physical depression is

Employees should be especially cautious,
as the sway is believed to encourage
arrogance and unreasonableness on the
part OF persons in places of power.
Fear Of trouble both on sea and land,
confguration prevails. but there win be
no grave difficulty. It is prophesied.
Again warning is given that accidents

numerous.
Actors and artists should not sign con-
tracts today. II they desire prosperous
engagements.

MANY AGENCIES AT WORK
Most Active Fight Against Tubercu-
Iosis is Being Carried on at
Numerous Points.

Statistics made public by the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis show that
nearly 5000 agencies are now listed In
the fight against tuberculosis In the
United States, an increase of 1000 per
cent since 1904, when the national
warfare on this disease was started.
These figures are taken from a new
tuberculosis directory issued by the
association.
The list includes 557 sanatoria and
hospitals, 158 tuberculosis boarding
houses, 90 hospitals for the insane and
80 penal institutions making special
provision for tuberculosis, 455 dis
pensaries. 80 open air schools, and
1924 anti-tubercuosis associations
and committees. To these are added
158 Canadian institutions and associa-
tons, making n total of 3,0S7. The di-.
rectory also gives q summary of mu-
nicipal and state legislation on tuber-
culosis. -.
When the national association was
formed In 1904 and the first list OF
agencies was printed, only 1873 organi-
cations and institutions were found.
The second edition of the directory In
1908 reported $40 different agencies;
and LAO were listed In the third edi-
ton published In 1911. On the basis
Of the latter figures, the number OF
agencies In the anti-tuberculosis move
ment has increased 115 per cent in the
last five years.

"No, monsieur"

l drew my arm from his grasp, feel
ing it Jingle with pain where his fin
gers had crushed the flesh, and crept
up the narrow stairs, glad enough to
get away and be alone. / had never
loved Chevet, but he had taught me
to fear him, for more than once had
/ experienced his brutality and physi-
cal power. To him I was but chat
tel, an incumbrance. He had assumed
charge of me because the law so or
dained, but I had found nothing in
his nature on which I could rely for
sympathy. / was his sisters child,
yet no more to him than some Indian
waif. More, he was honest about it.
To his mind he did well by nae in thus
finding me a husband. / sank on my
knees, and hid my face, shuddering at
the thought Of the sacrifice demanded.
Cassion! never before had the man ap-
peared so despicable. Yet what could
do? 1t was useless to appeal to
Chevet, and the governor, La Barre,
would give small heed to a girl OBJ
jecting to one of his henchmen.
D'Artigny! The name was on my lips
before I realized I had spoken it, and
brought a throb of hope. I arose to
my feet, and stared out Of the window
into the dark night My pulses
throbbed. If he cared; If only knew
he cared, I would fly with him any
where, into the wilderness depths, to
escape Cassion.
But how could I reach him with my
tale? There was but one opportunity
the governors ball. He would be
there; he had said So laughingly glanc-
ing toward me as he spoke the words,
the flash of his eyes challenge. But
it would be difficult. Chevet, Cassion,
not for a moment would they take
eyes from me, and if failed to treat
him coldly an open quarrel must re-
suit Chevet would be glad Of an
excuse, and Cassion's jealousy would
spur him on. Yet must try, and, in
truth, I trusted not so much in Mon
sieur d'Artigny's interest in me, as
in his reckless love of adventure.
'Twould please him to play an auda-
cious trick on La Sales enemies, and
make Cassion the butt Of laughter.

meal

my place to see you well settled"
"But have no wish to marry, mon

He shrugged his shoulders indiffer-
emily, and laughed.

In the Palace Of the Intendant.

The huge palace of the fntendant,
between the bluff and the river, was
ablaze with lights, and already crowd
ed with guests at our arrival. ] had
seen nothing of Cheyet since the
morning, nor did he appear now; but
Monsieur Cassion was prompt enough,
and congratulated me ON my appear
ance with bows, and words of praise
which made me flush with embarrass-
ment.
An officer met US, pointing out the
way, and, after he had assisted us to
descend from the chair, we advanced
slowly over carpet of clean straw
toward the gayly lighted entrance.
Soldiers lined the walls on either side,
and overhead blazed q beacon sus-
pended on a chain. II was a scene
rather grotesque and weird in the red
glow, and took CassioIi's arm gladly,
feeling just little frightened by the
strange surroundings.

CHAPTER Ill.
I Appeal for Aid,


1t had been two years since l was
at Quebec, and it was with new eyes
of appreciation that I watched the
great bristling cliffs as our boat Gid
ed silently past the shore and headed
in toward the landing. Cassion met
us, attired so gayly in rich vestments
that I scarcely recognized the man,
whom I had always seen before in
dull forest garb, yet permitted him
to take my hand and assist me gal
lantly to the shore. It was evidently
gala day, for flags and streamers
were flying from every window of the
lower town, and the narrow, crooked
streets were filled with wanderers
having no apparent business but en-
Joyment. Never had I viewed so mot
ly a throng, and I could but gaze about
with wide opened eyes on the strange
passing figures.
1t was all Of such interest I was
glad enough to be finally rid of him,
and be greeted so kindly by Sister
Celeste.
"Three years have changed you
greatly, my child" she said gently,
touching my cheeks with her soft
hands; "but bright as your eyes are,
1t is not all pleasure I see in them.
You must tell me Of your life. The
older man, take ii, was your uncle,
Monsieur Chevet."

add more.

He is not of the forest school2"
"'Twas Monsieur Cassion, commits

"Ah! It's through him you have in
vitation to the great ball."
L bowed my head, wondering at the
kind questioning In the sisters eyes.
Could she have heard the truth? Per-
chance she might tell me something
of the man.
"He has been selected by Monsieur
Chevet as my husband" I explained
doubtfully. know you aught Of the

Celeste sat silent, her white hands
clasped, her eyes on the stained glass
window. 1t was SO still / could hear
my own quick breathing. At last she
spoke, her voice still soft and kindly.
81 have no power, child, but l will
speak with the mother superior, and
repeat to her all 1 have learned. 1t
shall be as she wills. Wait here, and
you may trust me to plead for you"
She seemed to fade from the room,
and I glanced about, seeing no change
since I was there before-the same
bare walls and floor, the rude settee,
the crucifx above the door, and the
one partially open window, set deep
in the stone wall.
Soon I was dimly aware that some
one had entered the apartment. 1t
was the mother superior, looking
smaller than ever in the gloom, and
behind her, framed in the narrow door
way, his eyes smiling as though In
enjoyment of my confusion, stood
D'Artigny. I climbed down from the
bench, feeling my cheeks burn holly,
and made obesiance. The mothers
soft hand rested on my hair, and there
was silence, so deep heard the pound
ing of my heart.
Child" said the mother, her voice
low but clear. "Rise that ] may see
your face. All! it has not so greatly
changed in the years, save that the
eyes hold knowledge Of sorrow. Sis
ter Celeste hath told me your story,
and If it be sin for me to grant your
request then must 1 abide the penance,
for it is in my heart to do so. Until
I send the sister you may speak alone
with Monsieur d'Artigny."
She drew slightly aside, and the
young man bowed low, hat in hand,
then stood erect, facing me, the light
from the window on his face.
"At your command, mademoiselle,"
he said quietly. 1.-THE mother tells me
you have need of my services. This
Hugo Chevet-he is brute. I know
is his abuse beyond endurance?"
'No, no." FASTENED to explain. 'In
his way he is not unkind. The truth
is he has lived SO long in the woods
alone, he scarcely speaks. He-he
would marry me to Monsieur Cassion."
Never will forget the look of sheer
delight on his face as these words
burst from me. His hand struck the
bench, and he tossed back the long
hair from his forehead, his eyes merry
with enjoyment
aAh, good! BY all the saints, IDS
even as l hoped. Then have no fear
of my sympathy, mademoiselle. Moth

wine snop likely with others OF ma
kind"
There were servants at the door and
an officer, who scanned the cards of
those in advance of US, yet passed Cas-
sion, with glance at his face, and
word of recognition. observed him
turn and stare after me, for our eyes
met, but, almost before 1 knew what
had occurred, found myself in side
room, with maid helping to remove
my wraps, and arrange my hair.
I will not describe the scene in the
great ballroom, for now, as / write,
the brilliant pageant is but dim
memory, confused and tantalizing. /
recall the bright lights overhead, and
along the walls, the festooned banners,
the raised dais at one end, carpeted
with skins of wild animals, where the
governor stood. the walls covered with
arms and trophies of the chase. the
guard of soldiers at each entrance, and
the mass of people grouped about the
room.
Many a name reached my ears IA
nous in those days, but forgotten long
since; and once or twice, as we slowly
made our way through the throng,
Cassion pointed out to me some char
acter of Importance in the province,
or paused to present me with formal
ity to certain officials whom he knew.
1t was thus we approached the dais,
and awaited our turn to extend felici-
tations to the governor. Just before
us was Du L'Hpt, whose name Cas-
sion whispered in my ear, tall, slen-
der man, attired as a courier du bois,
with long fair hair sweeping his shout
ders. I had heard of him as a daring
explorer, but there was no premonition
that he would ever again come into
my life, and was more deeply inter
ested in the appearance of La Barre.
He was a dark man, stern of face,
and with strange, furtive eyes, con-
cealed behind long lashes and over
hanging brows. Yet he was most gra-
cious to Du L'Hut, and when he turned
and perceived Monsieur CasSion next
in line, smiled and extended his hand
cordially.
"Ah, Francois, and SO you are here
at last, and ever welcome. And this"
he bowed low before me in excess OF
gallantry, "no doubt will be the Made
moiselle la Chesnayne of whose charms
1 have heard so much of late. By my
faith, Cassion, even your eloquence
hath done small justice to the lady.
Where, mademoiselle, have you hidden
yourself, to remain unknown to us Of
