a challenge so offensive that the men
of Manitou got their cue for attack
without creating it themselves. Every
Orangeman of the Lodge of Lebanon
afterwards denied that he had raised
the cry; and the chances are that
every one spoke the truth. 1t was like
Marchand to arrange for just such an
episode and so throw the burden of
responsibility on the Orangemen.
ITO hell with the popel To hell
with the pope." the voice rang out,
and it had hardly ceased before the
Manitou procession made a rush for
ward. The apparent leader of the
Manitou roughs was a black-bearded
man of middle height, who spoke
raucously to the crowd behind him.
SUDDENLY powerful voice rang out.

Surprise is the very essence of sue
cessful war. The roughs of Manitou
had not looked for this. They had |
foreseen the appearance of the off

had expected his challenge and warn

something which struck them with |
Observation-Disclosures, the giant Of

formal reading of that stately docu-
ment (the riot act) in the name Of the
queen.
Far back in the minds of every
French habitant present was the old
monarchial sense. He makes, at
worst, poor Anarchist, though he is
a good revolutionist; and the French
colonials had never been divorced from
France.
In the eyes Of the most forward of
those on the Sagalac Bridge, there
was sudden wonderment and con-
fusion. To the dramatic French mind,
ceremonial is ever welcome; and for
a moment it had them in its grip, as
old Gabriel Druse read out in his
ringing voice the trenchant summons.
1t was a strange and dramatic
scene-the Orange funeral standing
still, garish yet solemn, with hundreds
Of men, rough and coarse, quiet and
refined, dissolute and careless, sober
and puritanic, broad and tolerant,
sharp and fanatical-the labor pro-

With Gaelic features and looseness of
iress predominating excitable, brut- {
sh, generous, cruel, without intellect, c
out with an intelligence which in the I
owest was acute, and with tempera- I
nents responsive to drama.
AS Druse read, his eyes now and /
hen flashed, at first he knew not why r
o the slim, bearded figure of the ap- I
,arent leader. At length he caught I
he feverish eye of the man, and held t

t eluded him; he could not place it.

Jowett also had been puzzled at r
