CHAPTER X.
On the Summit Of the Blur.

On the Summit Of the Blur.
Securely screened from observation
by the low growing bushes clinging
to the edge Of the bluff, and yet with
a clear view Of the cleft in the rocks
half way to the river, D'Artigny found
me a seat on h hummock of grass, but
remained standing himself. The sun
was sinking low, warning us that our
time was short, for with the first
coming Of twilight l would certainly
be sought, If l failed to return to the
lower camp.
"You would question me, monsieur"
1 asked doubtfully. ut was for that

YES" instantly aroused by my
voice, but with eyes still scanning
the trail. "And there is no time to
waste, II 1 am to do my part intelll-

way. You have sought me for assist

dignation brought the answering
words to my lips.
"And why not pray! Must l not
defend myself-and what other wea-
pons are at hand? Do owe him kind
ness; or tender consideration? The
man married me as he would buy a
slave"
"You may be justified" he admitted
regretfuIly. "Yet how is this to be
done?"
l arose to my feet and stood before
him, my face upllfted, and, with one
hand, thrust aside the shade of my
hat.
Monsieur, deem you that impossi-
bleT'
His lips parted in a quick smile, re-
veallng the white teeth, and he bowed
low, fiinging his hat to the ground and
standing bareheaded.
Mon dieu! No! Monsieur Cassion

my thought you said yonder that you
despised the man."

otherwise? Yet there lies my strength

self-conceit. He thought me Of the
same kind, but has already had his
lesson. Do you not know what that
means to man like him? More than
ever he will desire my favor. A week
back he cared nothing; was but a
plaything, awaiting his pleasure; his
wife to be treated as he pleased. He

eyes follow me as though he were

"And that then is why you send

My lips trembled, and my eyes fell,
yet must answer.
"He is my husband, monsieur"
1 caught glimpse Of his face, pic
turing surprise, incredulity. He drew
a sharp breath and noted his hand
close tightly on the hilt of his knife.
"YOur husband! that cur! Surely
you do not 'jest?"
"Would that 1 did" l exclaimed,

anger. "NO, monsieur, it is true"

he asked.
gave gesture Of despair.
"He! Never did he even conceive
what occurred, until 1 told him later
on the river. Even now l doubt if
his sluggish brain has grasped the
truth. To him the alliance was an
honor, an opening to possible wealth
in the fur trade through Cassion's in
fuence with La Barre. He could per-
ceive nothing else except his good luck
in thus Kidding himself of the care
of a poor niece who had been a sorry
burden"
But you explained to him"
II tried to, but only to regret the
effort. Giant as he is physically, his
intellect is that of a big boy. All he
can conceive Of is revenge-a desire to
crush with his hands. He hates Cas-
sion, because the man has robbed him
Of the use Of my fathers money; but
for my position he cares nothing. To
his mind the wrong has all been done
to him, and l fear he will brood over
it until he seeks revenge. II he does
he will ruin everything"
D'Artlgny stood silent, evidently in
thought, endeavoring to grasp the
threads Of my tale.
'How did you attain the summit Of
this bluff?' he questioned at last.
"Yonder; there is a deer trail lead
ing down"
"And you fear Cassion may follow"
"He will likely become suspicious
If am long absent, and either seek
me himself or send one of his men.
This is the first moment Of freedom I
have experienced since we left Que
bee. 1 hardly know how to behave
myself"
"And we must guard it from being
the last" he exclaimed, a note of de-
termination and leadership in his voice.
"There are questions l must ask, so
that we may work together in har-
mony, but Cassion can never be al
lowed to suspect that we have COM
munication. Let us go forward to
the end of the trail where you came
up; from there we can keep watch
below"
He still grasped my hand, and 1 had
no thought of Withdrawing it. To me
he was a friend, loyal, trustworthy
the one alone to whom l could con
fide, Together we clambered over
the rough rocks to where the narrow
cleft led downward.

the canoe at the upper landing, and the
Indians busily preparing camp. At

me to undo the neckerchief at my

eyes with one hand.

There was about his action the en-

with an eagerness and delight which
instantly broke down every barrier
between US.
"You waved to me?" he exclaimed.
'You wished me to come"

WORK STARTS
ON NEW HOTEL

Work on the new $4,000 hotel to
be erected at Minden by H. F. Dang
berg and associates, has been started
and within a few month that town
will boast of one of the best hostleries
in the state. The building Is to be of
brick and will be steam heated
throughout. A part of the lower
floor is to be given over to offices.
The new building is to be erected
on the corner lot opposite the bank
building, and part of the old founda-
tion built several years ago for the
proposed hotel, is to be utilized. The
present building is to cover much
more ground that was contemplated
when the former foundation was
built. Excavation for the enlarged
foundation is now under way and be-
fore many weeks go by, the walls of
the new hotel building will begin to
rise.
