The canoe rode close in under the

A little North side miss, whose
mother is dead, lives with her little
brothers and sister at the home of her
grandmother. Her father, who is a
physician, has his Office and home In
another part Of the city.
Surrounded by everything which
brings happiness to the heart of a
child, the little girls thoughts often
wandered to poor daddy, who was all
alone.
One day she surprised her grand
mother with the startling remark |:
Grandma, l wish daddy was a police
man."
"a policeman, dearl Why? Daddy
is a physician, and that is very good
profession, you know"

SYNOPSIS.

Adele Ia Chesnayne, a belle of New
france, is forced into marriage with
Commissaire Cassion, henchman of
Governor La Barre, who is plotting to
Gust La Sale and his garrison from the
frontier Fort St. Louis, on the Illinois
river. Adele had overheard the plotters
from her father and they had kept it
from her. La Barre and Cassion learned
of the girls knowledge-thus the mar
sion and a company for Fort st. Louis.
The bride refuses to share sleeping
quarters with her husband. She has
but one friend, young Rene d'Artigny,
a guide. He is chary of helping her.
Chevet, the girls uncle, one Of the par
ty, is found murdered. A fierce storm
scatters and wrecks the boats. Adele is
rescued by D'Artigny. They learn they
had thought one another guilty of
Chevet's murder. Adele loves her res
cuer. They hide from a search party and
with a new found friend, Barbeau, pro-
coed overland toward Fort st. Louis.

Do you know what that marriage has
cost me? Insults, ever since we left
Quebec. The coward knew I dare not
lay hand upon him, because he was
your husband. We would have crossed
steel a hundred times but for my
memory of you. 1 could not kill the
cur, for to do so would separate US
forever. So I bore his taunts, his re-
vikings, his curses, his orders that
were insults. You think it was easy?
I am a woodsman, lieutenant Of La
Sale, and it has never before been
my way to receive insult without a
blow. We are not Of that breed. Yet
I bore it for your sake-why? Be
cause I loved you"

''You make it trial, a test?"
"Yes-it is a test. But, monsieur,
