until he heard the beat of the pick before
he moved. Then he locked the cabin
door with wooden bolt, and sat himself
down at the table, with the lamp close
to his bent head and Tavish's confession
in. his hands. He cut the babiche threads
with his knife, unfolded the sheets of
paper, and began to read, while Tavish's
mice nosed slyly out of their murky cor
ners, wondering at the new and sudden
stiffness in the cabin and, it may be,
stirred into restlessness by the absence of
their master.
The ground under the snow was dis
couragingly hard. To David the digging
of the grave seemed like chipping out bits
of flint from solid block and he soon
turned over the pick to Mukoki Alter
nately they worked for an hour, and each
time the Cree took his place, David Won
dered what was keeping the missioner so
long in the cabin.
AT last Mukoki intimated, with a sweep
of his hands and hunch of his shoul-
ders, that their work was done. The grave
looked very shallow to David, and he was
about to protest against his companion S
judgment, when it occurred to him that
Mukoki had probably digged many holes
such as this in the earth, and had helped
to fill them again, so it was possible he
knew his business. After all, why did
people weigh down ones last slumber with
six feet of soil overhead, when three or
four would leave one nearer to the sun
and make not quite so chill a bed? He
was thinking of this as he took last look
at lavish. Then he heard the Indian
give a sudden grunt as if some one had
poked him unexpectedly in the pit of the
stomach. He whirled about and stared.
Father Roland stood within ten feet of
them, and at sight of him an exclamation
rose to David's lips, and died there in an
astonished gasp. He seemed to be sway
ing like sick man in the moonlight; and,
impeled by the same thought, Mukoki
and David moved toward him. The mis-
sioner extended an arm. as if to hold them
back. His face was CHASTITY and terrible
almost as terrible as Tavish's, and he

seemed to be struggling with something
in his throat before he could speak. Then
he said, in strange, forced voice that
David had not heard come from his lips
before:
aBury him. There will be-no prayer.
He turned away, moving slowly in the
direction of the forest. And as he went
David noticed the drag of his feet and
the unevenness of his trail in the snow.
FOR two or three minutes after Father
Roland had disappeared into the forest,
David and Mukoki stood without moving.
Amazed and a little stunned by the change
they had seen in the missioner's CHASTITY
face, perplexed by the strangeness Of his
voice and the unsteadiness of his walk as
he had gone away from them, they looked
expectantly for him to return out of the
shadows of the timber His last words
had come to them with metallic hardness,
and their effect, in way, had been rather
appalling. "There will be-no prayer.
Why? The question was in Mukoki's
cleaning, narrow eyes as he faced the
dark spruce, and it was on David's lips
as he turned at last to look at the Cree.
There was to be no prayer for lavish!
David felt himself shuddering.
Suddenly, breaking their silence like
sinister cackle, an eXultant exclamation
burst from the Indian, as if all at once
understanding had dawned upon him. He
pointed to the dead man. his eyes widening.
"Tavish-he great devil" he said.
Mon pere make no prayer. Mey-oo"
And he grinned in triumph; for had he
not, during all these months, told mon
pere that lavish was devil, and that
his cabin was filled with little devils?
"Mey-oo!" he cried again, louder than be-
fore. "a DEVIL A devil" And with a
swift, vengeful movement he sprang to
lavish caught him by his moccasned
feet, and, to David's horror, flung him
tiercely into the shallow grave,
"A devil!' he croaked again, and like
madman began throwing in the frozen
earth upon the body.
David turned away, sickened by the
thud of the body and the fall of the clods
Evening star., 1916-08-13

on its upturned face. A feeling of dread
followed him into the cabin. He filled
the stove and sat down to wait for Father
Roland. 1t was long wait.
He heard Mukoki when he went away.
The mice rustled about him again. An
hour had passed when he heard sound
at the door, scraping sound, like the
peculiar drag of claws over wood, and q
moment later it was followed by whine
that came to him family. He opened the
door slowly. Baree stood just outside the
threshold. He had given him two fish at
noon, so he knew that it was not hunger
that had brought the dog to the cabin.
Some mysterious instinct had told him
that David was alone; he wanted to come
in; his yearning cleaned in his eyes as he
stood there stiff-legged in the moonlight
David held out hand, on the point of
enticing him through the door, when he
heard the soft crunching of feet in the
snow. A gray shadow swift as the wind
Baree disappeared. David scarcely knew
when he went. He was looking into the
face of Father Roland. He backed into
the cabin without speaking, and the mis-
sioner entered. He was smiling. He had
to an extent, recovered himself. He
threw off his mittens and rasped his hands
in an effort at cheerfulness over the fire.
But there was something forced in his
manner. He was like one who had been
in great mental stress for many days in
stead of single hour. His eyes burned
duly with the smodering glow of fever
His shoulders hung loosely, as if he had
lost the strength to hold them erect. He
oh
rubbed his hands and smiled.
"Curious how this has affected me-
David" he said apologetically. at is in
credible this weakness of mine. | have
seen death many scores of times; and yet
l could not go out and look on his face
again Incredible Yet it is so. | am
anxious to get away. Mukoki will soon
be coming with the dogs. A devil, Mu-
koki says. Well perhaps. A strange man
at best. We must forget this night. 1t
has been an unpleasant introduction for
you into our north We must forget it.
We must forget lavish.
And then, as if he had omitted fact
of some Importance, he added:
Il will kneel at his grave-side before
we go.
"lf he had only waited said David,
scarcely knowing what words he was
speaking. "lf he had only waited until
tomorrow, or the next day"
"Yes. if he had waited!"
THE missioner's eyes narrowed. David
heard the click of his jaws as he dropped
his head so that his face was hidden.
"If he had waited" he repeated after
David. "If he had only waited!" And
his hands, spread out fan-like over the
stove, closed slowly and rigidly as if
choking at the throat of something.
Il have friends up in that country he
came FROM" David forced himself to say,
"and hoped he would be able to tell me
something about them. He must have
known them or heard of them.
"Undoubtedly, said the missioner, still
looking at the top of the stove, and un-
clenching his fingers as slowly as he had
drawn them together; "but he is dead.
There was note of finaity in his voice,
sudden forcefulness of meaning as he
raised his head and looked at David.

Tea Table Talks
THE POWER OF PHRASES.
BY May DE Witt Talmage


The American phrase. Patched
up Peace is one of those phrases
that murder thought" said a Scotch
member of the british parliament
the other day It is not my purpose
10 follow up all the rest of what he
said, but. as 1 read 1 thought what
power there is in a phrase. That
American phrase has become ia
miliar in England and it is creating
some sort of influence wherever it
goes.
Some phrases get into the blood
TO such an extent that they infu-
ence deed, action and lives. There
are phrases that have made such an
impression on the mind that when
they come unbidden into the mem
DRY they almost overwhelm us. IL
has been said; 1T would be impos-
sible to live always at the tension
which of necessity accomplishes the
revival OF dead phrases"
Some Of the phrases we learned
as children. from primers or copy
books, have become part of our very
makeup We remember them at
times when we need them, and they
are like life preservers to a drown
ing man. il they come to US at an
OppOrtune time.
Is there anyone who has lived
beyond the teens who has not said
at times: 1T is always darkest just
before dawn" Have we not all at
times been spurred on by the
phrase; Nothing venture nothing
gain" There is a principle Of truth
in both Of those phrases that is
stimulating and encouraging.
We who have been looking for an
opportunity, who neglect little
things which would frequently lead
TO the accomplishment Of most i'm
pOrtant things, have been suddenly
brought face TO face with the phrase:
The opportunity Of a life time does
not come labeled" That is a fact
we cannot get away from He who
waits for an opportunity wastes
lifetime.
The phrase: Enough is as good
as a feast" is rather paradoxical.
How do we know when we have had
enough"
Freud says; eff you see a man
happy as the world goes. contented
with himself. and contented with
what is around him. such man may
be, probably is, decent. respectable
but the highest is not in him" We
are taught that it is the working
man who is the happy man and
that man was made for action. How
then. are we TO know when 10 call
a halt and say: Enough is as good
as a feast"
1t is not my intention 20 cite all
the phrases that occurred 10 me
when l read of that American
phrase. Patched up Peace" that
has travelled into the British par
lament freighted with meaning The
Illustrations are too innumerable TO
mention. Suffice il TO say if we all
dig deep enough we will find some
favorite. or Objectionable phrase.
that has been a factor in cur lives
eight for happiness, encouragement
pessimism or optimism.
