WE DON'T Wo2K AT ALL.
In Fact, We Have No Time to, as This
Aruument Proves.

With the present agitation for an

comes the statistician who proves that
by rights the American workingman
should work only one day. Follow the
argument closely:
There are by common consent 36o
days in the year. Doctors agree that d
man should devote one-third of his
time to sleep and one-third to recrea-
ton. Counting one-third Of year as
approximately 100 days, we have 121

Subtract from this the fifty-two Sun

hand, and permitted him to assist me
down the bank. The new arrival was
just within the edge of the forest,
bending over a freshly kindled fire,
barely commencing to blaze, and be-
side him on the grass lay a wild fowl,
already plucked of its feathers. So
intent was the fellow at his task, he
did not even lift his head until my
companion hailed him.
"Barbeau, here is the lady Of whom
l spoke-the wife Of Monsieur Cas-
sion"
He stood up and made me salute
as though were an officer, as odd
looking little man as ever l had seen,
with a small, peaked face, mop or
black hair, and a pair of shrewd, hui
morous eyes. His dress was that Of

"Yes, madame, Of the Regiment

II wonder have you served long!
My father was an officer in that COM
mand-Captain la Chesnayne."
The expression on the mans face
changed magically.
"You the daughter Of Captain la

bursting forth uncontrolled, "and mar

was suppressed by someone, and La
Chesnayne was killed three months
later, without knowing that he had
won the favor of the king"
but Cassion knew; he was ever
hand in glove with La Barre"
1--WE have cause to suspect SO, and
now, after listening to your tale, to
believe that Captain la Chesnayne'a
death was part Of carefully formed
plot. By accident the lady here
learned Of the conspiracy, through
overhearing a conversation, but was
discovered by La Barre hiding behind
the curtains Of his office. To keep
her quiet she was forced into MARI
rage with Francois Cassion, and bids
den to accompany him on this journey;
to Fort st. Louis"

shrewdly "Such marriage would place
the property in their control by law
Had Cassion sought marriage previ-

His eyes were upon me as he asked
the question, and I answered him
frankly.

my uncle, Hugo Chevet, and, while
he never spoke to me directly of mar

right to have them explained. Was
there quarrel between her father and
this Francois Cassion"
cay, there was, and bitter, although
I know nothing as to the cause. Cas-
sion and La Barre-he whom I now
hear is governor of New France
were alike opposed to Captain la Ches-
nayne, and but for reports they made
he would have been the colonel. He
struck Cassion in the mess tent, and
they were to fight the very morning

captain was shot from behind"

entered behind the ear, for was first
to reach him, and he had no other
enemy in the Regiment Carignan-Sal-
liers. The feeling against NJ. Cas-
sion was so strong that he resigned in
few months You never heard this?"
I could not answer, but stood silent
with bowed head. 1 felt D'Artigny
place his hand on my shoulder
"The lady did not know" he said
gravely, as though he felt the neces-
sity of an explanation. "She was at
school in a convent at Quebec, and no
rumor reached her. She is thankful
to you for what you have said, Bar
beau, and can trust you as her fathers
friend and conrade. May I tell him
the truth, madame? The man may
have other information of value"
1 looked at the soldier, and his eyes
were grave and honest.
EYES," I answered, at can do no
harm"
D'Artigny's hand was still on my
shoulder, but his glance did not seek
my face.
"There is some low trick here, Bar
BEAU" he began soberly, "but the de-
tails are not clear. Madame has
trusted me as a friend, and confided
all she knows, and I will tell the facts
to you as I understand them. False
reports were made to France regard
ing Captain la Chesnayne. We have
not learned what they were, or who
made them, but they were so serious
that Louis, by royal decree, issued or
der that his estates revert to the
crown. Later La Chesnayne's friends
got the ear Of the king, no doubt
through Frontenac, ever loyal to him,
and by royal order the estates were
restored to Ills ownership. This order
Of restoration reached Quebec soon
