DISTItiBlTION or LABOR
PROVES ANXIOUS PROBLEM
"Onc Of our most anxious problems
has been the supply and the distribu-
ton of skilled labor. There was not
enough skilled labor to 20 round. This
act was recognized by the trades
unions and the government has re-
"etved their hearty assistance through
out in the distribution of skilled labor
and i'm the diluti"n Of skilled labor

unSkillcd labor into the field of skilled
labor is a sacrifice Of skilled labor to

CHAPTER XXI.
We Reach the River.

It was the voice of Boisrondet which
recalled us to a sense of danger.
ut is late, and we must not linger
here" he insisted, touching D'Artigny's
sleeve. 1.-THE guard may discover your
absence. Rene before we get beyond
the stockade. Yet how TN we get
madame safely over the logsY
"She must venture the same as We.
Follow me closely, and tread with
care"
So dark was the night I was obliged
to trust entirely to D'Artigny's guild
ance, but 1t was evident that both men
were familiar with the way, and had
thoroughly considered the best method
of escape. No doubt De Tonty and
his young lieutenant had arranged all
details, so as to assure success. We
traversed the fat roofs of the chain of
log houses along the west side of the
stockade until we came to the end.
The only light visible was a dull glow
of embers before the guardhouse near
vealed a group of soldiers on duty.
The stockade extended some distance
beyond where we halted, crouched low
on the fat roof to escape being seen.
There would be armed men along that
wall, especially near the gates, guard
ing against attack, but the darkness
gave us no glimpse. There was no
firing, no movement to be perceived.
The two men crept to the edge, and
looked cautiously over, and I chung
close to D'Artigny, nervous from the
silence, and afraid to become separat-
ed. Below us was the dense blackness
of the gorge.
'This is the spot" whispered DAT
tigny, land no alarm yet How far
TO the rocks"
"De Tonty figured the distance at
forty feet below the stockade; we have
fifty feet of rope here. The rock shelf
Is narrow, and the great risk will be
not to stop off In the darkness. There
should be an iron ring here somewhere
-ay here it is; help me draw the knot
taut. Rene"
"Do we-do we go down here, mon
sieurP" I questioned, my voice falter-
ing.
Here, or not at all: there are guards
posted yonder every two yards. This
is our only chance to escape unseen"
Boisrondet tested the rope, letting 1t
slip slowly through his hands down
into the darkness below, until 1t hung
at full length. "It does not touch" he
said. ''yet 1t cannot lack more than a
foot or two. Faith! We must take the
risk. / &c first Rene-hush! tits best
so-the lady would prefer that you
remain. while / test the passage. The
devil himself may be waiting there"
He gazed down, balancing himself on
the edge, the cord gripped in his hands.
"Now mind my word; ono on the
rock below, I will signal with three
Jerks on the cord. Haul up then slow
~, so as to make no noise; make a
moose for the lady's foot, and lower her
with care. You have the strength"
"Ay, for twice her weight"
Good: there will be naught 10 fear,
madame, for I will be below to aid
your footing. When / give the signal

'sThe rope ts to be left dangling?"
"Only until / return. Once / leave
