The question of eonscription IN
Canada has brought to the world
attention the fact that Quebec and
its French Canadian population are
3 distinct and rather se&-apart factor
IN the life of Canada. The general
conception, and a correct one, Of the
vast Dominion just across our north
ern border, is that il Is country
much like our own, Drumming over
with the energy that grasps all
modern innovations. It surprises
many, however, TO learn chat in some
parts of the Province of Quebec con
ditions have changed little since the
days of the first French pioneers.
This Is true only, however, of some
parts Of Quebec, for all the re-
mainder of the Dominion is exceed
ingly up-to-date.
The French Canadian Of Quebec is
above all else landowner and
passionately attached to his acres,
few though they may be in number.
In the beginning the land was owned
bg the Seignenrs who parceled it out
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1918-01-10

to the people; they in turn paid a
small rental in the shape Of taxes,
The tax was an acknowledgment Of
the Seigneurs' rights to reclaim the
lands, This state Of affairs was in
tolerable to the people, who insisted
and secured the right to own the land
in fee. At the same time they took
to themselves the name 'Habitant. I"
meaning free inhabitant," term of
which they were, and still are, justly
proud and Jealous.
The Habitant of today lives IN the
same manner and often Ia the same
house as did his great, great grand
father. An investigation In 1908 es-
tablished the fact that there were
two hundred and seventy families
living on homesteads that have been
occupied by their families for more
than two hundred years. This is a
charming district full of things
quaint and old-fashioned. The VII

CHAPTER XVII.
Held a Prisoner.


These words, and the laughter with
which they were greeted, made cleal
to my mind the whole truth Of the
uprising. 1t was not SO much the des
tination of the ship, or the nature Of
our cargo, which accounted for the
widespread spirit of mutiny aboard
as it was the Mccain money. These
other things had been used to infll
ence the men, to convince them that
they had right to seize the vessel
and refuse to continue the voyage, but
it was the glitter of the Mccain gold
which had won converts to this theory
One thing was certain-no argument
of mine, no threat of punishment
would have any present effect on the
fellows. While there might be among
them some who would listen to req
son, this big Irish brute of a Dugar
had control, and he could only be over
come by physical force.
The one and only hope lay in my
escape; in my raising an alarm in
sufficient time to warn Leayord Of
danger. He was fighting man, anG
armed; one cry would put him on his
guard, and his position on the poor
would enable him TO put up a strong
defense. These thoughts flashed
through my mind as l stood there
staring into Dugan's face. / dared moi
glance about, or seem to harbOr any
plan of escape, yet knew that all was
clear between me and the three steps
leading to the deck, and that the slid
ing door was not hooked. The fellows
were gathered closely about US in 8
half-circle, Dugan alone being within
reach of my arm. The only weapon
to the right. The fellow must have
felt some vague glimmer of my pur
pose, for he gripped my shoulder, his
iron fingersspinching the flesh.

this vicious attack, made an instant's
struggle, but was quickly crushed back,
a mercilesS hand gripping my throat
Almost at the same moment the reyOl-

cold muzzle thrust against my cheek.

tense voice, and ! knew the speaker

Whites fingers choked me into help
less silence, his knee crunching hard
into my breast. 1t was Liverpool Red
who answered sullenly:
''T knocked over capstan bar, sir;

Leayord growled something, the
words failing to carry to us against the

''Take it from NE we know what we're

collar, jim"
With Whites hand gripping me, and
my own revolver at my head, any at
tempt to break away would have been
simply suicide. The thick fog hid the
scene from those on watch aft, and
that the two. men were reckless and
desperate, their plans well laid, was
evident. The gray light revealed their
faces, and there was no mercy in the
scowling eyes.

White, his fingers twisted in the jacket

there were too many of them, nor could
I protect my rear. They swarmed to
either side, and clambered up behind
me; the low beams Of the upper deck
permitting no swing to my arms; one
fellow gripped my feet, and another
leaped at my throat. I was tripped and
flung headlOng, the full weight Of a
mans body crashing down on top of
me. Then came oblivion.
How long / remained unconscious

some hours. for when struggled back
