more. And you're going to sign as

LATE Connell looked at him as if 1t

'Never mind, LATE. You and will

'And tell you this" went on LATE.
"Give fellows like Baptiste-Baptiste

and you'll see they'll follow you and
take pride in the business. It's the
big fellows we want to get"
Hilary held out his hand. "We'll
shake on that" he said "You accept
the post, LATE, and you won't make a
break for home again?"
Never again, so long as we're on
the job together" LATE answered.
Far off the steamship was pursuing
her way toward Quebec. Hilary,
watching her, was conscious of zest
of living which his conversion of LATE
did not wholly explain. What, he Won

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT


Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Womens' complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased,
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
oition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..

CHAPTER lII.-continued.

"Ah, yes, Monsieur Askew. But,
their wages"
'.Call them here" said Hilary.
Jean-Marie called. and the men came
forward. "Now tell them what / have
told you," Hilary continued.
Jean-Maries translation was met
with volley of intersections. The
little timekeeper began half dozen
explanations and finally gave up in
despair.
''They say it's Monsieur Brousseau's
ORDERS" he explained. ''You see. mon
sieur, we know now that the property
is yours, but Monsieur Brousseau hires
the mill hands,"
"Tell them in future shall hire the
mill hands. Tell them it is my MILL"
This was met with blank incredulity.
Evidently Brousseau's lease of mill
rights had passed for ownership.
Anyway, say that their jobs are
good for the coming year." announced
Hilary, and wondered whether he
dared hope to make good on that state
ment. where's LATE Connell?" he
added.
'Lafe, he is discharged, too an
swered Jean-Marie. "He go right away
to catch the boat home, carrying his
bag. See, Monsieur Askew!"
Hilary looked up. On the crest of
the hill behind Rocky river, against
the skyline, was a solitary figure,
striding along with bag in it's hand.
The down boat to Quebec was al
most due. Looking seward, Hilary
saw the white hull rounding the light

be you change your mind about the
cutting?"
go to the devil !" shouted Hilary.
Maybe you like to beat these men
now, ehy' sneered Leblanc. mo?
All right. You find other boss jobber
Monsieur Askew.'
He clapped on his hat, and, as if
they had rehearsed the scene, the four
ruffians followed Leblanc in solemn
and triumphant parade across the
floor and out of the office.
This was first blood with a ven
geance. Leblanc's lease was neces-
sity; it meant money, and money just
when his capital would be exhausted.
1t was essential to suitcase the tract
to some one else. But there was no
one in st. Boniface capable of assum-
ing charge of such contract. The
habitants had no heads for business
and no money to invest. All that was
paid out in wages flowed back to
the store, owned by the Ste. Marie
company, and to the Ste. Marie sa-
looms. Ste. Marie was bleeding ST.
Boniface white in every way.
Filled with resentment, Hilary coun-
fernandez the order for the rig and
walked up by the mill. His nerves
were raw and quivering as he reached
the end of the strip of land where
Rocky river pours into the gulf be-
low. The whistle blew, and he turned
toward St. Boniface and stopped,
watching the mob of men emerging
from the mill.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1920-01-16
CHAPTER w.
The First Encounter.


Next morning Hilary drove slowly
through his property. He noticed with
approval splendid growth of white
spruce. 1t was a great timber coun-
try; Hilary had already come to that
conclusion, and to this: that, properly
worked and managed, the st. Boniface
tract had the possibilities of consider
able profits, perpetual ones, if he cut
wisely and carefully.
After driving at slow pace for half
an hour he emerged into a little
burned-over district, from which he
could see for good distance on every
side of him. He stopped the pony and
looked about him, trying to get his
bearings.
The road must run down to the
gorge, where was the main way be-
tween the mill and the interior of the
seigniory, Hilary decided
He drove on again. The track had
been disused that season and was over
grown with creeping raspberry briers,
which made progress difficult. Sud-
denly the underground fell away. and
the road ran upward again, hard and
firm, toward a bridge that spanned a
wide creek tributary to Rocky river.
Now Hilary knew where he was 1t
was the creek which he had passed
that morning when he drove out with
Council to inspect the seigniory.
He was about to continue his way
along the main road to the mill, but an
impulse urged him to turn the horse
about and seek the road that led to Le-
blanc's old concession. Presently he
heard the sound of axes among the
trees. He came upon the clearing, to
find the old camp still standing, and
great pile of newly hewn timber
stacked up under the trees.
At Hilary's appearance two or three
men looked up from the logs which
they were saving and whispered. They
seemed to draw together. At that mo-
ment Hilary had a clearly defined i'm
preston of approaching trouble.
He got down from the buggy and
fastened the horse to tree. He ap-
preached little group that had form
ed. where's Monsieur Leblanc?" he
asked the nearest man.
The man scowled and shrugged his
shoulders He glanced toward the
camp. Hilary, looking that way, saw
Black Pierre emerging from one of
the huts. He went toward him, and the
two men met face to face.
Still without reason to believe in
Pierre's hostile intention, Hilary sud-
denly became aware that they were
hinged by circle of men, who gradu-
ally drew in toward them.
Morning" said Hilary, nodding.
"Where is Monsieur Leblanc?"
II dom know" answered Pierre,
scowling. Look for him if you want
him. He's your man, amt he?"
s HE is, but you are not. What are
you doing on my land? And these men
ARE they yours?"
what you mean, Your land? de-
manded Pierre. 81 work here for Mon
sieur Brousseau, with Monsieur Brous-
seau's men,"
Hilary saw, out of the corner of his
eye, that the ring was swiftly con-
tracting. 1t struck him that Pierre and
he were posted face to face, like prize
fighters. He tried to keep his temper

house point, and the black smoke from
her tunnels an inverted cone against
the heavens. Evidently LATE would
De homeward bound within half
hour; and no time was to be lost if he
hoped to stop him.
He jumped into the buggy and urged
the horse through the disputing crowd.
Without LATE Cornell he felt that his
chance was almost hopeless one.
He drove madly along the cliff and
down the last descent. AS he reached
the stable the ship was being attached
to the wharf. Hilary jumped out and
ran to the wharf. A few passengers
were gathered about the little baggage
office and others were standing before
the gangway, waiting to embark.
Among them was LATE, with carpet
bag. Hilary flung himself upon him
just as he set foot upon the planks.
LATE spun round and looked sullenly
at him. Hilary held to his arm.
whats the matter, Lafe?" he asked.
'What are you deserving for?''
whats that you say?" demanded
LATE ferociously. Deserving what?
DESERVING who? / guess / don't have
to stay here when I've been fired, do /,
even if my contract is good till Octo-
.5ser one? Just let go my arm! ]"
The passengers had embarked; the
sailors stood waiting for LATE before
pulling back the gangway.
"Come back to your senses, Lafe,'
said Hilary. II haven't fired you, and
I guess you can't go off that way with
out giving me notice. It's all right,
captain. He isn't coming" he called.
The sailors pulled in the gangway.
The ropes We're cast off. The paddle
began to churn the water into froth.
LATE flung his carpet-bag to the floor
angrily.
"Now suppose you tell me what the
trouble is" suggested Hilary.
"What right you got to stop 2" de-
manded LATE. "Say, if it wasn't you
I won't answer for what I wouldn't
have done to you"
whats happened Lafe?"
whats happened? Didn't you tell
me you were going to hold fast?

and he comes out and fires me and or

81 have fired him."
"What?" yelled LATE, spinning
Ground. =
II fired him after we'd had talk,
Lafe. And guess he put on front in
order to get rid of you, because you
know too much, hoping that it would
mean nothing TO me. But it does, LATE.
