perfect condition. seemed to be as strong
as at the start. Those In the gallery
who remarked on that fact were treated
to surprise in the form of a more
spirited attack than ever on Gould's
part. His success In the second game
had given Gould considerable added
confidence and he followed the ball more
keenly and swung his racquet with more
abandon, 1t was not long before Gould
had lead of s to 8. The pace was
too fast for Gould to maintain, how
ever. and during period Of three hands
In which his play slackened. Mix
sell not only drew up to him but passed
him. 1t was 10-8 in the Princeton
mans favor when Gould spurted again
and ran the game out quickly at 15-11.
To all appearances Mixsell was hit
ting just as hard and covering just aa
much ground in the fourth game as In
the first He fought to even the score,
but the manner in which Gould turned
apparently untakable placements into
winning points was discouraging. Gould
led throughout the game and won more
easily than In the other two, counting
his fifteenth point In the thirteenth
hand.

into the reasons which prompted the
Clevelands to leave the Louisiana

be far too gay for the Yankees. There

CHAPTER XVII.
Father lucien Arrives.

Father Lucien had grown very fond
of Hilary. He did not know what to
do. Hilary was In the woods now, and
almost inaccessible. The cure had not
even LATE to wrangle with. His days
passed in detection. Moreover, the
matter Of Ste. Marie bothered him.
Father Lucien had been jeered out of
the village, and he knew that II the
bishop heard Of 1t he would be trans
ferred to another parish. Father Lu-
Glen loved St. Boniface, where he had
spent all his life.
He had sent t. Quebec for a book on
siugle-stick exercises, which he had
seen advertised in an old magazine.
He had become interested, and had
fashioned a fine singlestick from q
plant hazel bough. Father Lucien
followed the instructions given In the
book with patient care, and with the
best results. He was very thorough
in all that he did. His muscles began
to grow, his physical health became
excellent. Soon he became quite eI
pert. 1t was a sight to see the cure
practicing lunges in the seclusion on
his study. among the theological vol
umes; but nobody had seen him except
his old housekeeper, and it took sew
eral minutes to convince the old lady
that her revered charge had not gone
suddenly insane.

Hilary returned no answer, but
Brousseau. apparently confident of
Hilary's honor, pushed forward and
came up TO the barricade.

But as neither answered him he
dropped his pose of blandness and ad-
dressed Hilary.

cried. That's only a drop in the

"No!" shouted Hilary.
He had had the sense that Brous-
seau meditated some treachery, but he
was not prepared for what followed.

him back, just as Pierre and Leblanc
