Cling helplessly in the crowd, borne
this way and that by the conflicting
currents. Hilary forced his way toward
her and dragged her into the alley.
There she broke down; she fell upon
her knees in the mud, rocking to and
fro and moaning.
Hilary bent over her. LATE saw that
his face was stern. II am going to take
you home," he said.
She looked up at him piteously. She
appeared to recognize him, but was too
terrified to understand. He drew her
to her feet and, with LATE on the other
side, they began to make their way
quickly toward the beach by a narrow
passage among the cottages.
But as they started LATE looked back
and saw, wedged in the crowd behind
them, Jean Baptiste. He had been try
ing to reach the girl, but it was impos-
sible to move foot in that struggling
human torrent. He saw them, and his
eyes were dilated with impotent fury.
There was murder in them as they fell
upon Hilary. LATE shuddered.
His impulse was to wait for the man,
but he recognized that Baptiste was
beyond all reason and self-control. He
had misinterpreted Hilary's action
the only thing now was to elude him
and get the girl away before Baptiste
could follow. He was glad Hilary had
not seen Baptiste. He meant to say
nothing of 1t.
The three set out on their way
Marie at first sobbing and holding
back, then gradually growing calm un-
der Hilary's assurances, and at last
going willingly. Her dress was drag.
gled with mud, her f1nery awry; she
looked pitiful and frightened. Hilary
felt a great wrath growing. in him as
he looked at her. At last they gained
the shore road and presently reached
Marie's cottage.
She felt in her dress for the key
with shaking fingers. Hilary took II
from her and opened the door. "Never
go to that place again." he said stern
ly. LET this be a lesson to you'll"
She went inside. LATE and Hilary
waited till the lamp was lit and,
through the torn shade, they saw Marie
Dupont crouched before the stove, her
face on her arms.
Il guess we'd better be going, LATE"
he said.
"She's had her lesson"
II hope so. I've seen enough this
evening, LATE. 1t makes me sick to
think that there are wretches vile

CHAPTER VII.
"Look to Your Hooml"


Baptiste worked all the next Monday
on the boom, fiercely and unsparing OF
himself or his men. Hilary, little
puzzled by the little mans sullen man.
ner toward himself, attributed it to his
personal distress at what had hap
pened In Ste. Marie. He did not know
that Baptiste was aware of his pres
ence there, and felt happy in the con-
seriousness that he had done him some
service. Nothing would have pleased
him better than to have seen his suit
with Marie Dupont successful.
The strengthening of the boom was
finished. The wooden. structure had
been immensely fortified with great
trunks. dashed and nailed together,
resting In concrete which had been
nodded into the crevices of the rocks
on either side of the cataract. Hillary
examined and approved of the work.
1t seemed to remove all possibility of
danger.
Everything depended on the first
minute after the jam was broken. If
the torrent could be carried off through
the sluice gates, in the main, the logs
would find an easy passage over the
dam into the lake. But actually the re-
enforced boom seemed to resist the
torrent without any likelihood OF
breakage.
The charge was to be exploded at
three in the afternoon. That day Hill.
airy was kept busy in his office. going
over the pay roll in preparation for
the October changes. Gangs of men
had been returning from the south
shore, and he had signed on number.
He was aware that some of Brous-
seau's agents had been at work at
tempting to dissuade them; however,
the men wanted work, and even
Brousseau could not hire them and
keep them idle upon his skeleton COM
pany at Ste. Marie. Hilary discov-
cred that the Ste. Marie enterprise ex-
listed only upon that of ST. Boniface,
and, like the parasitic plant, withered
when its prop and sustenance was
withdrawn.
It was two o'clock by his watch
when he pushed his papers aside and
strolled up the path that led through
the woods toward the gorge. Hilary
had left st. Boniface behind him and
was approaching the gorge, from which
he could hear the shouts of the gang
making preparations for the discharge,
when he saw Madeleine Rosny riding
along the road toward him.
She had evidently been to the ste.
Marie territory, and, he suspected, on
visit to Brousseau. The. path was
narrow, with the descending bank of
the wooded gorge on one hand and a
steep, shelving ascent. overgrown with
young spruce and pine, upon the other.

Hilary drew to one side, to give the
girl passage. He was watching the
trotting horse, now swiftly nearing
him, and wondering whether he ought
to make any sign of recognition, when
he was almost thrown from his feet
by vibration of the ground, followed
by dull roar that grew into an in
fernal crescendo and rolled away un-
derground in a prolonged reverbera-
ton. The charge had been exploded.
Hilary saw the horse rear, curvet,
and then. maddened with fear, leap
came clear that 1t was no longer I'M
der control. The terrified animal bolt
ed at full speed along the road to-
ward him, while the girl pluckily kept
her seat and pulled with all her might,
but unavailingly, on curb and snaftie.
She was a practiced horsewOman,
for none other could have kept her
seat when the horse went rearing
backward; but no amount of skill
could avail unless the beast were got
under control before the downhill into
the village was reached. There was
gate across the track, which Hilary
had closed. Flung over this, it would
be miracle If the girl escaped with
her life.
Hilary made his decision in an in
slant, made 1t with the roar Of the
released torrent in his ears, and the
thunder of the breaking jam, the crash

Arms.
of logs hurled free and rebounding
from and buffeting one another. He
planted himself directly In the course
of the maddened animal, whose hoofs
churned up a shower of stones.
keep your seat |" he shouted to the
girl.
For one instant he saw her, pale,
with frightened eyes, but firm In the
saddle, still pulling against the curb,
while the open mouth, distorted by
the bit and chain that pressed the I'M
derlip, foamed, and the white of the
eyes cleaned wickedly beneath the
ears, fiat with the head. Then Hilary
saw the horse rear and the shod hoOfs
uprise. Then, somehow, he caught
the reins and leaped for the shelving
bank, and missed.
He lost his foothold, but he chung
to the reins, while the horse plunged
and reared, each jerk almost tearing
his arms from their sockets. Now he
was swept against the branches of the
trees that overhung the road, and
blinded by the swishing twigs and
boughs, now the precipice was under
him, and the gorge below, where the
logs cracked and Numbered as they
battered their way down the river.
He saw the girl clinging to the saddle,
then to the beasts name; he tried to
reach her with his arms, but he could
not stop the boiling animal; and then
he was flung free, and the riderless
horse went galloping down the road
toward st. Boniface.
He must have been stunned for a
few moments. for when he opened his
eyes he found himself lying upon a
ledge a little distance from the top of
the steep bank. On the same ledge
was Madeleine Rosny clinging to a
swaying sapling that overhung the
river, and trying to rise.
Hilary scrambled to his feet, to find
that, in spite of painful bruises, he
was uninjured. He gave Madeleine
his hands and pulled her out of the
branches; and they stood looking at
each other.
"Your horse bolted," explained
Hilary. II am sorry you did not know
about the dynamiting."
At his words look of fear came
upon her face; and then it hardened
and her gray eyes flashed angrily.
sYou have saved my lifel" she
cried. "You have saved me, and I
wish you were a thousand miles away.
I wish / had never seen your

you, Mademoiselle Rosny," answered
Hilary. stung into scorn by her In
gratitude. "There is enough room in
this country for both Of us. If you

doubt you can find your way home.
assure you that I have no intention
Of intruding on you further"

CHAPTER vI.-contInued.

Baptiste sprang at her, seized her
ky the sleeve Of her dress, and tried to
pull her from her seat. Hilary saw
Nanette protesting angrily; he could
not hear Baptiste's excited exclama-
lions, but he heard family the scream
that came from Marie's lips. At once
there was general movement toward
fhe group. Some of the lumbermen
interfered. Baptiste turned upon them
with menacing fists. The little man
was beside himself with fury. Then
Simeon came waddling down the room
with his ducklike shuttle, and took
Baptiste by both arms. With slow
But memorable force he led him toward
The door. 1t seemed almost as IL Bap-
Hste, struggling In vain and mounting
incOherently, was in the grip of some
machine, for the momentum of Slime
cn's movements was composed much
more of bulk than of velocity. Amid
the jeers of the crowd Baptiste was
thrust from the door, and Simeon
turned and waddled back into the
room, where the dancing was In full
swing once more.
Hilary saw Marie flying round in
the arms of gigantic woodsman. Bap-
tiste, seated upon the step before the
dance hall, was weeping pitifully. The
little drama came home to Lafe with
equal poignancy. Hilary saw that his
eyes were blazing.
We'll get that girl away from
here" he said.
Lafe nodded, and the two went In.
At first they were not recognized
through the clouds of rolling smoke. 1t
was Nanette who saw Hilary first. She
uttered a sharp exclamation and
pointed toward him. At once the two
found themselves under the fire Of all
eyes.
The news reached Simeon(Duval as
he was reaching up for bottle In his
closet, and he came putting out and
waddled toward Hilary, his pale-blue
eyes fixed on him In malevolent
scrutiny.
Eth, Meestair Askew, you have a
drink on me?" asked Simeon, holding
out the bottle under Hilary's nose.
The action was at once a challenge
and an overture, to be interpreted in
either fashion, according to the hear
er's inclination.
Hilary shook his head. 81 don't
drink. Simeon" he answered curtly.
