difficulty.
But Father Lucien forestalled him
with a visit that evening. He was
agreeably surprised by the warmth of
his welcome, heard Hilary attentively.
and at once volunteered to assist him.
"But there will be no trouble, mon
sieur," he said. captain Dupont is

Ste. Marie people.

Father Lucien stopped anc thumped
his stick upon the chipstrewn sand.
"Now that is exactly what was in
my mind when l started out to see
you today, Monsieur Askew," he an
swered. "They are bad people over at
Ste. Marie, and they are making ST.
Boniface as bad as they are. They
laugh at me when l speak to them. 1t
is bad; but it cannot go on. Monsieur
Askew, as said to you the day l see
you, 'ope we shall be frien's. Now
/ know we shall be, and, please God,
we shall at least keep the brandy out
of st. Boniface"
They stopped and shook hands upon
their compact, and then went on to-
gether, past the struggling outskirts
Of the village, beyond the wharf, until
they reached Dupont's cottage.
The cure tapped at the door. With
in Hilary could hear the murmur of
voices, which suddenly ceased. Then
there came the splutter OF match,
and the flame of a lamp. Hilary saw
girls figure in silhouette against the
shade.
1t was that of Marie Dupont, the
captains daughter, and Hilary remem-
bered that there was some mystery
about her; he had seen her going her
solitary way about the village, ignored
by all and ignoring all.
At the same time he saw another
figure sinking away into the shadows
of the pines. Father Lucien saw it
too, and darted forward and caught it
by the arm, and drew it toward the
beach.
1t was a girl of about four and
twenty, with foolish, weak face and
gaudy finery.
"Nanette Bonnat," said the cure
very sternly 'how often have for
hidden thee to come here?

pering and struggling.

stood on the threshold. The flicker

Madeleine Rosny and Brousseau ahead
Of him, at the top of the rise. They
seemed to be talking earnestly, and
Hilary held back. unwilling TO surprise
them. Presently he saw Brousseau
spur his horse and gallop away IN the
direction OF Ste. Marie, while Made
leine came slowly toward him.
She saw him and turned her horse
aside to let him pass. She had been
crying, and there were traces of tears
still on her cheeks. She would have
waited for him to go by. her face
averted, but Hilary placed his hand
upon the horses bride.
"Mademoiselle Rosny-" he began.
"Let me go on" she said in low
tone.

CHAPTER Iv.-cOntinued.

How far could he count on Il IN?
To the last penny, perhaps, and liter
ally. Their jobs would hold them to
him in spite of Brousseau, just so long
as their wages We're Forthcoming.
Probably nine-tenths of them resent
ed his presence in their country. His
victory over Black Pierre had raised
him in their estimation; they might
hate him instead of despising him, but
that was all. He could count on the
devotion and faithfulness of perhaps
one man besides LATE Connell-Iittle
Baptiste.
The gang was hard at work below
the dam. strengthening the structure
of the boom. Riyiere Rocheuse, pour
ing down from the foothills of the
Laurentians, speeds with great force
through the gorge above ST. Boniface,
widens opposite the settlement, and
gathering its waters there, shoots
straight as dart over the broken
cliff into the gulf.
If, when the jam was broken, the
pressure of the great mass of logs
proved too strong for the boom, in
stead of passing into the flume they
would pour over the cataract into the
st. Lawrence, where their retrieyal
would be impossible. Such an acct
dent had happened on a small scale
once before. If it should happen now
the loss would enc all Hilary's hopes
He was glad Baptiste had seen this
Hilary searched for the figure of the
little timekeeper and general utility
man, but failed to lind it.
He assembled the hill beside the rush
ing cataract. He was crossing the
waste land where the logs and tin
cans were strewn when he saw Jean
Marie. The little man was engaged in
earnest conversation with Black
Pierre behind a shed. Black Pierre
seemed to be protesting vigorously.
The presence of the man beside Bap-
tiste came to Hilary with a shock.
Without changing his pace he adj
vanced toward them, in his mind re-
peating Lafe's advice over and over.
He was still inwardly quivering. yet
trying to appear unconcerned, when
the two perceived him. Pierre turned
toward him with a seowl on his
bruised face. His eyes were black
ened, and he looked the incarnation Of
nlalignancy.
He spoke TO Baptiste quickly, and to
Hilary's surprise Baptiste, without ac-
knowledging his presence, walked
slowly away with him. Baptiste's
sudden departure puzzled Hilary
good deal at the time, and much more
afterWard.

CHAPTER v.
Marie Dupont.

LATE was as respondent as Hilary
over LeDlanc's treachery. Hilary
had only one cause for satisfaction in
the situation, and that was a purely
personal one. He was glad that Lee
blanc's cancellation of the contract had
left the Chateau grounds immune, and
so had neutralized Brousseau's first
move in the campaign.
What CALLED him was the reflection
that in this fight which Brousseau had
thrust upon him he was fighting
Madeleine too. He shrank from the
thought of Madeleine Rosny as Brous-
seau's wife; he tired to think of her
as sacrificing herself for her fathers
sake. Bur this picture would not hold
together; she was, most evidently ae-
quainted with Brousseau's designs, and
approved Of them.

came into the Office and flung down

IN disgust. "Broussea- has had his

saying that you're keeping wages
down, and that Brousseau would give

But Hilary did some hard thinking
and it settled about Dupont. If Brous
seau could buy out Dupont he was
finished; he could never get lumber

ont some shipments before navigation
closed. He decided to appeal to Fa'

CHAPTER VI.
Inside the Dance Hall.

1t had been the general expectation
that Louis Duval would open his sa-
loon that evening. Hilary was aware
that Louis and two assistants were en-
gagged in carpentering behind the
closed door of the shanty. However.
evening came and the house remained
closed. Furthermore, there was gem
eral exodus toward Ste. Marie, and
when the news came that Louis him
self had gone ii became clear that he
had postponed his inauguration of the
test of Hilarys authority. for reasons
known best to himself, or perhaps to
Brousseau.
Hilary came to the decision to ride
over TO Ste. Marie that night and see
what was transpiring there. LATE, 10
whom he confided his scheme. thought
it risky, but, when he could not induce
Hilary TO change It. asked permission
10 accompany him and made him
promise to avoid trouble.
It was about an hour after dark
when they turned up from the beach
into the main street which held the
chief dance halls. Simeon Duval's
place was working full blast, as
were shalf q dozen more, and Hilary
recognized numbers Of his own men
en- route. Nobody appeared to notice
them, however, and they reached
Simeon's place unaccosted, and, stand.
ing uron the porch beside the door.
looked In.
II was n large wooden building,
within which a score of lumbermen
were dancing, mostly with one an
other; but a few had women partners.
There was no pretense of secrecy in
respect of the sale of liquor. Simeon
Duval whom Lafe indicated to Hilary.
was a stoutish. middle-aged man In
shirtsleeves, with pale blue eyes and
thin crop of reddish hair turning
gray. He wore spectacles, which gave
him a strange, scholastic expression.
and the arms beneath his upturned
sleeves We're a mass Of fat and muscle.
The interior was 9ilely hot, gusts of
fetld air came rolling out with the to-
bacco smoke, and the din was deafen-
ing
AS the two stood there Hilary was
aston.shed TO see little Baptiste push
past them and enter. His face was
agitated, and he seemed to see i,oth-
ing but his objective. He strobe
through the dancers toward one side
Of the room, where two girls were
seated. Hilary had observed one of
them decline several invitations to-
dance and drink. though apparently
urged by the other; now he recognized
them as Nanette and Marie Dupont.
Baptiste strobe straight up TO Ma
rie and stood before her. Hilary could
hear nothing, but he saw the little
tlmekeeper gesticulatlng, and appar-
emily inploring her. He saw Marie
shrug her shoulders and avert her
face. Nanette was laughing, and two
or three OF the lumbermen nearby
watched the little scene with amuse-
ment. Baptiste grew more vehement.
Marie turned on him angri1y.

you 10 go there. It Is because 1 honor
you, and"
She was staring at him In greater
distress. He hardly knew whether
she understood.
"If Monsieur Brousseau-" she be-
gan, half-choklng.
Forgive me, mademoiselle, but does
he mean so much to you as that?"
She started and twitched the rein
away. You are insolent - she cried.
''How dare you question me or lay
down the law to me? No. I hava
heard enough. Stay, then, Monsieur
Askew. and cut down the trees that
you have bought. and sell them; but
do not presume to speak TO me any
morer'
She touched her horse with her
spur, and the beast bounded away, al
most fiinging Hillary to the ground.
Her face was flaming; yet. as she
rode Hilary could hear her sobbing
again.
He was sure that Brousseau was
the cause of her distress. He re-
called Lafe's words to himself on the
night of their first meeting. Brous-
seau's grasping hand was stretched
forth not only on the seigniory but on
its heiress- and he vowed that the
battle between them should be fought
out on this ground also.

.'THUS ENDETH THE CHAl'TER.'

Rev. r. NJ. Littleton has on sew
eral occasions In the recent past sent
to The Courier brief articles Of a
religious trend Of thought. We pub
lished these-nOt without some mis-
giving as to the probability OF pro-
VOking discussion. We have received
two communications in answer" to
Mr.. LittletOn's articles, and W. pub

The other would have been pub
lished, but, frankly, the editor Of The
Courier was unable to read enough
OF 1t to get it into type. Mr.. Bear
den's article is not only brief and to
the point, but in good shape as it
comes to us. 1t will be found on this
page.
On several occasions The Courier
has departed from its policy Of steer
ing clear OF religious discussions only
to find that the policy Of total alb
Stinence,' SO far az the secular press
is concerned with religious discus
on the interpretations to be placed
upon the Scriptures. and the secular

Made 225 Miles in 1874 Minutes.

Windsor, Ont, March 31.-What
is believed the fastest distance run
ever made on an American railroad
was registered yesterday when a spe-
cial train Of an engine and two cars
covered the 225 miles between Wind
sor and Buffalo, n. Y, in 1874 min
utes. The time for the 108 miles
from Windsor to st. Thomas was 80
minutes, which breaks all previous
records, while the III miles between
st. Thomas and Buffalo was covered
in 95 minutes.
The trip was made over the New
York Central Canadian division, and
no stop was made on the way except
at st. Thomas, where engines we're
changed. President A. H. Smith, OF
the New York Central lines, and
