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 pite0usly. 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 narrow
passage among the cottages.
But az 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. Ae was glad Hilary had
not seen Baptisre. He meant to say
nothing Of it.
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 finery awry; she
looked pitiful and frightened. Hilary
felt 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 it
from her and opened the door. Never
go TO that place again." he said stern
ly. Let this be a lesson TO you !"
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"
Il hope so. I've seen enough this
evening, LATE. 1t makes me sick to
think that there are wretches vile
enough to encourage this, for money or
for influence" He turned on him. "If
| can trace Brousseau's hand in this
work, he said, "heayen help him !"

CHAPTER VII.
aLook to Your Boom!D

Baptiste worked all the next Monday
on the boom, fiercely and unsparlng of
himself or his men. Hilary, a little
puzzled by the little mans sullen man
ner toward himself, attributed it TO his
personal distress at what had hap
pc .ed 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. TIE wooden structure had
been immensely fortified with great
trunks. dashed and nailed together,
resting ia concrete which had been
nodded into the crevices of the rocks
ON either side of the cataract. Hilary
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 sIuice 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 diseOv-
cred that the Ste. Marie enterprise ex-
listed only upon that Of St Boniface,
and, like the parasitic plant, withered
when It's prop and sustenance was
withdrawn.
1t 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
Size had evidently been 10 the ste,
Marie territory. and, he suspected, on
a 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 sprzce and Pine, upon the other.
Wauwatosa news. [volume] (Wauwatosa, Wis.) 1900-1948, 1920-01-30

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 s.sil of recognition. when
be was al:nost thrown from his feet
oy vibration Of the ground, followed
by dull roar that grew into an in
fernal crescendo and rolled away un-
dergroLud in a prolonged reverbera-
ton. Tue charge had been exploded.
Hilary saw The horse rear. curvet.
and then. maddened with fear, leap
wildly forward. An instant later it be-
came clear that it 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 snaftle
She was practiced horsewouian,
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
a 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

of logs hurled free and reboundng
from ana 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
