words you like. And I've got the pa

BrOusseau WINGED and staggered
back dumfounded: there was no mis-
taking now that the man was afraid.
Though Madeleine would not deign to
acknowledge that she had listened to
Lafe's words. LATE caught the flicker
of her eyelids as she glanced quickly
toward BrOuSSeau, and he knew that
at the same instant she had seen the
look on BrOusseau's face. The Seig-
neur, mounting impotently, had kept
trying to. rise; but now he sat open
mouthed in his chair, and thereafter
they listened.
It'll tell you why he wants the
seigniory," continued Lafe Il guess
it's part plain greed. but there's an
other reason, and that explains why
he wants to get Mr.. Askew off. There's
an asbestos mine on the iSland-Look
at him Look at him !"
Brousseau was glazing at him, the
picture of impotent rage. LATE, hav-
ing indicated him with his hand re-
slmed:
He kept it off the map in our office,
pretending the island isn't on our linn
it's, and he spread that story. but you
know better. Mr.. ROsny. The island
has the best asbestos mine this side of

Madeleine raised her eyes and LATE
read in them the same intuition that
was in BrouSseau's. and also her chal-
lenge. she was arming to oppose him
in his fight for Hilary. she was prepar-
ing to fight against M that she held
dearest, for the sake of the swindler

courage, but this he had expected.
My business is with Mr.. Rosny,"
he said.
Don't let that trouble you. | speak
for Monsieur Rosny," answered Brous-
seau
You'll hear for him, too. then re
torted Lafe. "Mr. Rosny, that man Is
liar, a thief and swindlng rogue.
That's what I've come to prove"
Brouseau started forward, his face
pale with rage. As he placed himself
in fighting attitude LATE calmly as
sumed that of defense the left fist
ready, the right arm across his chest,
turned outward and slightly upward.
BrouSseau WAS no coward but he hcSi-
tated, and his moment passed.
The SeiGneur's face grew dark with
anger. "No man can say such things
Of guest of mine" he cried. and
grippcd the arms of his chair as if try
ing to rise Madeleine bent over him
and restrained him. Her face was
flushed with resentment.
Il told you my business was with
you. Mr. Rosny," said LATE, upper
turbed. Il amt speaking to him. God

He says he's speaking for you, so let

CHAPTER XIV.
LATE Takes a Hand.

Lafe was surprised to feel the bitter
tang of the air when he left the mill
office. 1t was going TO be winter now,
he reflected. and, if Hilary c0uid be
held only three days. there could be
no question of an immediate journey
10 Quebec.
Reaching the waste of open ground
before the Chateau, he saw that a
sleigh had been there that day; pos
siblJ It was in the stables now. He
rang the bell. nodded to R0bitaille,
who opened the door. disregarded his
incomprehensible address, which
seemed to negative Lafe's wish to en-
ter and went by instinct into the liv-
ing room at the end of the hall for the
first time in his life.
He tapped at the door, but there
came no answer. He Knocked more
loudly, and went in without waiting
for any. He discovered the Seigneur
in a big leather chair before the huge,
glowing fire, Madeleine standing be-
side hin and Edouard Brousseau a
short distance away. There was an
atmosphere of immediate constraint,
as if Lafe's appearance had interrupt
ed q tense interview. LATE sensed it,
but he did not care. He could hardly
believe his luck. He had wanted
Brousseau there badly, but he had not
hoped TO meet him.
BrOusseau was the first to speak.
He may have guessed the nature of
Lafe's errand from Lafe's attitude,
though not its fullness. He scowled.

In sneering tone to Monsieur ROsny.

81 shall never go TO him ]"
And LATE had reached the end. His
outraged justice had led him to the
goal but it was the wrong goal. He
was helpless, he was beaten. He
stepped aside, and she ran past him,
hurrying up the stairs, whose faded
carpet was held by furnished rods
that cleaned between her moving feet.
LATE looked along the gloomy hall
at the portraits in their gilt frames.
and he felt the unreasoning, stubborn
Rosny spirit that looked out of the
eyes of each, as it had looked out of
Medicines and spoken by her. And
it had met such another spirit in Hill
airy.
Il guess you're wrong all of you,
LATE muttered. Il guess you manu-
featured your code and thought it was
breeding and pride, and you can't help
it. You got your foundations crooked.
You can't help it; that's all.
And with the same logged patience,
but with an added air of hopelessness,
he put on his snowshoes and plodded
from the Chateau.
