could only try to stanch the blood that

Suddenly there came a terrific lurch
Of the vessel, which began to spin

the wild cries Of Dupont and the ex-
postulations Of Brousseau. The cap

pointed toward the ice field. Brous-

near the wheel and Dupont was
thrashing his arms and bowling his
wild paean. With the last exercise Of
his strength Hilary managed to drop
to the ice.
He lay there. Madeleine croucbed

an exclamation and followed Pierre
back into the darkness of the lumber
piles.
Silence followed. That wait was
tense and nerve-gripping. Hilary tried
to get Madeleine to return into the
cabin. but she kept her place at his
side. Then, to Hilary's utter surprise,
he heard Brousseau's voice, and dis

But as neither answered him he

"No" shouted Hilary.
He had had the sense that Brous-
seau meditated some treachery, but he
was not prepared for what followed.
Madeleine cried to him and pulled
him back. just as Pierre and Leblanc
leaped down from the forecastle roof,
to which they had climbed during
Brousseau's fictitious parleying. Each
had his knife ready, and they were
upon Hilary together.

and Hilary never knew afterward how
lie escaped. But he thrust his club
into Leblanc's face, and, then, as the
man stumbled back, brought It down
with full force upon Pierres skull.
All the strength of his arms went
into the blow. Pierre never spoke

again. He went reeling across the
deck like an inanimate thing, struck
the bulwark, and, as the schooner
lurched, toppled into the sea. He was
probably dead before he disappeared
beneath the waves.
Leblanc rushed frantically toward
the barricade. Hilary was upon him
when he saw Brousseau whip out re-
volver and take deliberate aim at him.
He felt the bullet clip his cheek. Twice
more Brousseau fired. At the second
shot Hilary stumbled and fell fiat in
the cabin entrance. At the third. Le-

round twice and collapsed In front of
the barrier.
Madeleine dragged Hilary within the
cabin. Blood was gushing from a
wound In his breast. Frantically she
began TO tear away the upper part of
his clothing and to endeavor to stanch
the wound. Suddenly she perceived the
little rusted revolver upon the floor.
She snatched II up and ran TO see
Brousseau In the act of crossing the
barricade. She pushed 1t into his
face.
Brousseau cursed and dropped on the
far side; Madeleine heard him running
into the darkness. She had brought a
temporary respite. She ran back to
Hilary. But II was almost dark in the
cabin, and there was hardly anything
she could do. He was conscious, but

appearing again elusively, until they
blended with the fog and the darkness
and vanished finally.
The horse, left uncontrolled, swung
round and galloped homeward, trail
ing the empty sleigh behind him. Marie
stood shudderlng at the end of the
wharf. For while she stared OUT in
terror toward the invisible schooner,

nothing, but she could still Lear the

Presently. with low cry. she turned
and began running homeward. She
staggered into the cottage and sank
down before the stove, crouchlng
there.
When Hilary reached the wharf II
was already dark. He had been rec
ogniZed by no one on the way. He
went straight aboard the schooner,
and found Dupont on deck.
"When do you start?" he asked.
Immediately, monsieur" replied
the captain quietly.
The schooner contained n tiny cabin

ing away. He did not want to look
upon st. Boniface again.
He put his foot upon the top rung
of the ladder that led down TO the
forecastle. As he did so he felt
stunning blow upon the back of the
head. He staggered, slipped, and fell
down the ladder into the little open
space before the cabin.
Half dazed, he was barely conscious
Of seeing the sr.nning faces OF Pierre
and Leblanc stare into his. His ever
coat was torn from his back, his pork-
cts emptied. He waited for the knits

was lifted and thrown Into the cabin.
The outlaws ran back TO assist Du-
pont in getting up the sails. II was
not Brousseau's plan to dispatch him
within hearing OF the shore.
He heard the sails being hoisted,
and felt the schooner moving from the
wharf. Then he heard low cry and

they are more than thankful for them.
There is real joy in their many excel

discriminating and sophisticated of de-
mands. The colors, lines. cloths, trim
nings and the marvellous tailoring
combine to place them little ahead
of anything else IN our regard. We
may expect to see our streets filled
with women so well outfitted that 1t is
Z pleasure to look at them.

my materials that are soft and pill
able and that seem to show colors at
their best, are at hand for designers,
and seem to have inspired them. Lines
are conservative and pleasing and
there is sufficient variety in styles. Furs
we would expect to find in the COM
pany of fabrics that resemble and sug-
gest them and they are used with
great discretion on the new suits.
