CHAPTER xiv.
A Letter From Morris.

The weather continued mild, and
Hilary's financial prospects continued
to improve. There was every likeli-
hood now of being able to carry on
through the winter. BrouSseau had
showed no signs of further interfer-
ence with his men, and there was even
the possibility of getting out another
small load.
Hilary had sent Nanette home to st.
Joseph. She had promised to write to
him, but. as he had expected, he had
not heard from her. Baptiste had
thrown up his position with Dupont
and gone into the Ste. Marie limits to
Trap. Marie Dupont avoided Hilary
he had not seen her since the day of
their adventure.
AS for Dupont, whatever he knew,
he showed no signs. And things seemed
to settle into equilibrium, though Hill
airy was sure that denouement was
to follow. He could only wait pa
tiently for that No action could come
from him. He could not violate his
pledge TO Marie in order to secure him
self with Madeleine
Then came the news which stunned
Hilary out of his mental apathy. Mad
eleine was to marry Brousseau. II
was to be in three weekS-at Christ
mas, and the banns had been read in
church that Sunday morning for the
first time.
What had happened was his: The
Seigneur had not given his daughter
any sign of remembrance of the events
that had transpired Immediately be
fore his stroke, though he was in other
respects normal, save for the paraly
7 sis of the left side. But as the weeks
went by he grew more and more
nervous and depressed, until one night
he blurted out:

estate changes hands? l cannot re

old to go anywhere but to the grave.
So ne had remembered all the time
Madeleine put her arms about his
neck. 81 am not going to marry Mon
sieur Askew," she answered.
Then, without warning, the ole
Seigneur fell TO crying and laughing
as if tremendous load of care haC
been lifted from his shoulders. The
land, which had meant so much to him
all his life, now seemed to be every
thing, and he interpreted Madeleine's

TO think of its possibility until that
night.
And she had given him his chance
and he had said nothing.
She accepted the situation and So
down and penned q short, formal let
ter to BrOusSeau.
He came the next day, driving FLU
riously up to the Chateau. He thrus,
Robitaille out OF his way and pushed
into the living room, where he found
Madeleine, deathly white, seated alone,
waiting for him. He opened his arms
to embrace her.
"Sit down. Edouard," she said with
chilling apathy. 81 am going to talk
frankly to you. You wish to marry
me?"
Il want you for my wife" said
Brousseau. "You know that. Yor
know don't think anything of tina

but he did not notice it-"with Mon.

81 do not wish to hear that, mon.
sieur," said Madeleine peremptorily.
"DiabIe, that's natural enough And
so that's forgotten" Brousseau could
afford TO be magnanimous. "Tve heard
for a week past that you'd quarreled,
but I'm not the sort of man % push
in where he isn't wanted" -
"Edouard," said the girl quietly.

THE MODERN BIRD.


''This," said the little bird, sis a
true story"
rs it now?" asked the canary.
1T most certainly is" said the first
little bird who had spoken. He had
a buff-colored breast and was a little
land bird who was on a great ship
far out in the ocean. They had named
him Buffy.
"Of course, you know how l came
here?" he asked.
Il knew there was a great deal of
excitement" the canary said. per
haps you would tell me your story
from the beginning. am sure l would
appreciate it greatly if you would"
"Oh, very WE'LL" said Buffy. Il Will
tell you the whole story. But first
viii tell it to you as it happened"
"Why, were you going TO tell it to me
in any other way?" asked the canary
with his head on one side. looking
most extremely shocked.
'Oh, no." said Buffy. "You quite mis-
understood me, OF. perhaps. l should
say was not very clear"
Il will not interrupt any MORE"
chirped the canary.
Both birds were in large cages. The
canary belonged to a sailor on the
ship which was crossing the Atlantic
ocean, The little buff bird had been
found On the deck one morning, very
nervous ana frightened, his feathers
wet, his heart beating fast, by the sail
or who owned the canary.
He saw that the little buff bird was
still alive and he took him to his cabin
and saw that he was warm again and
that he had some of The canary's extra
supply of food. Then he gave him an
other cage he had and when Buffy felt
better put his cage in the warm, snug
cabin where the canary was and where
the men on board came to read.
"They thought" the canary said,
that you had been blown out to sea-
that is, some of them thought it. They
knew you weren't a sea bird and yet
very few could believe that you had
either flown or blown such a long dis
lance. They said that very few of the
water birds would fly such a distance.
And they didn't see how you could
have been blown such a distance and
still be alive when you got here. You
were alive, but oh, my master said,
you were very tired and wet and nerv-
Gus! / should think you would have
been flying 10 a ship like this in the
middle of the ocean. But here l am
talking some more"
what did they finally decide was
the way l had Gomez" asked Buffy.
"They decided" the canary an
swered, "that you must have flown
