ther Lucien to help him out in this
| difficulty.
But Father Lucien forestalied him
with visit that evening. He was
agreeably surprised by the warmth OF
his welcome, heard Hilary nttentively,
and at once volunteered to assist him.
But there will be no trouble, mon
sieur." he said. Captain Dupont is
independent and he does not love the
Ste. Marie people.

was going TO have a talk with you
later about certain things that are OBJ
jectionable-the liqour trade, for in

Father Lucien stopped and thumped
his stick upon the chipstrewn sand.
"NOw that is exactly what was in
my mind when I started out to see
you today, Monsieur Askew." he an
Swered. They are bad people over nt
Ste. Marie. and they are making St.
Boniface as bad as they are. They

Askew. as l said to you the day | see
you, 'ope we shall be frien's Now
I know we shall be, and. please God
we shall ut 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 SpluttCr of match,
and the flame of lamp. Hilary saw
girls figure in silhouette against the
shade.
1t was that of Marie Dupont, the
captains daughter, and Hilary rcmem-
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 1t
by the arm. and drew 1t toward the
beach.
1t was a girl Of about four and
twenty, with a foolish, weak face and
gaudy finery.
"Nanette Bonnat." said the cure
very sternly, how often have | for

pering and struggling.
The door opened and Marie Dupont

ing light of the lamp within fell on
her face, Illuminating one side and
leaving the other half in shadow. The
face was pretty, but sad. embittered,
and rather hard. The cure, still hold
ing Nanette by the arms, turned to-
ward Marie.
$50 my instructions count for moth
ing!" he said angrlly.
We'll why should she not come
here, Monsieur Tessier?" demanded
Marie Dupont "Haye l so many
friends in st. Boniface that should
turn from those few have? In Ste.
Marie they are glad to see me. Is IT
so wrong that I should go there with
my friend to dance sometimes, when
the doors of st. Boniface are closed
to me?'
The ringing scorn In her voice was
characteristic of some latent strength
she seemed to Hilary like one who has
been hammered Into strength upon the
anvil of life.
Father Lucien released Nanetts.

when the news came that Louis hin

Hilary came to the decision to rid.

when they turned up from the beach.

recognized numbers of his own mel

As the two stood there Hilary was
nstonfshed to see little BaptIste push
past them and enter. His face wasI

through the dancers toward one side
Of the room, where two girls were
seated. Hilary had observed one 0.
them decline several invitations toI
dance and drink. though apparent!
urged by the other; now he recognized
them as Nanette and Marie Dupont.
Baptiste strobe straight up to Ma
RE and stood before her. Hilary could
hear nothing. but he saw the little
timekeeper gesticulating, and appar.
emily imploring her He saw Marie
shrug her shoulders and avert her
face. Nanette was laughing, and two
or three Of the lumbermen nearb!
watched the little scene with amrse
ment. Baptiste grew more vehement
Marie turned on him angrlly.
The Dolores star., 1920-05-21
CHAPTER v.
Marie Dupont

Lafe was as respondent as Hilary
over Leblanc's treachery. Hilary
had only one cause for satisfaction in
the situation. and that was a purely
personal one. He was glad that Le-
bIanc's cancellation of the contract had
left the Chateau grounds immune, and
80 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 tried to think of her
as sacrificing herself for her fathers
sake. But this picture would not hold
together; she was most evidently ac-
quainted with Brousseau's designs, and
approved of them.
On the day after the interview with
Leblanc / q new development occurred.
Iafe. who had been grumbllng all day,
came into the office and flung down
his hat In utter detection.
Something newf" asked Hilary.
"There's talk OF strike" said Lafe
in disgust. 'BrOuSSeau mas nnl ms
men at work among 'em, and they're
saying that you're keeping wages
down, and that Brousseau would give
two dollars day If you would"
He wants to get into my capital,
eh7"
ITS just one way of hitting US. /
tell you, Mr.. Askew. it's tough job
we've taken on. You know these men
amt got sense. Simeon Duval has
been handing out free drinks In that
shebeen Of his at Ste. Marie, and tell
ing them what hard master you are,
and they're just swallowing it,
well face that trouble when 1t de-
velops," answered Hilary.
But Hilary did some hard thinking
and II settled about Dupont. If Brors-
seau could buy out Dupont he was
Anished; he could never get lumber
schooner that year. and he must get
oct some shipments before navigation
sseosd. He decided tn appeal to Ea-

CHAPTER IV.-Continued.

How far could he count on them?
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 were 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 Lafe Connell-little
Baptiste.
The gang was hard at work below
the dam. strengthening the structure
