Madeleine raised her eyes and Lafe 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 all that she held dearest, for the sake of the swindler across the room. Lafe admired her courage, but this he had expected.
 My business is with MT. Rosny," he said.
 Don't let that trouble you. I 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 a swindling rogue. That's what I've come to prove"
 Brouseau started forward, his face pale with rage. As he placed himself in fighting attitude Lafe 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 hesi- tated, and his moment passed.
 The Seigneur's face grew dark with anger. "No man can say such things of a guest of mine," he cried, and gripped the arms of his chair as if try ing to rise. Madeleine bent over him and restrained him. Her face was flushed with resentment.
 'I told you my business was with you, MT. Rosny," said Lafe, unper- turbed. 'I ain't speaking to him. God knows I don't want to speak to him. He says he's speaking for you, so let him speak to this. He's swindled the St. Boniface lumber company out of eighty thousand dollars, so far as we've learned yet, and maybe more. But guess he's heard enough. I got the proofs, but maybe it's painful lis- tening"
 Leave the Chateau immediately, Monsieur!' thundered the Seigneur.
 "Not till I've finished speaking" an- swered Lafe. Unless he asks me to go, and then I'll think about it. He's speaking for you. You ain't in on this deal, MT. RoSny. And now I've ante'd." he ended defiantly.
 Madeleine came forward quietly. "You can go, MT. Connell,p she said in a voice vibrant with restrained anger. we do not. permit Monsieur Brous- seau to be insulted, here or anywhere. Your conduct is fntolerab1e. Leave in- stantly, and if you have anything to say to him in accusation say it when he has not woman and a sick man present to restrain his resentment"
 Lafe flushed. And you ain't in it neither, Mamzelle," he answered. "What got to say say to MT. Rosny. I come here to say it and I'll go when said it."
 "Oh, let him speak," snarled Brous- seau. Monsieur Askew is afraid to come here with his lies, so he has sent his man."
 Madeleine's eyes flashed. '"This is no place for personalities, Edouard,"
The Connecticut labor press., 1920-03-20

cried the girl. Perhaps you will ac- company Mr. Cornell to the door and let him say what he wishes to say out side"
 q say it here! :" cried Lafe in furi- ous voice that surprised himself He's cheated us out of eighty thou sand dollars, and he's cheated you, MT. Rosny, out of about as much, and prob ably more, and you can put it in any words you like. And I've got the pa pers to prove it-all of 'em."
 Brousseau winced 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, Lafe 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, mouthing impotently, had kept trying to rise; but now he sat open mouthed in his chair, and thereafter they listened.
 '1'll tell you why he wants the seigniory," continued Lafe. q guess it's part plain greed, but there's an- other reason, and that explains why he wants to get MT. Askew off. There's an asbestos mine on the island-Look at him! Look at him l''
 Brousseau was glaring at him, the picture of impotent rage. Lafe, hav- ing indicated him with his hand re- sumed:
 ''He kept 1t off the map in our office, pretending the island isn't on our Him. its, and he spread that story. but you know better, MT. Rosny. The island has the best asbestos mine this side of Thetford, and I've seen the mines at Thetford. And it's worth a good quar- ter million dollars, I reckon Maybe more Maybe a million-I ain't no judge. And he's kept it secret from you"

CHAPTER xV.
Lafe Takes a Hand.

Lafe was surprised to feel the bitter tang of the air when he left the mill office. It was going to be winter now, he reflected, and, if Hilary could be held only three days, there could be no question of an immediate journey to Quebec.
 Reaching the waste of open ground before the Chateau, he saw that a sleigh had been there that day; pos sibly it was in the stables now. He rang the bell, nodded to Robitaille, who opened the door, disregarded his incomprehensible address, which seemed to negative Lafe's wish to en- ter, and went by instinct into the lfv- 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 big leather chair before the huge, glowing fire, Madeleine standing be- side him and Edouard Brousseau a short distance away. There was an atmosphere of immediate constrafnt, as if Lafe's appearance had interrupt ed a tense interview. Lafe 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 it's fullness. He scowled.
 "It's the man from the mill." he said in q Sneering cone {" Monsieur ROSny.
