FORT GAINES, Ca, Dec. 1.-THE
city election here Tuesday passed off
quietly with the reelection of Judge
B. M. Turnipseed for, mayor for the
next two years. He defeated J. L.

Probably nine-tenths Of them resent

that was all. He could count on the

stead of passing into the flume they
would pour over the cataract into the
st. Lawrence, where their retrieval
would be impossible. Such an acci-
dent had happened on small scale
once before. If 1t should happen now
the loss would end all Hilary's hopes.
He was glad Baptiste had seen this.
Hilary searched for the figure of the
little timekeeper and general utility
man, but failed to find 1t.
He ascended the hill beside the rush.
Ing cataract He was crossing the
waste land where the logs and tin
cans were strewn when he saw Jean
Marie. The little man was engaged In
earnest conversation with Black
Pierre behind shed. Black Pierre
seemed to be protesting vigorously.
., The presence of the man beside Bap.
tiste came to Hilary with shock.
Without changing his pace he ad-
vanced toward them, in his mind re-
peating Lafe's advice over and over.
He was still inwardly quivering. yet
trying to appear unconcerned. when
the two perceived him. Pierre turned

Of the village, beyond the wharf, until
they reached Dupont's cottage.

and the flame of lamp. Hilary saw
a girls figure in silhouette against the
shade.
1t was that of Marie Dupont, the
captains daughter. and Hilary remem-
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 1t
too. and darted forward and caught 1t
by the arm. and drew 1t toward the
beach.
It was a girl of about four and

seemed to be talking earnestly. and
Hilary held back. unwilling to surprise
them. Presently he saw Brousseau
spur his horse and gallop away In the
direction of Ste. Marie. while Made

She saw him and turned her horse
aside to let him pass. She had been
crying. and there were traces Of tear1

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 purely
personal one. He was glad that Le-
blanc's cancellation of the contract had
left the Chateau grounds immune, and
20 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
az 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 a new development occurred.
Lafe. who had been grumbling 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 has had his
men at work among 'em, and they're
saying that you're keeping wages
down, and that Brousseau would give
two dollars q day II you would"

She touched her horse with hee
spur. and the beast bounded away, a.
most flinging Hilary to the ground.
Her face was flaming; yet. ~ she
rode, Hilary could hear her sobbing
again.
He was sure that Brousseau WAS
the cause Of her distress. He re-
called >Lafe's words to himself ON the
night Of their first meeting. Brous.
seau's grasping hand was stretched
forth not only on the seigniory but on
its heiress-and he vowed that the
battle between them should be fought
out on this ground also.

Il had been the general expectation
that Louis Duval would open his sa-
loon that evening. Hilary was aware
that Louis and two assistants were en-
gagged In carpentering behind the
closed door Of the shanty. However.
evening came and the house remained
closed. Furthermore, there was gen
eral exodus toward Ste. Marie. and
when the news came that Louis him.

had postponed his Inauguration Of the
test Of Hilary's authority. for reasons
known best to himself. or perhaps to
Brousseau.
Hilary came to the decision to ride
over to Ste. Marie that night and see
what was transpiring there. Lafe, to
whom he confided his scheme. thought
It risky, but, when he could not induce
Hilary to change It. asked permission
to accompany : him and made him
promise to avoid trouble.
It was about an hour after dark
when they turned up from the beach
into the main street which held the
chief dance halls. Simeon Duval's
place was working full blast, 40
were half dozen more, and Hilary
recognized numbers Of his own men
en- route. Nobody appeared to notice
them, however, and they reached
Simeon's place unaccosted, and, stand.
ing upon the porch beside the door.
looked in.
It was a large wooden building.
within which a score Of lumbermen
were dancing, mostly with one an
other; but a few had women partners.
There was no pretense Of secrecy In
respect OF the sale of liquor. Simeon
Duval. whom Lafe indicated to Hilary.
was stoutish. middle-aged man In
shirtsleeves. with pale blue eyes and
thin crop OF reddish hair, turning
gray. He wore spectacles which gave
him strange. scholastic expression.
and the arms beneath his upturned
sleeves were a mass Of fat and muscle.
The interior was vilely hot. gusts Of
fetid air came rolling out with the to-
bacco smoke, and the din was deafen-
ing.
AZ the two stood there Hilary was
astonished to see little Baptiste push
past them and enter. His face was
agitated, and he seemed to see moth
ing but his objective. He strobe
through the dancers toward one side
Of the room, where two girls were
seated. 9ilary had observed one Of
them decline several Invitations to
dance and drink. though apparently
urged by the other; now he recognized
them as Nanette and Marie Dupont.
Baptiste strobe straight up to Ma.
rie 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 nearby
watched the little scene with amuse-
ment. Baptiste grew more vehement.
Marie turned on him angrily.

Lafe subsidized in hurt sort Of way.
The evidences of decentralization were

clear that they had little hope Hilary
