CHAPTER IIl.
Hilary Talks Business.

Hilary was smoking on the porch the next morning, formulating his plans, when he heard the bell on the side of the telephone box begin to ring dangerously. Then Monsieur Tremblay came out and made it clear to Hilary that he was wanted.
 It was Lafe Connell calling.
 "Say Mir. Askew," he said, "Pm phoning you from my boarding place. They came back yesterday afternoon 1; the boat was late; maybe you didn't know. They've been cross-questioning me and Baptiste all the morning. Brousseau's just left, and Morris has ordered the storekeeper's rig to drive over to you in an hours time."
 Thanks, Connell," said Hilary. "Tm much obliged. I'm coming over."
 He reached the office just in time to see Morris emerge toward buggy which was drawn up before the door. Morris looked plainly disconcerted to see him.
 He was an older man than HilaIy had expected to meet. He seemed well on the shady side of fifty. He had elusive gray eyes, a prominent but Al-defRed nose, and heavy, thready mustache. It was a type Hilary knew intimately: The crooked business go- between.
 'Ir. Morris, I think" he said, de scending and tieing the pony to the hftching post in front of the building.
 Morris held out his hand, which Hil- ary took, with no great cordiality. T came back last night and heard you were here, Mir. Askew," he said. T was just coming over to see you"
 T heard you were here," said Hil- ary. q came to see you and talk things over"
 Morris, recognizing the situation, ac- cepted it and turning back, pulled the key out of his pocket and opened the office door. Hilary sat down at the desk nearest the window, from which he could see the endless line of logs ascending the cogged chain that drew them into the mill Hume.
 Morris took box of cigars from his desk drawer and offered it to Hilary, who declined. Morris chose one and, biting off the end, lit it. Hilary could see that his hand trembled a little.
 "Well, sir" he said, seating himself, "this is the last place in the world where I should have expected to see you. I have just heard from MT. Lamartine that you intended to pay a visit to Quebec, but that letter was written some days ago. You didn't see him?"
 Two days before Hilary would have jumped at the bait, would have shown his resentment of the lie. declared hos tility, and given Morris his cue. Now he only smiled pleasantly.
 Yes, saw him." he answered. "He tried to dissuade me from coming up here, but I wanted to see the proper ty."

consuming fire. His look, as he turned it on Hillary, was so searching, and so inscrutable, and so momentarily hos tile, that Hilary felt uncomfortable. There was history behind that pene- trating stare--a history and hate.
 But after moments examination of Hilary's face a film seemed to come over the old mans eyes. Whatever the reason for his strange gaze, Du- pont was satisfied. He stood by Lafe, and Jean-Baptiste translated.
 'sThe captain says the schooner's full" he said. ''He want to start for Quebec on tonight's tide"
 ''Tell him to speak to Mir. Askew here." answered Lafe. "Say that Mir. Ashew's i'll charge"
 The timekeeper translated back into the French. A smile fiickered upon Dupont's face. He shook his head anG answered.

getting busy and putting out the fire?'
 ''Nr. Lafe, there is many thing you do rot understand" said the cure, pat. ting the Yankee on the shoulder be- nevolently. 'Mr. Lafe is fine fellow he added to Hilary, but he want to go too quick all the time"
 It was evident to Hilary that the two were fast friends. Father Lucien clucked to his pony, took off his hat with a flourish, and resumed his jour- ney.
 'Father Lucy's a good sort" nut 1 tered Lafe, 'but he makes me tired sometimes. Slow as the devil, MT. Askew. And yet, now come to think of it, he does get results in his own time. He ain't equal to cleaning up Ste. Marie. though"
 After pause he added: Some times I've thought that Father Lucy had something up his sleeve about Ste. Marie after alI."
 An hours drive brought them within sight of the village Ste Marie was almost a replica of St. Bonffaee ex- formally, with the same shaclsy cIus- tered about the brick offices of the company.
 Mot much to see now,t said Lafe. 'But on pay night it's fierce, Mr. As kew. I guess this place is real he'll ?
 'Rowdy, Cornell, you mean?"
 q didn't mean taat, Mir. Askew. It's that, God knows; but what meant by hell was a place where eyerybody's law to himself with nothing to re- strain him. A place where. everybody does what he wants to do. That's nay idea of hell, sir"
 The road wound along. the shore. Presently St. Boniface came into sight. T think I'll go into the office, Connell," said Hilary.
 q guess you'll have to break it open, then" said Lafe. s'Mr. Morris took the keys with him."
 "When's he coming backg'
 "We were expecting him on the boat this afternoon"
 Hilary considered for moment. "Il1 wait till tomorrow then," he said. "Hello, Monsieur Baptiste!"
 The little scaler and timekeeper was hurrying toward the buggy. ''Mon- sieurI" he gasped. Monsieur Aslew, yesterday I did not know who you were. Excuse '"
 That's all right, Baptiste." an- swered Hilary. 'Just remember that I'm running things here now, that's all. And, by the way, that order about trespassers and visitors is at an end. There's going to be nothing done here that we'll be afraid of people finding out Got it?"
 Jean-Marie Baptiste evidently had got it, for he looked almost terrified He touched his hat and withdrew with sort of shuffiing bow.
 ''You certainly do have the knack of putting things across, Mir. Askew," said Lafe admiringly. q guess you're ready to go back to the hotel. Wait. There's old Dupont, the captain of the lumber schooner. guess you'll want to meet him?"
 q suppose so," said Hilary.
 Dupont came toward the rig, ac- companied by the timekeeper. The captain was a tall old man of about sixty years, with a gray beard, a weather-beaten face, and pale gray eyes that seemed to burn with some

 He opened the door, but, Hilars called to him. "One moment, Mir. Mor ris," he said.
 Morris turned and looked at him un' certainly. He was ready to accept any extension of the olive branch.
 "Take your cigars" said Hilary opening the drawer and bringing out the box.
 Mir. Morris turned purple, snortedl then snatched up the box and madS his exit.
 Apparently he wished tooconvey ths impression of a furious quarrel witS a less humiliating ending, for Hilar' heard him shouting angrily outsids Through the window he saw Jean Baptiste come running up to him There came, later, the confused sounl of many voices in consultation. Bu. Hilary turned his attention to the books.
 The deficit for the half-year had been eight thousand dollars. Thas, much Lamartine's papers had showa and Hilary could find no fault with ths| statement. It was, of course, impos sible to arrive at any discovery with out experience of the practical work ing of the concession, and Hilar quickly realized that little was to b obtained by prolonged scrutinyj There was, however, a considerabl expenditure for provisions at the stf Marie company's store, which he asj sumed to be the store on the propertI in view of an item on the credit sidi for the lease of a building. There, q any rate. Morris dishonesty was man fest. Hilary closed the books. hI would discharge no man for insolene9 but he felt that Morris was entitled no more than his salary until Octobes
 Having closed the desk, he looHe about the office. A door led into extension of the two-story building He found that the key to the oufe door fitted this, and, opening it, tered very comfortable little liFia room, with small kitchen at back. X stairway at the back of P house, built on the outside, evident r led into the bedrooms. He decided take over Morris quarters for his pc sonal use.
 He had just returned into the oils and put on his hat preparatory leaving when there came a tap at ta door. The frightened face of Jea' Marie Baptiste looked in.
