then he became aware of Madeleine

Hilary felt uncertain and awkward.
Ought he to raise his hat to her? A

she was perfectly aware who he was.

set, two angry blue eyes, and flushed

CHAPTER Ill.
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
Trenblay came out and made 1t clear
to Hilary that he was wanted.
II was Lafe Connell calling.
"Sny, Mr Askew," he said, "rm
phoning you from my boarding place.
They came back yesterday afternoon (;
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, ConneI" said Hilary. I'm
much obliged. I'm coming over"
He reached the office Just in time
10 see Morris emerge toward a buggy
which was drawn up before the door
Morris looked plainly disconnected to
see him.
He was an older man than Hilary
had expected TO meet. He seemed well
on the shady side OF fifty. He had
elusive gray eyes, a prominent but
lli-detHed nose, and heavy, thready
mustache. It was a type Hilary knew
intimately: The crooked business GO
between.
MIR. Morris, I think" he said, de-
scending and tieing the pony to the
hitching post in front Of the building.
Norris held out his hand. which Hill

We're here, Mr.. Askew," he said. "I
was Just coming over to see you"

ary- u came to see you and talk

Morris, recognizing the situation, ac-
cepted 1t 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 fume.
Morris took box of cigars from his
desk drawer and offered It to Hilary

less messages confirming previous re-
ports from Halifax. The transfer of
terday under good weather conditions
and without accident.
The safe transfer of the Powhatan's
passengers brings to a close sea
drama which opened last Sunday
when the first wireless message was
received from the transport that the
ship was leaking, the fireroom flooded,
a northeastern gale blowing, and i'm
mediate assistance needed A half
score of vessels put out from Canadian
and American ports or rushed to the
scene from mid-ocean. The first ship
to arrive was the White Star liner
Cedric, England to New York She
was quickly followed by the Western
Comet, Il United States shipping board
steamer.
The Cedric and the Western Comet
found the disabled transport rolling
heavily, without lights or heat, but
were helpless TO give aid in the face
of the gale. The transport Northern
Pacific, New York from France, with
the last of the American expeditionary
forces. reached its distressed sister
ship on Monday and replaced the
Cedric, which proceeded on its voyage.
For four days more the Powhatan lay
helpless in the unabating storm, while

Tow lines were passed, only to snap

passengers from their sea prison on
