SON ON Y

He Just Got With the Wrong
Crowd and When Money Was
Squandered They Turned
Him Out" Says MacCallum.

I, BY REV. j. NJ. CORNELISON
At the revival meeting last night
DIR. MacCaIlum gave a very unique
Interpretation and fitting application
of Jesus parable, sometimes caiied the
parable of the prodigal son. DR.. Mac
Callum brought out the point that the
father with his great love was the out
standing figure and point in the para
BILE. Said the vangelist-''That lad
wasn't such a bad fellow after all.
He just got with the wrong crowd" 3"
He was from one of the best families,
and his father was well to do and a
leading man in the communNy. This
lad wanted to get out and away from
his great fathers shadow and in
fluence and to make a mark and
career for himself, lest people might
say-'That is jast what we expected
of such a boy, he is following his
dad"
Like Normal Ambition
The speaker then pointed out that
such an ambition to get out and on in
this world was not bad, but largely in
the heart of any normal boy. TO
learn what we desire to do and
which constitutes the much talked
of study of the psychology of youth"
said the speaker. In picturing the lad
leaving home; and particularly him
self when he dug out from home, DR..
MacCallum said. Its easy to say
good bye to dad, and brother and sis
ter. but not 50 to say the last word
to mother and receive her kiss and
benediction'-Said the speaker, THAT
kiss of my mother. long since gone to
heaven, remains on my brow"
Gang Is Typical
Continuing his exposition and ap-
plication the speaker said-"Though
this lads ideals and carly training
were good he got in with the wrong
crowd. His money was squandered,
then the gang had no use for him.
Thev kicked him out and spat on him
Such a thing happens so often today
and is 80 true to human nature that
this parable may have been spoken to-
day in your own city. That gang of
the world is against Christ and the
church. Follow it till your all is gone
and they will kick you out and damn
you.
But" cried the speaker. This
lad came back, he woke up, he came

of manhood. He realized that he had

CHAPTER XVII.
Father Lucien Arrives.


Father Lucien had grown very fond
OF Hilary. He did not know what to
do. Hilary was In the woods now, and
almost inaccessible. The cure had not
even LATE to wrangle with. His days
passed in detection. Moreover, the
matter Of ste. Marie bothered him.
Father Lucien had been jeered out of
the village, and he knew that If the
bishop heard of 1t he would be trans
ferred to another parish. Father Luz
Glen loved st. Boniface, where he had
spent all his life.
He had sent to Quebec for book on
single-stick exercises, which he had
seen advertised In an old magazine.
He had become interested, and had
fashioned fine singlestick from a
plant hazel bough. Father Lucien
followed the instructions given In the
book with patient care, and with the
best results. He was very thorough
in all that he did. His muscles began
to grow, his physical health became
excellent. Soon he became quite ex-
pert. 1t was a sight to see the cure
practicing iunges in the seclusl0n of
his study. among the theological vol
umes but nobody had seen him except
his old housekeeper. and It took sew
eral minutes to convince the old lady
that her revered charge had nat gone
suddenly insane.

At last they emerged from the for
est and crossed the bridge. The hum
Of the mfh had ceased. and had been
succeeded by another sound, well
known to dweIlers along the ST. Law
renee shores when winter arrives: The
stirring of the Ice foes as the impend-
ing storm drives them together to their
long winter anchorage.
The sleigh went madly along the
wharf, which groaned and creaked as
the ice battered 1t on either side. Made
leine sprang from the sleigh and ran
on board the schooner, which was al
ready moving.
AS Marie descended to follow her
she saw that It was too late. There
was an Increasing space between the
wharf and the deck. She hesitated,
and then it was impossible to follow.
For a moment she thought she saw
Madeleine threading the narrow pas
sage between the piles of lumber;
then the darkness closed about her.
The pulleys creaked. The mainsall
and foresail swung upward and beIlied
In the wind. The two gafftopsails
cleaned like white birds against the
night.
Then only the sails remained. They
turned and shifted, disappearing and

an exclamation and followed Pierre
back into the darkness Of the lumber
piles.
Silence followed. That wait was
tense and nerve-gripping Hilary tried
to get Madeleine to return into the
cabin. but she kept her place at his
side. Then, to HiIary's utter surprise
he heard Brousseau's voice and dis
cerned him moving out of the dark
ness of the lumber.
Monsieur Askew. want to speak to

Hilary returned no answer. but
Brousseau, apparently confident of
Hilary's honor, pushed forward and
came up to the barricade.

foolish thingl" he said quietly to Mad
eleine. mo harm was meant to Mon

But as neither answered him he
dropped his pose of blandness and adj
dressed Hilary.

cried. That's only a drop In the

Morris forged them, but you kept
them, and that's why trapped you

killing you, because of his daughter"
Madeleine laughed CONTEMPORARY
at the lie, and Brousseau snorted like
dashed horse.
Il want those papers," he went on
doggedly. "They amt in your clothes,
and they amt in your bag. Give them
to me and wen cry quits, and I'll put

Anne. can trust you and you can
trust me. Are you going to agree?"
Nor shouted Hilary.
He had had the sense that Brous-
seau meditated some treachery, but he
was not prepared for what followed.
Madeleine cried to him and pulled
him back, just as Pierre and Leblanc
leaped down from the forecastle roof,
to which they had climbed during
Brousseau's fictitious parleying. Each
had his knife ready, and they were
upon Hilary together.
There was no room for maneuvering.
and Hilary never knew afterward how
lie escaped. But he thrust his club
into Leblanc's face, and, then, as the
man stumbled back, brought 1t down
with full force upon Pierres skull.
All the strength of his arms went
into the blow. Pierre never spoke

again. He went Keeling across the
deck like an inanimate thing, struck
the bulwark, and, as the schooner
lurched, toppled into the sea. He was
probably dead before he disappeared
beneath the waves.
Leblanc rushed frantically toward
the barricade. Hilary was upon him
when he saw Br0usseau whip ont a re-
volver and take deliberate aim at him.
He felt the bullet clip his cheek. Twice
more Brousseau fired. At the second
shot Hilary stumbled and fell fiat IN
the cabin entrance. At the third. Lee

round twice and collapsed in front of
the barrier.
Madeleine dragged Hilary within the
cabin. Blood was gushing from a
wound 10 his breast. Frantically she
began to tear away the upper part of
his clothing and to endeavor to stanch
the wound. Suddenly she perceived the
little rusted revolver upon the floor.
She snatched It up and ran TO see
Broussean in the act of crossing the
barricade. She pushed it into his
face.
Brousseau cursed and dropped on the
Tar side; Madeleine heard him running
into the darkness. She had brought a
temporary respite. She ran back to
aiIary. But It was almost dark in the
cabin. and there was hardly anything

appearing again elusively, until they
blended with the fog and the darkness
and vanished finally.
The horse, left uncontrolled, swung
round and galloped homeward, trail
ing the empty sleigh behind him. Marie
stood shuddering at the end of the
wharf. For a while she stared out in
terror toward the invisible schooner,
lost in the distance. She could see
nothing, but she could still hear the
roar of the wind in the rigging and the
Tapping of the great sails.
Presently, with a low cry, she turned
and began running homeward She
staggered into the cottage and sank
down before the stove, crouching
there.
When Hilary reached the wharf it
was already dark. He had been rec
ognized by no one on the way. He
went straight aboard the schooner,
and found Dupont on deck.
"When do you start?'' he asked.
Immediately. monsieur" replied
the captain quietly.

forecastle. AS he did so he felt a
stunning blow upon the back of the
head. He staggered. slipped. and fell

Brousseau was staggered. If Hilary
was going to Quebec Immediately, 1t
must be to lay those papers. which he
had sought vainly In his desk. before
the police. He saw the prison walls
closing about him. And to the great
hate he bore Hillary was added the lust
for liberty.
He must have the papers. Lafe
Connell knew besides. but LATE could
be laughed at, once the papers were
his own. His plan began to take shape.
If Hilary were out of the way and the
documents destroyed he could yet win
Madeleine, achieve his dream of be-
coming Seigneur, his life ambition.

Scan you keep that devil of yours

and nodded. Brousseau, watching him,
knew that the madness which held him
would carry him to the end. "Who

That frightened her. Another thing
that alarmed her was his way Of en-
tering. Usually ne would stamp into
the house, as IL on board but now he
came In furtively. and she could hard
" hear his stealthy movements below.
She wondered what was portending.
OF late he had watched her more keen
ly than ever, and had been more silent.
She slept by starts, and awakened
at dawn to hear a stealthy step out
side her door. IN the dim light she
saw her father bending over her bed.
She sat up, stretching out her arms as
il to ward of something. In her con-
fused condition between sleep and
waking she had fancied for a moment
that he held something In his hand

But she saw that he held nothing.
