Father Lucien had Just laid down
bis singlestick when q boy brought
him q letter In an unknown hand
writing. A letter was an important
event In the cures day. He put on his
spectacles, sat down, opened the en-
<elope, and began to read.
II was from the priest at st. Joseph.
and stated that Nanette Bonnat had
given him the full story Of the adven-
tures upon the island, together with
an account Of the activities Of Pierre
and Simeon Duvai.
Bad ~ Father Lucien had known
conditions at Ste. Marie to be- he had
never guessed at the revelations which
Nanette had made to his confrere.
His indignation spilled over. and he
paced his study In agitation for sew
erai minutes. At last, struck with an
Inspiration. he took up his singlestick,
put on his cap, fur coat and snow.
shoes, and started of toward Ste.
Marie.
1t was about an hour later when the
sew IoNfers In Simeon's saloon looked
up to see the cure standing In the
doorway. Since the lumbermen had
gone into camp for the winter the
glories Of the dance hall had faded
and disappeared, but Simeon still did

the cure and came waddling forward,
Dis pale blue eyes blinking with mock
humility.
"Come in. father" he said suavely.

The mild words and humble atti-
ture of the old priest were SO comical
that nobody could conceal his nmuse-
ment any longer. A roar Of laughter
shook the shack. Simeon yawned.
"Ill think about my soul when I'm
sick" he answered
"You may be very sick at any mo-
ment. Simeon. without expecting it."
"I'll take the chances of that" an
swered Simeon.
"Simeon. I am growing tired Of

PROPOSED c. & D. CANAL PLANS
Col. FIagler and Col. Jervey Confer
Op1mpOrtant Work to be Done

Col. Clement A. F. Flagler, U. S. A.
formerly U. S. District Engineer in |
Wilmington, conferred today with |
Col. ]. P. Jervey relative to the wld-
ening and deepening OF the Chesa-
peake and Delaware Canal. There Is
Immediately available an approprla-
ton of s5OO,OOO. This sum will be eX-
pended in part in altering the en-
trance to the canal at Delaawre City.
Bv the present entrance, which races
northward. sediment from the Della
ware Bav has been drawn into the
canal. thus blocking the entrance. Ii
is proposed to form new entrance
southward under which the flow Will
he outward. Colonel Flagler, IN dis
cussing the proposition yesterday aft
ernoon. frankly said that he sees
realization of dreams of many years
ago. Looking ahead twenty years,
he said. he saw a deep water canal
connecting the two bays.
oI am aware" he said, that there
are some serious problems in the con-
struction of a deeper and wider Ches-
apeake and Delaware Canal. we
| face. for instance, the question OF de-
fense. This means expensive 1orUs
at the entrance of the canal. hao
hoped that this canal would be 80 fee'
deep and 100 yards wide at the lncep'
ton of its construction. | am INFORM
ed. however, that navigation on tn'
canal would be stopped for an indehn
r ite period, if this policy were carre'
out We must, therefore, prepar'
ourselves for a gradual construction
that is, a canal first to be fifteen Zee
S deep. The next depth will be, IN M
opinion. twenty feet. Then we cal
, construct a canal twenty-five Zee
deep. If we pursue any other sysUe1
we should face the very undeslraDl
thing of closing the canal to navlga
r tion."
