had sought vainly in his desk. before

hate he bore Hilary was added the lust

matter of Ste. Marie bothered him.
Father Lucien had been jeered out OF

spent all his life.
He had sent to Quebec for book Oh

In all that he did. His muscles began

stunning blow upon the back of the
head. He staggered. slipped, and fell
down the ladder into the little open
space before the cabin.
Half dazed, he was barely conscious
of seeing the grinning faces of Pierre
and Leblanc stare into his. His over
coat was torn from his back, his peck
cts emptied. He waited for the knife
thrust, but only kicks followed He
was lifted and thrown into the cabin.
The outlaws ran back to assist Du-
pont in getting up the sails. 1t was
not Brousseau's plan to dispatch him
within hearing Of the shore.
He heard the sails being hoisted.
and felt the schooner moving from the
wharf. Then he heard low cry and
saw Madeleine upon her knees before
him.
She bent her face to his. whispering
that she loved him. pleading for for
giveness, and beseeching him to rise.
And Hilary opened his eyes to dis
cover that the vision was reality.
He staggered to his feet and stood
swaying In the middle of the cabin.
while she kept her arms about him.
He began to remember. He knew
where he was now. Madeleine thrust
the revolver into his hand.
"They have planned to murder you y
she cried. II learned Of 1t and
brought this. You must not die. Hill

He broke the revolver 1t was

with rust that to have fred it would
have been more dangerous to the
shooter than to his object Of aim. He
saw the horror on the girls face as
she made the discovery.
81 did not think about the car
tridges," she cried. 81 heard you were
in danger and seized it and came to
you. What shall we do? I am going
to The with you"
1--WE are not going to die" he an
swered. But he felt a trickle of blood
in his eyes. He pulled himself to-
gether to face the situation, thinking
with all the concentration Of which
his mind was capable.
He heard the sails being run up. and
the creak of the cordage In the wind
Then the schooner. grinding her
course through the drift Ice, began to
roll and pitch as the force Of the gulf
current struck her. And through the
portfolios Hilary saw the lights OF st.
Boniface reel into the enwrapping fog
and vanish.
With Medicines arm about him he
thought with desperate concentration
Doubtless the ruffians had gone to as
sist Dupont In taking the schooner out
into midstream. confident that their
victim was at their mercy. Once the
vessel had passed the dangerous ice
and deadly sunken rocks Dupont
alone could keep her on her course.
And Dupont had planned his death.
He remembered the hate on the old
mans face: but he could not imagine
the cause Of It, for he did not connect
It with the story about Marie.
They would return, they would dis
cover that the revolver was useless |;
his life was worth about ten minute4

JAPAN WISHED
CABLE CONTROL
Pacific Line Proposal May
Come Up Again.

WASHINGTON. Oct. efforts by ia
pan TO control a cable acros the Pacific
ocean between the United States and ia
pan came to light here today.
A proposal was made some time ago
with the approval Of the Mikado govern
ment that the United States and Japan
cooperate In building a cable across the
Pacific.
The plan was rejected because Of the
insistence of Japan that the cable be
controlled by Japanese company.
This proposal was regarded significant
here because Of the possibility of the
Japanese delegation bringing up the plan
again at the preliminary meeting here
Friday of the five great powers in con-
nection with the international commune
cations conference.
Should the proposal again be preached
IL is believed japan will modify the plan
with view of meeting the objection OF
the United States.
