She touched her horse with her

most finging Hilary to the ground.
Her face was flaming; yet, as she
rode, Hilary could hear her sobbins
again.
He was sure that B~rousseau was
the cause Of her distress. He re-
called Lafe's words to himself on the
night of their first meeting. Brous-

voices, which suddenly ceased. Then
there came the splutter Of a match,
and the flame of a lamp. Hilary saw
a girls figure In silhouette against the
shade.
1t was that of Marie Dupont. the
captains daughter. and Hilary remem-
ubered that there was some mystery
about her; he had seen her going her
solitary way about the village, ignored
by all and ignoring all.

-
How far could be count on them
40 the last penny, perhaps. and liter
ally. Their Jobs would hold them ia
him In spite of Brousseau. just SO long
as their wages were Forthcoming.
Probably nine-tenths Of them resent
cd his presence In their country. His
victory over Black Pierre had raised
him In their estimation; they might
hate him instead Of despislng him. but
that was ell. He could count on the
devotion and faithfulness Of perhaps
one man besides Lafe Connell--little
Baptiste.
The gang was hard at work below
the dam. strengthening the structure
Of the boom. Riviere Rocheuse. pour
ing down from the foothills of the
~Laurentians, speeds with great force
through the gorge above st. Boniface,
widens opposite the settlement. and,
gathering its waters there. shoots
straight as a dart over the broken
cliff into the gulf.
II. when the jam was broken. the
pressure Of the great Ass of logs
proved o strong for the boom. In.
stead Of passing into the flume they
would pour over the cataract into the
st. Lawrence, where their retrieval
would be impossible. Such an acci-
dent had happened on a small scale
once before. If 1t should happen now
the loss would end all Hilary's hopes.
He was glad Baptiste had seen this.
Hillary searched for the figure Of the
little timekeeper and general utility
man. but failed to find II.
He assembled the hill beside the rush
ing cataract. He was crossing the
WASTE land where the logs and tin
cans were strewn when he saw Jean
Marie. The little man was engaged In
earnest conversation with Black
Pierre behind a shed. Black Pierre
seemed to be protesting vigorously.
The presence Of the man beside Bap-
tiste came to Hilary with q shock.
Without changing his pace he adj
vanced toward them. In his mind re-
peating Lafe's advice over and over
He was still inwardly Quivering, yet
trying to- appear -unconcerned. when
che two perceived him. Pierre turned
toward him with a scowl on his
bruised face. His eyes were black
sned. and he looked the incarnation Of
alnlignancy.
He spoke to Baptistc quickly. and to
HIlary,s surprise p rs:s.s without nc
knowledging his presence, walked
slowly away with him. Baptiste's
sudden departure puzzled Hilary q
good deal at the time. and much more
aftcrward.

CHAPTER vi.
insIde the Dance HAN.

Il had been the general expectation
that Louis Duval would open his sa-
loon that evening. Hilary was aware
that Louis and two assistants were en-
gagged In carpentering behind the
closed door of the shanty. However.
evening came and the house remained
closed. Furthermore, there was a gen.
eral exodus toward Ste. Marie, and
when the news came that Louis him
self had gone II became clear that he
had postponed his Inauguration of tho
test OF Hilary's authority, for reasons
known best to himself, or perhaps to
Brousseau.
Hilary came to the decision to ride
over to Ste. Marie that night and see
what was transpiring there. LATE. &c
whom he confided his scheme. thought
1t risky. but, when he could not induce
Hilary to change 1t. asked permission
to accompany him aEi made him
promise to avoid trouble.
1t was about an hour after dark
when they turned up nom the beach
into the main street which held the
chief dance halls. Simeon Duval's
place was working full blast, as
were half a dozen more. and Hillary
recognized numbers Of tbs oun men
en- route. Nobody appeared to notice
them, however, and they reached
Simeon's place unaccostel, and, stand
Ing upon the porch beside the door
looked In.
1t was q large woofien building
within which a score cf lumbermen
were dancing, mostly with one an
other; but a few had women partners.
There was no pretense or secrecy In
respect Of the sale Of liquor. Simeon
Duval, whom LATE indicatrd to Hilary
was a stoutish, middle-aged man tn
shirtsleeves. with pale blue eyes and
a thin crop OF reddish hair, turning
gray. He wore spectacles, which gave
him a strange, scholastic expression

sleeves were a Of fat and muscle

ing.
AS the two stood there Hilary was
astonished to see little Baptiste push
past them and enter. His face was
agitated. and he seemed TO see moth.
ing but his objective. He strobe
through the dancers towsrd one side
of the room. where two girls were
seated. Hilary had obses red one Of
them decline several invitations to
dance and drink, though apparently
urged by the other; now he recognized
them as Nanette and Nitric Dupont.
Baptiste strobe straight up to Ma
RE and stood before hsr. Hilary could
hear nothing. but he saw the little
timekeeper ge~sticula.ius, and appar-
emily imploring her. He saw Marie
shrug her shoulders and avert her
face. Nanette was laps hlng, and two
or three OF the iumoermen nearby
watched the little scene with amuse-
ment. Baptiste grew more vehement
Marie turned IN him argrily.

Madeleine kosny and Brousseau ahead
of him, at the top Of the rise. They
seemed to be talking earnestly. and
Hilary held back, unwilling to surprise
theLa. Presently he saw Brousseau
spur his horse and gallop away In the
direction Of Ste. Marie, while Made
leine came slowly toward him.
| She saw him and turned her horse
aside to let him pass. She had been
crying, and there were traces of tears

averted, but Hilary placed his hand
