"But When God Calls Man to Duty,
He Must Obey"


Father Lucien, who followed him. Let
him diet" he shouted. you know,
mon pere. you know what he has done
to me and miner
LATE, who understood hardly word
of this colloquy. caught precise sense
of what Baptiste was saying. partly of
the gestures, but more by his faculty
brought out through dialogues on
many evenings with his friend Trem-
blay. He tugged at the cures arm.
TELL him that story amt true, ia
ther," he said. That's what's worry
ing him."
But Father Lucien resumed, as il he
had not heard:
even so, Jean. MademOiselle Ros-
ny's life, perhaps, is in danger. And
even if that were not so, thou must
return good for evil. Else his blood is
upon thee"
LET it be there! would have killed
him, only they pulled me away"
at is thy duty. my son" said the
cure quietly. ut is hard test, Jean,
but when God calls man to duty, he
must obey.
Baptiste began to break down. "Ah.
mon pere, you ask me the hardest
thing in my life," he groaned. I'm

me. l have dreamed that l had him

I have struggled, and have cOntrived
to fight down my desire to Stay him.
And now you tell me I must save him.
No no, mon pere. Save the girl--yes
But let some one else sail the schoOn-
err"
"Say, Father Lucy. why don't you
explain to him that that yarns lie?"
persisted LATE.
But again the cure ignored him.

Jean" he said. $50 back to the store
and instruct the storekeeper to tele-
phone to the crew-Orouin is one and

return to me-"
Jean-Baptiste stood like statue. He
hung his head, muttering. Then. SLOW
ly, he raised 1t and smiled into the
cures face.
Enough, then. I CO." he said
gravely.
"Well, I'm darned!" exclaimed LATE.
"Say, father, why didn't you tell him
it wasn't true, that story?"
The cure smiled whimsically and
laid his hand on Lafe's shoulder.
"Ah. Mr.. Lafe," he answered, when
exercise will cure paralyzed limb. we
do not use the crutch."
LATE stared at him. And slowly he
began to understand. Father Lucieo's

cried. striking the priest between the
shoulders. And, say! l take 1t all
back-everything! Go on and bless
the cabbages. Go on praying out fires.
Go on. go on! You've got the knack
somehow-only Im-Im jinged If l
see how you do it till it's all cver!'
Baptiste, who had been telephoning
inside the store, came out. "Drouln
and Lachance will be at the wharf N
fifteen minutes. Monsieur Tester" he
said.
The cure nodded and took Baptiste
by the arm. The three began to stroll
toward the wharf. When they arrived
at the wharf head, however, instead
of proceeding toward the schooner the
cure led the way. still holding Bap-
tiste. toward Dupont's cottage. Bap-
tiste stopped near the door.
where are you taking me, Father
Lucien?" he asked. Il do not go
there"
And, as the cure seemed bent on
proceeding inside, he wrested himself
away.

now thou askest what is beyond thy
right or power. do not enter there"
MY son." answered the priest.
"since thou hast chosen rightly to-
night | tell thee now that that story
was not true. It was Pierre and Le-
blanc who took Marie Dupont to the
island. and Monsieur Askew and Mon
sieur Conneli here found her and
saved her from them, and brought her
home In my pocket l have a letter.
Tomorrow thou shalt read 1t and un-
derstand."
Mon pere" stammered Baptiste.
and began to trembe.
Learn it from her lips"
Mon pere, l do not go inside that
house. If it is true, l am not worthy.
Besides, she hates me, and -"
Still holding his arm the cure opened
the door. Marie Dupont" he called.
The girl stumbled toward the door,
saw Baptiste at the cures side. and
uttered frightened cry.
Father Lucien took Jean Baptiste by
the arm and led him into the house.
He closed the door gently, but not
before LATE had seen Marie in Jeans
arms. LATE swore softly.
"What's the matter. Mr.. LATER
asked Father Lucien.
Nothing" answered LATE shortly.
II was just thinking of Shoeburyport,
Mass, that's all. You wouldn't under
stand. At least"
He looked at the cure, and then 1t
occurred to him that he was viewing
him from an entirely different angle.
For the first time in their acquaintance
it occurred to him that Father Lucien
was really a man underneath his long
sOutane.
When, few minutes late, the priest
opened the door, Marie and Jean came
forward with linked arms, and their
expressions were transformed. Jean
grasped LATE by the hand and looked
at him earnestly. but did not say a
word.
Come now" said the cure. 1.-THE
men are waiting on the wharf for US.
Bon soir, Marie"
Il 60 with JEAN" said the girl.

The Rescue.


Out of the darkness little light be-
gan to glow. 1t shone and sparkled,
and suddenly raced skyward. disclos-
ing the outlines of the schooner
stranded upon the edge of the ice field.
Baptiste drove his vessel straight
toward it, running upon the gale The
little group upon the deck watched in
terror as the flames spread. until II
could be seen that they enwrapped the
entire fore part of Dupont's schooner.
Dupont, in his madness, evading
Brousseau, had set fire to the lumber
with the aid Of the petroleum kegs
which he carried in the hold. And
Brousseau, at the wheel was striving
desperately to run the burning vessel
back into open water and cast her
upon the ice-free shore of the south
passage, beyond the point. In his
fear he had forgotten Madeleine and
Hilary.

time voices hailed them. They had
been seen.
Brousseau, upon the poop. yelled in
answer. And he began to run to and
fro in his excitement. possessed only
by the fear of death by fire.
The flames spread. The cabin was
now involved, and a great column Of
smoke was shooting skyward, carrying
with fiery spark cloud.
Dupon came out of the smoke. his
face alight with fanatic madness. He
caught him by the arm.
"See the fine FIRE! !" he shouted. "He
won't get out Of that in a hurry. I
told her that l would give her his life

name. The name! What is it, The

Only one man could sail the schoon-
er through the ice. All the rest were
in the woods. Jean-Marie Baptiste I'M
derstood the coast and the currents.
"Where is hep"
The storekeeper shrugged his shout
ders. "He was here half an hour ago
to buy more traps, but he has gone
into the woods again"
At that instant Baptiste entered the
store. saw LATE, and scOwled.
'This trap is broken" he began,
holding it up for the storekeeper to
view it.
The cure bounced on him. "Baptiste,
come with me. Thou dost not go into
the woods tonight. Thou must take

Baptiste's jaw fell. Mon pere. it is

"What?" shouted Baptiste. "I go.

of Mademoiselle Rosny are perhaps at

CHAPTER xVll-continued

H.
Father Lucien had just laid down
his singlestick when boy brought
him a 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-.
velope, and began to read.
1t was from the priest at st. Joseph
and stated that Nanette Bonnat had
given him the full story of the adven-
lures upon the island, together with
an account of the activities of Pierre
and Simeon Duval.
Bad as 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
eral minutes. At last, struck with an
inspiration. he took up his singlestick,
put on his cap, fur coat, and snow
shoes, and started off toward Ste.
Marie.
1t was about an hour later when the
few loafers In Simeon's saloon looked
Nd 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
a thriving liquor business. He saw
the cure and came waddling forward.
his pale blue eyes blinking with mock
humility.
"Come in, father" he said suavely.
I'VE don't often see you here. What
will you have7 A drop Of gin? A lit
tie brandy. now Or maybe you're
looking for some of the girls to dance
with?"
The men grinned and nudged each
other. 1t is not often that one sees q

you're a sport, father" said Sim
con. what sort Of stick do you call
that, with a knob each end?"
II shall come to that later" an
swered the cure. "Simeon, Simeon. how
often have I spoken to you about the
evil that you are doing here! 1t is a
statutory offense to sell liquor with
out q license, but it is an 0ffense
against God to run this sort Of place.
Simeon. for the good of your soul. will
you not close down this place and
lead a different life"
The mild words and humble atti-
ture of the old priest were SO comical
that nobody could conceal his amuse-
ment any longer. A roar Of laughter
shook the shack. Simeon yawned.
''I'll think about my soul when I'm
sick" he answered.
"You may be very sick at any mo-
ment, Simeon, without expecting it."
"Im take the chances Of that" an
swered Simeon.
simeon, I am growing tired Of
speaking to you. Do you know that
your house is a plague-spot in this vii
Iage? Simeon, for the last time. won't
you close up for good and all?"
"Ah, father. you mean all right"
said Simeon, "but that's your Job. !
bet you're just as much a sport as
anybody here. IL only you let yourself
60. Come ON now, and get into .
game with us"
Simeon" said Father Lucien, you
were asking me about this stick. I'll
show you what It's for. Look"
Smack went the hazel knob on Sim
cons head.
Simeon was so fabbergasted that
he fell back against the plank table.

A for the cure. he seemed transhg-
ured. Holding the singlestick in the
middle, he twirled 1t until 1t looked
like a knobby streak Of light. while he
pirouetted like dervish.
In reality he was going through the
important foot exercise marked COM
bination 8; but nobody knew that.
"Come on. Simeon" said Father Luz
