CHAPTER X.
Unexpected Allies.

Lafe Connell, at Monsieur Trem-
blay's hotel, stretched out his legs upon
a chair and pulled v~iciously at his
pipe, while Monsieur Tremblay leaned
against the wall and listened to his
guests semi-soliloquy.
yep, Tremblay, I'm through now"
LATE vas saying. I'm through for
good, and I'm going to wait here till
the boat comes tomorrow and then
beat it for Shoeburyport. Lord, I'll be
glad to see Clarice-my wife-and the
kids again.
"Tve put up a good fight, Tremblay.
I've dropped eight thousand dollars in
this fool game, and Clarice and me
will have to start buying our home
again when I get back to Shoebury-
port, and maybe I won't hear nothing
about it, neither. But when it's a case
of throwing away a few thousand dol
lars worth of lumber, just because you
look upon a strike as a personal Of
Tense, and me losing my home, I've
finished. I've come to the end. The
end-fnish-no more. You under
stand me, Tremblay. I'm going to
leave him to his fate" continued Lafe,
trying to draw a few more mouthfuls
of tobacco smoke from his burned-out
plug. "It's his fault"
He shook his pipe out angrily.
"Oui," said Tremblay; and the word
conveyed any significance that its
nearer might choose to put upon it.
"Oui," he continued thoughtfully,
though what he was thinking about
was incomprehensible.
ut amt my job" LATE pursued. I'm
a family nan I got my wife and kids
to think about, and I'm against pre-
paredness. 1t amt reasonable to hire
a man for manager and then expect
him to go round saloon-busting, is it,
Tremblay?
"Oui," answered Tremblay.
you're right" said LATE. "Of
course it amt" He filed his pipe
again, lit and pulled at it. 81 don't
know what in thunder's wrong with
this tobacco tonight" he said, and
emptied it. He crossed his right leg
over his left, uncrossed them, and then
crossed his left over his right. Then
he got up.
81 guess I'll take a stroll up the road
and see if the stars are out" he said.
Lafe's stroll was a rapid one. AS
soon as he had left the porch he al
most ran up the hill road toward the
cliff. AS he painted toward the summit
he heard the rumble of wheels in the
distance, and presently he saw the
cures rig coming toward him. He
hailed.
"Say, Father Lucy, d'you mind Civ.
ing me a lift into st. BonifaceY' he
called.
The rig stopped and LATE perceived
Madeleine Rosny seated at the cures
side. Her hands were clasped, hei
face agitated and deathly pale. Lafe'S
hand went up to his hat awkwardly
Il beg pardon, Father Lucy" he NUT
tered.
Jump in, Mr.. Lafe," said the cure
"I'm glad that we met. We need you
We are going to st. Boniface. JUMP
in and l shall tell you on the way"
Lafe entered the buggy, and Father
Lucien urged on the horse; then HI
turned and said:
Louis Duval has opened a salool
in Baptiste's old house, and Monsieur
Askew has gone to stop him."

stretched out and motionless, his head
in her lap. She bent over him and
LATE never forgot the look of anguish
in her eyes, or the tension of the white
face.
Still supporting Hilary's head, she
began tearing long strips off her petit
coat, frantically, as If she hardly knew
what she was doing. Hilary's clothing
was so drenched with blood that it
was difficult to determine where the
wound lay. There were livid bruises
about his mouth and cheeks, and on
