the rumor several cars Of the steel

The information came through
railroad men on the M. K. & T. over
which road the material is passing
to Forgan.
A Democrat reporter asked W. p.
Byers as to whether or not the rumor
was correct but he was unable to say
According to Mr.. Dyer they are ex-
pecting the material to arrive any

is true although he could not say
with certainty.
He gives the information that
work is progressing very satisfactor'

The Democrat hopes to hear the

Father Lucien had grown very fond
Of Hilary. He did not know what to
do. Hilary was In the woods now. and
almost inaccessible. The cure had not
even Lafe to wranEle with. His days
passed In detection. Moreover. the
matter Of Ste. Marie bothered him.
Father Lucien had been jeered out Of
the village. and he knew that II the
bishop heard Of It he would be trans
ferred to another parish. Father LII
Glen loved st. Boniface. where he had
spent all his life.
He had sent to Quebec for book ON
single-stick exercises. which he had
eeen advertised in an old magazine.
he had become interested. and had
fashioned 4 nne singiestick from .
plant hazel bough. Father Lueien
followed the Instructions given In the
book with patient care. and with the
best results. He was very thorough
IN oil that he did. His muscles began
to grow. his physical health became
excellent. Soon he became quite e.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

he seemed bleeding to death, and she
could only try to stanch the blood that
never stopped flowing.
Suddenly there came q terrific lurch
Of the vessel. which began to spin
craxily In the trough Of the sea. And
above the roaring Of the wind came
the wild cries Of Dupont and the ez-
postulations of Brousseau. The cap
tatn's reason had deserted him: he had
abandoned the wheel TO light out his
quarrel with Hilary. The schooner.
uncontrolled, ran sidewise before the
wind, and Brousseau, willing n he
was to let Dupont 60 on hts errand OF
murder, was unable to steer her. he
had handled ships before. but tho
swift cross-currents at the juncture OF
river and gulf made the task impos-
sible for one who did not know init
mately that uncharted track. far from
the main channel, now smpassable
with ice, The schooner was rolling
heavily, huge seas were sweeping over
board, and she turned successfully
half round the compass; the wind.
catching her swinging sails. began to
whirl her round and round; and
steadily she drifted toward the pack
ice along the shore of the island.
Madeleine. working over Hilary
frantically In the cabin, saw Dupont
and Brousseau struggling on the poop
deck. Dupont was trying to force
his way between the lumber piles,
while Brousseau urged him back to the
.xheel. Her mind worked rapidly. Was
there any way Of controlling the stu
alton? She could see none. The moon
had risen high, and the mists were
clearing away. Not far distant was
the nearing point Of the island. and
the open Gulf lay beyond. Toward the
ice field the ship was hurrying with
frightful speed.
Madeleine saw the Ice fast on every
side. The narrow passage behind.
filed with black, foam-hecked water.
was closing in. She did not hesitate,
but caught at Hilary and urged him to
his feet. He managed to rise. with
her support. and staggered at her side
toward the bulwarks.
She stopped. picked the fur coat
from the shoulders Of the dead out
law. and placed It about him. She
pointed toward the ice field. Brous-
seau was still struggling with Dupont
near the wheel and Dupont was
thrashinx his arms and bowling his
wild paean. With the last exercise Of
his strength Hilary managed to drop
to the Ice.
He lay there. Madeleine crouche0
over him under the sbow Of the vessel
