CHAPTER XVII.
Father Cucien Arrives,


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 wrangle 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 If the
bishop heard of 1t he would be trans
ferred to another parish. Father Luz
cien loved St. Boniface, where he had
spent all his life.
He had sent to Quebec for book ON
single-stick exercises. which he had
seen advertised in an old magazine.
He had become interested, and had
fashioned a fine singlestick from .
plant hazel bough. Father Lucien
followed the instructions given In the
book with patient care, and with tho
best results. He was very thorough
in all that he did. His muscles began
to grow, his physical health became
excellent. Soon he became quite ex-
pert. 1t was a sight to see the cure
practicing lunges in the seclusion Of
his study. among the theological vol
umes but nobody had seen him except
his old houSekeeper, and 1t took sew
eral minutes to convince the old lady
that her revered charge had not gons
suddenly insane.

Even though her illiteracy was of
pronounced character in those days.
when many Of higher rank were un-
lettered, Nell. the orange seller of the
Theater Royal. was received in the
best London society, for her anima-
ton, humor and kindly nature seemed
to have more than overbalanced her
defects. and her many acts Of charity
gained her the lasting esteem and af.
