1t could be possible. He hated the lit
tie village; even Lafe's presence had
become intolerable TO him.

schooner and arranged for him to sail
for Quebec the following evening with
the little load-one schooner full

drove back toward the camp.
But, seeing that the Office was dark
and unoccupied. he stopped there on
his way, opened his desk and took out
the envelope which he supposed to
contain the letter and paper from Nor
ris. In Quebec he meant to go through
them again. mailing to Rosny those
papers that had reference to his at

CHAPTER XIV.


LATE was surprised to feel the bitter
tang Of the air when he left the mill
Office. II was going to be winter now,
he reflected. and. II Hilary could be
held only three days, there could be
no question OF an immediate journey
to Quebec.
Reaching the waste OF open ground
before the Chateau. he saw that a
sleigh had been there that day; pos
sibly IL was In the stables now. He
rang the bell, nodded to Robitaille
who opened the door, disregarded his
incomprehensible address, which
seemed to negative Lafe's wish TO en-
ter, and went by instinct into the liv-
ing room at the end OF the hall for the
first time In his life.
He tapped at the door, but there
came no answer. He knocked more
loudly, and went In without waiting
for any. He discovered the Seigneur
in big leather chair before the huge,
glowing fire. Madeleine standing be-
side him and Edouard Brousseau q
short distance away. There was an
atmosphere OF immediate constraint,
as II Lafe's appearance had interrupt
ed tense interview. Lafe sensed Il,
believe his luck. He had wanted
Brousseau there badly, but he had not
hoped to meet him..
Brousseau was the first to speak,
He may have guessed the nature Of
Lafe's errand from Lafe's attitude,
though not its fullness. He scowled
Its the man from the MILL" he said
In sneering tone TO Monsieur Rosny.
Madeleine raised her eyes and Lafe
read In them the same intuition that
was in Brousseau's, and also her chal-
lenge. She was arming to oppose him
in his fight for Hilary. she was prepar-
Ing to fight against all that she held
dearest. for the sake OF the swindler
across the room. Lafe admired her
courage, but this he had expected.
MY business is with Mr.. Rosny,"
he said.
Don't let that trouble you. l speak
for Monsieur Rosny," answered Brous-
seau.
you'll hear for him, too, them" re-
torted LATE. 'Mr. Rosny. that man is
a liar, a thief and a swindling rogue.
That's what I've come TO prove"
Brouseau started forward, his face
pale with rage. AS he placed himself
In a fighting attitude LATE calmly as
sumed that OF defense, the left fist
ready, the right arm across his chest,
turned outward and slightly upward.
Brousseau was no coward, but he hest
tated. and his moment passed.
The Seigneur's face grew dark with
anger. mo man can say such things
of a guest OF NINE" he cried. and
gripped the arms of his chair as II try
ing to rise. Madeleine bent over him
and restrained him. Her face was
flushed with resentment.
