"Your horse bolted," explained
Hilary. 81 am sorry you did not know
about the dynamiting."
At his words look of fear came
upon her face; and then 1t hardened
and her gray eyes flashed angrily.
"You have saved my lifew she
cried. "You have saved me, and 1
wish you were a thousand miles away.
1 wish had never seen you!"
"There Is no need to let that trouble
you, Mademoiselle Rosny." answered
Hilary, stung into scorn by her in
gratitude. "There is enough room in
this country for both of us. If you
will let me help you up the bank, no
doubt you can find your way home.
I assure you that l have no intention
of intruding on you further"
His scorn seemed TO beat down her
anger. She looked at him for the first
time without hatred.
"Why have you come into my life?
Why 20 you begin to MAY part in
it?" she whispered, as if i'm terror.
Suppose you let me assist you up
the bank, Mademoiselle before / an
swer your question. We can hardly
discuss that matter here" said Hilary.
She seemed to recover her self-bos-
session. s"There is no need to answer
me-" she replied scornfully. Never
theless she permitted him to brush the
dust from her skirt and to give her
his hand. They scrambled up the side
of the gorge and stood breathless upon
the road again. Far away Hilary
heard the crash of the logs, flung over
the dam and shooting toward the boom.
Madeleine Rosny turned and faced

uprise. Then. somehow, he caught
the reins and leaped for the shelving
bank, and missed.
He lost his foothold, but he chung
to the reins while the horse plunged
and reared, each jerk almost tearing
was swept against the branches of the
trees that overhung the road, and
blinded by the swishing twigs and
boughs, now the precipice was under
him, and the gorge below, where the
logs cracked and Numbered as they
battered their way down the river.
He saw the girl clinging to the saddle,
then TO the beasts name; he tried TO
reach her with his arms, but he could
not stop the boiling animal; and then
he was flung free, and the riderless
horse went galloping down the road
toward st. Boniface.
He must have been stunned for a
few moments, for when he opened his
eyes he found himself lying upon a
ledge little distance from the top Of
the steep bank. On the same ledge
was Madeleine Rosny clinging TO a
swaying sapling that overhung the
river and trying 10 rise.
Hilary scrambled to his feet. to find
that, in spite of painful bruises, he
was unfnjured. He gave Madeleine
his hands and pulled her out of the
branches; and they stood looking at
each other.

human torrent. He saw them. and his
eyes were dilated with impotent fury.
There was murder In them as they fell
upon Hilary. Lafe shuddered.
His impulse was to walt for the man.
but he recognized that Baptiste was
beyond all reason and self-control. He
had misinterpreted Hilary's action:
the only thing now was to elude him
and get the girl away before Baptiste
could follow. He was glad Hilary had
not seen Baptlste. He meant to say
nothing of it,
The three set out on their way.

felt great wrath growing in him as
he looked at her. At last they gained
the shore road and presently reached
Marie's cottage.

that Baptiste was aware of his pres

seriousness that he had done him some
service. Nothing would have pleased
him better than to have seen his suit
with Marie Dupont successful.
The strengthening of the boom was
finished. The wooden structure had
been immensely fortified with great
trunks, dashed and nailed together
resting in concrete which had been

Everything depended on the first
minute after the jam was broken. If
the torrent could be carried off through
the sluice gates, in the main, the logs
would find an easy passage over the
dam into the lake. But actually the re-

torrent without any likelihood Of

CUSHMAN IS HELD
UNDER HEAVY BAIL
Real Estate Operator is Brought
Back From Connecticut on
Embezzlement Charge.

Fred B. Cushman was held in $4,000
bail in Municipal Court today on q
charge of embezzlement, and his case
continued until Friday for arraignment.
The former real estate dealer was ar
rested in New Haven, Conn.,, Thursday

about $50 this morning. He remained
at the police station until court opened.

this is only one of number of charges

bureau. Henry r. Isaacs, who has been
retained by Cushman as his counsel, said
that Cushman hopes To restore some of
the money which he owes, and that he
has confidence in his ability TO do so.

SUGAR SITUATION.
What National Wholesalers Association
Thinks About Conditions.

A circular letter issued by the National
Wholesale Grocers Association OF New
York City, TO itA members, presents its
views on the sugar situation.
The letter admits the situation is
critical. warns against the excited scramble
to get it and states that n little more
caImness and patience would help the
situation.
Sugar cannot be had in sufficient
quantities the letter states, to supply
even longtime customers. Spectators,
are offering sugar at fancy prices for im-
mediate carlot deliveries. Refiners say
thev are unable 20 buy raw sugur at
reasonable prices and have no surpluses
for delivery. The spectators are in eon-

Looking su,iarely ut the situation, it is

an unnecessary shortage and creating
a phsyeological scare which adds To the
