TRAVELLING MAN

Taking Tanlac. ;
Is Free From Indigestion and
Feels Fine Now.

Still another popular Knight of the
Grip" comes forward with his I'M
qualified endorsement of Tanlac.
This time it is G. p. Jewel, of 400 Oak
land avenue, Waterloo. Iowa, who rep
resents "A well known Iowa firm in
Indiana and Illinois. and his statement
regarding the benefits he has derived
from the use of Tanlac is both inter-
esting and remarkable.
II came here looking for the buyer

the Tanlac representative at the Hook

thought you was going to fire Morris.
and he comes out and fires me and Or
ders he off the concession. That's a
grand way to start standing by your
word, Mr.. Askew."
II have fred him."
"What?" yelled Lafe, spinning
round.
Il fired him after we'd had a talk,
Lafe. And I guess he put on front in
order to get rid Of you, because you
know too much, hoping that it would
mean nothing to me. But it does, Lafe.
Tell me what made you make that
crazy dash for the steamer"
Because I'm sick to death Of this
darned country" answered Lafe. "Be-
cause l can't stand the people, or the
climate, or Father Lucy praying out
fires, or the verandas. I'm sick of it,
Mr. Askew, and Clarice and the kids
is in Shoeburyport. That's why. l
guess" he said, raising his head and
looking at Hilary plaintively, II guess
my feelings kind of got the better Of
me-"
Hilary thumped him on the shoulder.
That's all right, Lafe," he said, "but
you're going to sign on with me for a
year from October first-just one year
more. And you're going to sign as
manager, at Morris salary"
Lafe Connell looked at him as if it
was all dream. Lafe had been work
ing at forty-five dollars a week since
his arrival.
'Mr. Askew," he said, when he could
steady his voice, Il guess I've been un-
grateful. But when Morris told me l
was discharged I naturally concluded
that he'd bought you out. I'll stay, Mr..
Askew, and I'll do all I can to help
clean up this mess and put things on a
paying foundation. I guess everyone's
been cheating your uncle, Mr.. Askew,
from Morris and Brousseau and Le-
blanc down to Jean-Baptiste the scaler.
l knew they were swindling you, and
Brousseau telephoned me to keep you
in the dark, and-I tried to do it."
'Never mind, Lafe. You and I will
go over the books together and clean
up."
"And I tell you this" went on Lafe.
"Give fellows like Baptiste-Baptiste
and mean example of honest work,
and you'll see they'll follow you and
take pride in the business. It's the
big fellows we want to get"
Hilary held out his hand. 'WeIl
shake on that" he said. "You accept
the post, Lafe, and you won't make a
break for home agafn?"
"Never again, so long as we're on
the job together" Lafe answered.
Far off the steamship was pursuing
her way toward Quebec. Hilary,
watching her, was conscious of a zest
of living which his conversion of Lafe
did not wholly explain. What, he Won
dered, was the secret of his interest
in st. Boniface?

CHAPTER IIl.-continued.

"Ah, yes, Monsieur Askew. But,
eou see. Mr.. Morris he pay the men
their wages"
"Call them here" said Hilary.
Jean-Marie called, and the men came
forward. "Now tell them what I have
told you" Hilary continued.
Jean-Marie's translation was met
with a volley of interjections. The
little timekeeper began half dozen
explanations and finally gave up in
despair.
'"They say it's Monsieur Brousseau's
Hrders," he explained. "You see, mon
sieur, we know now that the property
Is yours, but Monsieur Brousseau hires
the mill hands"
"Tell them in future l shall hire the
mill hands. Tell them it is my mill" "
This was met with blank incredulity.
Evidently Brousseau's lease of mill
fights had passed for ownership.
Anyway, say that their jobs are
good for the coming year." announced
Hilary, and wondered whether he
5ared hope to make good on that state
ment. "Where's Lafe Connell?" he
added.
'Lafe, he is discharged, too," an
swered Jean-Marie. HE go right away

CHAPTER ~.
The First Encounter.

Next morning Hilary drove slowly
through his property. He noticed with
approval a splendid growth of white
spruce. 1t was a great timber coun-
try; Hilary had already come to that
conclusion, and to this: that, properly
worked and managed, the st. Boniface
tract had the possibilities of consider
able profits, perpetual ones, if he cut
wisely and carefully.
After driving at slow pace for half
an hour he emerged into a little
burned-over district, from which he
could see for good distance on every
side of him. He stopped the pony and
looked about him, trying to get his
bearings.
The road must run down to the
gorge, where was the main way be-
tween the mill and the interior of the
seigniory, Hilary decided.
He drove on again. The track had
been disused that season and was over
grown with creeping raspberry briers,
which made progress difficult. Sud-
denly the underground fell away, and
the road ran upward again, hard and
firm, toward bridge that spanned a
wide creek tributary to Rocky river.
Now Hilary knew where he was. 1t
was the creek which he had passed
that morning when he drove out with
Connell to inspect the seigniory.
He was about to continue his way
along the main roadto the mill, but an
impulse urged him to turn the horse
about and seek the esroad that led to LIE
blanc's old concession. Presently he
heard the sound of axes among the
trees. He came upon the clearing, tt
find the old camp still standing, and o
great pile Of newly hewn timber
stacked up under the trees.
| At Hilary's appearance two or three
men looked up from the logs which
they were saving and whispered. The!
seemed to draw together. At that mo
