and wept heartbrokenly, and now she
was no longer afraid of the waves that
Tapped the boats sides as it tossed and
reared in the surging waters.
An hour went by. The turning tide
and veering wind enabled the men to
get the craft under control again and
head her up the river. Pierre came to
Marie with the brandy bottle. He
thrust it into her face.
"Come, little one, let us kiss and
make up" he shouted.
He pulled her to her feet. Her
| world was broken, life seemed help
less, and in her broken pride she stood
humbly before him in the rocking boat,
her hands clasped.
"Pierre, / am sorry" she wept.
"Thou knowest I love thee, Pierre.
Forgive me-" ,
Pierre laughed. 1t a good to see
her thus.
"Drink," he said, gathering her to
him with one hand. "Take a long pull
and We'll all be happy together.
Drink !" he commanded, as she hesitat-
ed in disgust at the smell of the
liquor.
AS she obeyed him he tilted the bot
tie and the burning fluid raj down her
throat, choking her. Pierre laughed
boisterously and pressed his lips to
hers.
"Soon we shall reach Quebec, little
one," he said, "and then thou shalt
have thy ring"
"Tonight?" she faltered, with still
sinking heart. He had forgiven her,
then; still, everything was changed,
and st. Boniface was far away across
the waters.
"Surely tonight" he answered, wink
ing at Leblanc, and took the tiller
again.
Marie's head swan, the boat seemed
spinning round; she lay in the cabin,
conscious vaguely of Leblanc and
Nanette beside her, laughing and MAX
ing love. Hours passed before she
realized completely where she was.
Sometimes she heard Pierre speaking
to her, and once Nanette shook her,
and seemed afraid. When she re-
gained consciousness she found that
the boat was in calm water. They were
under the lee of an island, and the
sun was low in the west.
The sloop grounded, and Pierre.
picking her up in his arms, carried
her ashore and set her down on the
beach. She staggered to her feet.
The sloop vas beached, and Leblanc
and Nanette were at her side.
'But this is not Quebec" Marie
stammered; and then, looking about in
bewilderment, she recognized where
she was.
Pierre caught her by the arm. 1--WE
are not going to Quebec" he exclaimed
roughly.
"Pierre, why are we here? I must
go home. Take me home I"
The terror of her position dawned
on her. She sobbed wildly and wrung
her hands. Nanette cajoled her.
"Come, don't be a little FOOL" she
said. "We are going to stay here-the

at him curiOuSly. He had several times
noticed a certain furtiveness in their
regard, but had each time ascribed it
to Imagination and dismissed the mat
ter. He did so again. He was walk
ing back when he saw a boy outside
the office.
Captain Dupont says he is ready to
sail, monsieur" he said.
"Tell him I'm coming down to speak
to him." said Hilary.
He went toward the wharf. Dupont
was talking to Baptiste. AS he ap-
preached, Hilary saw the two cease
their conversation and look at him,
Then Baptiste walked slowly away to-
ward his vessel. Dupont, who had
| just received the message from the
boy, stood mOtionless where he had
been, waiting.
Hilary became suddenly conscious of
an atmosphere of hatred. When he
reached Dupont the old man eyed him
with the same searching and malignant
| stare that he had given him on the 0c-
casion of their first encounter. But
now the eyes that blazed a foot from
his own did not relax their gaze. There
was a menace there, immediate and
hostile, though the face was immObile,
1t flashed through Hilary's mind that
the old man was mad, that his long
brooding had at last broken the fragile
vessel of the mind.
Disregarding the captains look,
Hilary explained briefly the matter on
which he had come. All the while
he spoke Dupont continued cycling him,
Hilary began to feel uneasy. swell,
is that clear?" he inquired.
"That much is clear" answered Du.
pont reluctantly.
"Well, what's the matter, then?" de.
manded Hilary sharply.
Suddenly he perceived that the old
mans face was twisted with passion.
His expression was so fanatical that
Hilary thought he was going to attack
him.
But then the face resumed its mask
again. Without a word, Dupont
swung onto the ship and left him.
Baptiste's vessel was moored next
to the wharf. AS Dupont crossed it
to reach his own, Hilary saw Baptiste
on deck, bending over a tarpaulin,
The two men did not speak, and
Hilary, moved by a sudden impulse
walked the length of the wharf and
accosted the little F%renchman.
"Baptiste," he said, "some time age
l told you 1 didn't know whether you
had any knowledge about the cutting
of my boom or not. l want to say I'm
sorry. l know that you had none, and
I shouldn't have spoken as I did,
And he put out his hand.
Baptiste looked up. The little mans
face was like a thundercloud. He
clenched and unclenched his fists
tiercely, m%uttering. Then he dashed
Hilary's hand aside with his.
Il don't shake hands with your he
cried, and the tears began to stream

in her home. Pierre was angry at
first, but afterward he was glad, for
he saw her dancing in Simeon'S place
| and began to conceive an in~fatuation
for her. He renewed his advances,
telling her of Quebec, of the free life
of the world beyond. When her imag-
ination was enkindled and her cheeks
flushed and her eyes sparkled at the
| picture, he asked her to accompany
| Nanette with him on board his vessel,
come to Quebec, and marry him.
That was three days before, and it
| was of this that the girl was think
ing as her father walked back toward
the cottage after his meeting with
Hilary. On the same day Dupont,
running a small load along the shore,
had learned the gossip about his
daughter from a Cabling woman at
Ste. Therese, twenty-five miles away
so far the news had travelled. She
had gone to Ste. Marie in his absence,
to dance with Hilary, who assuredly
had a wife in his own country if he
had not, he was not likely to seek one
among the habitants.
The story burned into the captains
brain. 1t was the solvent of his san.
ity, the swapping of the only bond that
had linked him to the common life.
For Marie's sake he had hidden his
heart this score of years, and silenced
those impetuous voices calling to him
to leave all and go out into the world
and seek the sign which was to be
found branded upon some strangers
forehead.
He stood at the cottage door, look
ing at his daughter, who had risen
and faced him. Jean Baptiste re
manned outside.
II sail for Quebec tonight" said
Dupont. "Jean waits two days tc
complete his cargo"
She nodded; her thoughts we're fai
away. But it came across her mind
with momentary compassion, that she
would never see her father again.
"Perhaps I shall not see thee again.
said Dupont somberly; and the words
echoing her own thoughts, frightened
her. She shrank away, and Dupont
put out his hands and grasped her by
the wrists. 'The name!' he said.
She shook her head; she never spoke
when he made this demand.
"The namei I have been very pa
tient with thee. Now thy reason fol
Withholding it is gone. The name!"
"What do you meanT she STAN
mered.
"The name !" he raved; and for thu
first time since her childhood hi
raised his clenched fist as IL to strike
her.
Baptiste, outside, heard him ant
saw the gesture. He came running
up to the cottage door and caught Du
pont by the arm. The captain hest
tated; then, collecting himself, as {
new thought came to him, he allowed
Baptiste to lead him back to tn,
schooner.
The new thought was this: If Mari,
would not give him the name, at leas
he would prevent a repetition of he
mothers history.
It held him, as a dream holds (;

four of us. 1t will be like a picnic.
Come, then, Marie"
She screamed wildly. Pierre adj
vanced upon her savagely with up
raised hand, but Nanette restrained
him. "No, do not strike her." she
pleaded.
"Come, then" growled Pierre, grasp
ing her by the arms and hurrying her
forward.
She screamed again, wildly, and
fought f~uriously for her freedom.
Pierre struck her again and again;
then, lifting her into his arms, he
clapped one hand across her mouth
and began to carry her up the beach
toward the forest.

And he rushed below, leaving Hilary

When BrouSseau, driving furiously
hOmeward from the Chateau, reached
the cottage of Jules Dupont, he saw
the solitary figure of the girl Marie
seated outside the door. He let his
horse rest for a breathing spell before
continuing up the hill, DOTTED his hat
and saluted her.
"Bonjour, Mademoiselle Dupont" he
called heartily. :
"Bonjour, Monsieur B~rousseau," she
answered mechanically.
Brousseau had never been able to
force a smile from her lips. For a
long time he had dreaded this silent
girl, then he had ceased to think about
her; of late he had again begun to
hate the presence of that lonely figure
| upon the porch, which was always
there whenever he drove into st. Boni-
face or back to his garish house by the
| seashore.
The cure had not told Hilary all that
related to the old captains history.
But the thread Of madness that linked
him to the past was spreading into a
