Next Thursday.

Unless we are incorrectly informed,
the third membership Red Cross call
is scheduled for next Thursday, Armis-
tlce Day, running on to Thanksgiving.
We do not hear of any arrangements
locally, but that does not mean that
none are being made, although it NAV
be that the call has been postponed, as
has been the case several times pre-
vlous. The local people might take
greater interest in this humanitarian
work, and at the same time get more
local benefits for the community at
large in the different energies put forth
by some of the parish branches, that
might well be taken to heart here.
Everybody knows the Red Cross and
we have given our space to the maxi
mum at all times.

Court Orders
MandamuS To Issue

In the matter of the Police Jury VS..
Town of Thibodaux, the Supreme
Court last Wednesday, ordered writ of
mandamus to issue. In other words the
Court ruled that the District Judge
should be ordered to grant an appeal
from his bonding of the injunction by
the Town of Thibodaux. The court will
then pass upon whether or not the
Judge erred in granting bond to
the town in the bonding of the injunc-
tion. 1t means only that the Supreme
Court is to decide whether the bonding
of the injunction will remain, or whe-
ther it shall not be bonded and it re-
mains bonded until otherwise ordered.
The case will thus be further delayed
trial on its merits. The question still
remains: can the public be forced
to pay toll not legally fixed? It'll
would appear not.

Marie Dupont.

Lafe was as respondent as Hilary
over Leblancs treachery. Hilary
had only one cause for satisfaction in
the situation, and that was a purely
personal one. He was glad that Le-
blanc's cancellation of the contract had
left the Chateau grounds immune, and
so had neutralized Brousseau's first
move in the campaign.
What CALLED him was the reflection
that in this fight which BrousSeau had
thrust upon him he was fighting
Madeleine too. He shrank from the
thought of Madeleine Rosny as Brous-
seau's wife: he tried TO think of her
as sacrificing herself for her fathers
sake. Isut this picture would not hold
together; she was most evidently ac-
quainte.i with Brousseau's designs, and
approved OF them.
On the day after the interview with
Leblanc a new development occurred.
Lafe. who had been grumbling all day,
came into the Office and flung down
his hat in utter detection.
Something new? asked Hilary.
There's talk OF a strike" said Lafe
in disgust. "Brousseau has had his
men at work among 'em. and they're
saying that you're keeping wages
down. and that Brousseau would give
two collars day If you would"

They stopped and shook hands upon
their compact, and then went on to-
gether, past the struggling outskirts
Of the village, beyond the wharf, until
they reached Dupont's cottage.
The cure tapped at the door. With
I'm Hilary could hear the murmur Of
voices. which suddenly ceased. Then
there came the splutter of a match,
and the flame of lamp. Hilary saw
a girls figure Ii silhouette against the
shade.
1t was that of Marie Dupont the
captains daughter. and Hilary remen-
bered that there was some mystery
about her; he had seen her going her
solitary way about the village, ignored
by all and ignoring all.
At the same time he saw another
figure Sinking away into the shadows
of the pines. Father Lucien saw 1t
too, and darted forward and caught IL
by the arm, and drew 1t toward the
beach.
1t was n girl of about four and
twenty, with foolish. weak face and
gaudy finery.

very sternly. ''how often have / for

The door opened and Marie Dupont
stood on the threshold. The flicker
ing light of the lamp within fell en-
her face. Illuminating one side and
leaving the other half In shadow. The
face was pretty. but sad, embittered,
and rather hard. The cure, still hold

The ringing scorn in her voice was
characteristic of some latent strength;
she seemed to Hilary like one who has
been hammered into strength upon the
anvil of life.

It had been the general expectation
that Louis Duval would open his Sc

AS the two stood there Hilary was

through the dancers toward one side
of the room. where two girls were
seated. Hilary had observed one of
them decline several invitations to
dance and drink. though apparently
urged by the other; now he recognized
them as Nanette and Marie Dupont.
Baptiste strobe straight up to Ma

hear nothing, but he saw the little

shrug her shoulders and avert her
face. Nanette was laughing, and two
or three of the lumbermen nearby
watched the little scene with amuse-
ment- Baptiste grew more vehement.
Marie turned on him angrily.
