stunning blow upon the back of the
head. He staggered, slipped, and fell
down the ladder into the little open
space before the cabin.
Half dazed, he was barely conscious
of seeing the grinning faces of Pierre
and Leblanc stare into his. His over
coat was torn from his back, his pock-
cts emptied. He waited for the knife
thrust, but only kicks followed. He
was lifted and thrown into the cabin.
The outlaws ran back to assist Du-
pont in getting up the sails. 1t was
not Brousseau's plan to dispatch him
within hearing of the shore.
He heard the sails being holsted,
and felt the schooner moving from the
wharf. Then he heard low cry and
saw Madeleine upon her knees before
him.
She bent her face to his, whispering
that she loved him. pleading for for
giveness, and beseeching him to rise.
And Hilary opened his eyes to dis
cover that the vision was reality.
He staggered to his feet and stood
swaying in the middle of the cabin,
while she kept her arms about him.
He began to remember. He knew
where he was now. Madeleine thrust
the revolver into his hand.
"They have planned to murder your"
she cried. 81 learned of it and
brought this. You must not die, Hill
airy, now that we love each other"
He broke the revolver. 1t was
empty, and the bore so eaten away
with rust that to have fred it would
have been more dangerous to the
shooter than to his object of aim. He
saw the horror on the girls face as
she made the discovery
81 did not think about the car
tridges," she cried. 81 heard you were
in danger and seized it and came to
you. What shall we do? 1 am going
to dle with you"
1--WE are not going to die" he an
swered. But he felt trickle of blood
in his eyes. He pulled himself to-
gether to face the situation, thinking
his mind was capable
He heard the sails being run up, and
the creak of the cordage in the wind
Then the schooner, grinding her
course through the drift ice, began to
roll and pitch as the force of the gulf
current struck her. And through the
portfolios Hilary saw the lights Of st.
Boniface reel into the enwrapping fog
and vanish.
With Medicines arm about him he
thought with desperate concentration.
Doubtless the ruffians had gone to as
sist Dupont in taking the schooner out
into midstream, confident that their
victim was at their mercy. Once the
vessel had passed the dangerous ice
and deadly sunken rocks Dupont
alone could keep her on her course.
And Dupont had planned his death.
He remembered the hate on the old
mans face: but he could not imagine
the cause of it, for he did not connect
1t with the story about Marie.
They would return, they would dis
cover that the revolver was useless;
his life was worth about ten minutes
purchase, and Of Madele;Ee's fate he
dared not think. He must fight for
her and live for her. He got his shak-
ing limbs under control.

CHAPTER XVI.
Dupont Remembers.


Brousseau was seated In the library
OF the CANDY house when tall old
man came to the door. He recon.
noitred, recognized Captain Dupont
and admitted him.
Since the exposure Brousseau had
hardly left his room. He sat there
haggard, crushed, planning. scheming
to get back that which seemed slipping
inexorably from his grasp. Consumed
with furious hate of Hilary, he seemed
inhibited from action by the very We
hemence of his will.
Hes sailing for Quebec tomorrow
evening"" said the captain. 81 am to
take him with schooner load Of lum-
Der"
"Askew?" queried Brousseau sharp
ly.
Eyes. monsieur. He came to me late
this afternoon. His horse was all in a
sweat. He must have driven like the
devil. He told me to sail tomorrow
night, whether the holds full or
empty"
Brousseau was staggered. If Hilary
was going to Quebec Immediately, 1t
must be to lay those papers, which he
had sought vainly in his desk, before
the police. He saw the prison walls
closing about him. And to the great
hate he bore Hilary was added the lust
for liberty.
He must have the papers. LATE
Connell knew besides, but LATE could
be laughed at, once the papers were
his own. His plan began to take shape.
If Hilary were out of the way and the
documents destroyed he could yet win
Madeleine, achieve his dream of be-
coming Seigneur, his life ambition.
Dupont" he said, "you and I have
not always been on good terms. You
refused to break your contract with
the st. Boniface company. But guess
you see differently now"
Dupont clenched his fists. "Pve
sworn to kill him." he whispered. ."Tve
held my peace. I talked with him face
TO face tonight, and he never knew the
devil that was sitting in my throat,
telling me to make an end"
''Can you keep that devil of yours
silent till you have him on board?"
asked Brousseau.
Dupont pulled at his tangled board
and nodded. Brousseau. watching him,
knew that the madness which held him
would carry him to the end. "Who
are your crew." he asked.
"Drouin, Lachance and Georges
Martin -r
1.-Two men are enough. have two
good men for you in place of them.
Listen carefully, Dupont"
Marie, sleeping overhead, heard her
father drive up in a sleigh that night,
and there was whispering at the door.
That frightened her. Another thing
that alarmed her was his way of en-
tering. Usually he would stamp into
the house, as If on board; but now he
came in furtively, and she could hard
~ hear his stealthy movements below.
She wondered what was portending.
Of late he had watched her more keen
ly than ever, and had been more silent.
She slept by starts, and awakened
at dawn to hear a stealthy step out
side her door. In the dim light she
saw her father bending over her bed.
She sat up, stretching out her arms as
If to ward off something. In her con-
fused condition between sleep and
waking she had fancied for moment
that he held something in his hand
4 knife or a revolver.
But she saw that he held nothing.
