again. He went Keeling across the
deck like an inanimate thing, struck
the bulwark. and, as the schooner
lurched. toppled into the sea. He was
probably dead before he disappeared
beneath the waves.
Leblanc rushed frantically toward
the barricade. Hilary was upon him
when he saw Brousseau whip out re-
volver and take deliberate aim at him.
He felt the bullet clip his cheek. Twice
more Brousseau fired. At the second
shot Hilary stumbled and fell fiat in
blanc, shot through the brain, whirled
round twice and collapsed in front of
the barrier.
Madeleine dragged Hilary within the
cabin. Blood was gushing from a
wound in MS breast. Frantically she
began to tear away the upper part of
his clothing and to endeavor to stanch
the wound Suddenly she perceived the
little rusted revolver upon the floor.
She snatched It up and ran TO see
Brousseau in the act of crossing the
barricade. She pushed it into his
face.
Brousseau cursed and dropped on the
far side; Madeleine heard him running
into the darkness. She had brought a
temporary respite. She ran back to
Hilary. But it was almost dark in the
cabin, and there was hardly anything
she could do. He was conscious, but

blended with the fog and the darkness
and vanished finally.
The horse, left uncontrolled, swung
round and galloped homeward, trail
ing tho empty sleigh behind him. Marie
stood shuddering at the end of the
wharf For while she stared out in
terror toward the invisible schooner,
lost in the distance. She could see
nothing, but she could still hear the
roar of the wind in the rigging and the
tapping of the great sails.
Presently, With a low cry. she turned
and began running homeward. She
staggered into the cottage and sank
down before the stove, crouching
there.
.
When Hilary reached the wharf it
was already dark. He had been rec
ognized by no one on the way. He
went straight aboard the schooner,
and found Dupont on deck.
.sWhen do you start?' he asked.
Immediately, monsieur, replied
the captain quietly
The schooner contained a tiny cabin
in the forecastle. Between this and
the poop, in the open bottom, was piled
the lumber. secured with chains, and
stacked high above the sides.
I'm going below" said Hilary, turn
ing away. He did not want to look
upon st. Boniface again.
He put his foot upon the top rung
Of the ladder that led down TO the
forecastle. AS he did so he felt a
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 hoisted,
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 nm.
He began to remember. He knew
where he was now. Madeleine thrust
the revolver into his hand.

FARMERS PuTT|NG
N CAPACITY CROPS

The past week has seen much ac-
tivity by the farmers of the county.
With the breaking Of the rainy sea-
son the ground dried sufficient for
plowing within a few days and no
time was lost by putting in such
crops as We're possible. There is a
shortage of seed in some localities
and also a shortage of horse power.
The grass is high enough now to
provide sustenance for horses and
within few days they will be strong
enough with feeding little grain to
perform the required labor.
Every farmer seems to realize that
this is the year and will do his ut
most to get a maximum production
from the soil

GRAHAM POSTOFEICE TO
GET SPECIAL SERVICE

Since the Graham postotlice was
moved several weeks ago to the
homestead of \. b. Patton the mail
service has been very unsatisfactory.
The Office is three miles distant
from it's former location and off OF
a regular county road. 1t ie under
stood Mail Carrier w. L Cook was
rendered an additional s24o year
To continue the service to Graham,
but declined the proffer.
The difficulty seems to have ad-
jus,ed itself now with the receipt of
an official instruction 10 the postmas
ter at Graham to provide special mes
senger for carrying the mail between
that office and Broadus. This SER
vice was to start May II but no ad-
vance Information could reach the
Graham Office in time so that there
was delay. This special messenger
will have no fixed schedule for car
rying the mail and probably is onl,

of the proposed sraveled highway be
changed to go down the divide from
Rroadns via Kingsley to the Custer

vest of Powderyille. thence via the
I. O ranch and Beehn to Miles City.
The present road from Broadus to
Miles City via Olive and Coalwood
is approximately 81 miles in length
