 Lafe. who understood hardly a word of this coloquy, caught precise sense of what Baptiste was saying, partly of the gestures, but more by his faculty brought out through dialogues on many evenings with his friend Trem- play. He tugged at the cures arm.
 "Tell him that story ain't true, fa- ther.e he said That's what's worry ing him."
 But Father Lucien resumed. as if he had not heard:
 "Even so, Jean, Mademoiselle Ros- ny's life. perhaps. Is in danger. And even if that were not so, thou must return good for evil. Else his blood is upon thee"
 Let It be there would have killed him. only they pulled me away"
 Ut is thy duty, my son." said the cure quietly. Tt is hard test, Jean, but when God calls man to duty, he must obey.
 Baptiste began to break down. "Ah. mon pere, you ask me the hardest thing in my life" he groaned. In the forests have seen his face before me- I have dreamed that l had him by the throat, and started up with joy I have struggled, and 1 have contrived to fight down my desire to slay him. And now you tell me must save him. No, no, mon pere. Save the girl-yes. But let some one else sail the schoon- CT"
 Say, Father Lucy. why don't you explain to him that that yarns a lie?" persisted Lafe.
 But again the cure ignored him. We shall sail as soon as possible Jean," he said. "Go back to the store and instruct the storekeeper to tele- phone to the crew-Drouin is one, and the others I do not know. And then return to me"
 JeanBaptiste stood like a statue. He hung h:s head, muttering. Then. slow ly. he raised it and smiled into the cures face.
 Enough, then. I go," he said gravely.
 Well. I'm darned!" exclaimed Lafe. Say, father. why didn't you tell him il wasn't true. that story?e

CHAPTER XVIII.
The Rescue.

Out or the darkness little light be- gan to glow. It shone and sparkIed, and suddenly raced skyward, diseios- ing the outlines Of the schooner stranded upon the edge of the ice field
 Baptfste drove his vessel straight toward it, running upon the gale. The little group upon the deck watched in terror as the flames spread, until it could be seen that they enwrapped the entire fore part of Dnponts schooner.
 Dupont, in his madness, evading Brousseau, had set fire to the lumber with the aid of the petroleum kegs which he carried in the hold And BrousSeau, at the wheel. was striving desperately to run the burning vessel back into open water and cast her upon the iee-free shore of the south passage. beyond the point. In his fear he had forgotten Madeleine and Hilary.
 As Madeleine crouched on the Zee. still frantically endeavorlng to recall Hilary to consciousness, the thinning mists rolled back. Looming up out of the darkness. and approaching rapidly. was the second schooner. At the same time voices hailed them. They had been seen.
 Brousseau, upon the poop. yelled in answer. And he began to run to and fro in his excitement, possessed only by the fear of death by fire.
 The flames spread. The cabin was now involved. and great column of smoke was shooting skyward carrying with fe:y spark cloud

Only one man could sail the schoon- CT through the ice. All the rest were in the woods Jean-Marie Baptiste un- derstood the coast and the currents.
 "Where is he?"
 The storekeeper shrugged his shouI- ders. He was here half an hour ago to buy more traps. but he has gone into the woods again"
 At that instant Baptiste entered the store. saw Lafe. and scowled.
 "This trap is broken" he began. holding it up for the storekeeper to view it.
 The cure bounced on him. "Baptiste, come with me Thou dost not go into the woods tonight Thou must take us aboard the schooner"
 Baptiste's jaw fell. 'Mon pere. 1t is impossible" he stammered
 Dupont has gone"
 "Gone?" cried Baptfste, running to the door.
 The cure followed him. "Baptiste, thou must sail the schooner and find him. He is mad. He has left his crew behind him and taken Leblanc and Pierre. And Mademoisere Rosny is in their hands"
 "What?" shouted Baptiste. T go. At once I go-"
 And Monsieur Askew. whom they have sworn to murder"
 q do not go," said Jean Baptiste, and stopped dead.
 The cure caught him by the arm. .Listen to me, Jean. His life and that of Maaernolselle Rosny are perhaps at stake"
 1T do not go!' cried Baptiste again, and snatched up his trap. He strode to the door and turned fe-cely upon

 Bapfiste, who had been telephoning inside tire store, came out. "Drouin ;rteF Lachance wiTF be at the wharf in fifteen minutes. Monsieur Tessier," he said.
 The cure nodded and took Baptiste by the arm. The three began to stroll toward the wharf. When they arrived at the wharf-head. however. instead of proceeding toward the schooner the cure led the way, still holding Bap- tiste, toward Dupont's cottage. Bap- tiste stopped near the door.
 Where are you taking me, Father LucienY' he asked! "I do not go there."
 And, as the cure seemed bent on proceeding inside. he wrested himself away.
 "No, mon pere" he said firmly. q have obeyed thee once tonight, but now thou askest what is beyond thy right or power. do not enter there" :"
 My son." answered the priest, since thou. hast chosen rightly to- night, tell thee now that that story was not true. It was Pierre and Le- blanc who took Marie Dupont to the island, and Monsieur Askew and Mon sieur Cornell here found her and saved her from them, and brought her home In my pocket have q letter.

 Father Lucien took Jean Baptiste by the arm and led him into the house. He closed the door gently but not before Lafe had seen Marie in Jeans arms. Lafe swore softly.
 "What's- the matter, Mir. Lafe?' asked Father Lucien.
 "Nothing," answered Lafe shortly. "T was just thinking of Shoeburyport, Mass, that's all. You wouldn't under stand. At least"
 He looked at the cure, and then it occurred to him that he was viewing him from an entirely different angle. For the first time in their acquaintance it occurred to him that Father Lucien was really a man underneath his long soutane.
 When, a few minutes late, the priest opened the door, Marie and Jean came forward with linked arms, and their expressions were transformed. Jean grasped Lafe by the hand and looked at him earnestly. but did not say a word.
 "Come now" said the cure. "The men are waiting on the wharf for us. Bon soir, Marie"
 T go with Jean" said the girl.

CHAPTER xvII-contInued


 Father Lucien had just laid dowr his s.nglestiek when q boy brought him letter in an unknown hand writing. A letter was an important event in the cures day. He put on his spectaeles, sat down, opened the en- velope, and began to read.
 It was from the priest at St Joseph, and stated that Nanette Bonnat had given him the full story of the adven- lures upon the island. together with an account of the activities of Pierre and Simeon Duval.
 Bad as Father Lucien had known conditions at Ste. Marie to be, he had never guessed at the revelations which Nanette had made to his confrere. His indignation spilled over, and he paced his study in agitation for sew .crai minutes. At last, struck with an Inspiration, he took up his singlestick, put on his cap, fur coat, and snow shoes. and started off toward Ste. Marie.
 It was about an hour later when the few loafers in Sineon's saloon looked up to see the cure standing in the doorway. Since the lumbermen had gone into camp for the winter the gtories of the dance hall had faded aud disappeared, but Simeon still did a thriving liquor business. He saw the cure and came waddling forward. nis pale blue eyes blinking with mock humility.
 Come in. father" he said suavely @We don't often see you here. What wilt you have? 4 drop of gin? A lit- tie brandy. now9 Or maybe you're looking for some of the girls to dance with?"
 The men grinned and nudged each other It is not often that one sees a scure baited.
 "Kon're sport. father,' said Sim con. What sort of stick do you call that, with knob each end?"
 T shall come to that later." an- swered the cure. Simeon, Simeon, how often have I spoken to you about tho evil that you are doing herel IL is statutory offense to sell liquor with out a license. but it is an offense against God to run this sort of place. Simeon, for the good of your soul. will you not close down this place and Head different -life?"
 The mild words and humble atti- lure of the old priest were so eolnical that nobody could conceal his amuse- ment any longer. A roar of laughter Shook the shack. Simeon yawned. S1Jl think about my soul when I'm sick he answered.
 You may be very sick at any mo- ment, Simeon. without expecting It."
 "I'll take the chances of that" an swered Simeon.
 "Simeon. I am growing tired of speaking to you. Do you know that your house is a plague-spot in this vil- Iage? Simeon. for the last time. won't you close up for good and all?"
 Al. father. you mean all right" said Simeon, but that's your job. l bet you're just as much a sport as anybody here, if only you let yourself go. Come on now, and get into a game with us"
 Simeon said Father Lucien, you were asking me about this stick. I'll show you what it's for Look !"
 Smack went the hazel knob on Sim cons head
 Simeon was so flabbergasted that lie fell back against the plank table.
