London. Nov. 6.-England's dream

At the same time he saw another
figure Sinking away into the shadows
of the pines. Father Lucien saw II
too, and darted forward and caught II
by the arm, and drew It toward the

1t was a girl of about four and

CHAPTER lV.-ContInved.

How far could he count on them
To the last penny, perhaps. and liter
ally. Their Jobs would hold them to
him in spite of Brousseau, just so long
as their wages were forthcoming.
Probably nine-tenths of them resent
ed his presence in their country. His
victory over Black Pierre had raised
him in their estimation: they might
hate him instead of despising him. but
that was sll. He could count on the
devotion and faithfulness of perhaps
one man besides Lafe Connell-little
Baptiste.
The gang was hard at work below
the dam. strengthening the structure
OF the boom. Riviere Rocheuse, pour
ing down from the foothills of the
Laurentians. speeds with great force
through the gorge above st. Boniface,
widens opposite the settlement, and,
gathering its waters there, shoots
straight as a dart over the broken
cliff into the gulf.
If. when the jam was broken, the
pressure of the great mass of logs
proved too strong for the boom. in
stead of passing into the fiume they
would pour over the cataract into the
st. Lawrence. where their retrleval
would be impossible. Such an accl-
dent had happened on a small scale
once before. If II should happen now
the loss would end all HIlary's hopes.
he was glad Baptiste had seen this.
Hilary searched for the figure of the
little timekeeper and general utility
man, but failed TO find it.
He ascended the hill beside the rush
ing cataract. He was crossing the
waste land where the logs and tin
cans were strewn when he saw Jean
Marie. The little man was engaged In
earnest conversation with Black
Pierre behind a shed. Black Pierre
seemed TO be protesting vigorously.
The presence of the man beside Bap-
tiste came TO Hilary with a shock.
Without changing his pace he ad-
vanced toward them. in his mind re-
peating Lafe's advice over and over.
He was still inwardly quivering, yet
trying TO appear unconcerned. when
the two perceived him. Pierre turned
toward him with scowl on his
bruised face. His eyes were black
ened, and he looked the incarnation Of
Dalignancy.
He spoke to Baptiste quickly, and to
Hilary's surprise Baptiste, without ac-
knowledging his presence. walked
slowly away with him. Baptiste's
sudden departure puzzled Hilary a
good deal at the time, and much more
sfterward. = .. tls3a.,-.a

Marie Dupont.

Lsfe was as Respondent as Hilary
over Leblanc's treachery. Hilary
had only one cause for satisfaction in
the situation. and that was 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 Brons-
seau's wife; he tried to think of her
az sacrificing herself for her fathers
sake. But this picture would not hold
together; she was most evidently ac-
quainted with Brousseau's designs, and
approved of them.
On the day after the interview with
Leblanc new development occurred
Lafe, who had been grumbling all day,
came into the Office and flung down
his hat in utter detection.
Something newT' asked Hilary.
There's talk OF 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 dollars day II you would"

"We'll face that trouble when 1t de-

and II settled about Dupont. II Brous
