CHAPTER vi.
Inside the Dance Hall.

1t had been the general expectation
that Louis Duval would open his sa-
loon that evening. Hilary was aware
that Louis and two assistants were en-
gagged in carpenterlng behind the
closed door of the shanty. However,
evening came and the house remained
closed. Furthermore, there was gen.
eral exodus toward Ste. Marie, and
when the news came that Louis him
self had gone II became clear that he
had postponed his Inauguration of the
test of Hilary's authority. for reasons
known best to himself, or perhaps to
Brousseau.
Hilary came to the decision to ride
oyer to Ste. Marie that night and see
what was transpiring there. Lafe, to
whom he confided his scheme. thought
it risky, but, when he could not induce
Hilary to change it, asked permission,
TO accompany him and made him
promise to avoid trouble.
1t was about an hour after dark
when they turned up from the beach
into the main street which held the
chief dance halls. Simeon Duvaps
place was working full blast. as
were half dozen more, and Hilary
recognized numbers of his own men
en- route. Nobody appeared to notice
them. however, and they reached
Simeon's place unaccosted, and, stand

looked in.
1t was large wooden building,
within which a score of lumbermen
were dancing. mostly with one an
other; but few had women partners.
There was no pretense of secrecy in
respect of the sale of liquor. Simeon
Duval, whom Lafe indicated to Hilary.
was stoutish. middle-aged man in
shirtsleeves, with pale blue eyes and
a thin crop of reddish bair, turning
gray. He wore spectacles, which gave
him strange, scholastic expression,
and the arms beneath his upturned
sleeves were a mass of fat and muscle.

fetid air came rolling out with the to-

ing.
AS the two stood there Hilary wns
astonished TO see little Baptiste push
past them and enter. His face was
agitated. and he seemed - see .oto-
ing but his objective. He strobe
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 Mo
rie and stood before her. Hilary coui
hear nothing, but he saw the litti
timekeeper gesticulatins, and appar
emily imploring her. He saw Marie
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 angrlly.

Madeleine Rosny and Brousseau ahead
Of him. at the top Of the rise. They
seemed TO be talking earnestly. and
Hilary held back. unwilling to surprise
them. Presently he saw Brousseau
spur his horse and gallop away In the
direction Of Ste. Marie. while Made
leine came slowly toward him.
She saw him and turned her horse
aside to let him pass. She had been
crying, and there were traces OF tears
still on her cheeks. She would have
waited for him to go by, her face
averted, but Hilary placed his hand
upon the horses bride.
"Mademoiselle Rosny-" he began.
LET me 20 on" she said In a low
tone.

you are In trouble i want to help

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.

How far could he count on them 2
To the last penny, perhaps, and liter

him In spite OF Brousseau, Just so long
ms their wages were Forthcoming.
Probably nlne-tenths OF them resent
cd his presence In their country. His
victory over Black Pierre had raised
him in their estimation; they might
hate him instead OF despislng him, but
that was all. He could count on the
devotion and faithfulness OF perhaps
one man besides Lafe Connell-llttle

straight as a dart over the broken
cliff into the gulf.
II, 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 flume they
would pour over the cataract into the
st. Lawrence, where their retrieval
would be impossible. Such an acci-
dent had happened on small scale
once before. II II should happen now
the loss would end all Hilary's hopes.
He was glad Baptiste had seen this.
Hilary pearched for the figure OF the
little tImekeeper and general utility
man. but failed TO find II.
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.

afterward.

CHAPTER v.
Marie Dupont.

Lafe was as respondent as Hilary
over Leblanc's 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
80 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 10 think of her
as 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 a new development occurred.
Lafe, who had been grumbling all day,
came into the Office ana flung down
his hat In utter detection.
Something newr 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 n day II you would"
"He wants TO get into my capital,

and they're just swallowing H."
"We'll face that trouble when II de-
velops," answered Hilary.
But Hilary did some hard thinking,
and II settled about Dupont. II Brous-
seau could buy out Dupont he was
finished; he could never get lumber

She touched her horse with hef
spur. and the beast bounded away, al
most fllnging Hilary to the ground.
Her face was flaming; yet. as sho
rode, Hilary could hear her sobblns
again.
He was sure that Brousseau was
the cause of her distress. He re-
called Lafe's words to himself on the
night of their first meeting. Brous-
seau's grasping hand was stretched
forth not only on the seigniory but on
its heiress-and he vowed that the
battle between them should be fought
out on this ground also.

and the flame of n lamp. Hilary saw

shade.
II was that of Marie Dupont. the
captains daughter, and Hilary remem-
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 II
too. and darted forward and caught 1t
by the arm, and drew II toward the
beach.
II was n girl OF about four and
twenty, with a foolish. weak face and

far transcends the scope of that
class of agreements which the
Executive, acting Independently,
sometimes enters into with for
eign countries. If the Knox res
olutiOn is anything it is a treaty.
If it is a treaty it is of illeg-
itimate origin. Congress brought
it forth, perpetrated-we can
not say negotiated-it by an i'm
pudent attempt at usurpation of
an Executive function. Congress
has nothing whatever to do
with the origination of treaties
that is the Presidents bust
ness.
AS a treaty it is further viii
ated by its failure to secure
a twO-thirds vote in the Senate.
Thus irregularly projected into
the White House, the President
might ignore it as a thing un-
known to the law and the Con-
stitution. Necessarily he will
withhold his approval.
