CHAPTER XIV.
Lase Takes a Hand.

Lafe was surprised to feel the bitter
tang of the air when he left the mill
office. 1t was going to be winter now,
he reflected. and, if Hilary could be
held only three days, there could be
no question of an immediate journey
to Quebec.
Reaching the waste of open ground
before the Chateau. he saw that a
sleigh had been there that day; pos
sibly it was in the stables now, He
rang the bell, nodded to Robitallle,
who opened the door, disregarded his
incomprehensible address, which
seemed to negative Lafes wish to en-
ter, and went by instinct into the liv-
ing room at the end of the hall for the
first time in his life.
: He tapped at the door, but there
came no answer. He Knocked more
loudly, and went In without waiting
for any. He discovered the Seigneur
in big leather chair before the huge,
glowing fire, Madeleine standing be-
side him and Edouard Brousseau
short distance away. There was an
atmosphere Of Immediate constraint,
as if Lafe's appearance had interrupt
ed tense interview. Lafe sensed II,
but he did not care. He could hardly
believe his luck. He had wanted
Brousseau there badly, but he had not
hoped TO meet him.
Brousseau was the first to speak.
He may have guessed the nature of
Lafe's errand from Lafe's attitude,
though not its fullness. He scowled.

In q sneering tone to Monsieur Rosny.

Madeleine raised her eyes and Lafe
read in them the same intuition that
was in Brousseau's, and also her chal-
lenge. She was arming to oppose him
In his fight for Hilary, she was prepar-
ing to fight against all that she held
dearest, for the sake of the swindler
across the room. Lafe admired her
courage, but this he had expected.

he said.
Don't let that trouble you. I speak
for Monsieur ROsny," answered Brous-
seau.
you'll hear for him, too, then," re-
torted Lafe. "Mr. Rosny, that man Is
a liar, a thief and a swindling rogue.
That's what I've come to prove"
Brouseau started forward, his face
pale with rage. AS he placed himself
In fighting attitude Lafe calmly as
sumed that of defense, the left fist
ready, the right arm across his chest,

tated, and his moment passed.
The Seigneur's face grew dark with
anger, mo man can say such things
of a guest Of mine," he cried, and
grlpped the arms of his chair as If try
ing to rise. Madeleine bent over him
and restrained him. Her face was
flushed with resentment.
Il told you my business was with
you, Mr.. Rosny," said Lafe, unper-
turbed. II amt speaking to him. God
knows I don't want to speak to him,
He says he's speaking for you, so let
him speak to this. He's swindled the
st. Boniface lumber company out Of
eighty thousand dollars, so far as
we've learned yet, and maybe more.
But guess he's heard enough. / got

speaking for you. You amt In on this
deal, Mr.. Rosny. And nov I've ante'd,"
he ended def1antly.
Madeleine came forward quietly.
"You can go, Mr.. Connell," she said in
voice vibrant with restrained anger.

seau to be Insulted, here or anywhere.
Your conduct Is intolerable. Leave In

Chicago Has Not
 Experienced Any
 Theatrical Slump
TRepubIIcan A. p. Leased WIre1

CHICAGO. Dec 1.-The theatrical slump anticipated as being coincident with the general industrial letup, has failed to reach Chicago. A very shght falling off in attendance has been not ed during the past few days. but man agers say it is no more than usual each year as the holiday season ap- breaches.
 Five loop theaters have broken all house records during the past few weeks according to their managers, and in two of the five, drama is the offering, while a third is presenting light opera. The other two are musi- cal shows
 Three new legitimate theaters are under construction together with two big picture houses, the investment in
 which is as great as in any of the theaters housing spoken attractions ! With the completion of the new houses theatrical men say Chicago 1 will take it's place as producing center.
 That there is no limit in the prices 1 which can be charged was indicated recently when the manager of on' house which has never housed any l thing but musical shows announced 1 that he had booked a moving picture i for an indefinite run, with seats selling at s10 on the opening night. 1 The same day another manager an 1 nounced plans for a series of concrete by noted artists; with seats selling al | 50 cents.

Keep From Skidding
 By Using Mercury

Among the many ideas that have been concocted with a view toward avoiding accidents on slippery pave ments and reducing skidding to a minimum. here is the latest all ready to be tested. It is based on New toms principles of inertia and the re- action of opposing forces
 All the appliance consists of is a pipe fitted over the rear axle from wheel to wheel Its ends are turned outward. V-shaped, and sealed tight by plates of steel. The pipe is half filled with mercury
 When the automobile is moving straight ahead, the mercury will be maintaining an approximate level in the pipe. But as soon as the car skids, the comparative inertia of the heavy liquid metal will tend to react against the force that throws the car to the side. In this way, the mercurys opposing force would keep l the machine from skidding as far as il would if that force were not there. | The diagram shows how this would work. Without the appliance, let Us say the car would skid from A to E | With the appliance, the reaction oi the mercury would keep the slSidding down 10 from A to c.
 Although it would not prevent skidding altogether, the mercury pipe would reduce the side swing of the cal and thereby make riding on slippery roads less dangerous.

ALL-YEAR TERM FOR SCHOOL

ALE- v FAX IEHM FOR SCHOOL
 Ohio State University is about to take its place as a year-round college and beginning next fall four terms a year will be the rule. This, in essence, is the system which has long been in successful operation at the University of Chicago and which enables diligent and ambitious students to complete their college courses in three years of four terms each instead of In the cus- tomary four years.
 The news reports from Ohio State do not suggest the reason for this change. The year-round college has, however, been generally credited with getting students into professional or business life at an earlier age. In particular has 10 held out attractions to those men who aim to become lawyers or doctors and who are glad of the opportunity to shorten the period of preparation even if they do have to go without the usual summer vacations.
 Under present conditions the 4-term system should make a peculiar appeal. All the colleges are besieged by stu dents and hard put to it to find room for the men and women seeking admis- sion and qualified to receive it. By keeping classes in session the year round it will be possible to make tho same accommodations serve an enroll ment anywhere from 20 to f5 per cent larger than the present one.-From the Boston Transcript

Essex Brings Women

 OUer Lincoln Route

Feariessness? No. just common sense" said Mrs. A. c. Pierce modestlv the other day when she and Mrs. I. P. Cook were credited by their friends with being two most fearless women.
 These two ladies have just toured in an Essex via the Lincoln highway through blizzards, over heavily snow banked grades, and adobe mud roads from Hamilton, New Jersey, the country home of Mrs. Pierce, to the Pacific coast.
 T think we do not fear danger more than the average man." con- tinued Mrs. Pierce, but with our Essex touring car there was really nothing to fear. Without a depend able car. I admit, there would have been many tight places Time after time we pulled through mud to the hub-caps. l bought this Essex be- cause of it's wonderful cross- country records, and it surely lived up to its reputation. I think it is the only car Tor rough driving"
 On this trip of 5,56S miles including Side trips. Mrs. Cook and Mrs Pierce had many thrilling adventures and they both are of the opinion that one why to enjoy life is to take a motor car with ability to stick-t to-it and really perform. Men start out to visit ones friends throughout the country.
