 Lafe, who understood hardly word of this colloQuy. caught Il 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." 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 1t be there 1 would have killed him. only they pulled me away"
 Tt Is thy duty, my son. said the cure quietly. ''lt Is n hard test, Jean. but when God calls a 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.

 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-"
 Jean Baptiste stood like statue. He hung his head. muttering. Then, slow ly, he raised 1t and smiled into the cures face.
 Enough, then. go," he said gravely.
 Well, I'm darned!" exclaimed Lafe. Say, father, why didn't you tell him it wasn't true. that story?'
 The cure smiled whimsically and laid his hand on Lafe's shoulder. "Ah, Mir. Lafe," lie answered, 'when exercise will cure paralyzed limb. we do not use the crutch."
 Lafe stared at him. And slowly he began to understand. Father Lucien's

Out of the darkness little light be- gan to glow. It shone and sparkled. and suddenly raced skyward. disclos- ing the outlines of the schooner stranded upon the edge of the ice field
 Baptiste drove his vessel straight toward 1t. running upon the gale The little group upon the deck watched in terror as the flames spread. until 1t could be seen that they enwrapped the entire fore part of pupont's 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 ice-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 endeavoring 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. earrying with a fiery spark cloud.
 Dupon came out of the smoke. his face allght with fanatic madness. He caught him by the arm.
 See the fine fire P he shouted. He won't get out of that in hurry. told her that would give her his lNe for the name. but I have not got the name. The name! What Is ih? The name''
 His voice rang out across the heav- Ing water. and. as he called. Baptiste swung down the wheel. and the second ship glided alongside and passed.

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 shoul- 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 1t.
 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 Baptiste. 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 Mademoiselle Rosny is in their hands"
 'What?" shouted Baptiste. "I go. At once I go-"
 And Monsieur Askew, whom they have sworn to murder-'
 'I do not gd," said Jean Baptiste. and stopped dead.
 The cure caught him by the arm. Listen to me, Jean. His life and that of Mademoiselle Rosny are perhaps at stake"
 ''I do not go!" cried Baptiste again. and snatched up his trap. He strode to the door and turned fie.cely upon

As for the cure. he seemed transfig- ured. Holding the singlestick in the middle, he twirled it until it looked like knobby streak of light, while he pirouetted like dervish.
 In reality he was going through the important foot exercise marked com hination Q; but nobody knew that.
 Come on. Simeon" said Father Lu- cien. flicklng him across the nose, which instantly became ensanguined.

Go on and bless the cabbages. Go on praying out fires. Go on, go on! You've got the knack somehow--only Tm--I'm jnged if see how you do it till it's all overw Baptiste, who had been telephoning inside the store, came out. "Drouin and Lachance will 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 Duponts cottage. Bap- tiste stopped near the door.
 "Where are you taking me. Father Lucien?" 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. "1 have obeyed thee once tonight, but now thou askest what is beyond thy right or power. do not enter there"
 "Nly son." answered the priest, "since thou hast chosen rightly to- night, l 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 Connell here found her and saved her from them, and brought her home. In my pocket l have q letter. Tomorrow thou shalt read 1t and un- derstand."
 "Mon perew stammered Baptiste. and began to tremble.
 Learn it from her lips"
 "Mon pere. l do not go inside that house. If it is true, l am not worthy. Besides, she hates me, and -"
 Still holding his arm the cure opened the door. Marie Dupont" he called.
 The giri stumbled toward the door. saw BapUSte at me cure Slue, dilu uttered a frightened cry.
 Father Lucien took Jean Baptiste by the arm and led him into the house. He closed the door gently, but not before Lhfe had seen Marie in Jeans arms. Lafe swore softly.
 What's the matter, MT. LafeF asked Father Lucien.
 Nothing" answered Lafe shortly. "I was just thinking of Shoeburyport, Mass, that's all. You wouldn't under stand. At least-"
 He looked nt the cure and then 1t occurred to him that he was viewing him from an entirely different angle. For the first time in their acquaintance 1t occurred to him that Father Lucien was really man underneath his long soutane.
 When. q 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 word.
 "Come now" said the cure. "The men are waiting on the wharf for us. Bon sor. Marie."
 "I go with Jean." said the girl.

CHAPTER xVIl-Continued

Father Lucien had just laid down his singlestick when a boy brought him letter in an unknown hand writing. A letter was an important event in the cures day. He put on his spectacleS, 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 sev- eral 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 Sineons saloon looked up to see the cure standing in the doorway. Since the lumbermen had gone into camp for the winter the glories of the dance hall had faded and disappeared, but Simeon still did a thriving liquor business. He saw the cure and came waddling forward, his pale blue eyes blinking with mock humility.
 Come in, father" he said suavely. We don't often see you here What will you have? drop of gin? A lit tie brandy. now' 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 cure baited.
 You'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 tn" evil that you are doing here! It is a statutory offense to sell liquor with out license. but it is an offense against God to ruh this sort of place. Simeon, for the good of your soul. will you not close down this place and lead different lfe?"
 The mild words and humble atti- ture of the old priest were so comical that nobody could conceal his amuse- ment any longer. A roar of laughter shook the shack. Simeon yawned.
 'l'll think about my soul when I'm sick" he answered.
 You may be very sick at any mo- ment, Simeon, without expecting it.
 "rll take the chances of that" an swered Simeon.
 "Simeon, I am growing tired of speaking to you. Do you know that your house is plague-spot in this vil- lage? Simeon, for the last time. won't you close up for good and all?"
 "Ah, father. you mean all right" said Simeon, but that's your job. 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 he fell back against the plank table.

Tilt Regarding Area
For National Park Is
Aired Before Congress

Washington, Feb. IA dispute
between the agriculture and interior
departments and other interests
over boundaries for the proposed
Roosevelt National park in the giant
redwood district OF California was
aired today before the house public
lands committee.
Secretaries Meridith and Lana
sent letters favoring establishment
of the park, but expressing Disagree
ment over boundary lines fixed, ID

publican. California. Mr.. Meridith
objected to inclusion in the park of
national forest lands under his de-
partment's supervision, which ara
needed, he said, for timber and graz
ing purposes and are not necessary
to the parks scenic splendors.
Witnesses before the committee,
including Representatives of the

merce, the Visalia, Cal, board of
trade, and the Sierra club, also rec
commended limitation OF boundaries
to exclude commercial timber and
grazing lands.

PRIMARY RECEIPTS AND SHIPMENTS.
Chicago Grain and Provisions.

Chicago, Feb 24.-Belief that the cost
of the winter crop movement was repre-
sented BY today's, receipts did a good
deal to bring about sharp upturn today
In the value of corn. The market, not
withstanding weakness at the outset,
closed strong. 2s 04No net higher. with
May, $1S4@1.34M and July $3.50 01.S0%.
Oats gained 1ss @1&c to 2Ac. In provi-
sions the outcome ranged from Nc de-
cline to Csc advance.
Spectators who in the beginning Of
the session sold corn heavily on account
of weakness in sterling exchange and
owing to lower quotations on hogs we're
soon forced to cover on rising market.
Initial declines were moro than wiped out
when it was seen that the total Of fresh
supplies arriving was not nearly so large
as many traders expected. In this con-
nection gossip spread that even II prices
were satisfactory to the producer it was
now too late in the winter to get much
more grain into country stations from the
farms. Furthermore. buliish sentiment
was increased by active demand on the
Part of shippers. some Of whom. it was
said, wanted cars more than corn.
Oats advanced with corn.
In provisions the renewed strength of
grain finally outwelghed the weakness of
sterling and hogs,
