Brousseau dashed through and along
the corridor. Lafe followed him at an

for him. He pulled the front door
open and slammed 1t behind him.
When Lafe reached It Brousseau was
already dragging his horse, already
harnessed to his sleigh. out of the sta

Lafe watched him drive away and
turned back into the hall. He hesitat-

rang the bell. nodded to Robitaille,
who opened the door. dlsregarded his
incomprehensible address, which
seemed to negative Lafe's wish to en-

first time 'ip his life.
He tapped at the door, but there
came no answer. He knocked more

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.
"It's the man from the MILL" he said
In a 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-

courage, but this he had expected.
