her kind she was below normal men
taity. When her lover, who had
brought her to Ste. Marie, abandoned
her, she worked in large and cheap
lumbermen's summer clearinghouse.
Pierre promised her that the man
would return to her if she obeyed him.
She met Marie upon the beach. and
insinuated herself into her confidence.
AT last she took her to Simeon's dance
hall.
The lights. the dancing and the
music were a revelation to her. On
the first night she cried from happi-
ness. Wholly ignorant of life. her in
nOcence protected her and sealed her
consciousness. And Simeon's place
was better in the early summer
of that year than afterward. and some
of the lumbermen would bring their
sweethearts there.
The girls Innocence found an ally
in the lumbern,en, who protected her,
and she was, in fact. as safe there. as

at him curiously. He had several times
noticed a certain furtiveness in their
regard, but had each time ascribed il
to imagination and dismissed the mat
ter. He did so again. He was walk
ing back when he saw a boy outside
the office
Captain Dupont says he is ready to
sail, monsieur" he said.
"Tell him I'm coming down to speak
to him." said Hilary.
He went toward the wharf. Dupont
was talking to Baptiste. AS he APP
preached, Hilary saw the two cease
their conversation and look at him.
Then Baptiste walked slowly away to-
ward his vessel. Dupont, who had
just received the message from the
boy. stood motionless where he had
been, waiting.
Hilary became suddenly conscious of
an atmosphere of hatred When he
reached Dupont the old man eyed him
with the same searching and malignant
stare that he had given him on the &C.
casion of their first encounter. But
now the eyes that blazed a foot from
his own did not relax their gaze. There
was a menace there, immediate and
hostile, though the face was immobile.
1t flashed through Hilary's mind that
the old man was mad, that his long
brooding had at last broken the fragile
| vessel Of the mind.
L
Disregarding the captains look,
Hilary explained briefly the matter on
| which he had come All the while
he spoke Dupont continued eyeing him.
Hilary began to feel uneasy. "Weli,
is that clear? he inquired.
'That much is clear" answered Du-
pont reluctantly.
"Well, what's the matter, them" de-
manded Hilary sharply.
Suddenly he perceived that the old
| mans face was twisted with passion.
His expression was so fanatical that
Hilary thought he was going to attack
| him.
But then the face resumed its mask
! again. Without word, Dupont
swung onto the ship and left him.
/ Baptiste's vessel was moored next
to the wharf. AS Dupont crossed it
to reach his own, Hilary saw Baptiste
on deck, bending over a tarpaulin.
The two men did not speak, and
Hilary, moved by sudden impulse,
walked the length of the wharf and
accosted the little Frenchman.
"Baptiste," he said, "some time ago
/ told you / didn't know whether you
had any knowledge about the cutting
| of my boom or not. l want to say Tn
sorry. know that you had none, and
/ shouldn't have spoken as did"
And he put out his hand.
Baptiste looked up. The little mans
face was like a thundercloud. He
clenched and unclenched his fists
fiercely, muttering. Then he dashed
Hilary's hand aside with his.
Il d0n't shake hands with you'll" he
cried. and the tears began to stream
