CHAPTER I

About the clear, deep waters Of
Lake Superior. and bounding the
northern sands Of Michigan. lies a
realm of forest and of heights, rugged.
wild. alluring-rich in copper and iron
as are few other regions of the world.
Kingdoms, which won wide influence,
have owned far meaner materials of
power; empire has warred with en-
pire for stakes half as great.
Here and there, where something
had happened-for good or for evil
which a man might never forget, the
ghosts drew back the living.
At least men thus explained the re-
turn of Lucas Cullen to st. Florentin.
Lucas, the younger of the two Cullen
brothers, in 1896 suddenly appeared
and, upon the site of the cabin where
he and his wife lived when they found
ed St Florentin and bossed the men
building the first sawmill, he caused
a new, enormous dwelling to be erect
ed.
Lucas called this summer cottage;
and made it famous by bringing there
for the summer the French nobleman,
the Marquis de Chenal. "a friend of
my daughter Cecilia" The Marquis
so we'll liked Cecilia and liked the
place-not to mention Lucas Cullen's
millions that he remained at st. Flor
entin all summer.
He married Cecilia that winter and
took her-together with a million or
so of Michigan forest money-to his
chateau in Touraine; and neither of
them ever returned to the peninsula
But Lucas and his wife and their
younger daughter and their two sons
came the next year; then Deborah
married a westerner and moved to
Wyoming. Junior" Lucas and his
brother John also married, and their
wives preferred the more fashionable
resorts of the east for the next sum
mers.
So, at the turn Of the century, old
Lucas and his wife, were coming alone
to the enormous frame house on the
edge Of the ruined old mill town above
the shores OF Lake Huron.
The real reason for Lucas retreat
from Chicago was his break with his
brother John. They had always quar-
relied; but now they ceased to speak.
and the same streets could not hold
both.
The purpose Of the builder Of the
other great house near St. Florentin
was far more puzzling. The site was
upon a tiny island in Lake Huron,
half a mile from shore, a rocky, pre-
cipitous islet locally known as Resur-
rectiOn Rock

In the summer of 1912 barges ap'
peared and anchored in the smooth
water between Resurrection Rock
and the shore; artisans of dozen
trades lived upon the barges while
they erected a large, handsome house
chimneyed, wide Of roof, graceful and
pleasing.
But no master of the mansion ap
peared. Instead, the newly completed
house was closed; doors locked and
barred, windows soundly suffered. A
white farmer, who lived a mile or SO
away, upon the opposite mainland
, was entrusted with the keys and was
paid to inspect the premises period
ically. Yes; it was an ordinary enough
house. he reported.
But, after a few. inspections alone
he always took some one with him.
Speculation and wonder in the neigh
borhood soon took weird and fantastic
forms. Poor, pious people ceased to
approach.
At first, old Lucas Cullen laughed
at the stories; but as time went on,
they began to affect him.
The thing obsesscd him. He was
an old man now, over 10, but hardy
and strong, clear of eye, steady of
hand. vindictive and merciless yet to
all who opposed him. In all his long
violent life, no one-and nothing-was
known to have shaken him until some
one, without reason. raised that house
on the islet locally known as Resur
rection Rock.
