nAVE's eyes again sought the
white-bireh bars Of his prison,
and he raised the two windows SO
that the cool, sweet breath OF the
forests reached in to him. It
was then that he noticed the
1nosquito-proof screening nailed
/ outside the bars. 1t was rather
odd, this thinking of his comfort
even as they planned to kill him!
IL there was truth to this new
suspicion that Black Roger and
his mistress were plotting both,
vengeance and murder, their
plans must also involve Marie
Anne. Suddenly his mind shot
back 20 the raft. Had Black
Roger turned 81 clever coup by
leaving his wife there, while he
came on ahead Of the bateau with
Carmin Fanchet?
&c would be several weeks be-
fore the raft reached the Yellow
knife. and in that time many
things might happen. The
thought worried him. He was not
afraid for himself. Danger, the
combating Of physical forces,
was his business. His fear was
for Marie.Anne. He had seen
enough to know that Black Roger
was hope1essly infatuated with
Carmin Fauchef. And several
things might happen aboard the
raft, planned by agents as black
souled as himself. III they killed
Marie Anne
His hand gripped the knob of
the door and for q moment he was
filled with the impulse to shout
for Black Roger and face him with
what was in his. mind, And as he
stood there, every muscle In his
body ready to fight, there came
60 him family the sound OF music.
He heard the piano first, and then
q wonnanis voice singing. Soon a
mans voice Joined the woman's,
and he knew it was Black Roger
singing with Carmin Fanchet.
Suddenly the mad impulse in his

Only one thing would avail him,
and that was some object which
he might use as lever.
He looked about him, and not
a thing was there in the room to
answer the purpose. Then his

: heart went out. and he leaned his
head nearer to the crack of the
door. and strained his ears to
hear. He could make out no word
of the song, yet the singing came
to him with q thrill that set his
lips apart and brought a staring
wonder into his eyes, In the room
below him. 1,500 miles from civili-
cation, Black Roger and Carmin
Fanchet were singing Home,
Sweet Home
An hour later David looked
through one Of the barred windows
upon a world lighted by splendid
moon. He could see the dark edge
of the distant forest that trimmed
In the chateau, and about him
seemed to be a level meadow, with
here and there the shadow of a
building in which the lights were
out.
Stars were thick in the sky. and
a strange quietness lowered over
the world he looked upon. From
below him floated up now and then
a perfume OF tobacco smoke. The
guard under his window was
awake, but he made no sound.
Fitful SIumber
A little later he undressed, put
out the two lights in his room,
and stretched himself between the
cool white sheets on the couch.
After q time he slept, but 1t was
q restless slumber filled with trou-
bled dreams.
Twice he was half awake, and
-
his nostrils seensed q sharper
tang OF smoke than that of burn
ing tobacco, yet he did not fully
rouse himself, and the hours
passed, and new sounds and
pinged themselves upon him only
OF his dreams.
But at last there came a shock.
something which beat over these
things which chained him, and
seized upon his consciousness, de-
handing that he rouse himself.
open his eyes, and get up.
He obeyed the command, and
before he was fully awake, found
himself on his feet. 1t was still
dark, but he heard voices, voices
no longer subdued, but filled with
a wild note OF excitement and
command. And what he smelled
was not the smell of tobacco
smoke! It was heavy in his room.
1t filled his lungs. His eyes were
smarting with the sting Of it.
Then came vision, and with
startled cry he leaped to a win
dow. To the north and east he
looked out upon a flaming world!
There seemed to come low and
distant sound with the wind, so in
distinct that to David's ears it was
like murmur thousand miles
away. He strained his ears to
hear, and as he listened, there
came another sound-a moaning,
sobbing voice below his window!
1t was grief he heard now, some
thing that went to his heart and
held him cold and still. The voice
was sobbing like that Of a child,
yet he knew it was not a child's.
Nor was it a woman's. A figure
came out slowly in his view,
bumped over, twisted in shape, and
he recognized Andre, the Broken
Man.
David could see that he was cry
Ing like child, and he was facing
the flaming forests, with his arms
reaching out to them in his moan
ing.
Then. OF a sudden, he gave a
strange cry, as IL defiance had
taken the place Of grief, and he
hurried across the meadow and dis.

mighty breaths were playing with
them from behind.
David thrust the big end Of the
caribou horn between two of the
white birch bars, but before he
had put his weight to the lever
he heard a great voice coming
round the end Of the chateau, and
it was calling for Andre, the Bro
ken Man. In q moment it was
followed by Black Roger Aude-
mard, who ran under the window
and faced the lightning struck

shouted out for some one to, bring

was no answer from under his

log or root to help him, the task
was difficult, and 1t was quar-
ter Of an hour after he had last
seen the Broken Man before he
stood again at the window with
the caribou horn In his hands.
He no longer had to hold his
breath to hear the low moaning in
the wind, and where there had
been smoke gloom before there
were now black clouds rolling and

Plant Experimental
Plot to Potatoes
With Improved Seed

On Wednesday forenoon, w. H.
Arnold and the county Farm Bureau
agent, c. A. Day, planted an inn
proved potato seed plot by the latest
and much up-to-date method which
Is being advocated by the extension
service used by a great many far
merS for fighting certain potato dis
eases which not only injure individ-
ual plants and reduce yields. but
cause the seed to gradually run out
The seed which was used in this inn
proved seed plot was grown last year
by Mr.. Arnold in special plot and
was very carefully attended through
the season. This spring three BUSH
els of the best potatoes were select
ed from a total of SO bushels, and
in planting. each tuber was cut, the
seed dropped in a row by itself. The
seeds which were cut from the stem
end Of the tuber were planted first
and from the seed-end last, so that it
will be possible to tell from which
part of the tuber the potato plant is
grown. A space was left between the
seeds from one individual tuber and
the next.
The field will be rolled twice by
the county agent during the season.
All units which show traces of dis.
eases such as mossic, leaf roll, or
curly dwarf, will be removed. The
seed plot was planted 80 or 40 rods
from any other potatoes in order to
prevent any possibility of diseases
being transmitted from any other
field to the seed plot by potato
aphides.
Mr.. Arnold is using seed grown
from seed plot Of last year for his
entire crop and will do the same

plot. Among the men in the county
