consciousness. After that, his
thoughts flew to his throat every
time he began reading and that
started a peculiar feeling in his
throat that called for relief.

would have left it off much more
quickly"
Almost every child has some
one particular mannerism that
gives his parents concern. And
as a rule they harp on that sub
ject, constantly reminding him of
his shortcoming. The wisest way
Is to avoid any reference to the
fault. Invent little schemes to
direct his activities and thoughts
in the opposite direction. Act as
though the child had never heard
of that special fault and keep him
interested in something else. AL

st. Pierre's eyes widened, and
for a breath or two he stared at
Carrigan, as If looking into him
and not at him. His big hands
relaxed, and slowly the panther
like readiness went out OF his
body. Those who looked beheld
the transformation in amazement,

VET David scarcely noticed him,
= He met st. Pierre, faced him,
and stopped-and he had gone
swiftly to this meeting. so that the
chief of the BouIains was within
earshot of all his men.
st. Pierre was smiling. He held
out his hand as he had held it out
once before in the bateau cabin,
and his big voice doomed out
greeting.
Carrigan did not answer. nor
did he :ook at the extended hand.
For an instant the eyes Of the
two men met. and then, swift as
lightning. Carrigan's arm shot out
and with the flat of his hand he
struck st. Pierre a terrific blow
equareIy on the cheek.
The sound of the blow was like
the smash of paddle on smooth
water. Not riverman but heard
AZ. and as st. Pierre staggered
back, flung almost from his feet
by its force, a subdued cry Of
amazement broke from the wait
ing men. Concombre Bateese stood
like one stupefied.
And then, in another flash, ST.
Pierre had caught himself and
whirled like wild beast. Every
muscle in his body was drawn for
a gigantic, overwhelming leap; his
eyes blazed; the fury of beast
was in his face. Before all his
people he had suffered the dead
Hest insult that could be offered a
man OF the Three Rivers Coun-
try-a blow struck with the flat
OF an0ther's hand Anything else
one might forgive, but not that.
Such a blow. If not avenged, was
a brand that passed down into
the second aid third generations,
aad even children would call out
yellow Back-Yeilow Back, to
the one who was coward enough
Go receive it without resentment.
"a rumbling grow1 rose in the
throat OF Concombre Bateese in
that moment when it seemed as
though st. Pierre Bouiain was
about to kill the man who had
struck him. He saw the promise
of his own fight gone in flash.
For no man in all the Northland
could now fight David Carrigan
ahead of st. Pierre.
David waited. prepared to meet
the rush of mailman. And then,
gor~ a second time, he saw
mighty struggle in the soul of st.
Pierre. The giant held himself

face, but his great hands remained

tried to smile. and in that same
instant David caught a grin cut
ting a great slash across the face
of Concombre Bateese.
The change that came over st.
Pierre now was swift as sun
light coming out from shadow
ing cloud. A rumble grew in his
great chest. It broke in a low
note Of laughter from his lips,
and he faced the bateau across
the river.
