Mark Refuses a
Tempting Offer

Mark felt something like stab at
his heart as he looked into the law
yer's face. He had guessed it; but
that didn't make it any the easier
to take.
"You see, Mr.. Darrell" Brous-
sac went on, "we want the rights
back, rights that were leased to you
under rather desperate financial
circumstances. At first, when you
refused my offer, ! thought you
were bluffing, in the American way.
But no longer think you were bluff
ing. / think you are an obstinate
young man. Mr.. Darrell, I want
you to leave St. Victor. And have
come to make you another offer.
Fifteen thousand dollars, plus the
proceeds from the sale of that lum-
ber."
Mark shook his head. Frankly,
no." he answered. "My hackers
have authorized me to 60 ahead.
They would not understand any
such arrangement, and they would
withdraw their support from me.
No, Monsieur Broussac, am
not prepared to accept your offer
or any other.'
Broussac's mouth opened. He

stared, then nodded his head grave
ly, rose, and went back to his rig.
In another minute he was driving
furiously back toward st. Victor.
Mark left Nat to take charge Of
the operations. He packed a blan-
ket and little food, and started out
alone to look over his limits, with
the intention of spending night or
two in the open.
Mark wondered whether Brous-
sac's explanation of his motives was
actually true. And then he discov-
cred that he wasn't thinking about
that. He was thinking about Brous-
sac's declared intention of marry
ing Madeleine Kinross, his enemy,
who had nevertheless saved his lum-
ber for him.
Barely sixteen when she married
Kinross, haf-an-hour before the
seigneur sailed to his death aboard
his sealing-schoonerl
Mark remembered the white face
she had turned upon him when he
staggered ashore, after Louis had
pulled him out of the foaMing
water. "I'm gladl I'm gladi"she
had cried.
Then Mark had known he loved
her. But unconsciously he had
known it from the first night, when
he saw her big, gray eyes fixed
upon his in anger.
Mark hadn't thought much about
love for three or four years. OF

Why Madeleine Believes
Her Husband Still Lives

Meanwhile" said Mark, indi-
eating his decision with a very Wig
orous gesture of his fists.
Broussac leaped into his rig and
slapped the reins across the back
of the horse, which started off up the
hill.
Mark watched the lawyer drive
away, turned back toward Made
leine Kinross, who was staring at
him with frightened eyes. "I'm sor-
ry," he said grimly, "but I seem
to have come at an appropriate
time"
"He made love to me. He want
ed me to be his wife. And I had
trusted him."
"I've got to admit" said Mark,
81 can't altogether blame him for
that"
"You don't understand. This
summer, he threatened me that I
should lose everything I have"

asked Mark.

"He gave me nothing. Everything

ulating on the Quebec market. Ever
since his death, Horace Broussac
has been trying to regain what my
husband lost. You see, he is not
dead!"
Mark looked at her in silence.
"If he had died I should have
felt it here-here! He is not dead.
He was rescued from that ice-foe,
he became insane, and he is being
cared for somewhere"
Mark was stil silent.

Madeleine Tells Cousin
BrOussac to Get Out

Suddenly again the remembrance
Of Madeleine Kinross flooded him
with tenderness. The idea came to
Mark to 60 and see the girl, and
try to make his peace with her.
There was no doubt that she was
influenced by Broussac. And his
own tenure of the seigniory lands
would be but for four or five years,
during which she would be getting
stumpage money from him. There
wasn't any reason for the opposition
she had shown him.
II he could make his peace with
her, that would mean the end of the
fight with Broussac.
That was the nature Of Marks
reasoning. Actually-well, he knew
he just wanted to see the girl again.
He made his way along the trail
toward the rock bridge and down the
roughly terraced steps toward the
lighthouse and Madeleine's cottage.
Then a roughly dressed figure
emerged from the scrub and stood
confronting him, an ancient pistol
in its hand. It was Andre Cali
peault, the lighthouse-keeper, his
face convulsed with fury.
"You do not come herel You go
backl Nobody wants you here!"
the old man shouted.
Suppose you tell me what's the
matter" Mark suggested.
'You 60, you spy, you Quebec
detective. r The seigneur is dead.
He died in the fog, when the piece

course, he had gone through his
experiences, but the woods had be-
come an absorbing passion with
him, the desire to tame the wilds,
as horseman tames some wild
steed. All his suppressed instincts
had come flooding back when she
cried, "I'm glad! I'm glad!"
At nightfall, in the warm spring
evening, Mark laid down his blan-
ket under big spruce and curled
up in it. In few minutes he was
asleep, not dreaming even of Made
leine Kinross.
He awoke at dawn, stretched him
self, and realized how good life was,
and how petty were the things that
had been troubling him.
He built fire, cooked a few strips
of bacon, made tea and ate the
stale bread that he had brought with
him. Afterward he ascended a
slope above him to get his bear
ings.
The river ran on his right, foam
ing down to the flume. On his left,
to his surprise, he saw the natural
bridge that connected the seigniory
with the all-but-island on which
stood the lighthouse. And beyond
this, through a dense growth of
trees, Mark could see the slender
shaft of the lighthouse, on it's base
of rocks.

CHAPTER v

''Tell them they made mistake"
he said. "I'm not going to reward
them for making mistake. Next
fall, when the work begins in
earnest, l may consider a fifty
cents raise. If they come back
now, they come back at two dollars"
Louis interpreted rapidly.
eff they want to come back"
Mark continued, "tell them they can
move back into their cabins as soon
as possible, and get that load OF
lumber put through the mill"
But the men understood. Grins of
gratitude had supplanted the looks
of shame and eagerness. Louis
marshalled his men to form them
in column and march them away
again-Louis had once been cor
poral in France.
Nat said, as he watched the de-
parting crowd, 81 didn't think you'd
put that across, Mark"
81 had a hunch that money was
going to talk, even with Broussac
here" said Mark. II guess he'll
be on the job soon."
''Would you sell if he made you
a real offer?"
Mark shook his head. "I'm here
to stay" he answered. And then he
knew that he was thinking of Made
leine Kinross.
Broussac didn't delay. He came
next morning, driving up in a
rig with spirited horse. In the
mill the dynamos were revolving,
the barkers whirring, the chain
drag travelling up the aume, carry
ing its load of logs. Pikemen, stand
ing on the RATS, were spear
ing the logs and attaching them to
the mechanism that started them
on their journey millward.
Broussac got out of his rig and
came forward, hand outstretched.
Mark hesitated an instant, and then
took it again. The lawyer entered
the office and dropped into chair.
He looked at Mark with cynical
,smile upon his lips.
"You appear to have won, Mr..
DARRELL" he said.
''My understanding was that there
would be no opposition from you,"
said Mark.
Violence" corrected Broussac.
''I guaranteed that st. Victor should
treat you with the consideration due
to you. l should make it plain
to you that it is not my own opposi-
ton you had to encounter, but that of
the whole town, which is loyal to the
wife of it's late seigneur."
Mark, sitting silent, looked into
the keen, intelligent face of the law
yer. Broussac had come to make
some offer, of course. But why?
What was the element behind his
opposition that Mark didn't under
stand?
81 want to ask you question"
said Broussac. "Just why do you
attach so much value to your lease
hold rights, if adequate compensa-
ton for them were allowed your"
81 might ask you," Mark re-
turned, "why you attach so much
importance to getting me out of st.
Victor. But am not going to ask
you that question. prefer to an
swer yours. I have undertaken a
job, and I have liking for staying
on it, Monsieur Broussac."
"Ah," said Broussac, "I thought
you Americans regarded everything
from the monetary point of view.
But let me make my own position
clearer. I was raised, poor boy,
in the slums of Quebec. All my
life I have sought position, wealth,
ease, a settled place in the world.
I have gained these, for I am going

on IL. l protect the lady OF the
seigneur!"
He leveled the old pistol at Marks
heart. Mark saw his finger trem-
bling upon the trigger, and leaped.
There followed the roar of the dis
charge, and the heavy ball whirred
over Marks shoulder. Mark tore
the weapon from the old mans
hands and sent it crashing into the
scrub.
You are an old fool, Andre" he
said. IF you had killed me, you'd
have swung by the neck in Quebec
jail"
Old Andres face was convulsed
with terror. "Ah, mon Dieul" he
muttered. "The seigneur is dead,
and you-you come here Toto"
Mark passed on, leaving the old
man muttering by the roadside. The
cause of his hostility was utterly
meaningless to him, but it made it
the more imperative to try to come
to an understanding with Madeleine
Kinross.
Broussac's smart rig was stand
ing at the door of her cottage. Brous-
sac and Madeleine were standing
in the doorway. They were so alb
sorbed in conversation that neither
was aware of Marks approach.
"You married Kinross in order
to save your fathers little proper
ty," came Broussac's taunting
voice. "Now you can marry me,
to save the seigniory."
II tell you no, no, mol" cried
the girl. "a thousand times no,
neverl I trusted you as my guardi-
an, because you were related to the
seigneur, and now you come to me
like this. :" f-
Broussac's hands shot forth and
caught the girls wrists. You're
all wrong, Madeleine" he said in a
taunting voice. you're going to
marry me this summerl"
The crunch of Marks feet upon
the gravel before the door startled
them. Broussac let Madeleine's
hands fall, and swung about. For a
moment his face was devilish in it's
sneer of hate and malice.
"I'm sorry to interfere" said
Mark. II called to see Madame
Kinross."
1T might occur to you that Ma
dame Kinross and I have some inn
portant business to discuss"
sneered Broussac.
"No!" cried the girl. II have
nothing more to discuss with you,
Cousin Horace. I ask you to gol"
"Then 1 guess I'm not interfering
as much as / thought I might be-"
said Mark.
Broussac whirled upon him.
"You have done nothing but inter-
fere," he shouted. "You are not
wanted in St. Victor. l have offered
you good sum of money to rescind
the contract. l shall not 60 any
higher. Now you are interfering in
wholly private matter concerning
Madame Kinross and myself. You
will go! You will go at oncel"
shouted the lawyer.
"Of course I'd co." said Mark,
"only I've got an idea that Madame
Kinross doesn't want you."
"And that is true!" cried the girl.
II am through, Cousin Horace. You
can do anything you please. only
ask that you will go.'
"Then you see it is you who will

"And at once, pleased"
Broussac lost all control of him
self. He shook his fist in Marks
face. "You order me away?" he
shouted. "You interloper! You will
regret that you ever set foot in St.
Victor! You will be fortunate if
you escape from it alive"

Bogie's Favorite
Is Ham And Eggs

HOLLYWOOD - Humphrey
Bogart has a standing order with
a cafe across the street from Co.
lumbia Studios, where he is
making Dead Reckoning" for
a daily luncheon serving of ham
and eggs with vegetable salad
a menu from which he never
deviates.
The other day the actor chang
ed his instructions-just for the
day. The same food, exactly, but
only half portions.
The cafe manager solicitously
inquired if they had been serv-
ing him too much.
No, it wasn't that, the actor
explained. 1t was just that his
wife, Lauren Bacall, as a special
treat, was making him dinner at
home that night and he didn't
want to overdo at lunch. What
was she preparing? Ham and
eggs with vegetable salad.
