CHAPTER VIII

The smoke cloud had blotted out
the mist. A little, anxious group
had gathered about Nat Page at
the mill, looking northward toward
it. Now and again flashes of lurid
fire could be seen in the midst Of
the curling smoke, that was begin
ming to obscure the stars in the
night sky.
''The whole deck is afire," said
one of the lumberjacks. "It will
take in Monsieur barrels cabin"
"But he could not have been
asleep. He must have escaped in
time" said another.
They peered anxiously across the
dark terrain, but by now the smoke
was rolling toward them, blot
ting out all sight Of anything.
Nat Page spoke sharply: "Get all
the men you can, with axes. Mr..
Darrell may have been trapped in
his cabin. It's up to US to get him
out"
Within five minutes, twenty-five
men were streaming across the ter
ram. AT nrSt they poured along the
trail under sky of binding smoke.
Then the heat of the fire began to
reach them. Little rillets of fire
ran through the underbrush on Ell
ther side of them. And the cabin
was still far away, in the heart Of
the dense, yellow s1noke-cloud that
was pouring toward them.
Monsieur, if he is in his cabin,
we are too late"
''We'n try"
Nat led the way. The smoke was
almost intolerable now, the lum-
bermen gasped and choked as
they faced the turbid, yellow
clouds. And now they were ap-
preaching the district of the fire.
On either side of the runway, wisps
of fame were racing through the
scrub, and, in front of them was
a solid roaring wall of fire, eat
ing up the trees, and roaring to-
ward the neck and the natural
bridge.

"Mon seigneur, we are poor men.
There was nothing that we could

knew that Horace Broussac had
raised that money for you, but we
were not sure whether he sent it
to you, after he became guardian
Of Madame Kinross."
Guardian" Eric Kinross set
his back against the door. "Go on.
You anuse me-" he said. ''My
lands-Horace Broussac, my dear
kinsman Horace, has perhaps sold
them?"
''No, mon seigneur, but he has
leased a strip to an American, a
Monsieur Darrell, who is operat-
ing the mill that Horace Broussac
set up"
''Name of a dog, where is he?"
"He is dead" snickered Hector
Macintosh. "He died in that fire
that is raging along the lighthouse
neck. You see, Horace Broussac
persuaded Andre Galipeault that
this Monsieur Darrell was a spy,

in France. We knew better, but
Andre is a very ignorant man."

Another hoarse peal Of laughter

ing the two men looking at one an
other IN terror.

Broussac Dashes
To His Yacht

2 He lashed out furiously with his
foot at Andre, catching the old
man in the stomach and doubling
him up with pain. Then, leaping
into his rig, with a last shouted in
vective at Madeleine, he turned and
raced back along the sea-road.
He thanked his God for the fog,
which would enable him !, to steal
away unperceived upon the yacht.
He had kept his two men aboard; ;
thick as the fog was, the lighthouse
beam would enable him to pass the
dangerous ridge Of rocks and gain
the open channel.
Broussac nearly ran down a man
who was striding, shouting, along
the edge of the rocks. Perhaps, had
they encountered, Kinross would
have settled his account with
Broussac then and there. But Kim
ross did not recognize Broussac in
the fog, and it did not occur to
him that the man in the rig was
Broussac, returning from the light
house.
AS a matter of fact, 1t was not
Broussac of whom the seigneur was
thinking at the moment. He was
thinking of his wife, the little girl
of fifteen, whom he had married
half-an-hour before the boat sailed
for the sealing-grounds. He had
loved her all his life. The demon
of violence that had made Eric Kin
ross a sort of berserk Viking.
especially when he was I'm liquor.
had never changed that feeling of
tenderness for Madeleine. ~
There was something quite un-
usual in his feeling for her, and he
had never even kissed another
woman in his life. That had been
his he'll in the prison at Marseilles,
thinking Of her. OF course he had
not guessed that his three compan-
ions had concealed the incident on
St. Pierre.
He strode along the road, shout
ing gaily. And now they heard
him. Old Andre, terrified as he
was--for he knew that voice-ter-
rifed by the return of the man
whom he had left to take his pun
ishment alone, nevertheless stood
gamely beside Madeleine.

4 Dead Man Returns
To Take Vengeance

The lumbermen halted, overcome
by the heat Of the conflagration.
'We can't 60 any further" big
Louis said to Nat. "See, boss, there
is a. line of flame right along the
ridge. The cabin is behind that.
If he has not escaped, he is roasted
to a cinder by now"
''No time" Nat painted. "We've
got-to-get on"
And ne hurled himself against the
wall of living fire that was sweep
ing down with roar, as the rising
wind famed it-hurled himself
against it only to recoil. He knew
that, if Mark was in the hut in the
heart of that confagration, there
was not one chance in a thou
sand that he could escape alive.
The fog was thickening. Andre,
well fortified with brandy, had
vanished silently from the hotel !;
but Hector Macintosh and Mon
sieur Alphonse Wizard still sat
there, drinking and muttering to-
gether. Outside, strange silence
seemed to brood over St. Victor. No
voices were heard now. The settle
ment might have been depopulated.
Then suddenly the outer door of
the hotel banged. Macintosh and
Wizard Strengthened themselves
convulsively in their chairs. Some
one was coming along the hall to-
ward their room, shouting an old
ballad throatily.
"Mon Dieu, it's hel" whispered
Macintosh in terror.
They leaped to their feet, they
looked about them for weapons.
They were too late. The door was
dung open, as if by blast of wind.
and a man stood before them.
He must have been six feet two
or three in height, and he was
built like a Hercules. His long,
blond hair hung down over his fore
head. His clothes were monde
script, and did not fit him at all.
They consisted of sweater, jack
ct and trousers, but they were not
the sort of clothes that are to be
found along the St. Lawrence. g

''At the lighthouse, Eric. He

There was something like mad

mirth that burst from Eric Kinross'
lips.
'And my little wife?"
