the French revenue man. Let mat
ters take their course; we are safe.
Leave that devil to make his plans.
If he kills Horace Broussac, nobody
in st. Victor will miss him. He is
not one of us habitants by birth;
! he is a foreigner, from Quebec"
There was a sea-road at low tide
by which one could pass from st.
Victor to the lighthouse. It was
along this that Broussac had driv-
en-, tortured by the terrors of Kin
ross anticipated return, and his de-
sire for Madeleine.
During his five years Of guardian
ship he had managed to secure the
bulk Of the seignioral rights in the
form Of cash in a Montreal bank.
He had disposed of Marks strip,
and an additional one, to certain
lumber companies. He had played
his crooked game desperately, trac-
ing the hours, almost the minutes
that must elapse before Kinross
came back.
He pulled his horse to a stand
still before Madeleine's door, with
a grating of wheels upon the gravel.
The girl was upon him, white-faced,
terror-stricken, almost before he
was out of the rig.
The firel The fret" she cried.
"Is Monsieur Darrell safe?"
Darrell? Oh, l reckon he's
SAFE" answered Broussac. "I
didn't come here to talk about Dar-
rell. Madeleine, my yacht is in the
harbor. I want you to come away
with me tonight. I am a rich man.
can give you everything IN the
world, instead Of your living here,
shut up in this cottage. What's the
use of waiting any longer?"
you're mad" cried Madeleine.
my husband is alive, and, il he
were dead, don't love you."
you're a fool, a little fooll I
tell you he's dead. Come with me
you're coming with me, say"
he painted, clutching her by the
wrists.
'Let me go! l will not go with
youl hate you!" cried Madeleine.
II tell you you're coming with
me-" cried Broussac, almost de-
mented. He knew that Kinross'
ship had reached Quebec the. day
before, from France. He had to
stake everything on a few minutes,
to beat down her resistance.
81 will not 60! I will not gol"
He was dragging her toward the
rig. But suddenly the bearded face
of Andre Galipeault loomed up out
Of the fog. Andre, haf-crazed,
and holding a knife in his hand.
Without a word, he slashed at
Broussac viciously. The point Of
the knife went through the lawyers
coat, ripping long rent in it.
'Kill him, Andre!" cried Made
leine Historically. "He is tortur-
ing mel" And she darted into the
darkness.
Andre leaped at Broussac again.
Broussac was a strong man, and
burly one, but he saw death in
the old mans eyes. He knew his
dream, his mad dream, was over.
Madeleine would never be his.
But he still had the proceeds Of
the Kinross estate neatly piled
away in the bank in Montreal, in
the investments that would make
him a rich man when he took up
the new life he had been planning.
