Lamartlne, his uncle's lawyer, tells him the property Is ccmparatlvely worthless and tries to Induce him to sell. Lafa Connell, the Mill foreman, tells him his uncle has been systematically robbed. Morris,'the manager. Is associated with the Ste. Marie company, a rival concern owned by BrouBseau, the "boss" of the region.

It was Morris who tilled Mf that little affair at Ste. Marie," •aid Lafe, a few days later. "That's (why he went to see the revenue people jwhen he was In Quebec. And It's he rwho spread the report that you were fct the back of it" "And, like a fool, I played Into his hands by being at Simeon's just when She raid came off," said Hilary. "I guess that's the size of It, Mr. jAskew. You know how people are. There ain't no surer way of queering m man anywhere, specially If he's a Wtranger, than to suspect him of setting the revenue people on to the "blind Eers.* It queers him even with folks it don't touch liquor. It's human ture somehow. By the way," he fcdded, "you heard that Simeon's back." •• Hilary nodded. "And running wide Jd>en again." "Well, I guess that hundred dollars' jBne didn't hurt him much. But he's Mighty sore on you, Mr. Askew. I'd •patch for mischief from that quarter." Hilary agreed. He did not know, however, that Lafe had learned from jlCremblay, the landlord--In some incomprehensible manner, since he had K acquired an additional word of nch during the time which had (elapsed since Hilary's arrival--that iBlmeon not only meant mischief but ffras believed to be planning it. * However, the schooner had already fctede one (rip to Quebec, well loaded. •Diary had been In negotiation with Think I 8tand for Talk I That?" 8houted Baptists. paper mills, and he hoped to Improve his chances materially if the irlnter was not an early one, and if janly the threatened strike did not materialize. But there had been another trouble, prehenslble to Hilary, and Lafe, mgh he understood Its origin, had enlightened him. It concerned ptiste. A few days later Hilary and he met jtace to face. Baptlste stopped dead jand thrust out his chin aggressively. "Well, what Is this that they are haying about the boom?" he demanded. 1 have heard nothing, Baptlste," liald Hilary. "You don' speak the truth. Yon think I saw the boom through because 'kSrousaeau pay me, eh? All right 1 I am a man. I don' have to work for jou." "I have no accusation to make against you, Baptlste." Ton don' want to accuse. But yon think, eh? P'raps you tell me now didn't saw the boom through, eh?" "I don't know whether you did or not," said Hilary, becoming exasperated. "If I had reason to believe you ttid, you'd know It" "You think I stan' for talk like that?" shouted Baptlste. "I get better money from Monslenr Brousseau than I get from yon. All right. I leave Saturday." "You can go right to the office and set your money till Saturday," said Hilary. "I'll be there In a few mln utes." He paid Baptlste, who took the money with a menacing muttering that Hilary affected not to hear. But after Baptlste had gone he felt the incident keenly. He valued the little man, and he knew he had wropged him by refusing to affirm his faith in him. Baptiste's defection was not very much, but it showed that the wind of adversity was still blowing strongly. Baptlste secured a job with Brousseau on the following day and shook the dupt of St. Boniface from his heels. Leaving Lafe at the mill, Hllury made liis headquarters in one of the new camps, about five mil en op-the river. . At live o'clock <>n the Saturday night ,t?p wum wirprised to see his hands trooping homeward along the road. Many of them did go home over Sunday, and some every night; but this was an exodus. Hilary called his gang foreman, who cane np sullenly. "What's the meaning of this?" he asked. "We strike. We want two dollar a day." "Why don't the men come to me?" "I don't know. We strike, that's all. You see Leblanc." So you've chosen this time to strike, have you?" cried Hilary furiously. "All right! Get outl I'll bring men over from the south shore." He went back to his shack an<5 sat down, resting his head on his hands. It was clear that Brousseau had postponed his original plan till now to cripple him beyond hop$. And Leblanc, who did not work for him, was In charge of the affair 1 He was thoroughly disheartened over this new development However, If the strike did not extend to the mill he could still get his shipment through. Presently he heard the sound of wheels, and, going outside, saw Lafe driving rapidly along the road. He stopped the horse, jumped out of the buggy, and came up with a woeful expression on his face. "I met your men going home, so I guess you know," he said. "They've struck." "The mill hands, too?" Lafe nodded. "It's that fellow Leblanc. He's telling them they can get two dollars and their grub. Mbc- Pherson tried to hold the mill hands, but he couldn't You'll have to give what they're asking." "Suppose I pay the mill hands two dollars, will they stay In?" asked Hilary. Lafe shook his head. "I offered it 'em," he said. "I took the responsibility of that Maybe I was wrong-- but anyway, it won't go. They say It's to be two dollars all round, mill hands and lumbermen." "I'll not be beaten by Brousseau," said Hilary furiously. Lafe scratched his jaw. "It appears to me that you're going In just the way be wants you to," he answered. "Make it two dollars till we get this shipment through the mill." Hilary shook his head. "Not a cent" he answered. "I'm not going to have Brousseau dictate the price of my labor." "That's all right, I suppose, so far as you're concerned," said Lafe indignantly, "but what about me? I guess I've got the right to have some word In the matter, with that eight thousand of Clarice--my wife--Invested. Seems to me yon're putting np your front on my money as well as yours," he blurted out "HI write yon a check for It" "Oh, shucks 1" said Lafe; and, tnrnnlng upon, his heel abruptly, he went back to the buggy without another word. He entered it whisked the reins, and drove slowly away. But when he had gone a hundred paces he turned the horse and came back. "You'd better know the worst," he said. "Louis Duval's in St Boniface, and he's going to open up tonight Now I'm through with it--all of it He whipped the horse and drove away furiously, lefevlng Hilary alone in the deserted camp. Hilary sat there for a long time. It began to grow dark, but absorbed In his bitter reflections, he took no note of anything. Everything sank lntp Insignificance beside the fact that Louis Duval, in open defiance of him and his warning, was selling liquor upon the St. Boniface property. It was a deliberate and direct challenge; and he must accept It or be for ever discredit ed among his men. More: He must accept It or abandon1 his plans And return home. I'll stop that anyhow," he muttered, and, rising, took a revolver from his suitcase, loaded the six chambers, and thrust it into his coat pocket, Then be clapped on his hat and went out. It was still light and he calculated to reach St Boniface soon after Duval opened. But he had not gone a dozen paces when he heard the sound of a trotting horse, and presently, from among the trees, he perceived Madeleine Rosny upon the chestnut which had bolted with her on the day of the dynamite blast She put her bone to the gallop as she neared him, and reined up so suddenly that she almost threw the beast back upon his haunches. Hilary saw that she had a new and powerful bit, which gave her perfect control. Her pluck was splendid In this riding of the same animal along the same road. He raised his bat and waited. She leaned over the horse's shoulder, and he saw that her face was expressive of great concern. "You are not to go to St Boniface tonight" she said. ^ "May I ask whyf - "It is my wish, monsieur--and my warning also." The memory of their past meetings rushed through Hilary's mind, already unbalanced by the events of the afternoon, and he became conscious of a great rush of anger that seemed to sweep through him like some Impersonal force and hold him against his will. "Do yon think, Mademoiselle Rosny, that yon are entitled to express your wishes and your warnings to me, in the light of our acquaintance?" he demanded. You are pleased to be Insolent to me again," she answered In a low voice. "It does not matter. If yon go to St Boniface yon go ajt your peril." Mademoiselle--" I ask yon not to go. I implore yon, then." By what right?" cried Hilary angrily. "Have you worked for me or against me, Mademoiselle Rosny, since came here, expecting to find only a welcome among my neighbors? Have you shown any reason why I should heed your advice, or pat faith In your disinterestedness?" She was not looking at him. "No," she answered, very quietly. "But you must not go. Monsieur Askew, I have come here to beg It of you. I--" "You have come here to get me not to attend to my Interests," cried Hilary, losing all his self-control. "Are you not actively allied with my worst enemy, who seeks to ruin me and drive me out of St Boniface. I lost nearly winter's cut of lumber when my boom was treacherously destroyed. You knew, Mademoiselle Rosny, and yet you ask me to heed advice from one who Is not my friend." She started as if he had lashed her across the face. She tried to answer him, but could only stammer Incoherently ; and her eyes, which had blazed with wrath as he spoke of the boom, were filled with tears which she checked valiantly. "You think I came here tonight," she began, and paused, her voice choking. "You think I came here--to you to engage In some plot of Monsieur Brousseau's? It is Insufferable I You are not so important an enemy as that" She put out her bands swiftly. "Ah, do not go to St Boniface," she pleaded. Hilary looked at her stubbornly. He would not let himself be moved. 1 have come to you, and you have humiliated me," she whispered. "Go, then!" she cried suddenly jerking the reins. "Go, Monsieur Askew 1 Go to St Boniface 1" She spurred her horse and galloped wildly away, wlille Hilary watched. He saw her pass out of sight; he waited till the last reverberations of the flying hoofs had ceased. He was ashamed; and yet he was sustained by a grimmer determination than any that he had ever known. He would not let himself believe in her. His wrath, which made him doubt every one, which had suffered him to let Lafe depart kindled him to fighting heat. He meant to fight and he grew hotter as he tramped steadily along the river road, reeling off the miles behind him, a lonely figure, his heart rancorous against the injustice meted out to him; bitter against Lafe, bitter against Madeleine, but furious In his resolution to show St. Boniface what manner of man he was. At last the lights of the settlement began to twinkle through the trees. He walked a little faster, fingering the revolver In his coat pocket. But when he reached the gate above the dam he stopped for a while and considered. His Instinct was for physical assault, such violence as alone could appease his rage. He listened to the distant hubbub about Duval's shanty; and then he did the wisest or else the most foolish thing that he could have done. He broke his revolver, took out the cartridges, and threw them away. He put the weapon back In his pocket, opened the gate, and went on. And this was wise, because Canadian law does not readily exonerate the man who kills; yet foolish, had he known that three men at least in St. Boniface expected him and were prepared for his coming. He strode past the dam and approached the outlying houses of the settlement, feeling an Implacable resolve harden him as he heard the shouts and the tumult that came from Baptiste's old house. He turned Into the little street on which It stood and saw It In front of him, with' the higher bulk of the mill beyond. The shades of Baptiste's cabin were drawn, and the lamplight from within threw the shadows of the lumbermen upon them in grotesque attitudes. Hilary could see through the open door that the place was packed to suffocation. There was no room to dance; but there was to be no dance that nlgbt A group of men, chattering upon the porch, ceased their conversation as Hilary ascended the three steps, and nudged one another. One of them broke into loud, drunken laughter. Hilary hardly heard them. He strode Into the saloon and stood within the doorway. lumbermen who were In his way aside, seized the bottle from his hand, and dashed It to the floor. His movement and the ensuing action were so swift that it was only after their completion that all the company awakened to his presence. He turned toward the plank table which had been nailed across a Yecess for a bar counter. On this were a number of bottles, all of brandy or gin illicitly distilled and smuggled up the river. On the floor were two hogsheads. A quantity of glasses newly bought, end still containing fragments of the straw in which they had been packed, stood on a packing case near by. Hilary swept his arm along the plank, knocking off the bottles, which crashed to the floor, strewing !t with broken glass. A score of streams began to filter between the edges of the boards, uniting in the depressions. The stench of the spirits rose Into the air. He kicked the hogsheads over, and they added their contents to the pool. With another sweep he struck down the glasses. Then the lumbermen rushed at him, cursing, Infuriated. The foremost hesitated as they came within reach of his arm, however, remembering Pierre's discomfiture. The momentary delay was fatal to them. Hilary struck out with all his force, felling them, or sending them staggering backward against those behind, and clearing a passage In a twinkling toward Louis, with whom alone he had business at that moment Louis was a coward, unlike his brother and Pierre, perhaps pardonably, on account of his physical weakness. As Hilary grasped blm by the shoulders the liquor seller, who made up In adroitness for what he lacked In strength, twisted like an eel, dived under the arms of those about him, and rushed toward the rear entrance, shouting something as he ran. What It was Hilary did not know. He perceived dimly that the mob fell back, except for a few who, unable to restrain themselves, surged about blm like a pack of wolves, snarling, and trying to thrust at him with the knives which they had drawn from their leather belt sheaths. Hilary, fighting like a madman, sent them smashing to the floor, cleared his way again, and made for Louis, who was just opening the back door. He grasped at him, but Louis was just a second too quick. He darted through, and the door, thrown back violently, struck Hilary upon the forehead. The next Instant Hilary passed through the doorway In pursuit. The shanty which Baptlste had once occupied had formerly been a part of large structure used by the mill for storing machinery. At the back, and contiguous with It, had been the old mill stables. The door connecting the two places had been nailed up, but Duval had opened It that morning In the course of his preparations for Hilary's advent As Hilary entered the stable the door closed behind him, and he heard the bolt shot. The yells of the lumbermen grew faint. It was only then Hilary realized that he had run Into a trap. The stable contained Louis, who hac posted himself within the stall tmme dlately opposite the entrance, anc grinned at Hilary defiantly. Between the two stood Simeon Duval, a grotesque grin upon his scholarlike features. The man who had bolted the door was Leblanc, and Black Pierre stood beside him. The four, executing a flanking movement simultaneously, advanced and took up their position between Hilary and the door. Nobody spoke, but Simeon Duval took off his spectacles quite methodically, folded them In their case, and placed it back In his pocket. Standing with his back close enough to the wall of one of the horseboxes to be able to prevent an attack from behind, Hilary watched the four contemptuously. They had got him there to fight and there was nothing he wanted more, even against the lot of them. He half regretted having drawn his cartridges, but he was conscious of no sense of fear whatever. swear you try to kill Black Pierre, an' my brudder. an' me. Now what you say?" "I haven't come here to say, bnt to give your brother a thrashing," answered Hilary scornfully. "The thrashing that I promised him that night at Ste. Marie." "You spy on me In Ste. Marie an' bring revenue officers. It cost me a hundred dollar, you damn police spy. You go now, eh? What you say?" Hilary wheeled upon Leblanc and Pierre. "And these men--what are they doing here? Yon want three men to help you kill me, eh, Simeon?" He did not want to parley, bnt in spite of his eagerness his judgment told him that he was In a perilous situation. He must taunt them till they lost their heads; that would give him an advantage. "You, Leblanc, want yonr lease again, I suppose, you thief," he said. 'You, Pierre, didn't get enough of a hiding that day I caught you cutting down my trees. There's another coming to you in a minute or two. Simeon, If Fd been you I'd have picked some men who could help me fight if I was afraid. Instead--" He got no further, for at that moment, taking the Initiative, he sprang. His fists dashed full into Simeon's face, right and left, almost together Simeon toppled backward; his heed struck the edge of the stall behind him, and he dropped moaning to tl^ floor and lay there. Passing him, Hilary leaped for Louis, but the agile little man eluded him and darted down the middle of the stable. Before he could quite recover himself Leblanc and Pierre sprang from behind. As Hilary swung sidewise he saw the knife In Pierre's hand. He thrust his arm up, and the blow, diverted, glanced, the knife ripping his sleeve open. Leblanc, also with a knife, was springing from the other side. Hilary sized up the situation with Judgment for which he could never afterward account Dashing his flsts upward, he caught Pierre under the chin, forcing his head back; at the same time he grasped the wrist which held the knife and swung so as to Interpose the outlaw's body between himself and Leblanc's blow. As Leblanc struck again Hilary turned, sheltering himself behind Pierre, one hand under his chin, the other holding back the wrist, so that Leblanc's short, stabbing strokes always fell short, being aimed around Pierre's body. Backing Into the stall adjacent to the one in which Simeon had fallen, Hilary In this manner continued to ward off Leblanc's attack. The stall was narrow, and the jobber was unable to get past Pierre, struggling In Hilary's grasp. In order to strike a blow from the side or rear. So long as Hilary could retain his hold on Pierre and keep him In this position he was comparatively safe. But he had no more than about fifteen seconds In which to think out his next move. It was all a question of muscular endurance. He could not hope to retain his clutch on Pierre's throat with one hand for many seconds, against the force behind the outlaw's shoulders, and his strong, thick-set body. Suddenly he made up his mind. He released Pierre, flinging him backward with all his might Pierre fell against Leblanc, sending him staggering; the two clawed at each other and fell to the floor. As Hilary released Pierre he caught sight of Louis' face peering across Pierre's shoulder. The fall of the two men left Louis Hilary's only immediate opponent Hilary hesitated; in spite of his threat, spoken to Simeon, he hesitated to attack a man much his Inferior In size and strength. But at that moment he saw Louis' right arm drawn back,- and the gleam of the knife he held. Before the upward thrust came he stepped back, pulled the revolver from his pocket, and brought the butt crashing down on Louis' head.' "That's what I promised youP he shouted. . The little man, instantly drenched wurttm-aqK.-fitf woomL atacMrti. lei acrttmefl, and fled, i side to aide, wit* hands npraleed his heed, towaA the door. Louie bed had enough; ta had been meant to be the bait the trap, and now he had been caught In It Blinded by the bipod that poured over hts face, he blundered into one of the window embrasures, and his upraised hands brought down the lamp, which fell crashing upon the wooden floor, and fortunately went out Still screaming, Louis found the door and tried to push back the bolt. Bnt before he could do so Hilary was on the spot He pushed it back himself and, taking Louis by the shoulders, he pushed him with all his strength into Baptiste's shanty. The room was empty. The word had evidently been passed about that It would be advisable for one to make oneself scarce In view of what was going on lh the stable. But a group of men were gathered about the door at the entrance, peering In; and the sudden apparition of Louis, covered with blood, and Hilary behind him, proved too strong for their discretion. They came running forward, yelling. Hilary could have broken through them and gained the safety of his rooms, a rihort distance away.

He was fighting mad; he had come to St Boniface to fight, and he meant to flght his quarrel out He turned. He heard Leblanc and Pierre running across the stable floor. All his calculations, which were subconscious, were made In fractional seconds that night So, now, he calculated that the pair would reach the door a half-second before the men In the shanty. They would emerge confident Imagining him to be in flight He waited. Louis' blundering flight, which took him into the midst of the lumbermen, stopped them In their attack, just as Hilary had calculated it would; at the same moment Leblanc's head and shoulders became visible around the door. Hilary, waiting for that, Jabbed upward viciously with his right Leblanc howled and fell backward, knocking Pierre off his balance In turn; and before they had recovered from the surprise Hilary had stepped back into the stable and bolted the door behind him. He saw their wonder and the dawning fear in Leblanc's face, covered with blood, and Pierre's Infuriated scowl; but they came on at him again, craftily now, crouching, their knives drawn back for the stab. A revolver, even when loaded, is of little use against a knife, wielded by an expert at close quarters. The men were attacking from opposite sides, too. They were watching each movement that Hilary made. He estimated that they would spring after a very brief delay. Ha hazarded a second and, stooping, picked up a fragment of rotten harness which had fallen to the floor beside one of the horse-boxes. He wheeled toward Leblanc, who twisted his body to meet him; and then, as Pierre rushed In from behind, wheeled again and brought down the harnees strap upon his head. Overplay will sometimes break ft man down as Well as overwork. A knife stab--and what comes of it A WELL-KNOWN INSTITUTION. Probably no Institution In America Is more widely known than Doctor Pierce's Invalids' Hotel in Buffalo^ N. Y. Although established many year* ago It is today a modern sanitarium, having all the latest facilities for th# correct diagnosis of diseases and theit successful treatment through medlclnf or surgery. It was Dr. Pierce, Its founder, who over 50 years ago gave to the world that wonderful stomach toni and blood purifier, "Golden Medi Discovery," and that famous, no; alcoholic medicine for women, *Vat vorlte Prescription." In his early professional career. Pierce realized that every family, b' especially those who live remote froi a physician, should have at hand instructive book that would teach thei something about First Aid, Phys! ology, Anatomy, Hygiene; how to re# oghlze different diseases, how to car® for the sick, what to do In case of aO1 cident or sudden sickness, etc., so h» published that great book, the "Medical Adviser," an up-to-date edition which can be procured by sending cents to Doctor Pierce's invalid Hotel in Buffalo, N. Y. Later, Dr. Pierce added another to his chain of good works llshlng a bureau of correspondence which any one can write for medical advice, without any expense whatever and If necessary, medicines especially prepared In Doctor Pierce's Laboratory will be sent by parcel post or exprejp for use at home, at a reasonable cosfc. Thus those who have symptoms of dlft ease need not suffer mental agony feaf* lng that they have some serious alp • ment, but can have a diagnosis mad# free by a physician of high professional standing.

Mm* The Trap. ^ The first man whom he saw was Louis Duval, uncorking a bottle of gin. Their eyes met across the heads of the lumbermen before Hilary's presence was known. He stood still for a moment taking In the scene. He was faintly conscious that the door at the far end of the room had closed, but this perception made no Impression on blm. He felt, alone though he was, that he was absolute master of the situation. He strode np to Louis, pushing the "1 Have Come to You, and You Have Humiliated Me,* She Whispered. "Go, Then I • He kept his right hand lightly against the pocket in which the revolver lay; it might be useful for intimidation, or even for self-defense. "Well, we got you, Meestalr Askew; sneered Simeon. "Now you listen here. We're peaceful men an' we hate trouble. We don't want to hurt you If you go away from St Boniface. Go back where you come from. Else we kill you tonight. What you say? You are alone here, no police, and every one hate yon. If we kill yea every one GET IODIN& FROM SEAWEED Supply Thet Is Practically Inexhauet. Ihle Assured to the World--Mew It la Produeed. • i - The world's supply of Iodine Is obtained from the mother liquors of the nitrate of lclnas, which In the past was obtained from kelp, a seaweed, In which it was first discovered and Isolated by the French chemist Courtols, In 1811. Were the supply of mother liquor to fail, mankind would still possess! virtually an Inexhaustible supply of Iodine In seaweed. The vapt submarine growths ol/fucus and laminaria on the southern coasts of Chile alpne would suffice for centuries. The kelp lndustrjr was of consider^ able Importance In Glasgow at one time. The abundant kelp of the west coast of Ireland and the western Islands of Scotland, which was thrown up on the beach by the sea was collected by the peasants. It was dried and burned In shallow pits, In which the ashes accumulated and malted togeth er. It contained, besides iodine, some carbonate of soda and chloride of potassium. Iodine is now obtained as a by-product of sodium nitrate. In the process by which sodium nitrate ifc dissolved and separated from its Insoluble Impurities, Iodine gradually accumulates In the mother liquor, principally in the state of sodium iodide and lodate. Later this liquor 1» further concentrated by evaporation, and at the proper time sodium bisulphite is added to precipitate the evaporation. Industry Is the lu The Integrated Goat. , • The story of the Integrated Goat concerns the man who had a lawn to cut and no lawnmower. He was too poor to buy a lawnmower and he hated the labor of mowing, so he bought a goat The goat saved him the labor by eating the grass, produced special milk for the baby, fertilized the lawn and ate a few tin cans on the side. That Is a crude case of Integrated effort. We pay tribute to the wisdom of this sort of effort In our popular proverb, "Killing two birds with one stone." This is also a crude figure. Real scientific integrated effort would require that we kill ten birds with one stone and get the stone back.--From the Nation's Business. Proposed Research Work. "A proposed British national Institution of Industrial biology would have for its prime object research connected with Industries dependent on micro-organisms or enzymes; and these, setting aside brewing and distilling, include the making of cheese, bread and pressed yeast lactic add, wine and vinegar, besides tanning, the treatment of sewage, and all agriculture. Other alms would be to give specialized Instruction to teachers and technical workers and to provide a collection of microscopic culture from which scientific workers and others could draw material. tother llnjjt by estai. tndence t|t HEARTBURN Caused by The Flnlah.
