The old feudal lords who had helped to colonize and defend Canada in the seventeenth century were men chosen for the qualities of bravery, and of leadership they had display- ed as officers in the French armies. They had been made responsible | for the lives of the settlers who had | been their fiefs and stood to them in much the same relationships as the kings and chieftains in early history. Their fortunes in the be- ginning consisted usually of their swords 'and they had to build a home to shelter their families, a chapel in which their tenants might worship, and a mill in which to grind their wheat in time of peace | and which would be converted into blockhouses in times of seige, The seigneurs toiled upon the land themselves in most cases, and com- bined their honors and duties In simple dignity. When death-came, the feudal chief had ome other privilege denied to men of lesser rank and could be buried beneath the floor of the church. DEATH STRIPS.
