By keeping well into tlye south- ern bank and so avoiding the force of the current they sped swiftly along, for both Amos and De Catinat were practiced hands with the paddle, and the two Indians worked as though they were wire and whipcord instead of flesh and blood. When at last morn- ing broke and the black shaded imper- ceptibly into gray they were far out of sight of the citadel and of all trace of man’s handiwork. Virgin woods in their wonderful many colored autumn dross flowed right down to the river's edge on either side, and in the center was a little island. "I've passed here before,” said De (‘atinat “I remember marking that great maple with the blaze on its trunk [REFU‘E‘] “119 is with 1110 great White father.” answered 13v (":ltinnt. “I have myself seen him in his council, and he will asâ€" sm'wlly ("011w :u-I'nss tho. great water if his game have need of him.” Thu Indian Shook his shnvon head.

They are like a tire among dry grass, so swift and so terrible.” “On my life.” said De Catinat, “if those devils are indeed unchained they will new] old Frontenac back if they are not to be swept into the river.” “He was an enemy of the church, and the right hand of the foul fiend in this country.” said a voice from the bottom of the canoe. It was the friar, who had succeeded in getting rid of the buckskin glove and belt with which the two Americans had gagged him. ”Why should we take him farther?” :iskod Amos. “He is but weight for us to carry, and I cannot see that we profit by" his company. Let us put him out." "And have him maybe in front of us, warning the blackjackets.” said old Ephraim. "On that island, then.” “\‘oz'y guod. He can hail the first of his folk who pass." They shot over to the island and handed the trim; who said nothing. but missed them with his eye. They left with him a small supply of biscuit and .n' Hour to last him until he should be picked 11p. Then, having passed a bend in the river. they ran their canoe ashore in a little cove, where they laid out their small stock of provisions and ate a hearty breakfast while (.liscnszdng what their plans should be for the fu- ture. They were not badly provided for their journey. The captain of the Glouces- ter brig in which the Americans had started from Quebec knew Ephraim Savage well, as who did not upon the N cw England coast? He had accepted his bill. therefore. at three months’ date, and he had let him have in return three excellent guns. :1 good supply of ammunition and enough money to pro- ride for all his 'ants. In this way he had hired the canoe and the Indians and had fitted her with meat and bis- cuit to last them for ten days at the least. ~ T l “It’s like the breath of life to me to feel the heft of a gun and to smell the trees round me,” said Amos. “Why, it cannot be more than a hundred leagues from here to Albany or Sche- nectady right through the forest.” “Al/'e, lad, but how is the gal to walk a hundred leagues through a forest? N0. no; let us keep water under our keel and lean on the Lord.” "Then there is only one way for it. We must make the Richelieu river and keep right along to Lake Champlain and Lake St. Sacrement. There we should be close by the headwaters of the Hudson.” “It is a dangerous road,” said De Catinat, who understood the conversa- tion of his companions even when he .was unable to join in it. “We should need to skirt the country or the .Mo- hawks.” “It is the only one, I guess. It 18 that or nothing.” “And I have a {fiend upon the Rich- elieu river who, I am sure, would help us on our way,” said De Catinat.,.with a smile. “You have heard me talk of Charles de la None, Seigneur de Ste.

CONAN Dom; “Good!” cried Amos. “If we have a friend there we shall do well. That clinches it, then, and we shall hold fast by the river.” And so for a long week the little par- ty toiled up the great waterway, keep- ing ever to the southern bank, where there were fewer clearings. The clear- ings radiated out from the villages, and every cottage was built with an eye to the military necessities of the whole, so that the defense might make LOUIS? a stand at all points and might finally center upon the stone manor house and the mill. At every step in this country, whether the traveler were on the St. Lawrence or west upon the lakes or down upon the banks of the Missis- sippi or south in the country of the Cherokees and of the Creeks, he would still find the inhabitants in the same state of dreadful eXpeetaney and from the same cause. The Iroquois. as they were named by the Ia‘reneh, or the Five Nations, as they called them- selves, hung like a cloud over the whole great continent. For half a century these tribes had nursed a grudge toward the French since Champlain and some of his fol- lowers had taken part with their one- mies against then1.l)111'in:.r all these. years they had innoded in their foreqt villages, flashing out now and ae: ain in some border outrage, hut 11:11t111z: for the most part, until their t-l1:1111e Should come. And now it seenwd to them that. it had (0111e.Tl1ey 11nd de- 14111.11 ed all the. tiihes who 111ig'ht have allied themsenes 11ith the 1111ite 1111111. They had iaolated them. They had supplied tl1ex11>:el'-.'e.‘< with good guns and plenty of :11111111111i1io11 from the Duteh and English of New Torlc. The long. thin line of I’reneh settlements lay naked before them. Sui-h was the situation as the little party of refugees paddled along the bank of the river, seeking: the only path which could lead them to peaee and to freedom. Yet it was. as they well know, a dangerous road to fol- low. All down the liehelieu were the outposts and liloekhouses of the Ii‘reueh. ‘he hloekhouses themselves might hold their own, but to the little party who had to travel down from one to the other the situation was t'ull of deadly peril. It was true that the Iroquois were not at war with the English, but they would discriminate little when on the warmth. and the Americans, even had they wished to do so, could not separate their fate from that of their two From-h com- pauions. As they ascended the St. Lawrence they met many canoes coming down. More than once these wayt‘arers wished to have speech with the fugi- tives, but they pushed onward, disre- garding their signs and hails. From below nothing overtook them, for they paddled from early morning until late at night. On the seventh day they rested at a point but a few miles from the mouth of the Richelieu river, where a large blockhousc, Fort Richelieu, had been built by M. de Saurel. Once past this, they had no great distance to go to reach the seigneury of De Catinat’s friend of the noblesse, who would help them upon their way. They had spent the night Upon a little island in mid- stream, and at early dawn they were about to thrust the canoe out again from the sand lined cove in which she lay when Ephraim Savage growled in his throat and pointed out across the water. A large canoe was coming up the river, flying along as quick as a dozen arms could drive it. In the stern sat a dark figure, which bent forward with every swing of the paddles as though consumed by eagerness to push on- ward. Even at that distance there was no mistaking it. It was the fanat- ical monk whom they had'left behind them. Concealed among the brushwood, they watched their pursuers fly past and vanish round a curve in a stream. “We’d have done better either to put him overboard or to take him as bal- last," said Ephraim. “Well, we can’t take the back track, anyhow,” said Amos. “And yet how can we go on?” said De Catinat despondently. “This vin- dictive devil will give word at the fort and at every other point along the river. ” “Let me cipher it out.” Amos Green sat on a fallen maple with his head sunk upon his hands. “Well,” said he presently. “if it’s no good going on and no good going back, there’s only one way, and that is to go to one side. We can’t go to the north, so it follows that we must go to the south.” “Leave the canoe?” “It’s our only chance. We can cut through the woods and come out near this friendly house on the Ricbelieu. The him will lose our trail then, and we’ll have no more trouble with him it he stays on the St. Lawrence.” “There’s nothing else for it,” said Captain Ephraim ruefully. “It’s not my Way to go by land it I can get by water. so you must lay the course and keep 'her straight. Amos.” “It is not far, and it will not take us long. Let us get over to the south- THE DVRHAM ("H H ()NICLE ern bank, and we shall make a start. If madame tires, De Catinat, we shall take turns to carry her)“ “Ah, monsieur, you cannot think what a good walker I am! In this splendid air one might go on forever.” “We will cross, then.” In a very few minutes they were at the other side and had landed at the edge of the forest. There the guns and ammuni- tion were allotted to each man, and his share of provisions and of the scanty baggage. Then. having paid the Indians and having instructed them to say nothing of their movements. they turned their backs upon the river and plunged into the silent woods. Then suddenly as they peered in front of them between the trunks the green of the sward turned to the blue of the water, and they saw a broad river running swiftly before them. Amos and De Cntinnt had both been upon the bosom of the Richelieu before, and their hearts bounded as they looked upon it, for they knew that this was the straight path which led them, the one to home and the other to peace and freedom. CHAPTER XX. EAVING Fort St. Louis upon their right, the travelers pushed on- ward as swiftly as they could, for the sun was so low in the heavens that the bushes in the clear- ings threw shadows like trees. Across the river was the terrible Iro- quois country, and at two points they could see the smoke of fires curling up into the evening air. They followed the track which led down the eastern hunk. is they pushed 01m :il'd :1 stern militur3 (hullengre suddenly brought them to :1 stand, and they saw the gleam of two musket barrels which covered them from :1 thicket overlook- ing the path. “\\'e are friends,” cried De C'utinat.

They have :1 lady with them too. I greet you, madame, in the name of my father.” Two men had emerged from the bushes, one of Whom might have passed as a full blooded Indian had it not been for these courteous words, which he uttered in excellent French. He was :1 tall, slight young man, very «lurk, with piercing black eyes and gzim, square, relentless month which (01110. 01113 have come with Indian de- could only have come with Indian de- scent. . The other was undoubtedly a pure Frenchman. (elderly, dark and wiry, with a bristling black heard and a fierce, eager face. Lcaning upon his long brown gun, he stood watching the party, While his companion advanced toward them. “You will excuse our precautions,” said 110. “Va never know what device these rascals may adopt to entrap us. I fear, madame, that you have had a long and very tiring journey. My mother will be very glad to welcome you and to see to every want. But you, sir, I have surely seen you before.” “And I you,” cried the guardsman. “My name is Amory de Catinat, once of the regiment of Picardy. Surely you are Achille de la None de Ste. Marie.” “Yes, it is I,” the young man answer- ed, holding out his hand and smiling in a somewhat constrained fashion. “I do not wonder that you should hesitate. for when you saw me last I was in a very difl'erent dress from this. We have one life for the forest and one for the cities, though, indeed, my good father will not have it so and carries Yer- sailles with him wherever he goes. But it is time for our relief, and so we may guide you home.” Two men in the rude dress of Cana- dian consitaires, or farmers. but carry- ing: their muskots in a fashion which told De (‘::1L:::1t’s trained senses that they worn disciplined soldiers, had sud- denly :23._ S upon the scene.

A... has been sent to the ministers of the Gospel in the East Riding of Sim. coe and the North Riding of Ontario : “ At a meeting of the Orillia Branch Lord’s Day Alliance. on the 16th of July, 1900. after discussion, the clergyman present, on the suggestion of the Rev. Dr. Grant, agreed “that while welcoming associations which. in their corporate capacity attend Divine service, they should not be accompanied by bands of music. or hold anv procession on the Lord’s Day Other than walking between their L« dge rooms and the church; ‘ that such special serwes should be 'at the oldinary hours « 1' public wor- Ship. and also that tl.~re should be no excu sions or invita ions to breth- ren at a distance. and no entertain. ment of visiting brethwn in connec- tion Wi'h such services on the Day of rest.” After seven years trial of this rule we can say that it has proved satis- factory to the pastors of the town churches. to the societies. and to the public generally. having contributed to the quiet observance of the Lord’s Day, to the regularity of attendance and to the discipline of the Sunday Schools. we therefore, commend it to the consideration of the ministers of the Gospel throughout these rid- ings and ask them to co-operate with their brethren of Orillia in the eflort torpromote the glory of God. and the good of His Church, by showing a safe and consiStent example of a quiet and orderly observance of His Holy Day.” We gladly pass on this suggestion in the ministers of the ' Gospel throughout Canada.
