ONTARIO Snerm at The young mamman'wu only too delighted to find himself udmithedio De Catinat cast a glance round him at the grand tree trunks, the fading foliage, the smooth sward underneath, with the long evening shadows barred across it. How difficult it was to real- ize that behind all this beauty there lurked a danger so deadly and horrible that a man alone might well shrink from it, far more one who had the we- man whom he loved walking within band’s touch of him! It was with a long heartfelt sigh of relief that he saw a wall of stockade in the midst of a large clearing in front of him, with the stone manor house rising above it. In a line from the stockade were a dozen cottages, with cedar shingled roofs turned up in the Nor- man fashion, in Q'hich dwelt the hab- itants under the protection of the seign- eur’s chateau. At either corner a small brass cannon peeped through an embrasure. As they passed the gate the guard inside closed it and placed the huge wooden bars into position. A little crowd of men, women and chil- dren were gathered round the door of the chateau, and a man appeared to be seated on a high backed chair upon the threshold. “Yon are extremely welcome to my estates, both you and your body. serv- delys, which is one of our cadet branches.

Amos Green, and Captain Ephraim Savage. My wife 13 traveling with me, but your courteous son has kindly taken her to your lady." “I am honored-honored Indeed!” cried the old man, with a bow and a flourish. “I remember you very well, air, for it--is not so common to meet men or quality in this country. Now that I think of it, the second son of your great-grandfather married the niece of. one of the. De la Noues of An- As the seigneur rose, his son, who had returned, took De Catinat by the sleeve. “Father,” said he, “this is M. de Catinat, whom you may remember some years ago at Quebec.” “You know my father,” said the young man, with a shrug of his shoul- ders. “lie will have it that he has nev- er left his Norman castle and that he is still the Seigneur de la None, the greatest man within a day’s ride of Ronen and of the richest blood of Nor- mandy. He is now taking his dues and his yearly oaths from his tenants. He would not think it becoming, if the governor himself were to visit him. to pause in the middle of so august a ceremony. But, if it would interest you. you may step this way and wait until he has finished. You, madame, I will take at once to my mother, if you will he so kind as to follow me.” “I did not know until I saw the fires over yonder.” “And how did they tell you ‘2” “Tut! An Indian papoose could have told,” s id Du Lhut impatient-5y. “Iro- quois o the trail do nothing without an object, They have an abject, then. in showing that smoke. If their war parties were over yonder there would be no object. Therefore their braves must have crossed the river. And they could not get over to the north with- out being seen from the fort.” “Then they may be in the woods round us. We may be in danger!” cried De la None. The sight was. to the Americans at least, a novel one. A triple row of men, women and children were stand- ing round in a semicircle, the men rough and sunburned, the women homely and clean, with white caps up- on their heads, the children open mouth- ed and round eyed, awed into an un- usual quiet by the reverent bearing of their elders. In the center, on his high backed carved chair, there sat an elder- ly man, very stiff and erect, with an exceedingly solemn face. He was a fine figure of a man, tall and broad, with large, strong features, clean shav- en and deeply lined, a huge beak or a nose and strong, shaggy eyebrows. which arche'd right up to the great .Wig, which he wore full and long, as it had been worn in France in his youth. On his wig was placed a white hat, cocked jauntily at one side, with a red feather streaming round it, and he wore a coat of cinnamon colored cloth, with silver at the neck and pock- ets, which was still very handsome. though it bore signs of having been frayed and mended more than once. “And you never told us! How do you know that they crossed, and why did you not tell us?” Du Lhut lit his pipe from a tinder paper. “The Iroquois are on this side,” said he. “They crossed to the south.” “Well, at least it proves that they are on the other side of the'river.” The adventurer glanced over at the two little plumes of smoke which stood straight up against the red evening sky. “I don’t like them,” said be. “They are Iroquois, then?” over yonder, Du Lhut?” asked young De la None. fR EVEâ€"“BEE ’9 COPYRIGHT. 1898.

CHAPTER XXI. VVO days were spent by the trav» elers at the seigneury of Ste. Marie, and they would very willingly have spent longer, for the quarters were comfortable and the welcome warm, but already the reds of autumn were turning to brown, and they knew how suddenly the ice and snow came in those northern lands and how impossible it would be to (in-- ish their journey if winter were once fairly upon them. The old nobleman had sent his scouts by land and by wa- ter, but there were no signs of the Iro- quois upon the eastern bank, so that it was clear that Du Lhut had been mis- taken. Over on the other side, how- ever, the gray plumes of smoke still streamed up above the trees as a sign that their enemies were not very far The manor house was high and strong, built of graystone in a frame- work of wood. The large iron clamped door through which they entered was pierced for musketry fire and led into a succession of collars and storehouses in which the beets, carrots, potatoes, cabbages, cured meat, dried eels and other winter supplies were placed. A winding stone staircase led them through a huge kitchen, flagged and lofty, from which branched the rooms of the servants, or retainers, as the old nobleman preferred to call them. Above this again was the principal suit, centering in the dining hall, with its huge fireplace and rude homemade furniture. The seigneur explained that he had already supped; but, having al- lowed himself to be persuaded into joining them, he ended by eating more than Ephraim Savage and drinking more than Du Lhut. Ah. my skill 13 leaving me, and I should be glad to try a hand or two with you.” "A suit or rooms shall be laid at your disposal as long as you do me the hon- or to remain here. Peste!

He sprang up with the look of a man who has heard what he expected to hear. “Did you hear something?” whisper- ed Amos. From La None to Poitou was but twelve miles down the river, but by the woodland route the distance was more than doubled. The four men walked in single file, Du Lhut leading. De Catinat walked behind, then Ephra- im Savage, and then Amos, all with their weapons ready and with every sense upon the alert. By midday they were more than halfway and halted in a thicket for a scanty meal of bread and cheese. For an hour more they picked their way through the woods, following in the steps of the old French pioneer. Suddenly Du Lhut drOpped upon his knees and stooped his ear to the ground. He rose, shook his head and walked on with a grave face. And so it was at last agreed, and Adele was consigned to the care of the lady of Ste. Marie, while De Catinat swore that without a pause he would return from Poitou to fetch her. The old nobleman and his son would fain have joined them in their adventure, but they had their own charge to watch and the lives of many in their keeping, while a small party was safer in the woods. “Du Lhut, you know how things should be ordered,” said the seigneur. “What should you advise my friend to do. since he is so set upon getting to the English provinces before the win- ter comes?” “There is but one way,” said Du Lhut, "though even in it there is dan- ger. The woods are safer than the river, for the reeds are full of cached canoes. Five leagues from here is the liloekhouse of Poiton. and fifteen miles beyond that of Auvergne. We will go tomorrow to Poitou through the woods and see if all be safe. I will go with you, and I give you my word that if the Iroquois are there Greysolon du Lhut will know it. The lady we shall leave here, and if we find that all is safe we shall come back for her. Then in the same fashion we‘ shall advance to Auvergne, and there you must wait until you hear where their war parties are. It is my mind that it will not be very long before we know.” “I know not what to do!” he cried in despair. “I must go on, and yet how can I expose her to these perils? I would fain stay the Winter, but you must take my word for it, sir, that it is not possible.” De Catinat was more moved by the impressive manner of his hostess than by any of the other warnings which he had received. Surely she, if any one, must be able to read the signs of the times. “At least leave your white 1in at Ste. Marie,” said the dusky princess speaking in excellent French and clasping with her ruddy fingers the Ivory hand of Adele. “We will hold her safe for you until the ice softens and the leaves and the partridge ber- ries come once more. I know my peo- ple, monsieur, and I tell you that the woods are full of murder.” “Allow me to present you, M. de Catlna ” said the Seigneur de Ste. Marie solemnly, "‘to my wife.

My angel, I have been exi- deavoring to persuade our friends to remain with us at Ste. Marie.” De Catlnat was too seasoned to be easily startled, but he was somewhat taken aback when the lady, to whom the old nobleman always referred in terms of exaggerated respect. proved to be as like a full blooded Indian Squaw as the hall of the dais was to a French barn. dams "and she 'will find‘pfen'ty~ to’amuse and occupy. them, which reminds me, De Catinat, that you have not yet been presented.
