CHAPTER I
— I—
At the Hem of Hugo Chevet
It w early autumn for th cine-
ters of grape above mo were already
purple and the forest leaves wero
tinged with red - And yet the air was
soft and the golden bars of sun flick'
ered down on the work In my lap
through the laced’ branches of the
trellis The work was bnt a pretense
for I had fled the bouse to escape the
voice of Monsieur Cession who was
still urging my uncle to accompany
him on his Journey Into the wilder-
ness They sat In the great room be-
fore the fireplace drinking and I had
beard enough already to tell me there
was treachery on foot against the Sleur
de In Salle To be sure It was noth'
Ing to me a girl knowing naught of
such Intrigue yet I had not forgotten
the day three years before when this
La Salle with others of his company
bad halted before the JDrsullne con'
vent anil the slaters bade them wel-
come for the night Twee my part
to help serve and he bad stroked my
hair in itenderness I had sung to
them and watched his face in the flre-
light as be listened Never would
forget that face nor believe evil of
such a man No! not from the lips of
Casslon nor even from the governor
La Barra -a
I recalled It all now as I sat there
In the silence pretending to work bow
we watched them embark In their ca-
noes and disappear the Indian pad
- dier bending to their task and Mon
sleur la Salle standing bareheaded
as he waved farewell Beyond him
was the dark face of one they called
De Tonty and In the first boat a mere
boy lifted his ragged hat I know not
why but the memory of that lad was
clearer than all those others for be
bad met me In’ the hall and we bad
talked long In the great window ere
the sister came and took me away So
I remembered him and his name
RCne d’Artlgny And ' In all those
years I heard no more Into the black
wilderness they swept and were lost
to those of us at home In New France
No doubt there were those who
knew — Frontenac Bigot those who
ruled over us at Quebec — but ’twas
not a matter supposed to Interest
girl and so no word came to me Once
I asked my Uncle Chevet and be re-
plied In anger with only a few sen'
fences bidding me bold my tongue
yet he said enough so that I knew the
Sleur de la' Salle lived and bad built
a fort far away and was buying furs
of the Indians It - was ' this that
brought Jealonsy and hatred Once
Monsieur Casslon came nnd stopped
with us and as I waited on him and
Uncle Chevet I caught words which
told me that Frontenac was La 8nlle’s
friend and would listen to no charges
brought against him They talked of
a new governor: yet I learned but lit-
tle for Casslon attempted te kiss me
and I would wait on him no more
Then Frontenac was recalled to
France and La Bnrre was governor
Bow pleased my Uncle Chevet was
when the news came and he rapped
the table with bis glass and exclaimed:
"Ah! but now we will pluck out the
claws of tills Sleur de la Salle and
send him where be belongs” But be
would explain nothing until a week
later Cadslon came up the river In
his canoe with Indian paddlers and
stopped to hold conference The man
treated me with much gallantry so
that I questioned him and be seemed
happy to answer that La ‘Barre bad al-
ready dispatched a party under Che-
valier de Baugls of the King’s Dra-
goons to take command of La Salle's
Fort 8t Louis In the Illinois country
La Balls bad returned and was al-
ready at Quebec bnt Caisson grinned
as he boasted that the new governor
would not even give blm audience
Babl I despised the man yet I lin-
gered beside him and thus learned
that La Salle’s pnrty consisted of but
two voyageurs and the young Sleur
d'Artlgny I was glad enough when
he went away though I gave him my
band to kiss and waved to blm brave-
ly at the landing And now he was
back again bearing a message from
La Barre and seeking volunteers for
some western voyage of profit "Twas
of no Interest to me unless my uncle
Joined In the enterprise yet I was
k'nd enough for he brought with him
w ml of the governor’s ball at Quebec
1 nl won the nledge of Chevet to
there with h'm I could be
r’ ' him for that and It was
-own I worked as the two
nid tiil'red In secret What
as nothing to me now — all
lit was on the hall What
n' I wn 17
lie trellis ran down toward
Hiding nnd from where I
sat In tbo cool shadow I could see the
broad water gleamlog In the sun Sud-
denly as my eyes uplifted the dark
outline of a canoe swept Into the vista
and the splashing paddles turned the
prow Inward toward our landing I
did not move although I watched with
Interest for it was not the time of
year for Indian traders and these
were whits men I could see those at
the paddles voyageurs with gay
dothi about their beads bat the one
In the stern wore a hat the brim con-
cealing bis face and a blue coot I
knew not Vbo It could be until the
prow touched the bank and be stepped
shore Then I knew and bent low
ever my sewing as though I had seen
nothing although my heart beat fast
Through lowered Insbes I saw him
give brief order tr the men and then
advance toward the bouse alone Ah I
but this was not the slender laughing
eyed boy of three years before The
wilderness bnd mads of blm a man-
s' soldier Be paused an Instant to

"Mademoiselle” he said gently
"pardon me but la not this the home
of Hugo Chevet the fur trader?”'
I looked up Into hie face and bowed
aa be swept the earth with his hat
seeing at a glance that he had no re-
membrance of me
’’Yes” I answered "If you seek
blm rap on the door beyond”
“ TIs not so much Chevet I seek1
he said showing no Inclination to pass
me “but one whom I understood to be
his guest — Monsieur Francois Css-
slon" “The man la here” I answered
quickly yet unable to conceal my sur-
prise "but you will find blm no friend
to Sleur de la Salle”
"Ah!” and he stared at me Intently
"In the name of the anlnts wbat
the meaning of this? You know me
then?”
I bowed yet my eyes remained hid-
den "I knew you once as monsieur'
friend" I said almost regretting my
Indiscretion "and have been told you
travel in his company”
"You knew me once!” he langhed
“Surely that cannot be for never
wonld I be likely to forget I chal
lenge you mademoiselle to speak my
name” -
' "The Sleur Rene d’Artlgny mon-
sieur” "By my faith the witch Is right and
yet In all this New France I know
scarce a maid Nay look up there la
naught to fear from me and I would
see if memory be not new born Saint
Qllest surely ’tls true I have teen
those eyes before why the name Is
on my tongue yet falls me lost In
the wilderness I pray you mercy
mademoiselle!”
“You have memory of the face you
aay?”
"Ay! the witchery of It tls like a
haunting spirit”
"Which did not hannt long I war-
rant I am Adele la Chesnayne mon-
sieur” He stepped back his eyes on mine
questlonlngly - For an Instant I be-
lieved the name even brought no fa-
miliar sound then bis face brighteped
and his eyes smiled aa bis Ups echoed
the words
“Adele la CheBnayne! Aht now 1
know Why ’tls no less than a mlra

that name — a slender brown-eyed girl
as blithesome as a bird ' No I bad

years has made of you a woman
Again and again have I questioned in
Montreal and Quebec but no one
seemed to know At the convent they
said your father fell In Indian skir-
mish” "Yes ever since then 1 have lived
here with my node Hugo Chevet'
"Here!” he looked about aa though
the dreariness of It was first noticed
Alone? Is there no other woman?”
I shook my head but no longer
looked at him’ for fear he might see
the tears In my eyes
‘I am the housekeeper monsieur
There was nothing else for me ‘ In
France I am told my father’s people
were well born but this Is not France
and there was no choice Besides
was but a child of 14"
‘And 17’ now mademoiselle” and
he took my hand gallantly “Pardon
If I have asked questions which bring

Montreal I heard tales of this Hugo

‘He Is rough a woodsman” I de-
fended "yet not unkind to me You
will speak blm fair?”
He laughed bis eyes sparkling with
merriment

And this other the Commlssalre Ces-

back at the closed door
Oh no he is the court courier to
stab with words not deeds Chevet
Is rough of speech and hard of band
but be fights in the open Casslon has
double tongue and one never knows

face "He la a friend of La Barre”
“So ’tla said and has been chosen

"I am” be answered honestly “yet I “Restrain your threats Monsieur
Casslon will need a guide and there I Casslon A quarrel will get Us Do-

plan And why not? We do not

“The King! To Louis?"
"Ay ’twill not be the first time he
has had andlence and already be la
at sea We can wait and laugh at
this Casslon over his useless Journey”
"But be — he is treacherous mon-
sieur” He laughed as though the words
amused
’To one who has lived as I amid
savages treachery Is an old story The
commlssalre will not find me asleep
We will serve each other and let It
go at that Aht we are to be Inter-
rupted” He straightened up facing the door
and I turned confronting my nude
aa be emerged In advance He was a
burly man with Iron gray hair and
face reddened by out-of-doors and he
stopped In surprise at sight of a
stranger his eyes hardening with sus-
picion “And whrf is this with whom you
converse so privately Adele? ” he
questioned brusquely "a young popin-
jay new to these parts I venture”
1 D’Artlgny stepped between us
smiling tn good humor
"My call was upon you' Monsieur
Chevet and not the young lady” he
sold quietly enough yet with a tone
to the voice "I merely asked ber If
I had found the right place and If
Monsieur the Commlssalre Casslon
was still yonr guest”
"And what may I ask might be
your business with tbe Commlssalre
Casslon?” asked tbe latter pressing
past Chevet yet bowing with a sem
btance of politeness scarcely In ac-
cord with the studied Insolence of his
words "I have no remembrance of
your face”
“Then Monsieur Casslon Is not ob-
servant” returned the younger man
pleasantly "as I accompanied tbe
Sleur de la Salle In bis attempt to
have audience with tbe governor
“Ah!” the word of surprise explod-
ed from the lips "Sacrel ’tls true! My
fnlth wbat difference clothes make
mistook you for a courier du bois”
"I am tbe Sleur Rene d’Artlgny
"Lieutenant of La Salle’s?”
“Scarcely that monsieur ’ but
comrade for three years 1 have been
with hla pnrty and was chosen by blm
for this mission”
Casslon laughed chucking the
gloomy faced Chevet In the side as
though he would give point to a good
Joke
And little the trip hither has profit-
ed either master or man I warrant
La Barre does not sell New France to
every adventurer Monsieur de la
Salle found different reception In Que-
bec than when Frontenac ruled this
colony Where went the fur stealer?'
“To whom do you refer?”
“To whom? Heaven help us Chevet
tbe man would play nice with words
Well let It go my young cock and
answer me” -
"You mean the Sleur de la Salle?'
‘To be sure I called blm no worse
than I have beard La Barre speak
They say he has left Quebec wbat
more know yon?”
” Tla no secret monsieur” replied
D'Artlgny quietly enough although
there was a flash in his eyes as they
met mine "The Sleur de la Salle has
sailed for France”
"France! Bab you Jest there has
been no ship outward bound1
The Breton paused at St Roche
held by the fog When tbe fog lifted
there Was a new passenger aboard By
dawn the Indian paddlers had me
lauded In Quebec"
“Does La Barre know?”
"Faith! I could not tell you thnt
as be has not bouored me with audi
ence”
Casslon strode back and forth hla
face dark with passion It was uot
pleasant news he hnd been told and
It was plain enough be understood tbe
meaning
“By the saints!’’ he exclaimed “’Tls
sly fox to break through oqr guard
so easily Ay and 'twill give him a
month to whisper his lies to Louis be-
fore La Barre can forward a report
But sacrc! my young chanticleer sure-
ly you are not here to bring me this
bit of news You sought me you
said? Well for what purpose?"
In peace monsieur Because I have
served Sleur de la Salle loyally la no
reason why we should be enemies We
are both the king’s men and may
work together The word has como to
me that you head s party for tbe Illi-
nois with Instructions for De Baugls
at Fort 8t Louis Is this true?”
Casslon bowed coldly waiting to
discover how ’ much more his ques-
tioner knew
“Ah then I am right thus far Well
monsieur 'two on that account I
came to volunteer as guide”
"You I T would be treachery”
“Oh no our interests are the tame
so far as the Journey goes I would
reach St Louts so would you Be-
cause we may hare different ends In
view different causes to serve has
naught to do with tbe trail thither
There la not a man who knows tbe

“And you pledge your word?”
“I pledge my word — to guide you

“Baht I care not whom you com-

“You go by the Ottawa and the

"Such were my orders”
" 'Tls less fatiguing although a
longer Journey and the time of de-

ly and bowed to me
"We leave Quebec before dawn

"I monsieur!’’ I exclaimed In sur-
prise at his boastful words " 'Twas
my uncle who proposed — ”
"Tut tut what of that?" he Inter-
rupted in no way discomposed "It Is
my request which opens the golden
gntes The good Hugo here but looks
on at a frivolity for which be cares
nothing Tls the young who dance
And you Monsieur d'Artlgny am I
to meet -you there also or perchance

“At the ball monsieur Tls three
years since I have danced to measure

thus keep company with Monsieur
Chevet Nor shall I fall you at 11)6

bowed hat in hnnd “and to you

We wutched blm go down the grape
arbor to the canoe and no one spoke
but Casslon
"Pouf! be thinks well of himself

be my part to clip bis spurs Still ’tls
good policy to have him with us for
’tls a long Journey What say you
Chevet?”
'That he Is one to watch” answered
my uncle grufily "I trust none of La
Salle’s brood”
“No nor I for the matter of that
but I am willing to pit my brains
against the best of them Francois
Casslon Is not likely to be caught
asleep my good Hugo”
CHAPTER II
The Choice of a Husband
It was just before dnrk when Mon-
sieur Casslon left us and I watched
him go glndly enough hidden beliiud
the shade of my window He bnd
been talking for an hour with Chevet
In the room below 1 could bear the
rattle of glasses as though they drank
and tlie unpleasant arrogance of bis
voice although no worde reached me
clearly I cared little what he said
although I woudered at his purpose In
PAID DEARLY FOR VANITY
How Diplomat’s Precious Stone
Were Levied on to Fill Out th
Loan Privy Purs
The princeling of the comlo opera
country had sent to hla minister in a
far rich country the decoration of the
National Order of the Golden dost It
was a cheap trinket plentifully
adorned with Imitation Jewels But
tbe minister being a vain man and
prosperous bad the false stones re-
placed by real ones and wore hla
order thereafter with proper pride
Then after some years tha princeling
came a-vlalting to the 'far country
Naturally tha minister came to pay
his respects Almost at once the
eyes of the princeling fell upon the
order with the real atones and ha sat
as one fascinated prolonging the In-
terview with Idle questions end pay-
ing no attention to the answers Ha
was resolving a problem— for the
privy purse was leaner than usual
Just then At last h saw his way
clear to make a coup '
“It Is time” he said to the minis-
ter "that your valuable services to
your country should receive addi-
tional recognition from your country's
prince I hereby (hs reached Into a
pocket somswhsr about hla plump
belug there nnd what object be might
have In this long converse with my
uncle Yet I was not sent for and do
doubt It was some conference over
furs of no great Interest The two
were In some scheme I knew to gain
advantage over Sleur de la Salle and
were much elated now that La Barre
held power but that was nothing for
& girl to understand so I worked on
with busy fingers my mlnd'not forget-
ful of the young Sleur d'Artlgny
Chevet did not return to the house
after Monsieur Casslon's canoe had
disappeared I saw him walking back
and forth along tbe river bank stnok
Ing and seemingly thinking out some
problem Nor did be appear until
pad tbe evening meal ready and called
to biro down the arbor He was always
gruff and bearish enough when we
were alone seldom speaking Indeed
except to give utterance to some or-
der but this night be appeared even
more morose and silent than bis wont
not so much as looking at me as he
took seat and began to eat No doubt
Casslon had brought ill news or else
the appearance of D’Artlgny had
served to arouse all his old animosity
toward La Salle It was little to me
however and I bnd learned to ignore
hla moods so I took my own place
silently and paid no heed to the
scowl with which he surveyed me
ncrosa the table No doubt my very
Indifference fanned hla discontent but
I remained Ignorant of It until be
burst out savagely
"And so you know this young cock
erel do you? You know blm and
never told me? Where before did you
ever meet this popinjay?”
“At the convent three years ago
La Salle rested there over night and
young D’Artlgny wag of the pirty
He was bat a boy then”
“He came here today to see you?”
"No never” I protested “I doubt
If he even had the memory of me until
I told him who I was Surely he ex-
plained clearly why he came”
He eyed me fiercely bis face full of
suspicion hln great band gripping the
knife
“ Tls well for you if that be true
he said gruffly "but I have no faith
In the lad’s words He Is here as La
Salle’s spy and so I told Casslon
though the only honor he did me was
to laugh at my warning ‘Let blm
spy’ he said ‘and I will play at the
same game ’tls little enough he will
learn and we shall need bis guidance’
Ayl and )ie may be right but I want
nothing to do with the fellow Cas-
slon may give him place In bis boats
If he will but never again shall be set
foot on my land nor have speech with
you You mafic my words made-
moiselle?” I felt the color flame Into my cheeks
and knew my eyes darkened with an-
ger yet made effort to control my
speech
"Yes monsieur I am your ward and
have always been obedient yet this
Sleur d'Artlgny seems a - pleasant
spoken young man and surely 'tls no
crime that be serves the Sleur de la
Salle”
"Is It not!” he buret forth striking
the table with his (1st "Know you
not I would be rich but for that fur
stealer By right those should be my
furs be sends here in trade There will
be another tale to tell soon now that
La Barre hath tbe reins of power sad

for that young cockerel — but I hate the
brood Listen girl I pay my debts

not wipe out the score between us
