CHAPTER VIII—Continued
—16—
"Off it I" I repeated
"Off it" he repeated impetiently
'Since his Most Catholic Majesty bath
a just claim to all lands in these parts
—on this side of Hudson's river at
any rate"
"To be sure to be sure" I assented
quickly "But Monsieur Joncaire you
will be interested to know here is an
accursed tribe of savages who do not
believe as you de"
"Is that so Jean? And who may
they be?"
"The Messesagues"
Him face lighted up
"They are in De Tontyte country
And how is the dear Alphonse?"
"Fleeing for his life no less"
"Those same accursed Messesagues
monsieur rose up against us and Mon-
sieur de Tonty must flee to the north-
ward and make the journey through
the eountry of the Hurons"
A look of grave concern overspread
Joncuire's face
"Are you certain of this Jean?"
"Beyond doubt monsieur for my
friend the Wolf here smuggled a MPS-
sage from me to Monsieur de Tonty
who bade me coma at once to yin) that
you might hold up all west-bound ca
noes"
"Humph!" he growled "Have you
been long in Canada Jean?"
"But this year monsieur"
"Humph!" growled Joncalre again
"And where do you come from Jean?"
Something in his speech warned me
—the liquid slur of the South
"I monsieur!" I replied innocently
"Oh I am of Picardy But monsieur
Is of the south—no? of Provence?"
All the suspicion fled from Jonealre's
face and in its stead blossomed a
broad smile
"Peste !" be ejaculated ""rts a
clever lad! And how knew you that
Jean?"
I was overjoyed—and In no need to
simulate my sentiments This was
good fortune
"Was I not camping beside the Regi-
ment de Provence when we were on
the Italian frontier? 'Tie a pleasant
way those lads have of talking And
such good companions with the bottle!
Ah for some of that warm southern
'wine at this moment instead of the
accursed rum Rum is good only for
savages"
"You say truth" applauded Jon-
Cairo) "Come your ways within Jean
and you shall taste of the blood of La
Belle France—although it be not our
Provence vintage By the way do -jou
' know Provence?"
"I cannot say so with honesty mon-
sieur" I fenced "although I have been
In Arles"
"In Arles!"
' He flung his arms around my neck
"Jean I love you my lad! I was 1
born in St Rem! which is but a short I
distance out in the diocese"
We were now in the entrance of I
the log house and Joncalre opened I
wide the door
"Jean you are a lad in a million!" 4
he pronounced "You shall drink deep
have some wine which Bigcn the
tendant fetched out for a few of us— t
you will understand you must say
naught of it hereafter it never paid 1
duty Aye we shall make a fine night (
of it and you shall tell me of all that
has passed in Arles these many years p
He clapped his hands and a soldier
entered
41Franeela" announced Joncaire
'"this is Jean Courbevoir who will be
my guest until he departs lie has I
been In Arles Francois Remember
that What he orders you will render 4
to him Now bring us the flagon of t
wine which Monsieur Bigon sent out 1
this spring"
The soldier saluted me as if I were 1
a marshal of France and brought in 1
the flagon of the intendanee wine with
the exquisite reverence which only a t
son of France could bestow upon the e
choicest product of the soil of France t'
"Pour it out Francois" commanded t
Joncalre
The soldier hesitated
"And Monsieur de Lery?" he said ti
"A thousand million curses r capiod-
ed Jonealre "Am I to wait for him? ti
Am I to sacrifice my choicest wine in t
his gullet?"
"Who is Monsieur de Lery?" I asked
as Francois filled a thick mug with the -
ruby juice
"What? You do not know him?
This pompous whipper-snapper who
sets out to teach Louis Thomas de Jon-
cake sieur de Chabert his duty after
thirty-five years on the frontier—pah I d
lie is—"
"Monsieur de Lery enters" Inter- a
posed Francois with a glance at the
doorway a
A slender wiry little an in a wig t
several sizes too big for him strode t
Into the room Ile favored me with a
curious glance nodded to JonCalre
and took a seat across the table from F
me
s My host made a wry smile and me-
tioned Francois to bring a third mug t
) "Bola Monsieur de Lery" be said
"This is a gallant young forest-runner
one Jean Courbevolr who has come
to tell me that charming Idiot Al- 8
phonse de Tonty has been chased out
of Le de Trott by the Messesagnes
Jean Monsieur de Lery is the king's
engineer officer in Canada" -
"Another case of a log fortification
I suppose remarked de Let)' sarcas- v
4
fleetly in a dry crackling voice "Yon
gentlemen will never learn"
"You must think we grow iffilit4 d'or
instead of furs in Canada" growled
Joncalre "He sure we of the wil-
derness posts are the most anxious to
have stone walls around us IVO!
what headway have you made?"
"I have traced out the lines of the
central mass" replied De Lery tak-
ing a gulp of the wine "Tomorrow I
shall mark out a surrounding work
of four bastions to encompass it"
Ile rose from his seat
"Speaking for myself I have had
sufficient wine and I all retire If
the masons bring in the loads of stone
we expect In the morning we shall be
able to lay the first courke by noon"
Joncalre twisted his face into a gri-
mace as De Lery ascended a steep
flight of ladder-stairs to an upper
mace DM iie Lery amcenaea a steep
flight of ladder-stairs to an upper
story
"What is the difficulty monsieur?"
I inquired sympathetically
"Nk'hy at last I have persuaded this
stupid timorous government of ours
to build me a proper fort 1Tis the

CANADA JEAN?

only way we shall hold the sacre Eng-
lish In check With a fort here we can
control in some measure the inter-
course betwixt the western tribes and
the English Also we shall have a
constant threat here to keep the Iro-
quois at peace
"Well I worked up Vaudreull to ap-
prove it obtained the grants from
Paris secured the necessary mechan-
ics—and then they sent this popinjay
to supervise the work I had pitched
on this site here He would have none
of it No be must overturn all my
plans and put the new works several
miles down the river where It runs
Into the lake He is conceited with
himself because he has been charged
with all the works of fortification In
Canada"
"Are there others then monsieur?'
I asked casually busying my nose in
the wine-mug -- -
"Aye to be sure Ile is to build a
wall around Montreal and to strength-
en the enceinte of Quebec"
"But we are at peace with these
sacra English" I objected
Joncalre now thoroughly convivial
winked at me over the rim of his mug
"For the present yes But how long
Jean? Every year that passes the
English grow in strength and we be-
come weaker I speak now in matters
of trade for after all lad the coun-
try which obtains the mastery in trade
must be the military master of any
contending nation I may be only a
simple soldier but so much I have
learned
"We are a colony of coldiers and
traders well armed and disciplined
They are an infinitely larger group of
colonies with onty a few soldiers and
traders but many husbandmen Give
them time and they will obtain such a
grip on the soil of the wilderness that
they cannot be pried loose But if we
use our temporary advantage and
keep them from winning supremacy in
the trade with the savages then my
l-4o44o
Jean we may force a war upon them
at sin early day and we shall win"
lie at back triumphantly
I "Surely we have that supremacy
now!'
) He winked at me again and drew
from a drawer in the table a heavy
book such as accounts are kept In
"Jean" be said "I am about to dig
close to you a secret—which is not a
secret because every trader who
works for himself is acquainted with it
"here is the account for this post
for the year just ended We handled
a total of 204 'green' deerskins and 23
packets of various kind of furs On
these we cleared a profit of 2382
livres 3 sots 9 deniers (about $473)
which would not come anywhere near
c )vering the operating expenses of the
post You will find the same story at
every post from here to the Missis-
sippi" "Why moneeur?"
"These sacre English! First they
turn the Iroquois against us then
they build the post of Fort Oswego at
the foot of the Onondaga's river on
Irondequoit bay (now Oswego N Y)
then they send out a swarm of young
men to trap and shoot in the Indian
country then i hey pass this accurFed
law that f wilitis us obtaining Indian
goods tivri f11e New York merchants!
Peste whlat a people! They have us
In a noose"
rshook my head dolefully
"Ah monsieur you make me very
sorrowful" I said "I came out to
Canada thinking to make my fortune
but if what you say be true I am more
likely to be killed by the English"
"No no it's not so bad as that" he
answered quickly The governor-general
has waked up It seems that in
France they are not quite ready for
another war but we are charged to 1
make preparations as rapidly as pos-
alble There is an emissary coming
soon from Paris who will have in-
structions for the frontier posts and
the friendly Indians It may be we
can persuade the English to be stupid
enough to revoke this law of theirs
In any case my Jean you will have
heard of the Doom Trail?"
I crossed myself devoutly
"I have heard nothing good of It
monsieur" I said fearfully
"Ifumph I don't doubt it And mind
you Jean for myself I do not like
that kind of business But after all
'tie trade over the Doom Trail
which keeps you and me in our jobs
Without it—well this post would shut
down And they do say at Quebec
that if we an start a revolution in
England for this Pretender of theirs
and war at the same time we shall be
able to take the whole continent from
them"
There was a commotion at the door
"Bind the Indian"- shouted a voice
In French "Heh I thought so! We
meet again Orinerod!"
De Veulle stood on the threshold
his rifle leveled at my breast
"Bring the Indian inside here" be
called behind him
A group of Cahnuagas frightfully
painted with their grotesque bristling
feather headdresses hustled Ta-wanne-ars
into the room
But how Joncalre asserted himself
"What do you mean by this Mon-
sieur de Veulle?" be demanded "This
man is a foreSt-runner Jean Courbe-
volt' a messenger from De Tonty The
Indian is a Messesague—as you should
see by his paint and beadwork"
"Bah I" sneered De Veulle "They
fooled you The Indian is Ta-wan-nears
of the Seneca Wolves war chief
of the Iroquois The white man is
Harry Ormerod an English spy and a
deserter fropl the Jacobites He was
stationed in Paris for some years and
recently was sent to New York Bur-
net the governor of New York dis-
patched him here to spy out what you
are doing"
"That may be so" assented Jon-
caire "but it happens that I command
here These men are my prisoners
You will order your Indians from the
room Francois get your musket and
stand guard"
De Veulle drew a paper from a
pocket inside his leather shirt and pre
seated it to Joncaire with Irritating
deliberation

Small Fortune Paid for Gutenberg Bible
Recently at Vienna an American
dealer paid $110585 for a copy of the
Gutenberg Bible It belonged to an
abbey in Austria and the owoers had
'to get official leave from the Austri-
an government before they could sell
their treasure They obtained by far
the biggest price ever paid for a book
Yet a still higher price Is on record
as having been once offered In the
Seventeenth century the monks of St
Emeran possessed a notable manu-
script of the Gospels which bad been
presented to their abbey by the Em-
peror Henry IV
The elector of Bavaria admired it
so much that he proposed to give
these monks the town of StraPbbingen
In whange
But they were prudent men They
knew the elector could and they sus-
pected that he would retake the town'
whenever he pleased so they declined
Ms offer and kept their precious man-
uscript The Bible which the dealer bought
I s a magnititent copy on vellum of the
first book ever printed In Europe from
metal types
The Vital Spark
Are not the poets themselves to
blame that poetry Is not wore widely
read? Beautiful wandering aimless
lines soon fade without an Idea Is
satire—impudent personal biting--a
genuine poetic mood? Are beautifully
trimmed and hedged gardens the best
Inspiration for poetizing human na-
ture? Are the literary teas of social
climbers the best laboratories for po-
etizing human nature? And yet an
inconsequential leaf in the air may
seem vital and Important if to the
poet it is vital and Important—Marie

with women who are guided by
their reason rather than their enthu-

be sure these plans are well-carried
out by selecting a garment suitable for
Immediate wear yet not too heavy
and wintry for service during the
early spring days not far distant
Since plaids are forespoken as be

TWO CHARMING COATS FOR TRAVELING
Motoring and general traveling a plaid
coat Is both charming and practical
It will be observed that in both In-
stances pockets play a very impor-
tant role in the styling of these coats
Alt ) observe fur collars on both mod-
els For those who incline to fur it
may be of interest to know that fur of
different kinds is a prominent trim-
ming medium for spring
rHaboration is the keynote of many
spring coat styles This not so much
in applied trimming as in subtle com-
plex seamwork intricate sectioniug
and artful tucking
Sleeves especially interpret interest
Ink new schemes The flowing sleeve
gains In favor
There is promise of considerable em-
broidery 'especially on sleeves this
most often being self-colored
- "A covering for the bead especiaily
with a crowd and brim made of va-
rious materials worn by men and
women"---thus Is the noun "hat" de-
fined In Websteeir dictionart
lath of our ancestors can this be
all that a bat meant in days of yore
Merely "a covering for the bead"
Modern batology would 'suggest a re-
rifled definition In -this era of an

LATEST SYYLI:S IN MILLINERY
might the "hat" be interpreted as a
glorified work of the milliner's art a
thing of beauty chic and of exceeding
becomingness designed not only as a
"covering for the head" but intended
to 'complete the picture"
Even for informal wear the milliner
of the present is in a mood to Intrt:
cately and artfully fashion the hat
while for formal dress milady's "coy-
wing for the head" has become a glit-
tering multi-colored bejeweled bead-
worked and embroidered article of
adornment ever serving as a comple-

Invasion in 1405 A D- when the
great Khan Tamerlane indulged his
thirst too freely while suffering from
a fever -
-
Timour the Lame known to history
as Tamériane was born near Tash
kend in 1330 the son of the Emir
Tragal His career was one of the
most eventful ones it all history: De-
prived of his inheritance the princl-
panty of Tashkend while still in his
'youth Tamerlane's persona1 prowess
In the wars that followed won him a
large following and eventually an em-
pire with the title of Khan
His nature was a strange mixture
of good and evil He was loyal and
unselfish with friends but inhumanly
cruel toward foes In 85 campaigns
at the head of the Couraltat of his na-
tion he placed the crowns of 27 king- -
doms on his head Persia a large part
of the Kipzak empire Kashgar and
won of Russia knew his sway --
In 1308 Tamerlane began an Wyk-
sion of India Delhi was taken and
Its inhabitants massacred During the
progress of his army through India
millions of human beings perished
The city of the Ghebers lire-worshipers
was seized while a peace was be-
ing negotiated and the Gbebers tfirew
their wives children and wealth into -
the dames of their burning houses
Once when told that his army was
burdened with captives Tamerlane or-
dered 100000 put to death and the
massacre was accomplished in less
than an hour
invading Syria Tamerlane took Da
mascus and then Bagdad He ordered
each14af his soldiers to bring him a
head and caused a pyramid of 00000
human heads to be erected on the -
ruins of Bagdad The fate of the con-
quered Getes was more horrible
Two thousand men were built into a
pyramid alive bricks and mortar be-
tug placed between them
Imagine then the relief that was
in China when it was learned that
on his way thither Tamerlane was
seized with a fever in the vicinity of
Otrar and died In consequence of
drinking too much to cool his fevered
throat

Horseflies Aided Freedom
TT IS difficult to imagine the horse-
fly (Tabanus lineola) as being any
thing except a nuisance but no less
an authority than Thomas Jefferson
relates that horseflies played a part
In the signing of the Declaration of
Independence
The Continental congress was not
unanimous about the desirability of in- —
dependence from the beginning In
fact until the summer of 1770 a pow-
erful faction in the congress led by -
John Dickenson of Pennsylvania had
opposed the idea of separation from
England and for several weeks pre-
vailed against the arguments of 'John
Adams Jefferson and other enthusi-
asts In January 1776 Thomas Paine's
pamphlet "Common Sense" appeared
and caused a great stir in favor of the
radical step New England and the
Southern colonies were convinced of
the need for independence the middle
colonies holding out until last Rich-
ard Henry Lee of Virginia offered a
resolution to the congress on June 7
1776 asserting the independence of
the United Colonies Out of the de-
bate on this measure came the elec-
tion of a committee headed by
Thomas Jefferson to draft the Decla-
ration of Independence
The measure was adopted by the
vote of 12 colonies on July 4 New
York joined the movement on July 9
John Hancock as president of the
convention signed It the day It was
passed sprawling his signature in
huge characters and saying: "There!
John Bull can see my name without
spectacles" Other signers did not af-
fix their names to the document until
August 2 It was serious business
this going on record as foes of the
mother country Great Britain was
certain to regard it as treason pun-
ishable by ignominious death in the
event of capture
As the patriots gathered about the
table that warm August day awaiting
turns to take the grave step horseflies
from a livery stable next door
swarmed through the open windows
and bit the notables on their distin-
guished legs through silk stockings -
There was much complaitt about the
attack and delegates forgot theit'-777
earlier hesitancy urging one another
to act speedily and get the signing
done so they might get away
