A score of canoes shot forth from ■the shore and surrounded the "Saini. Ilonore," their occupants eager to hear the news from the home country and to see the faces of the newcomers. On board everything was in confusion, as one and all prepared to exchange their cramped quarters for the liberty of shore life. At length all were ready to land and assembled themselves on the deck. Just then came stealing to their ears the sweet tones of the Angelus, hushing the noisy throng as they knelt, softened by this homely wel come that brought the tears to more than one eye as it minded them of the far-distant Norman coast or field of Pieardy. > As the canoe containing La Salle and his companions approached the landing-place they could see it tilled with a welcoming crowd. Foremost among them stood the governor, the intendant, and members of the coun cil, together with the chief men of the town. As La Salle stepped ashore the Comte Frontenac met him with a friendly smile and hearty grasp. "Bienvu, mon chor La Salle! Wel come atfain to Quebec and all New France." he said. "Thanks, M. le Oonverneur," was the reply. "Ma foil but I like not the rolling ship and long voyage. Give me rather the canoe and paddle again, with the shore always in easy reach and a sheltered spot on Mother Karth in which to sleep or stretch my limbs before the supper fire. Rut I forget; I have made new friends since I saw you and have brought one, stanch and true, with me." Thus speaking, he presented Tonti. Then turning to a man who stood with a lowering brow, biting his lips as he watched the hearty exchange of greetings between the two: "Ah! and you. how has it fared with M. l'lntendant Duchesneau? And you also. Bizard, and little Barrios, too? Par Dieu! man. but you have grown shorter since I left." The party started up the narrow street, Frontenac and Tonti leading the way, asking and answering all manner of questions relating to the king, the court, and the army. Be hind them walked La Salle (bowing row and then as he caught sight of a familiar face in the crowd), together with Barrios, the governor's secretary, and Bizard, lieutenant of his guard; Duchesneau, after responding to La Salle's greeting in a half-hearted sort of way, remaining behind to see the other passengers and receive what ever dispatches the ship had brought from the king. The city was divided into an upper and a lower town, the former occupied by the government officials, soldiers, priests and nuns, while the latter (consisting of one long street taking tip Ihe space between the river's edge and the foot of tlie bluffs) was made up of the homes of traders, sailors and a few Indians and fishermen. The ascent to the upper town was made by either of two ways; the first, a passage with steps ml in the rock, while tiie other, over which the gov ernor now passed, was a steep street lined with houses. As they walked slowly along, the passers-by saluted the govern ir with deference, and stopped to gaze at the faces of the struigers A little beyond the Epis copal pal aei Frontenac paused to gain his br ath and await the arrival of the others "A long climb, heln, mr-a ami* ' Come with n-e to the Chateau; you are to I oil e beneath my official roof."

The swinging cressets that furnished from overhead a li.ght. much feebler than that, emanating from the blazing logs, showed In one corner an old tarnished corselet and some steel pikes, while in another a massive carved desk and chair betrayed the official character of the room. In the center of the floor carpeted with many skins stood a heavy table, set with snow-white napery and polished silver. Three high-backed chairs denoted the num ber of the expected diners. While warming themselves before the fire (the autumn nights were chilly an hour after the sun went down) and gazing at the mixture of civilization and barbarism about them, Frontenac entered the room, and soon all were engaged with hearty appa ties at their evening meal. They talked freely of the plans for the fur trade that La Salle hoped to be able to build up. Frontenac, as a sort of partner in the enterprise, offered ad vice and gave his views frankly on all subjects discussed. A knock at the door and a servant entered to announce that the members of the superior council were awaiting the governor's pleasure to begin the business of the meeting. Frontenac had called for the reading of the dis patches that had arrived on the "Saint Honore" and the transaction of other important business. Tonti and La Salle accordingly withdrew and the governor passed to the council cham ber. The relation of his wrongs to liis friends had tended to arouse the irri r jfer (fS A KNOCK AT THE DOOR. lability that was so prominent a char actei istic of the man.

"See that it bo writ well and fair upon the records," said Frontenac. Then turning to Duchesneau, he con tinued: "If M. I'lntendent's hand is steady enough, lie can sign it now." Duchesncau still smarting under the king's message, and disliking the tone of the governor, which amounted to a command, replied: "If the council permit, I and the sec retary will withdraw into the adjoin ing room where w( can examine it in peace and enter it in proper form." Frontenac blazed up at once. "And keep the governor and the council waiting? Ma foi! since when have wo attended on your pleasure? Dame! sign it at once. I would have no se curity that the resolution would be accurately transcribed, did I not see it signed in my presence." . Stung to the quick, Duchesneau arose, and motioning to the secre tary to follow him, seized the draft in his hand and made for the door. The governor, thunder-struck at his resistance, planted himself firmly be fore it and exclaimed passionately: "Mordioux! you shall not leave the council chamber until you have signed the paper. After that I care not when you leave, nor how long you remain away, either." "Then I shall get out of the window, or else stay here all night," retorted the intendant, obstinately. "Peace, J.I. le Gouverneur, and you, M. l'lntendant," said the bishop, who, although antagonistic to Frontenac, saw that Duchesneau had gone too far. "accede to his reasonable re quest." The intendant looked about him sullenly, then approaching the table, signed the document, and turned to the governor, defiantly: "J withdraw my opposition;" next addressing the coun cil."l crave leave, Messieurs, to read this communication that was handed me before entering." So saying, he read a petition from one of tlie members of the council, D'Amours by name, whose chair was vacant. It stated that Frontenac had put him in prison, because, having ob tained indue form a passport to send a canoe to his fishing-station at Ma tane, lie had afterwards sent a sail boat thither without applying for an other passport. The governor had sent for him and demanded by what right he did so. D'Amours replied that he believed lie had acted in ac cordance with the intention of the king; whereupon "M. le Gouverneur fell into a rage and said to your peti tioner, 'I will teach you the intentions of the king; and you shall stay in prison till you learn them;' and your petitioner was shut up in a chamber of the Chateau, wherein he still re mains and prays the honorable council that a trial be granted him according to law." Duchesneau glanced vindictively at the governor whilst reading the peti tion, well knowing that it would act as a bomb-shell among the members of the council. He had no sooner fin ished than everything was in an up roar. The partisans of Duchesneau were on their feet loudly clamoring for the release of their absent member, whilst others, friendly to tlie governor, vain ly strove to pacify them in order to gain a hearing for him. The confu sion increased, ink was spilled, docu ments tossed from the table, fists were raised in air, and faces distorted with passion. Above the din the voices of Autouil, Tilly and Villiray were heard loudly calling for justice, saying that their own personal liberty was in dan ger and that they would fight against such tyranny. Frontenac had risen with such vio lence as to send the high-backed chair crashing over on the floor. He stood defiantly facing the angry councillors. His anger choked him, his face and neck were purple with rage; 1 lie veins on his forehead stood out like great cords; his eyes streamed fire. At length he found Utterance in speech as lie heard the cries for justice and the words against tyranny. Striking with his huge fist upon the table, he bellowed "Silence!" and when he could be heard, continued: "Ye dolts and rebels that cry forth for justice and threaten to raise arms against a tyrant, hear me! Know y • not that 1 am governor, that in my person stands the king? If I have done aught amiss, I am answerable to him. You clamor against n»y enforce ments of the law. What would you? That 1 overlook its infringement and thus give seeming ground for more lying letters and infamous reports? Were I to gloss over the transgres sions of the law like you, M. l'lntend ant, with your illicit brandy-trade, your connivance with coureurs-de-bois and fur-traders, the king would have anarchy throughout his colony instead of law and order. The case is plain. M. D'Amours admits the commission of his fault, but claims the right of private interpretation of the king's commands. That right I deny. Were I to ai'.ow law-breaking in high places togo unpunished, in six months who would be found In all the colony who would not point to tjiese as precedents, and excuse themselves? As tor you who s >ek to fight a tyrant, know well with whom you ha\<> to deal." Then leaning over, he whispered low to hln ' i rotary, who hastily wrote at his dictation When lie had finished he quickly signed his name, and calling to a soldier standing guard outside the door, handed the paper to him, saying: "Out. lliard. here is an order of I tinishment from Quebec for MoMieurs Tilly, Antciill and Villiray; they at - ' to retire to their country homes and remain there, awaltltm my commands Si.i that tl'ii order is obeyed;" and titmpln; out of tht room, lie was CHAPTER XII.

The exiled councillors had ! retired to their homes on parole that 1 they would leave Quebec the next ; morning. The inhabitants of the ; Chateau were all asleep, and tho en tire citadel was again at peace. A sentinel pacing his w.eary watch upon the rampart was the only living thing visible in the moonlight, while the barking of a solitary dog in the lower town and the distant howl of a hungry wolf from the direction of Beaupre were the only sounds appar ently that broke the silence of a con tinent. It was already after midnight, and the guard had been changed, when a keen eye might have seen a dark figure pass silently along within the shade of the barracks, the guard-room, and the Chauteau itself, until it finally was merged in the deep shadow of the magazine at the extreme end of the fort. Soon after another form ap peared. gliding by the same route 'o a common rendezvous. Within the shelter of the building they stood and conversed in low tones, while awaiting the arrival of some one else. At. length a third muffled figure joined them, and asked in an authoritative voice: "Are we all here?" "Yes, M. l'lntendant, and waiting," spoke up one of the group rather tes tily, as he shivered with the cold and drew his cloak closer about his shoul ders. "Pardon my delay, Monsieur l'Eve que," replied "but I was merely taking the necessary precau tions. I gave orders to have an extra amount of liquor served to the sol diers in the guard-room to-night, and delayed my coming until I had madu sure that yonder sentinel received his double allowance before his turn came. He is too happy now to watch the shadows very closely; listen, you ean hear him singing to himself." "But are you sure we are entirely se cure here?" spoke up the third mem ber of the group, who looked uneasily about him. "Certainement! "Duchesneau replied, with a slight touch of scorn in his tones, "unless the obscurity about us or yonder log have ears. But to the business we have come for." Then turning to the first speaker again, he went on. "Your letter to M. le Min istre, Monsieur l'Eveque, did not seetn to have much weight, for the Sieur de la Salle has come in spite of your ef forts." "True, M. l'lntendant," was the re ply, "but it seems that he managed to gain the ear of the king first. Listen while I give you the words of his re ply;" and he repeated from memory the secret letter of Colbert's. [To Be Continued.J ■lack to llie Old Rntions.

It cornea in tlit; form of the opening for settle ment of the lands ot the Untah Indian Reservation in Liah. This great reserva tion comprises 2,444,000 acres, ot which i,»(jD,IOO have been thrown open to settle ment by tiie proclamation which President Kooseveit signed on duly lo ol this year, and which Lakes effect on August 28. The mode of procedure in making the allotment of these lands is similar to that adopted at the time of the opening of the Rosebud Indian reservation, in 1904, when the Chicago & a*orth Westerii Hail way carried thousands of settlers into the trans-Missouri country to look for new ■ homes. .Settlers may make entry at the I l.nited States land ofliees at Grand .Junc tion, Col., at Vernal, Utah, Price, Utah, or Provo, Utah. Any citizen of the United States above the age of L»1 years, or the head of a family, though younger, widows and deserted wives may register for a home stead. All applications must positively be made in person by registering at one of the U. S. land offices named, except in the case of honorably discharged soldiers and sailors, who may register through an agent. The Uintah Reservation lies in the north-central portion of the state of Utah, in Uintah and Wasatch counties. It extends from tlie Green River on the east to llebcr, coualy seat of Wasatch county, on the west, and to the crest of the great Uintah Mountain Range on the north, comprising land rich in agri cultural and mineral possibilities. A large portion of this tract of land is remarkably fertile. Hie climate is tem perate. with almost perpetual sunshine. The altitude is from 4000 to 6000 feet above the sea. In addition to the agri cultural lands, there are also large quantities of grazing land on which cattle, sheep and horses may be raised with great success. The lands are watered by the Duchesne and Uintah rivers. The passeneer from the east can best reach the Reservation via 'he Chicago.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Rests Upon the Fact that it Really Does Make Sick Women Well Thousands upon thousands of Ameri can women have been restored to health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta ble Compound. Their letters are on file in Mrs. Pinkham's office, and prove this statement to be a fact and not a mere boast. Overshadowing indeed is the success of this great medicine, and compared with it all other medicines and treat ment for women are experiments. Why has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound accomplished its wide spread results for good ? Why has it lived and thrived and done its glorious work for a quarter of a century ? _ simply and surely because of its ster ling worth. The reason no other med icine has even approached its success is plainly and positively because there is no other medicine in the world so good for women's ills. The wonderful power of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over the diseases of womankind is not be cause it is astimulant—not because it is a palliative, but simply because it is the most wonderful tonic and recon structor ever discovered to act directly upon the uterine system, positively CUBING disease and displacements and restoring health and vigor. Marvelous cures are reported from all parts of the country by women who have been cured, trained nurses who have witnessed cures, and physicians who have recognized the virtue in Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound, and are fair enough to give credit where it is due. If physicians dared to bo frank and open, hundreds of them would acknowledge that they constantly prescribe Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound in severe cases of female ills, as they know by experience that it will effect a cure. Women who are troubled with painful or irregular menstruation, backache, bloating (or flatulence), leucorrhoea, falling, inflammation or ulceration of the uterus, ovarian troubles, that " bearing-down" feeling, dizziness, faintness, indigestion, nervous pros tration, or the blues, should take im mediate action to ward off the serious consequences and be restored to health and strength by taking Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound. Anyway, write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass., for advice. It's free and always helpful. J This Makes Bright and Fair There is an old saying that man works from Sun to Sun but woman's work is never done. This idea was well enough perhaps, in the year 1714 when it was first made public, but if woman's work is never done now it is generally her own fault. Take for instance, the matter of washing clothes—there is no longer any reason to dread "wash day" or to call it "blue Monday" unless you persist in scrubbing your clothes on a washboard over a steaming tub of hot, dirty water and follow all the rest of the old fashioned nonsense I the same as they used to do the fam- I ily washing when Noah was a small | boy. Of course if you do your work in I that out-of-date kind of way. there | won't be any rest for you here and R not much comfort in life either, because you will always be busy. Now, between ourselves, in the matter of washing clothes —what's the use of making a drudge of your self when with a Majestic Rotary Washing Machine, which costs little and lasts long, you can almost make a pastime of what used to be the darkest day in the week.
