A proud descent he must possess:

Be free from sordid motives—ay.
She must be pure enough for wings
And have ideals that are high.
She must be modest and have wit,
She must be steadfast, cultured, sweet:

Postponing and kneel at her feet.

Most fair and graceful to behold—

CHAPTER XI.—CONTINUED.
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

there, giving a bright touch of color
to the otherwise gloomy interior. 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

A KNOCK AT THE DOOR.
lability that was so prominent a char
actei istic of the man. On entering th<j
room a cloud gathered on his brow, as
he saw all the members of the council
seated about a large table engaged in
earnest conversation. No one stirred
as he appeared, and it, was only after
his angry look that they seemed to
recollect his position and accordingly
arose, some of them reluctantly
enough, and bowed, remaining stand
ing until he had taken his seat.
"How now, messieurs!" he ex
claimed, "do you proceed with the
council's business without waiting for
its chief and president?" Then not
pausing for a reply, he seated himself
at the head of the table, having the
bishop on his right hand and the in
tendant on his left, and directed them
to proceed to business.
Duchesneau accordingly broke the
seal hearing the royal impression, and
handed it to the secretary to read.
All listened eagerly to learn what mes
sages the king sent to the chief officers
of his colony. The first portion, deal
ing with matters pertaining to the
state, was attended to with a respect
ful interest, but it was not until the
latter part, was reached, which touched
upon the various disputes between gov
ernor and intendant in which each
member of the council had taken sides,
that the interest became intense.
"M. !e Comte do frontenac," read the
seen tary, "we are surprised to lc urn all
the new troubles and dissensions that
have occurred In our country of New
France, more especially since we have
dearly and strongly given you to under
stand that your solo care Should be to
maintain harmony and peace among; all
our subjects dwelling therein. We have
examined with care the contents of all
the dispatches which you have written
ns during the last year; and as The mat
ters of which they treat are sufliciently
ample. Including dissensions almost uni
versal among those whose duty it is to
preserve harmony in the country under
your command, we have weighed both
sides and have this only to say to you:
Consider well that, if it is any advantage
or any satisfaction to you that we should
be satisfied with your services, It Is nec
tssary that you change entirely the con
duct which you have hitherto pursued."
During the reading Duchesneau's
face gleamed with pleasure, while that
portion of the council that sided with
him (Autcuil tlie attorney g"neral,
Villiray and Tilly) exchanged glances
of hearty satisfaction. Frontenac's
wrath was greatly augmented at this
public rebuke from the king, but he
only commanded in a sharp tone that
the secretary pro"eed with the reading.
"A" fur you, M.l Intendant. we have ex
amined all the li iters, papers and memo
rials that you Kent us; and though It
appear by the letters ,jf M do Frontenac
that this conduct leaves something to be
desired, there is assuredly far more to
blame in yours thnn in his. As to what
you say (oncoming his violence, his trade

renins; of the draft, of a resolution
passed at the previous meeting of the
council, which had been made out in
terms agreeable to the governor.
"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

DEVOTL'D TO SECRET SERVICE,
SHOWING THAT WALLS AND
OTHEH INANIMATE OBJECTS
OFTEN HAVE EARS,
j The scenes of anger and vio'encn
I were over. 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.

adopted at the time of the opening of
the Rosebud Indian reservation, in 1904,
when the Chicago & a*orth Westerii Hail

Thousands of Women
ARE MADE WELL AMD STRONG
Success of Lyd'a E. 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.

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.
