CHAPTER IX (Continued i IX such spirited fashion was the busi ness of homeless Evangeline Bcau lieu prosecuted for her! Such zeal requires Its reward. A half-hour later Father Leclalr camo down the hill, slowly, calm and content In his heart. A new teacher had been engaged for the summer term of the big school on his recommendation. The woman came from her door again. "This time 1 will come In. for I have business with you, Madame Oulllette," ho paid, before she could speak again of her own business. "The big bdiool has Just hired a very tine young maid from St. Basil, as a new teacher, and she will be pleased to engage a room In your house and buy her food from you. I shall bring her here, eh?" He was Indoors as he finished speak ing. "That Is good news," she said, but her face had suddenly lost its smile that was half a Blmpcr. "A poor widow needs the few pennies she can earn. It Is good news." She rolled toll-stained hands in her apron. She sighed. "It must be because of this he has been smiling." Father Leclalr understood. As real pastor of his Mock, sharer of the secrets of his people, he understood. lie frowned momentarily, then he chuckled. He drew his spectacles from their case and hooked them across his nose. He peered up at a huge por trait on the wall a crude thing done on Bristol-board with crayons. "Yes, he smiles today," agreed agree, Ilut i hnvo Father Leclalr. "Something else had happened. was not about the new teacher has been smiling for some day was to ask you about it, father, I suppose the good news you have brought is why he has been smiling." Her disappointment was evident. The priest examined the warped pic ture with which moisture and sun had played its pranks for so long. "This time It was a fine smile," she went on, wistfully. "But It must have been about the new teacher." "Ah, I see there has Ceen another suitor, Madame Oulllette. It was on that affair you called me, eh?" "It is Xajioleon Lajeunesse, the bravo rivcrman. He thinks he will leave the river and bettlo In Attcgat. He has spoken to me." Father Leclalr gazed up again, ju dlclally, at the features of the departed Monsieur Oulllette. He always hu mored the vagaries of his poor people, did Father Leclalr. He did not scoff at the little superstitions. In the case of the simple-hearted folks, the honest and the great faith Is often built on the foundation of the little supersti tions. For ten years he had humored Madame Oulllette in her belief as to the "haunted portrait." He had been called to translate for her its demonia cal scowls. Its placid resignation, its grotesque grins. With a few brusque words he could have destroyed her comforting belief that the spirit of tho departed Oulllette was with her to counsel and to understand for her with spiritual insight twisting his pictured face to mako her know. But Father Leclalr, Indulgent and tactful with the children of his flock, did not go ubout tearing their little consola tions away from his people. And, in the past, he found that the picture had helped him in winning the lonely widow too credulous, too soft-hearted away from suitors whom he, In his wider knowledge of men, did not approve. I think good friend Xavier smiles because ne Knows mat me gin wno is , coming will be sunshine In your lonely house, Madame Oulllette. For ls It hot setled that I shall bring her? As to Lajeunesse', we shall see. e shall tvatch the picture. But I think It Will soon begin to frown." The priest had had ten years' experience with tho probabilities In tho matter of the warped cardboard. "It will frown when the matter of Lajeunesse comes more to the fore, if be persists in courting fcrou. For Lajeunesse is a very lazy man, and he loafed while his first wife tolled. Yes, it Is as you say; he Is " a bravo man. But a brave man who kits in the kitchen becomes very much I of a nuisance. You will not be so i ' lonely when the girl ls here. And she will be a boarder who wilt pay not a I boarder who will boss and refuse to , ' pay, as a. lazy husband might." "J am tho fortunate woman," she I ' declared. Jler laco naa ciearea. "i ' have the spirit of my good husband , to watch over me, and tho good Father Leclalr epcaka the words as my Xavier would speak them. So I ahall never "worry. And I will have my best ,twra ready for the new teacher when jrou bring her." "The good God tempers the wind Co the shorn Iamb," taid Father L talr to himself, as ho trotted down toward tho village.

He came back into a village which was upheaved by emotion, noisy with excitement. Here nnd there. In the middle of the dusty road, groups of men clamored comment and argument, beating their fists Into their palmt. Women stood at their doors,, their shrill voices carrying far. "It was the word which camo yes terday, rather Leclalr," shouted a man who thrust himself out of u. chattering group at sight of the priest. "But no one believed. Wo thought It was only some of tho threat?. But It has been done It has been done!" An elderly man, thin, with stooped shoulders under a. shiny frock-coat, camo to the priest. lie was Xotary Plere Gendreau. the old and cherished friend of Pather Leclalr, willing to sit long hours over u chessboard, smok ing his pipe and proving by comfort ing silence tho host attributes ur friendship. "They have Leguu to put the people off the lands," ho explained. "The first eviction waa at Itancourt's clear ing yesterday. I have known It must come. It is the law." "Oh, but it's not Justice, good notary," cried the priest, his f.ico working with emotion. "You and I understand and it's not Justice." "I had been hoping It might lie y j ; g 1 JmS-M- lli Wn U postponed. Something could have been done if tho wise men had boen reached in time. There lias been too much delay. But I believe that there are good men and powerful men In I this Stato who do not want to have these honest citizens driven out. A I State needs such citizens. I hoped tho I poor folks would be let alone until 'some words could be spoken to the next legislative assembly." ' "There has been too much hope and j too little action," complained the priest.

EPISODE I tub rnontRM or tiik heturned PURNITUltU CHAPTER VII An r.vmlful Day T WILL never forget that Tuesday morning when the red-headed girl first "entered on the scene." It was one of those close, dark, depressing days one of those days that give you a feeling that something Is going to happen, I remember that Tuesday because at breakfast time Bruno Duke passed me two letters from the pile, One was from Hazelbrook, saying that he would be with us next Thursday, and the other was from a Philadelphia druggist. It read thus: Mr. Bruno Duke. , Dc,a,r,Mlr"1 ,IMe u Problem which I would like to get your help on. That Is, If It won't cost too much. It's like this: Some two years ago I attended a bankrupt sale of a small Jobber of drug sundries and bought a lot of lavender becauso It was cheap. Xot lavender water but the lavender blossoms. Thero were about five great sacks of It when It was delivered. I bought me 101 ai a price and never dreamed there would be so much. I had to borrow money to pay for It. That didn't- worry mo a great lot because I guessed I could sell It quick, to other druggists. But I guessed Wrong. I've been ntllntr Willi It nml have not sold a quarter of a sack In I the. two years since I got It. Xoiv I'm getting sick and tired of seeing It around. I have one sack hung from the celling in the onice i and nearly every time I go In it ' bangs me on the head and I get mad ui it. I advertised It dirt cheap, hut noth ing doing. I gave packages with a dollar's worth of toilet goods, but often as not they didn't bother about taking It, so I cut out that Btunt: t had some of it put up In little silk bags, but It didn't sell any. I'm up against It. I want to turn It Into money quick, so what shall I do? , Thanking you in anticipation of your advice, which I will gladly pay for if It Is not too stiff. Yours truly, KLMKK GRANT. "What do you want me to do about this?" I asked Duke. "Acknowledge it, then Keep it for a few days till we've finished with our friend Hazelbrook.

Those two letters are not what made this Tuesday memorable, for we had hardly finished breakfast when Walter, Duke's man, announced that "a young lady wished to see Mr. Flint." Duke raised his eyebrows and with an expression of mingled amusement and fun said, "Shall I be In the way?" I was frankly puzzled as to whom It could be and said so. Then to Walter I anked, "Who Is she what's her name?" "The young lady said, 'Xever mind the name.' She's a very pretty young lady. If I may so so, sir." "Show her up, Walter," broke in Duke: "don't keep us in suspense any longer." "Very good, sir," he responded, and In another moment.

"Call off the question barrage. The boy was. christened John Francis. 'John' after Lucy's grandfather, 'Francis' after his daddy. Lucy-Is very well and Francis also." "Yes, Miss Gillespie,-' broke In Duke. "The christening was a huge success, but they missed you. I wish you could have seen -Francis. The air of proprie torship he assumad over that son of his. He's worried already as to whether he will send him to Columbia or to Boston University. To hear him talk you would think the boy was already grown up. I said to him, 'I do hope he marries seine one you and Lucy will like.' and In all seriousness that crazy daddy said, 'I hope so. Indeed, but his happiness must be the first consideration,' " "Now. I'll leave you two men to work," said Mary, as she gathered up her gloves and bag and two little parcels.
