They peered up at lilm and wondered, because he looked so old and 111 he whose face had always heon so benign and cheery. lie talked to them, as a father to his children, With simple words from the heart. "Do not bo led Into error," he en treated them. "Remember that you are citizens of the good Stato where you live, though the rest of your fel low citizens are far away over the mountains to tho south. They will understand pretty soon. There are good men there good men make the laws. They will not allow other good men to be persecuted or wronged as Boon as they understand. But If you are not good, If you forget yourselves and follow men who counsel riot and rebellion, then tho men to the south will not think that you aro good men. Tou will "bo punished as bad men. Tour children will suffer because their fathers havo broken the laws. Very soon you will be called on to vote. Tou must not vote for a man who aaks you to forget the country in which you live. You will not vote for Louis Blals, for ho advises wrong things. You 'will vote for a good man Who has done much In tho past and who will do much good for you In the future. Do not forget faithful service. You can bo true to your re ligion and can remember always that you are Acadians. But let us strive to be of ono tongue with our brothers of the south. They gave us tho big school in order that our boys and girls might learn much and go out Into tho world with useful trades so that they may be Just as smart as the Tankee boys and girls. Don't you understand that our brothers to tho south have been generous? They are lifting us up they are not making aaves." His" voice grew firmer. His tones rang through the church. He was then defying all except his own con science; he was obeying what ho be lieved to be his duty. V "I counsel you to se.nd your boys and girls to tho school where they can best be fitted for tho world. The shell of the big school has been de stroyed. But the soul of It is still there, my children. Even though there- is only God's sky abovo thoso who teach and thoso who learn, tho school Is still there! I bcllevo our brothers will understand it wo are loyal and obedient: and then tho .school will again arise from its ashes to bless us." Much mora did tho good priest say to his people, leaning over the desk, pleading with them, trying to make them raise their sullen eyes to his and survey him in the old frank and responsive way. And all that which the priest said Xouls Blals wrote down with hurrying pencil, shielded by the pillar behind ,Wn!chiio sat.

Let mo tell you, Louis, that Evangellno Beaulleu is worth moro as a p'rlzo than all tho picayune political jobs you can draw down for yourself. "Did you ever know what It was to want a girl so much that your heart ached every time you thought of her and you couldn't sleep for thinking of her and longing for her? Did you ever watit a girl so much that when you saw her you felt ns tHough bloqd was rtinnlng out of your eyes? If you haven't felt that way, don't talk to me." "I know better than to loso my head In any such fashion." "By tho gods, If you have never lost your head that way you don't know what living Is, you ice-water lawyer! I never have found a girl before that I couldn't have. Now, there Isn't another girl in the world I want except this one. And you talk to me of not having enough of a motive! Louis, tho motive that puts the spur to me In this thing Is tho motive that has tipped kingdoms ujjslde down. The rumor has gone up and down this border that Aldrich has cut mo out. I'd go out now and hunt him up and drop him if I had a way planned to get me out of the scrape. If you're tho right kind of a friend and lawyer you'll tell me a way." "Don't whip a willing horse, Rol. The thing Is moving right If we don't rush It. Give me time." "But you are giving him time He Is courting her. They told me he was at tho fire with her." "Oh, como outdoors and tako a walk. i can argue wrni almost any ono except a man in love. You'll get her vhen the tlmo comes right," said the ..iwyer, starting for tho door.

Their good priest, who had been so wise in their interest in the past, who had helped the poor people to beat their burdens, now faltered advice to them to turn the other cheek, to obey cruel mandates. Blals, walking by the side of the road, waved his hand to this one and that. He shouted brusque advlco that they hold tight, cheer up, remember that Acadians should stand together for Acadians! The men nodded mournful assent. They did not un derstand very -well, but hero seemed to bo one who was full of courage In their behalf, who did not falter ad vice to be meek, who was bold and ussertlvo; and they felt that they needed a leader who was bold. So they nodded to him and some smiled. At ono place in tho street tho rough men had collected other men In a good-sized group, and this group cheered Lawyer Blals when he passed. "The campaign is well under way, and tho good Father Leclalr will not 1)0 here to boom the goat-whiskered Clifford," Blals Informed his compan ion, with satisfaction. "I dropped a letter into the postoflice Just now as I came past and if I'm any Judge of how things will move, the time-fuse will operate In about three days. And that's plenty far ahead of tho legisla tive convention. Cheer up, Dave!" "We can team love and politics In a tandem hitch and so long as we man age to get there I'll make lovo the wheel horse for your sake, If you Insist on It. There are slicker ways of cut ting Aldrich out of this thing than by a club or a gun. You smugglers havo too much rough-and-tumble about you. Leave it to me." Far ahead of them Fere Leclalr trudged dowff the dusty road toward the little stone holfse. Ho was bowed. His face was care-worn. Ills worn cassock flapped about his legs, and he Author o "King Spruce," "The Ram- rodders," "The Sklpptr and th Skipped," etc. was a pathetic figure of a little shep herd of a flock for whom he had sac rificed nil and who did not under stand the sacrifice. a CHAPTER XIII llovs Vetal lltaulieu Made Ills Will TAVE HOI rode down tho border to Beaulleu's Place; and a scowl was on his face, and surly resolve was in his heart. Ho carried news to Vetal Beaulleu. He told tho publican that tho big school In Attegat had been burned to the ground. Ho hinted darkly that this was tho first blow in a fight in which tho hateful Yankees would learn HKirtii!fl- GJ2' -- S5i 4A'''!- as-vrr something of the spirit on the border. He drank deeply of Vetal's white rum, and then ho was freer in his disclos ures and threats; thcro were to bo some grand happenings in the north, he declared. In Attegat parish would tho storm-center be. "And where Is your girl, where is Evangeline, where Is my promised wife In all this? She 13 in with the gang that's against us. You havo let her run away and laugh at you." Vetal met rago with surly protest. "I did not let her run away. It was to teach her a lesson! You said It would bo good to teach her a lesson. You said It when she left. It was tho advice of a fool, Dave Rol. I went to bring her back, and I was one man against the whole settlement of Bols do Rancourt. Don't you blame me! They took the word of the Yankee customs sneak and the word of the fiddler against me her father. They drove me away." , "Thoy wouldn't drive you away now," stated tho sullen smuggler. 'They have found out about the Yan kees since then. They would not stand up fora girl who has deserted her own people and is helping tho Yan kees to steal our boys and girls." Ho went on savagely: "A fine sight It Is nowadays to seo tho girl of Vetal Beaulleu sitting under a tree teaching Acadian girls to bo Yankees. They point her out and grin and say: That Is the daughter of the rich Vetal Beaulleu of Monarda,' Yes, sitting under a tree since tho big school has been burned, walking in tho field with out a roof over her head, helping tho Yankees to keep on in their dirty work." "If you have seen her there why did you not bring her away, if you are so bold and so proud becauso she has been promised to you?" asked Beaulleu, "That's a Job for a father to under take. I have come down hero to give you your chance to undertake It," cried Roi. "So come along with me and get your daughter. She must come away. If you go up there and mako her come there will be no scan dal. I will help you. If you don't como I'll do It alono, Vetal, scandal or no scandal, for I'm going to havo her and havo her now. I'm going to havo her oven if I lead fifty men across tho lino and fight a pitched battle to get her. By the gods, I would have brought her away long ago if it had not been for an old priest but that old priest will bo taken caro of mighty soon!" Ho strodo about the big room,' clap ing his gloved hands, Inciting the gloomy father to action. He rang changes upon tho spectacle presented by tho daughter of tho rich Vetal Beaulleu, sitting under tho open sky, disgracing herself in tho eyes of tho people by making Yankees out of Acadian children. Vetal had list ened with some alarm to Rol's predic tions of bitter troublo In tho north. But what mado his eyes sparkle at last with determination was this in sistent harping on Evangeline's humil iation of herself for tho sake of their enemies. In tho end Vetal Beaulleu smote his fists together and roared his in tention to assert his authority. From tho broad door ho shouted orders to his stablo to have his horses put to his buckboatd. "Ba gar," ho declared. "I went that first tlmo alono with my llttlo horse to find my girl and bring her to her home. For I was ashamed. It was bad if the folks of this border should know sho had run away. I was going to be tho very kind father to her. Yes, I went nlono so that sho could not bo ashamed. But now I shall mako tho loud nolso. I Khali not caro who knows that Vetal Beaulleu Is going to bring homo his daughter, no matter how many Yankees stand in the way. Sho shall como to my house and be an Acadian girl who must obey her father and marry tho man to -whom she has been promised." Dave Rol, flushed and swaggering, encouraged this new and noisy deter mination. Beaulleu banged tho windows down and barred them with the shutters. Ho double-locked the big door. Ho thrust tho keys deep in his trousers pockets along with Jingling coins and crum pled bills. He patted a huge pistol, and hid It on his hip. When tho two sturdy llttlo horsea wcro harnessed he took his placo in stato on tho rear seat of the wagon and ordered his man to drlvo on to tho north country. Rol cantered ahead. As ho rodo he wondered how ho had allowed a mere girl to defy him so long, to make a fool of him, for ho knew that the border people had already begun to gossip about tho manner in which Vetal Beaulleu's girl had thrown ov'er tho rich Davo Rol to take up with a mere Yankee who rodo tho border for tho customs servlco of his country. But in this new exaltation of resolu tion Davo Rol did not forget the pru denco that those who knew him well called cowardice. Ho rodo north by tho routo on the Canadian side. He hurried on, but kept looking behind to assure himself that Vetal Beaulleu was at his heels. Thoso same, persons who know Rol well might havo said, had they known of his Journey south to secure the services of the father, that Rol was not actuated solely by his deslro to avoid a scandal they would not havo allowed this compliment to his sense of the proprieties where a girl was concerned; it would have seemed more probable that ho needed Vetal Beaulleu for a task which ho did not dare to undertake himself. They came to Felix Cyr's tavern for (he night. . Cyr'a'ls a half-way haltlng-placo for all travelers in that section. It squats flatly on a high, domed hill, and a solitary Lombardy poplar tree thrusts Itself high above the eaves at one cor ner of the houses and the tree Is of a bald head surmounted by a cap with a feather In It, Many persons loafed in the yard. A manrwho had eight hounds clustered about his legs argued with Felix Cyr at the door of the house, appealed for admission, and vmet profane refusal. Felix Cyr had hated all dogs for many years. In the old days, when Felix was a smuggler, he owned a fighting bulldog, and onco upon a time he rushed across tho boundary to rescue his pet fronvthe Jaws of a dog which had come into that tcctlon at the heels of a stranger. The stranger was a United States deputy marshal i " disguise, and ho had a warrant for tho arrest of Cyr, and had brought along an able fighting dog in order to cajolo the smuggler upon Yankee territory. (TO BE CONTINUED) To Keep Home Happy The tramp touched his hat and walked along beside the horseman. ' "You wouldn't think It. sir," he said, "but I once had a happy home." 'Then." said the rider, '"why didn't you do something to keep It happy?" "I did, Blr," said the tramp; "I left It." Tlt-Blts.

"They do It through enthusiasm and laying so much stress on trifles as to give them undue Importance. "I'll give you an example of what I saw; A woman askeil to ceo a small, round dining room table. The salesman showed her a cheap oak affair, Just the kind of thing that every store lias. He explained to her that It would never warp or crack. Ho mentioned that the extension attachment was of real stamped steel and so much better than the ordinary cast Iron ones, because the stamped steel could not break llko tho Iron ones do. Then ho elaborated on tho castors and asked .her to clve the table a push so that she could see how easy It was to move. "Now everything he said was per fectly true, but that poor, Illiterate woman thought It was much better than ordinary furniture. Ho had overem phasized trifles. Surely you can seo that It was unconscious misrepresentation." "Yes," I broke In excitedly, "that table was for a Mrs. Enwrlght, wasn't It? It was returned, too. I remember It well." Hazelbrook looked at me and at Bruno Duko thoughtfully. Ho nodded his head slowly and gravely and said: "I fear you are right. Of course, I see It clearly now.

"You did, but I disagreed. The sys tem was wrong; the men merely fol lowed your Instructions to glvo minute descriptions of tho furniture." "You got mo cornered again, Mr. Duke," Hazelbrook admitted.

'That Is correct," Duke said-, and then explained that Instead of using such expensive linen and silverware on din ing rocm tables he should use the qual. y that Is usually used by purchasers of such quality furniture.

Incidentally, It also changed the whole course of his life. This was due, not to the mero gassing ho suf fered nt Foret Nolr, but to a deep, subtle transformation of his soul. He had seen life and death. He had become a man. Yes, Chambers had red blood In his veins now. And tho difficulty ho met most often since his return to his oU llfo was In realizing that the old blue blood of his stay-at-home friends had not changed Its color In the least Of courso they were all very kind.
