forward Into the crowd about the

t this I had small doubt, for bis was

toy threat of enemies. If desire urged
Ijko on. Aud I bad his pledge.
My eyes watched every moving flg

Jiixiety Increasing as I realized his
tusenre. and speculated asJo Its cause,
'"o'lld Cassion have Interfered? Could
have learned of our Interview, nnd

our meeting again? It was not Impm

s the music ceased my only plan
iit to avoid Cassion as long as pos
sible, and, at my suggestion, ttie silent
major conducted me to n side room,
tid then disappeared, seeking refresh
ment. I grasped the opportunity to
silp through the crowd, and find on-r-almetit
in 8 quiet corner.
I leaned forward eaiiiiiiig each pass

tnt"d on the dis'-overy of D'Artlgny.
Where be came from I knew not, but
hi voice softly speaking at my very
cir brou.vit me to my feet, with n

eyes, ln my eager clasping of his hand,

" 'Tin ns though I was truly wel

irravely enough. "Could I hope that

"It would be the truth, if you did,"
I responded frankly, "and I was be

breath. "Come with me Into this side

I glanced In the direction Indicated,
nil although I saw nothing of the

enough through the lifted curtain Into

ag lip turned niralii nnd faced mo.
"Hut, mou.-deur," I questioned pit
zlel, "why was It not easy? You met
with trouble?"
"Hardly that; a mere annoyance. I
may only suspect the cause, but an
hour after I left yon my ticket of In
vltatlon was wlthdruwn."
'Withdrawn? by whom?"
"The order of La Itarre, no doubt;
an officer of his gu.ird called on nie
to say he preferred my absence."
" "I'was the work of Casslon."
"So I those to believe, especially as

in k li ii ir or our meeting must have

"Itut how came yon here, then?1
He lat'jrhed In careless good nmior.
"Why. that was no trick: Think you
I am one to disappoint because of ro
small an obstacle? As the door was
refused me I sought other entrance,
and found It here." He pointed through
the open window. "It was not a ilif-
fleult passage, but I had to wait the
withdrawal of the guards below, which
caused my late arrival. Yet this was
compensated for by discovering yon ro
quickly. My only fear was encounter
lug someone I knew while seeking
you on the floor."
"You entered through this window?"
"Yes; there Is a lattice work below.'
"And whose olTlee is that within?"
"My guess Is that of Colonel Iol
guard, I.a Itnrre's chief of staff, for
there was a U tter for hhu lying on
the desk. What difference? You are
K-ad I came?"
"Yes, monsieur, but not so much for
my own sake as for yours. I bring
you warning that you adventure with
those who would do you evil if the
chance arrive."
"Huh! Monsieur Casslon?"
" "l is not well for you to despise tlie
man, for he has power nnd Is a villain
at heart in spite of all bis pretty ways.
'Tis said he has the cruelty of a tiger,
and in this case I.a Itarre girea him

"I lath the governor grudge against
me also'.'"
"Only that you are follower of La
Salle, and loyal, while be Is heart nnd

Have you any theory as to this change

and my eyes fell before the inteusity
of his glance.

that It be mentioned."

then that I have shown Interest In you;

"Monsieur!"

of bis hand on mine.
"Good! and by all the gods, I will
give him fair cause. The thought
pleases me. for rather would I be your
soldier than my own. See how It dove

of Importance, mademoiselle."
"You make It no more than a Joke?"
"Fur from It; the very fact that I
know the men makes It matter of
grave concern. I might, Indeed, smile
did It concern myself alone, but I have
your Interests In mind you have hon
ored me by calling mo your only
friend, nnd now I know not where I
may serve you best in the wilderness,
or here In Quebec?"
"There can nothing Injure me here,
monsieur, not with Casslon traveling
to tho Illinois. No doubt he will leave
behind hltu those who will observe ray
movements that cannot harm."
"It Is Hugo Chevet, I fear."
"Chevet! my uncle I do not under
stand." "No, for he Is your uncle, and you
know him only In such relationship,
lie may have been to you kind and In
dulgent. I do not ask. But to those
w ho meet him In the world he Is a big,
cruel, savage brute, who would sacri
fice even you, If you stood In his way.
And now If you fall to marry Casslon,
you will so stand. He Is the one who
will guard you, by choice of the com
inlssalre, and orders of Ln Iiarre, aud
he will do his part well."
I can remain with tho sisters."
Not In opposition to tho governor;
they would never dare antagonize him;
tomorrow you will return with Che

I drew a quick breath, my eyes on
his face.
How can yon know all this, mon
sieur? Why should my uncle sacrifice
me?"
No matter how I know. Some of
it has been your own confession.
coupled with my knowledge of the
man. Three day9 ago I learned of bis
debt to Casslon, and that tlie latter
had him In his claws, and at his mercy,
Today I had evidence of what that
debt means."
Today!"
"Ay! 'twas from Chevet the threat
came that he would kill me If I ever
met with you airalu."
I could but stare at him. Incredulous,
my fingers unconsciously grasping bis
Jacfcet.
"He said that? Chevet?"
"Ay! Chevet; the message came by
mouth of tlie balfhreed, his voyageur,
and I choked out of him where he had
left his master, yet when I got there
the man had gone. If we might meet
onlght tlie matter would be swiftly
settled."
He gazed out Into the darkness, nnd
I saw his hand close on the hilt of his
knife. I caught his arm.
"No, no, monsieur; not that. You
must not seek a quarrel, for I am not
afraid truly I am uot; you will lis

There was n voice speaking In the
office room behind, tlie closing of a
door, and the scraping of a chair ns
someone rtit down. My words ceased,
and we stood silent In the shadow, my
grasp still on D'Artlgny'g arm.
CHAPTER V.
The Order of La Barre.
I did not recognize the voice speak
ing a husky vo'ce, the words Indis
tinct, yet withal forceful nor do I
know what It was he said. Iiut when
the other answered, tapping on the
desk with some Instrument. I knew the
second speaker to be La Iiarre, and
leaned back Just far enough to gain
glimpse through the opening In the
drapery. lie sat nt the desk, his back
towanl us, while his companion, a red
faced, heavily moustached man, In uni
form of the Itlfles, stood opposite, one
arm on the mantel over the fireplace.
His expression was that of amused
interest.
"You saw the lady?" he asked.
"In tho receiving line for a moment
only; a fair enough maid to be loved
for her own sake, I should say. Faith,
never have I seen handsomer eyes."
The other laughed.
" 'TIs well niadame does not over
hear that confession. An heiress, nnd
beautiful! MIT! but she might find
others to her liking rather than this
Casslon."
"It is small chance she has had to
make choice, and as to her being aa
heiress, where heard you such a ru
mor, C'llouel Delguard?"
The olllcer straightened up.
"You forget, sir," he said slowly,
"that the papers passed through my
hands after Captain la Chesnnvne's
death. It was at your reuuest thev
fulled to reach the hands of Froute-
mic.
I.a Harre gazed at him across the
desk, his brows contracted Into a
frown.
"No, I had not forgotten," and the
words sounded harsh. "I!ut thev came
to me properly sealed, and I .supposed
unopened. I think I have some reason
to ask an explanation, monsieur."
And one easily made. I saw only
the letter, but that revealed enough to
permit of my guessing tlie rest. It
is true. Is It not, that I.a (hesnayne
left an estate of value?"
lie thought so, but. ns you must
be aware. It had been aTeiialed by act
of treason."
Ay! but Comte de Frontenac ap
pealed the case to the king, who grant
ed pardon and restoration."
So, 'twas rumored, but unsupport
ed by tlie records. Ro far as New
France knows there was no reply from
Versailles."
The colonel stood erect and advanced
a step, his expression one of sudden
curiosity.
"In faith, governor," be said swiftly,
but your statement awakens wonder.
If this be so why does Francois Cas
slon sevk the maid so nrdently? Never
did I deem that cavalier one to throw
himself away without due reward."
La Itarre laughed.
'Terchance you do Francois 111 Jud
ment, Monsieur lo Colonel," he replied
amused. "No doubt 'tis love, for. In
truth, the witch would send sluggish
blood dancing with the glance of her
eyes. Still," more soberly, his cyea
falling to the desk, " 'tis, as yon say,
scarce in accord with Cusslon'a Da
tnre to thus make sacrifice, and there
have been times when I suspected he
did tome secret purpose. I use the
man, yet nover trust him."
"Nor I, since be played me foul
trick at La Chine. Could be have
found the paper of restoration, and
kept It concealed, until all was In his
hands?"
"I have thought of that, yet It doth
not appear possible, Francois wag In

the paper enmo to his hands it was
by accident, or through some treach
ery. Well, 'tis small use of our dis
cussing tlie matter. Ho hath won my
pledge to Mademoiselle la Chesnayne's
hand, for I would have him friend, not
enemy, Just now. They marry on his
return." .
"lie Is chosen then for the mission
to Fort St. Louis?"
"Ay, there were reasons for his se
lection. The company departs nt dawn.
Tell him, monsieur, that I await him
now for final Interview."
I watched Delguard salute, and turn
away to execute bis order. La Harre
drew a paper from a drawer of the
desk and bent over It, pen In hand.
My eyes lifted to the face of D'Artl
gny, standing motionless behind me ln
the deeper shadow.
"You overheard, monsieur?" I whis
pered. He leaned closer, his lips at my ear,
his eyes dark with eagerness.
"Every word, mademoiselle! Fear
not, I shall yet learn the truth from
this Casslon. You suspected?"
I shook my head, uncertain.
"My father died In that faith, mon
sieur, but Chevet called mo a beggar."
"Chevet! no doubt he knows all, and
has. a dirty hand In tho mess. He
called you beggar, hey! hush, the fel
low comes."
He was a picture of Insolent ser
vility, as he stood there bowing, his
gay dress fluttering with ribbons, his
face smiling, yet utterly expression
less. Ln Itarre lifted bis eyes, nnd
surveyed him coldly.
lou sent for me, sir?"
Yes, although I scarcely thought at
this hour you would appear in the ap
parel of a dandy. I have chosen you
for serious work, monsieur, nnd the
time Is near for yonr departure. Sure
ly my orders were sufficiently clear?"
.They were, Governor la Rarre,"
nnd Casslon'g Hps lost their grin, "and
my delay ln changing dress hag oc
curred through tlie strange disappear
ance of Mademoiselle In Chesnnyne.
I left her with Major Cullons while I
danced with my lady, and have since
found no trace of tlie maid."
"Does not Callous know?"
"Only that, seeking refreshments, he
left her, and found her gone on his re
turn. Her wraps are In tlie dressing
room."
"Then 'tis not like she has fled the
pnlace. No doubt she awaits you In
some corner. I will have the servants
look, nnd meanwhile pay heed to mo.
This is a mission of more Import than
love-maklug with a maid, Monsieur
Cassion, nnd Its success or failure will

"It has been carefully read."
"And the sealed orders for Chevalier
do Ilaugls?"
TAKING RIGHT VIEW OF WORK
Man Makes Serious Mistake In Becom
ing Despondent and Thinking of
Himself as a Slave.
In commenting on a recent Once
Over, concerning the blessing It should
be to be able to work and to have
work to do, a man writes as follows:
"The principle is good. Work Is a
blessing to humanity, If the tollei
would but reap the fruits of his toll.
Hut, ln this era of maladjusted econ
omic conditions, the worker 'a llfo, ullh
its slave status, leaves much to bo
desired. Am I right?"
From' one viewpoint, yea; from an
other, no.
The working conditions of laborers
might be more Ideal, 'tig true, but you
cannot expect too great an Improve
ment within a short time.
Are they not Improving each year?
Aro not working hours becoming
shorter und pay larger for thoge who
niako tho necessary effort to perfect
themselves along their certain line?
If a man Is unwilling to give the
tlmo, study and effort to mak.e himself
more valuuble to bis employer, should
he hope to have his wages advanced?
The workaday world is far removed
from Blavery.
When a man begins to think of him
self aa a slave ho Is bringing about a
condition within himself which has a
tendency to place bis efforts on the
plane of those of slave.

"So I have heard a stronger mar

"A more resolute; all depends on

"In that respect the difference Is
not great. De Bauglg had but a hand

although his voyageurs may be de
pended upon to obey his will. His In

"And the garrison of St. Louis?"

The governor loaned his head on his
band, crumbling the paper between his
lingers.
'This young fellow D'Artlgny," he
said thoughtfully, "you have some spe
clal reason for keeping him lu your
company?"
Casslon crossed the room, his fiice
suddenly darkening.
"Ay, now. I have," he explained
shortly, "although I first engaged his
services merely for what I deemed to
be their vuluo. He spoke nie uiost
fairly."
"Itut since?"
"I have cause to suspect. Chevet
tells me that today he had conference
with mndemolselle at the house of the
Urstillnes."
"Ah, 'twas for that then you hnd his

tated slightly, then added In lower

may have caused It, but nt that mo

"For nn hour p.ist; for what reason

With no purpose In my ndnd but V.

thought nnd protect D'Artlgny from

carelessness of demeanor which I was
far from feeling.
Has It been so long, monsieur?" 1
returned iu apparent surprise. "Why
I merely sought n breath of fresh air,
and became Interested In the scene
without."
Ln Barre stood motionless, Just n
he had risen to his feet at the first
alarm, his eyes on my face, his heavy
eyebrows contracted In a frown.
"I will question tho young lady, Cas

"How long have you been behiiiv

life is hid with Christ In God. It Is
the place of absolute safety from all
attacks of tho evil one. None run
reach Christ hidden In God nnd none
can reach the Christian hidden with
lil in. It Is the place of safety from
nil the allurements of tho world. The
Christian walks through them tinsee-
Ing, having his vision filled with the
unseen. Standing In that place he enJ
dures ns seeing him who Is Invisible.
The safety of Christ Is not more cer-
tain than the sufety of one whose life
Is hidden with him In God. All the
Christian has to do to enjoy the things
that Christ enjoys, and to be satisfied
with the satisfaction Christ has, Is to
open the eyes nnd look ubout ln that
wonderful place of satisfaction and
surety which speaks of the Christian's
stnndlng. There Is no struggle there,
no discord, no four, no fighting; but
pence Is thero for heart nnd mind ;
harmony Is there nnd rest nnd quiet
that soothes mid comforts as tho tie-
Hover rests In the God-given pluce.
"The life that I now live In the
nosh. " Onl. 2: :'.'. This Is the place of
constant, never-ceasing struggle nnd
strife, but In which may be constant
success nnd victory. Self, (which Is
Jillt another niinie fur tlm fliwl.l nml
Christ, can no more be mixed than oil
nnd water. "The fl.-sh InstoM. n.n.m.r
the spirit nnd the spirit against tho
flesh, and these nro contrary the one
to the other." Gal. 5:17. As long ns
,1,e Christian Is In the flesh, so long
wm ,n,'r,' 1,n struggle. Constantly
w1' flesh demand recognition nnd
unless there bo constant vigilance
there will be making provision for tho
flesh and consequent defeat. The
flesh cannot be changed by the coming
of the Holy Spirit, however full tho
coming limy be. Nnr can the llesh bo
subdued by nny set of rigid rules
which might be ndoptcd. It will re-
"mlu wl,n"y uiiclinngctl, the enemy of
v.ou ntm uirlst, nnd will continue to
war against the spirit. The only hone
of success am! victory Is to do ns the
Lord directs, nnd reckon it to In. deml
And a dead thing Is to bo buried nnd
put out of sight. In Kpltc of Its power
nnd vitality tlie Christian may, if he
win, nave constant victory through
Christ. ICndi believer may say and
say truly, "I cau do nil things through
Christ.' It Is when (lie Christian
attempts to secure victory through
Christ nlded by self that failure comes.
It Is hard for tho believer to allow
Christ to do It nil, but only ns he Is so
allowed, will freedom und success
for the life lived in the body be reul-
l.ed.

This Is the place of service with him.
Uls promise, "Lo, 1 am with you al
ways, is given to the servants who
go forth nt his command. As lopg us

He enters Into the endeavor of Christ
to show forth the Futhernnd hour the
ambassador's message lo the world,
and he enters Into a close, warm fel
luwshlp with Christ In all his service
for tho world. The Christian's life
In the world Is one of constant serv
ice. Not the servant of the world but
the servant of tho Lord. Many seem
to live nnd work as though they wore
servants of the world nnd therefore
they nppenr to try to curry favor with
it. Iiut tho believer must ever re
member truly that "he who would
be the friend of the world Is the onemy
of God." We are not to seek the
friendship either of the good, morul
nnd religious' world, nor of tho bad,
Immoral nnd Irreligious world. All
alike, until yielded to the demands of
Christ, nro the enemies of God. To
serve acceptably (here must be on-
tire separation. Hidden ln God the
or constant struggle, nnd In the world
Is the pluce of constant service.
