"Lie still a moment." said a voice
Rently. "You will breathe easier short

I knew my tineas closed on the

face wiih a cloth, and It was then I
perceived his face clearly, uud reuifin

"Your privilege: 'tin a stran-.'e word
you clioo.se. monsieur." I faltered, hot
yet tuvlnc control of iny.M'If. "Surely
I have granted none."
"IVrcIiiiuce not, as there wns small
chance." ho answered, evidently at
tempting to speak lightly. "Nor cciild
I wait to ask your leave: yet surely
I may esteem It a privilege to bi'intt
you ashore alive."
"It was you thin who saved me? I
cnrifly understood, monsieur; I lost
oonseioti.s:i"ss, and urn dazed In mind.
You leaped luto the water from the
canoe V"
"es; there was no other course left
me. My boat was beyond yours, a
few yards farther out In the lake,
when the storm struck. We were par
ti il'y prepared, for l felt assured there
would be aoul.le. Never did l feel
more deadly blast; no craft such as
curs coii'd face It. We were to your
left and nvr when your canoe rap
e'red. and I bore down toward where
you strolled In the water. An In

I looked Into hl.s face. Impressed by
the scrloiiMios.s w ith which he spoke.
"I I thank you. monsieur," I said,
and held out my hand. "It was most
pallant. Are we uloue here? Where
re the others?"
"I do uot know, ma la me," he an
swered. IHs tone now that of formal
courtly. ""lis but n short time
since we reached this spot, nnd the
storm yet races. May I help you to
land, so you may perceive better our
situation."
lie lifted me to my feet, nnd 1
food erect, my clothes drippins wet.
ami my limbs trembling so that I
jrrasped his arm for support, nnd
irhinced nnioiis!y (.bout. We were
on a narrow sand beach, at the cdire
of a kiii ;i 11 cove, so protected the wa
ters were comparatively calm, al
though the trees above bowed to the
Mast, and out beyond the headland I
could see liuce waves, whitened with
foam, and perceive tin.' clouds of spray
fluni: up by the rocks. It was a wild
geene, the roar of the breakers loud
and continuous, mil the black clouds
flylna above with di.zy rapidity. All
the horror which I had Just passed
throiich seemed typilied In the scene,
and I covered my face with my hands.
"You you think they they ore all
pone?" I asked, forcing the word
from me.
"Oh. no," he answered eagerly, and
Ids hand touched nie. "Io not Rive
wny to that thought. I doubt if any
In your canoe made shore, but the
others need not be In great dancer.
They could run before the storm until
they found some opening in the coast
line to yield protection. The sergeant
v,-ns no voyageiir. nnd when one of
the pa Idles broke he steered wrong.
With nr. Indian there you would have
flouted."
"Then what can we do?"
"There is naught that I see. hut
wait. Monsieur Casslon will be blown
south, but will returu when the storm
subsides to seek yotl. No doubt lie
will think you dead, yet will scarcely
leave without search. See. the sky
grows lighter already, and the wind
Is less fierce. It would be my tliomrht
to attain the woods yonder, and build
a (lie to dry our clothes: the nir chills."
I looked where he pointed, up n nar
row rift in the rocks, yet scarcely felt
strength or courage to attempt the
ascent. He must have read- this In
oi .t face, and seen my form shiver as
Die wind struck my wet garments, for
be in. mi' instant decision.
' All. I have a better tho.icht than
that, for you are too weak to attempt
the climb. Here, lie down, madame,
and I will cover you with the sand.
It Is warm and dry. 'ln.-n I will
lumber up yonder nnd Ming wood
down; 'twill he but n short time until
we have n cheerful blaze here."
l'roui wliere I lay my head on a

pieteiy burled. 1 could watch hi in scale
the rocks, making use of the rift In
the face of the cliff, and finding- no
great dllllculty. At the top be looked
back, waved bis band, and then dis
appeared among the trees. All was
silent about roe, except for the dash
of distant wuves, aud the rustle of
branches far overhead. I gazed up
at the sky, where the clouds were
thinning, giving glimpses of faintest
blue, and began to collect my own
thoughts, and realize my situation,
D'Artlgny appeared nt the edge of
the cliff, and called to reassure ir.e of
his presence. He had Ills arms Oiled
with broken hits of wood which were
tossed to the sand, and n moment
later he descended the rift 111 the wa"
and paused beside me.
"No sign of anyot.e tip there," he
said, nnd, I felt, not regretfully. "The
canoes must have been blowu soiuo
distance down the coast."
"Were you able to see far."
"Ay, several leagues, for we are
upon a headland, and there Is a wide
sweep of bay below. The shore line

is abrupt and the waves still hlu'h.
Indeed I saw no spot In nil that dis
tance where a boat might make safe
landing. Are you becoming dry?"
"1 am at least warm, and already
feel much stronger. Would It not be
he.-.t. monsieur, for us to scale the cliff
and wait our rescuers there, where we
can keep lookout?"
"If you feel able to climb the rocks,
although the passage ii not dillicult.
A iMiat might pass us by here and
never be seen or know of our pres
ence, unless we keep up a lire."
I held out my hand to him nnd he
helped me to my tTct The warm 111
of the sand while it had not entirely
dried my clothing bad given me fresh
vigor, and I stood erect, reijuliiag uo
assistance. With tills knowledge a
new assurance seemed to take posses
sion of me, nnd I looked about and
stulied.
"1 am glad to know you can laugh."
he said eagerly. "1 have felt that our
being thus shipwrecked together was
not altogether to your liking."
"And why?" I asked, pretending
e'irprise. "lieing shipwrecked, of
course, could scarcely appeal to me.
but I am sureiy not ungrateful to
you for saving my life.'1
"As to that. I did no more than any
man might be expected to do." he pro
tested. "l!ut you have avoided me
for weeks past, an. I It lau scarcely
I e pleasant now. to he alone with me
here."
"Avoided you! liather should I nf
llriu It was your owu choice, monsieur.
If I recall aright I gave you my con
liilcnce once, long ago on the Ottawa,
ami you refused n.y request of assist
ance. Since then you have scarcely
been of our party."
"Ah." he burst forth, " I have been
oftentimes nearer you than you
thought. I could not forcet what you
said to me at that last meeting, or the
appeal you made for my assistance. I
realize the position you are In.
mad inie. married by force to a man
you despise, a wife only In name, and
endeavoring to protect yourself by
wit alone. 1 could not forget all this,
nor be Indifferent. I have been in
your camp at night ay. more than
once- dreaming I might be of some
aid to .you. and to nssure myself of
your safety."
"You have guarded me?"
"As best I could, without arousing
the wrath of Monsieur Casslon. You
are not angry? It was but the duty
of a friend."
'.'o, I atn not angry, monsieur, yet
It was not noedcl. I do not fear
Casion. so long as I can protect my
self, for if he n (tempts evil it will
lind some form of treachery. Itut.
monsieur, later t gave hiiu the pledge
he asked."
"The pledge! What pledge?"
"That 1 would neither meet, nor
communicate with you until our ar
rival at Port St. Louis."
My eyes fell before Ids earnest
gaze, and I felt luy limbs tremble.
".Mon (lieu! Why? There was) some
special cause?"
"Yes. monsieur listen. Do not be
lieve this is my thought, yet I must
tell you Ihe truth. Hugo Chevet was
found dead, murdered, at St. Ignace.
'Twas the morning of our departure,
nnd your boat had already gone. Cas
slon licensed you of the crime, as some
of the men saw you coining from the
direction where the body was found
late nt night, and others reported that
you two bail quarreled the evening
before. Casslon would have tried you
oSfhnud. using hit authority as com-

muuder of tho expedition, but prom
ised not to Cle charges until we
reached St. Louis, If I uir.de pledge
'twus then that I gave blm my word."
D'Artlgny atralgbtened up, the ex
pression on bis face oue of profound
astonishment.
"lie ho accused me," be asked, "of
murder to win your promise?"
"No, monsieur; he believed the charge
true, and I pledged myself to assure
you a fair trial."
"Then you believed also that I waa
guilty of the foul crime?"
I caught my breath, yet there was
nothing for me to do but give blm a
frank answer.
"I I have given no testimony, mon
sieur," I faltered, "hut I I saw you
In the moonlight bending over Che
vet's dead body."
CHAPTER XIV.
We Exchange Confidences.
My eyes fell before his; I could not
look Into his face, yet I had a sense
that he was actually glad to bear my
words. There was no anger, rather
hnpplness nnd relief In the gray eyes.
"And you nctuully believed I struck
, the blow? You thought me capable
' of driving a knife Into the man's buck
to gain revenge?"
"Monsieur, what could I think?" I
urged eagerly. "It did not seeia pos
sible, yet I saw you Willi my own
eyes. You knew of the murder, but
you made no report, raised no alarm,
and in the morning your boat was
gone before the body was found by
others."
"True, yet there was a reason which
I can confess to you. You also dis
covered the body Hint night, yet
aroused no alarm. I saw you. Why
did you remain silent? Was It to
protect me from suspicion?"
I bent my head, hut failed to find
words with which to answer. D'Artl
gny scarcely permitted me time.
"That Is the truth; your silence tells
me It was for my sake you remained
stlil. Is It not possible, Adele, that
my purpose was the same? Listen to
me. my girl, and have faith In my
words I m not guilty of Hugo Che
vet's death. I did not like" the man.
It is true, and we exchanged words In
anger while loading the boats, but I
never gave the matter second thought.
That was not the first ulght of this
journey that I sought to nssure my
self of your safety."
"1 know Monsieur Casslon nnd of
what he Is capable, and felt that
some time there would occur between
you a struggle so at every camping
place, where It was possible, I have
watched. It wns for that purpose 1
approached the Mission house. I
gained glimpse within, and saw Cas
slon asleep on a bench, and knew you
bud retired to the chamber ubove. I
was satisfied, and started to return
to the camp. On my way back I
found Clievet's body it the edge of
the wood. I dlscovereJ how he had
been killed a knife thrust lu the
hack."
"Hut you made no report; raised no
alarm."
' I wns confused, unable to decide
what was best for mo to do. I had no
biisinet-s being there. My first Im
pulse was to arouse the Mission house:
my second to returu to camp nnd tell
the meu there. With this last pur
pose In view I entered the wood to
descend the bill, but had hardly done
so wheu 1 caught sight of you In the
moonlight, and remained there hidden,
watching your movements with hor
ror. I saw you go straight to the
body, nssure yourself the man wns
dead; then returu to the Mission bouse
nnd enter your room by wny of the
kitchen roof. Do you realize what
j our actions naturally meant to me?"
I stared at blm. scarcely able to
speak, yet In some way my Hps
formed words.
"You you thought I did It?"
"What else could I think? You
were hiding there; you examined the
body; you crept secretly In through
the window and gave no ultirui."
The horror of It all struck me like
a blow, and I covered my eyes with
my hands, no longer able to restralu
my sobs. D'Artlgny caifght my bunds
and uncovered my face.
"Do not break down, little plrl," be
entreated. "It Is better so, for now
we understand each other. You sought
to shield me, and I endeavored to pro
tect yon. Twas a strange misunder
standing, nnd. hut for tho accident to
the canoe, might have bad a tragic
ending."
"You would never have told?"
"Of seeing you there? of suspecting
you? Could you think that possible?"
"Hut you would have been con
demned; the evidence was ull against
you."
"Let us not talk of that now," he
Insisted. "We have come back to a
f ilth In each other. You believe my
word V"
"Yes."
"And I yours."
Ills handclasp tightened, and there
was that In bis eyes which frightened
me.
"No. no, monsieur," I exclaimed and
drew back quickly. "Do not sny more,
for I am here wvh y u alone,' and
there will be trouble enough when
Casslon relurns."
"Do I not know that?" he said, yet
releasing my hands. "Still It can sure
ly do no harm for us to understand
each oilier. You care nothing for
Casslon: yon dislike, despise the man,
and there Is naught sacred In your
marriage. We nre in the wilderness,
not (fiicbee. and La liarre has little
authority here. You have protected
me with your silence was It hot be
cause you cured for me?"
"Yes, monsieur; you have been my
friend."
"Your friend! Is that all?"
"Is flint not enough, monsieur? I
like you well; I would save you from
Injustice. You could not respect ue
If I said more, for I am Monsieur
Casslon's wife by rite of Holy church.
I do not fear blm be Is a cowurd;
but I fear dishonor, monsieur, for I
am Adele la Cbesnnyne. I would re
spect myself and you,"
The light of conquest vanished from
the gray eyes. For a moment be stood
silent ni.d motionless; then be drew a
step backward and bowed.
"Your rebuke Is Just, niadame," ne
said soberly. "We of the frontier grow
careless In n land where might is
right, and I have bad small training
s.ive In camp and field. I crave your
pardon for my offense." '
So contrite was bis expression I bad
to smile, rcnllzlng for tho first time
the depth of his Interest In my good
will, yet the feeling which swayed me
was not altogether that of pleasure,
lie was uot oue to yield so nulctly, or
to long restrain the words burning bis
tongue, yet I surrendered to my first
In. pulse, ui id extended my band.
"There Is nothing to pardon, SJeur
d'Artlgny," I said frnnkly. "There is
no one to whom I owe more Of cour
tesy than you. I trust you fully, and
believe your word, and In return I
ask the same faith. Under the condi
tions confronting us we must aid each
other. We have both made mistakes
In thus endeavoring to shield one an
other from suspicion, and, as a result,
are both equally In peril. Our being
nlone together here will enrnge Mon
sieur Casslon, nnd be will use all bis
power for revenge. My testimony will
only muke your case more desperate
should I confess what I know, and
you might cast suspicion upon- me"
"Tou do not believe I would."
"No, I do not, and yet, perchance,
It might be better for us both If I
made full confession. I hesitate mere
ly becitu.se Casslon would doubt my
word; would conclude that I merely
sought to protect you. Iiefore others
fair-minded Judges at St. Louis I
-lioiild lmve no hesitancy In telling the
w hole story, for there Is nothing I did
of which I am nshamed, but here,
where Casslon has full authority, such
a confession would mean your death."
"He' believes that you feel Interest
In me?"
"I have never denied It; the fact
which rankles, however, Is his knowl
edge that I feel no Interest whatever
In blm. Itut we wnste time, monsieur.
In fruitless discussion. Our only course
Is a discovery of Hugo Clievet's real
murderer. Know you anything to war
rant suspicion?"
D'Artlgny did not answer at once,
his eyes looking out on the white
crested waters of the ln';e.
"No, niadame," he said nt length
gravely. "The last time Chevet was
seen alive, so far as I now know, was
when he left the boats In company
with Monsieur Casslon to return to the
Mission house. Could there be in y
reason why Ciisslon should desire the
death of Chevet?"
"I know of none. My uncle felt
bitter over the concealment of my for
tune, and no' doubt the two had ex
changed words, but there was no open
uuarrcl. Chevet wns rough and head
strong, yet he was nut killed lu light,
for the knife thrust was from behind."
"Ay, a coward's blow. Cbevct
possessed no papers of value?"
I shook my bend.
"If so, uo mention was ever made
to me. Hut monsieur, you are still
wet, nnd must be cold In this wind.
Why do you not build the fire, aud
dry your clothing?"
"The wind does have no Icy feel,"
he admitted, "hut this Is n poor spot.

fords better outlook for the canoes.
Have you strength now to climb the
bluff?"
"The path did not appear dl.'ucult,
nnd It Is dreary enough here. I will
try."
I did not even require Ids old, nnd
was nt the top nearly as soon as he.
It was a pleasant spot, a heavy forest
growing almost to the edge, but with
green carpet of grass on which oue
could rest, nnd gaze off across the
wide waste of waters. When I flu
ally turned away I found that D'Artl
gny bad already lighted a (Ire with
Hint and steel lu a little hollow within
the forest. He called to me to Join
blm.
"There Is nothing to see." be said.
"ii nd the warmth Is. welcome. You
bad no glimpse of the boHts?"
"No," I admitted. "Do you really

"There was no ' reason why liny

"No." la surprise. "Where are you
going?"
"To learn more of our surroundings
and arrange some traps for wild gamo.
I will not be away long, but someone
should remain here to signal any
canoe returning In search."
I watched hi in disappear among
the trees without regret or slightest
sense of fear at thus being left alone.
The firo burned brightly aud I re-ted
where tbc grateful warmth put new
life Into my body. The silence was
profound, depressing, nnd a sense of
Intense, loneliness stole over me. I
felt a desire to get away from the
gloom of the woods, and climbed the
bank to where I could look out once
more across tho waters.
The view outspread before me re
vealed nothing new; the sumo dread
wnste of water extended to tho hori
zon, while down the shore no move
ment wis visible. As I rested there,
oppressed by the loneliness. I felt little
hope that the others of our party hud
escaped without disaster.
D'Artlgny did not believe Ids own
words; 1 even suspected that he had
gone now alone to explore tho shore
line; seeking to discover the truth and
the real fate of our companions. At
first this conception of our situation
startled me, and yet, strange as It may
seem, my realization brought no dpep
regret I was conscious of a feeling
of freedom, of liberty, sin b as hud not
been mine since we departed from
Quebec. I was no longer watched,
spied upon, my every movement or
dered, my speech criticized. More, I
wns delivered frum the bated presence
of Casslon, ever reminding me that I
wns his wife, and continually threaten
ing to exercise bis authority. Ay, and
t was with D'Artlgny alone with him.

I came to a sudden realization of the
truth I loved him.
