CHAPTER XIV Continued.
In a wuy I must hitve knnn-n this
before, yet, not until tlmt moment
dKI tiie fuct duwn upon (up In full
acknowledgment. I s.mk tu; bend on
my hand, my breath quickened hy
surprise, by sh.-ime. tin 1 f 'It my cheeks
burn. I loved liltn. and believed bp
Viwl me. I knew tlien tlmt n 1 1 the
happiness of life centered In Ms one
fact; while iK-twpen us arose the
sliailow of Citssi'in. my liuli:iud. True
I loved bitn not: true I was to liltn
wife only In name, true our marriage
was a thing of slmme. jot no less a
fift. no less a harrier. I was a Iji
nienayne to whom honor was a re
ligion: a Catliolie bonlnj bunihly to
be row of Holy church; a rrernh
woman Mu'lit that marriage was a
acred rite.
The knowledge of my love f.ir f'Ar
flpny brought nie more fear than
pleasure. I dare not dreanj. or hope:
I must escape his presence while I
rrtalned moral strength to resist temp
tation I cot to my feet, not knowlu2
wlutt I could do, yet with a wild con
ception of returning to the bench, and
nceekini: to find u passage southward.
I would po now alone the shore. Iiefore
T'Art!gtiy came buck, and meet those
returning canoes. In such action lay
my only saf. ty he would find me

I uk down out of sli-ht. yet my de

was Innocent I had no doubt. I love I
h!n. this I no longer denied to mye!f;
and I could not possibly betray the
man to the mad vengeance of Cushion.
I peered for'h. across the rl.'i:e of

away for nu to l, certain of lis oi-cit

covered the coals, until they were com
pletely extinguished. Then I crept back
to the bluff summit and lay down to
watch.
The canoe rounded the curve In the
shore and headed straight across
toward where I rested In concealment

which we had landed to observe the

this witli an intense feeling of relief

I could see now clearly the faces

dians, and the three white men. all

they swept past, n soldier In the bow.
and I'ere Albums and Cnsslon at the
tern, the latter standing, gripping the
leering paddle. The sound of his
rasping, disagreeable voice reached nie
first.
"This la the spot." he exclaimed,
pointing. "I saw that headland iust

COri-MT
Thpy rounded the point, the pere
talking earnestly, but the ennoe ao far
away I could not overhear bin words.
Cusslon paid mall heed to what he
urged, but. at lust, angrily bade liltn
be si 1 11. ami. after a glance Into the
narrow bnslu beyond, swung the bow
of the canoe about and headed It
southward, the relurn course further
off shore. The Indians paddled with
renewed energy and In a few mo
ments they were so fur away their
faces were Indistinguishable, aud I
ventured to alt on the bank, my gaze
still on the vanishing canoe.
So Intent was that I heard no
sound of upproachlng foosteps, nnd
knew nothing of D'Artlguy'a presence
until be apoke.
"What la that yonder a canoe?"
I started, shrinking back, suddenly
realizing what I had done, and the
construction be might place upon my
action.
"Yes." t answered faintly, "It It
Is a canop."
"I'.ut It la bended south; It la going
away," be paused, gazing Into my
face. "Iiid It not come this far!"
"Yes. monsieur; but listen. No. do
not touch me. Perb-ps It waa all
wrong, yet I thought It right 1 lay
here hidden from view and wntdied
Ihem: I extinguished the tire no they
could not see the smoke. They came
so near I could hear their voices, and
distinguish their words, yet I let theiu
pass."
"Who were In the canoe?"
"Besides the Indiana. Cnsslon. Tere
Allouez nnd the soldier Descartes. Do
you rpnli.e. monsieur, why I chose to
remain unseen? Why I have done
what must seem an unwomanly act?"
"No, inadaaie. yet I cannot deem
your reason an uuworthy one yet
wait: could It be fear f-jr my life?"
"It waa that, and that only, mon
sieur. The truth came to me In a
flash when I first perceived the can e
approaching yonder. I felt that hate
rather than love urged Cnsslon to
make search for ua. I feel I liHve
chosen right, monsieur, and yet I must J
trust you to never cause me to regret
that I atu the wife of Monsieur Cus
slon." 'Id my surprise Ids face brightened,
his eyes smiling, us be bowed tow
before me.
"Your confidence shall not be be
trayed, madame." he said gallantly.
"I pledge you my discretion what
ever circumstnnces may arise. Tuere
Is no cur In the D'Artlgny strain, and
I fight my own battles. Some day I
shall be face to face with Francois
Casslon, and If then I full to strike
home It will be memory of your faith
which restralus my hand. And now I
rejoice that I cun make your sacnUc
less grievous."
"In what way, monsieur?"
"In that we are no longer entirely
alone In our wilderness adventure I
have fortunately brought back with me

CHAPTER XV.
We Decide Our Course.
I accepted D'Artlgny'a outstretched
band, and permitted liltn to assist me
tlowu the hank. The new arrival was
Just within the edge of the forest.

Lay Down to Watch.
bending' over a freshly kindled (Ire,
barely commencing to blaze, and be
si.le hi in ou the grass lay a wild fowl,
already plucked of Its feathers. So
Intent was the fellow at his task, he
did not even lift his bead until ruy
companion hailed hlui.
"Uurueuu, bete Is the lady of whom
I spoke the wi of Monsieur Caa
alou." He stood up and made me a salute
as though I were an odlcer. as odd a
looking little man as ever I bud aeon,
with a small, peaked face, a mop of
black bulr, and a pair of shrewd, hu
morous eyea. Ills dress wus that of
a courier da bo Is. with uo trace of
uniform inrs the blue forage cap
gripped In one baud, yet he stood stiff
as If on parade. In spite of his strange,
uncouth appearance there wna thai lu
bis face which won my favor, and I
held nut hit band.
tr A C Atiav CO
"You are a soldier of France, Mon
sieur d'Artlgny tells me."
"Yes, madame, of the regiment
Carlgnan-Salllers," be answered.
"I wonder have you served longT
My father was nn ofllccr In that com
mand Captain la Cuesnnyue."
The expression on the man's face
changed magically.
"You the daughter of Cnptnln la
Chesnayne," he exclaimed, the worda
bursting forth uncontrolled, "nnd mar
ried to Cnsslon! bow cod this he?"
"You knew him then my father?"
"Ay. madame; I waa with him at
the Itlchclleu. at the village of the
Mohawks; and at Bols le Blanc, where
he died. I am Jacques Harheau. a
soldier for 20 years; did he Dot apealc
to you of me?"
"I was but a girl when he was
killed, nnd we seldom met. for he was
usually on campaign. Yet what do
you mean by thus expressing surprise
nt my marriage to Monsieur Cnsslon?"
lie hesitated, evidently regretting
bis Impulsive speech, and glancing
from my face Into the stern eye of
D'Artlgny.
"Monsieur, madame, I spoke hastily;
It was not my place."
"Thi.t may be true, Rarbeau." re
nlled the Sleur grimly, "yet the words
have been said, and the lady has
right to have them explained. Was
here quarrel between her father aud
this Francois Casslon?"
"Ay. there was, and bitter, although
I know nothing as to the cause. Cns
slon and La Bnrre he whom 1 now
hear Is governor of New France
were alike opposed to Captain la Ches
nayne. and but for reports they made
he would have been the colonel. He
struck Cnsslon In the mess tent, and
they were to fight the very morning
the Iroquois met us at Bols le Blanc.
'Twas the talk of the men that the
rnn'nln was shot from behind."
"By Casslon V
'That I cannot sny; yet the bullet
entered behind thp eaf. for I was first
to reach him. nnd he had no other
enemy In the Regiment Carlgnan-Sal-Hers.
The feeling against M. Cas
slon was so strong that he resigned In
a few months. You never heard this?"
I could not answer, but stood silent
with bowed head. I felt D'Artlgny
place his hand on my shoulder.
"The lady did not know." he said
pmvely. as though he felt the neces
sity of an explanation. "She was at
school In a convent at Quebec, and no
rumor reached her. She la thankful
to you for what yon have said. Bar
beau, and can trust you a her fnther's
friend and comrade. May I tell him
the truth, madame? The man may
have other Information of value."
I looked at the soldier, and his eyes
were crave and honest
"Yes." I answered, 'It can do no
harm "
D'Artlgny's hand was still on my
shoulder, but his glance did uot seek
my face.
"There Is some low trick here. Rar
beau," he began soberly, "but the de
tails are not clear.v Madame has
trusted me as a friend, and confided
all she knows, nnd I will tell the facta
to von as I understand them. False
reports were made to France regard
ing Captain In Chesnayne. We have
not learned what they were, or who
made them, but they were so serious
that Louis, by royal decree. Issued or
der that his estates revert to the
crown. Later l.a Chesnayne'a friends
got the enr of the king, no dnnht
through Frontenac. ever loyal to him,
and by royal order the estates were
restored to his ownership. This order
of restoration reached Quebec soon
after La Barre was appointed gov
ernor, and was never made public. It
wna suppressed by someone, and La
Chesnayne was killed three months
later, without knowing that be had
won the favor of the king."
"But Casslon knew; he was ever
hand In glove with La Barre."
"We have cause to suspect ao. and
now, after listening to your tale, to
believe that Captain la Chesnayne's
death was part of a carefully formed
plot. By accident the lady here
lea'ned of the conspiracy, through
overhearing a conversation, but was
discovered by La Barre hiding behind
the curtains of hla ofllee. To keep
her quiet she was forced Into mar
riage with Francois Casslon. and bid
den to accompany him ou this Journey
to Fort St. Louis."
"I see," commented Rarbean
shrewdly. "Such man-lane would place
the property In their control by law.
Had C.inslou aought marriage previ
ously?" v
Ills eyes were upon me as he asked
the question, aud I answered blin
frankly.
"He vlsl;ed often at the home of
my uncle. Hugo Chevet. and. while
he never spoke to me directly of mar
riage. I was told he desired me for
his wife, and at the palace he so pre
sented me to Monsieur la Barre."
"On pledge of Chevet. no doubt.
Your uncle knew of your fortune."
"No; be supposed me penniless; he
thought It a great honor done me by
the favorite of the governor'a. 'Twas
my belief he expected aome reward
for persuading nie to accept the offer."
"And thla Chevet what became of
bitn?"
"He accompanied us on the Journey,
also upon order of .Monsieur In Bnrre,
who, no doubt, thought he would bo
safer In the wilderness than In Que
bec. He was murdered at St Isnuce."
"Murdered?"
"Ay. struck down from behind with
a kill's. No one knows who did It.
but Cnsslon has charged the crime
ngnlnst Sleur d'Artlgny, and circum
stances are smb be will find It diffi
cult to prove hla Innocence.''
The soldier stood silent, evidently
reviewing lu hla mind all that had
been told him, bis eyea narrowed Inti
slits as be gazed thoughtfully at us
both.
"Bab!" be exclnlmed at Inst, "the
riddle ts not so hard to read, al
'hough, no doubt, the trick has been
well played. I know Governor la
Barre, and thla Francois Casslon, for
I have served onder both, while Mon
sieur la Chesnayne was my captain
and friend. May I tell you what In
my Judgment, seems best for you to

"Monsieur, you re French ol
dler." I answered, "an educated man,
also, and my father'! friend. I will
listen gladly."
Ills eyea smiled, and be awept the
earth wltb bla cap.
"Then my plan Is this leave Mon
sieur Casslon to go his wsy. and let
me be your guide southward. I know
the trails, and the Journey Is not diffi

enemy to La Salle, although he serves

Fort St. Louis, where De Tonty knows
how to protect his officers. Faith! I
would like to see Francois Casslon try
to browbeat that one-armed Italian
'twould be one time be would meet
his match."
D'Artlgny laughed.
"Ay, you are right there, my friend
I have felt the Iron book, and wit
nessed how he wins his vny with
white and red. Tet be Is no longer In
command at Fort St. Louis; I brlns
him orders now from Sleur r Is
Salle bidding blin not to Interfere
with the governor's lieutenants. 'TIs

we must reckon."
"True, he his control, and men
enough, with Casslon'a party, to en
force tits order. And he la a hot-head
conceited, and holding himself a bit
better than others, because he bears
commission In the King's Dragoons.
"TIs snld that be and De Tonty have

came; but he dare not go too far.
There are good men there, ready to
draw swore If It ever come to blows
De Tonty, Rolsrondet L'Esplrflnee.
De Mnrle. and the Algonqulus camped
on the plain below. They would be
tigers If the Italian spoke the word:
while I doubt not M. de la Durantnye
would, throw his Influence on the aide
of mercy; he has smnll love for the
cnptnln of dragoons."
I spoke quickly, and before D'Ar
tlgny could voice decision.
"We will accept your guidance,
monsieur. It la the best choice, nnd
now the only one. for the time Is past
when we can expect the return of
the canoes. Can we not at once begin
the Journey?"
It was an honr later, after we had
eaten, that we left Ihe bluff, and
turned westward Into the grent woods.
Rnrhenu led the way. moving along
the bank of small stream, and I
followed, with D'Artlgny close be
hind. As we had nothing to carry,
except the soldier's ride and blanket,
we made rapid progress, and In less
than half an hour we came to the
Indian trail, which led southward
from Green Bay to the headwaters of
the Des Plaints.
It was late In the afternoon of the
second day when we arrived at the
forks of the Chicago river. There was
a drizzle of rnln In the air, and never
saw I more desolate spot; a bare,
dreary plain, and away to the east
ward glimpse of the lake.
A hut of logs, a mere shack scarcely
fit for shelter, stood on a slight emi
nence, glvln? wide view In every di
rection, but It was unoccupied, the
door alar. Rarbenu. In advance,
stared at It In surprise, gave utter
ance to an oath, and ran forward to
peer within. Close behind him, I
caught . glimpse of the Interior, my
own heart heavy with disappointment.
If this miserable place had been
the headquarters of M. de la Drran
taye, evidently It was ao no longer.
Not vestige of occupancy remained,
save rotten blanket on the floor, and
a broken bench In one corner. Rude
bunks lined two walls, and a table
hewed from a log stood In the center
of the dirt floor. On this was a paper
pinned to the wood by a broken knlfc
blflde. Rarbenu grasped It. and rend
the writing, handing It back to me.
It wns a acrnwl of a few words, yet
told the whole story.
"Francois Casslon, under commis
sion of Governor la Barre. arrived
with party of soldiers and Indians.
At his orders we accompany the force
to Fort St. Louts.
"DE LA DTJRANTAYE."
"Perhaps It Is as well," commented
D'Artlgny lightly. "At least as far as
my good health goes; but 'Us like to
make a bard Journey for you, ma
dame." "la It far yet until we attain the
fort?"
"A matter of twenty-flve leagues; of
nn moment bad we a boat In which to
float downstream, but the trull, as I
remember. Is rough."
"Perchance there may 'be boat."
Intercepted Rarbeau. "There was the
wreck of an Indian ennoe a mile be
low here on the Des Phillies, not so
damaged as to be beyond repair, nnd
here Is a hatchet which we will find
useful." He stooped and picked It up
from under the bench. "One thing Is
certain 'tis useless to remain here;
they have left the place as bare as
desert 'TIs my choice that we make
the Des Plalnes before dark."
The Des Phillies was a narrow
stream, flowing quietly through prai
rie tnim. although bordered along Its
shores by a thin fringe of trt-es.. We
moved down along it eastern bank
for perhaps a half league, when we
came to the edge of swamp and
made camp. D'Artlgny built a flro.
and prepared my lent of boughs, while
Rarbeau waded out around o polut In
search of the wrecked canoe. Up
came back Just at dusk towing It be
hind bim through the shallow water,
and the two men managed to drug It
far enough up the bank to enable the
water to drain out Later, aided by
a flaming torch, we looked It over, and
decided the canoe could be made to
flout again, it required two days'
work, however, before we ventured
to trust ourswlrc to lu safoly.
But the down of the third day n
us afloat on the sluggish current, the
two men plying Improvised paddles
to Increase our apeed, while I busied
myself in keeping the frail craft free
from water by constant us of tin
cup. Both men believed there was peace
In the valley, except for the jealousy
between the white factions at Fort 8t
Louls, and that the various Algonquin
tribes were living quietly In their vil
lage under protection of the Rock.
D'Artlgny .described what a wonder
ful sight it waa. looking down from
the high palisades to the broad mead
ows below, covered with tepees, and
alive with peaceful Indian. He
named the tribes which bad gathered
there for protection, trusting In La
Snlle. and believing De Tonty their
friend llllnl, Shawnees, Abenakles.

and ninny difficulties experienced, we

of our arrival at thla spot was enrly In

Fort St. Louis was situated acaree ten
miles below, our long Journey eeemed
nearly ended. We anticipated reach

of my fear of the reception awaiting
us, my heart was light with hope aud
expectation.

WHEN FOES MEET IN AIR
German Lieutenant Tell of Engage
ment In Which French Aviator
Lost Their Live.
"One afternoon n French flyer ap
peared," snya a German lieutenant.
"It circled over Doun union t nnd then
rose high above the clouds. For n long
time It seemed to be Just hanging In
the air. And then from our aide there
arose a buzzing, a llerce sharp buz
zing, and it made straight like a bee
Hue for the little French flyer. It
went through the clouds und disap
peared. Nothing could be seen. The
clouds covered all. Five minutes of
suspense passed, nnd (hen n shot, nnd
after thnt a roaring. We wnltcd
breathlessly, and then two little black
spots were seen breaking through the
clouds. Tiny little spots, nnd these
spots were the two French aviators.
They grew bigger us they full. A mo
ment after the men came the flaming
machine. It came down roaring und
crashing. Its wings were yet on tire,
nnd the red, white and blue of the
trl-cnlnrs looked like a revolving
American barber pole. Everything
crushed to the earth, n hopeless man
gled mnss. Again a spot broke through
the clouds. It came swift nnd straight,
without nny spectacular sho.vlng. It
was Iioelke returning home."

TO hol4 "its place in the sun," is the avowed purpose
of a great nation's conflict. To hold "its place in
the sun," is the object of every business in the great
fight for industrial and commercial supremacy.
To be able to hold "its place in the sun," is the supreme
test of an asphalt rbef. It is the sun, not rain or snow,
that plays havoc with a roof. If it can resist the drying
out process of the sun beating down upon it, day after
day, the rain or snow will not affect it except to wash
it clean and keep it sanitary.
Certain-teed
Roofing
takes "its place In the tun" and holds it longer
than other similar roofing, because it it made
of the very best quality roofing felt, thoroughly
saturated with the correct blend of soft asphalts,
and coated with a blend of harder asphalts.
This outer coating keeps the, inner saturation
soft, and prevents the drying out process so
destructive to the ordinary roof.
The blend of asphalts used by "The General"
is ihe result of long experience. It produces
a roofing more pliible than those which have
less saturation, and which are, therefore,
harder and drier.
At each of the General's big mills, expert
chemists are constantly employed to refine
test and blend the asphalts used; also to experi
ment for possible improvements. Their constant
endeavor is to make the best roofing still better.
The quality of CERTAIN-TEED is such that
it is guaranteed for S, 10 or IS years', according
to thickness (1, 2 or 3 ply). Experience proves
that it lasts longer. Behind this guarantee is the
responsibility of the world's largest manufac
turer of roofings and building papers.
