Aiter an ineffectual attempt to enter into conversation with &im, in which hardly a word was muâ€" tually intelligible, Hilary gave up the effort and started up the hill road which led, be surmised, toward the lumber mill. The whole settlement was gathered shout the shores of the little bay. Beâ€" youd it were the mountains, Op elther side the forestâ€"clad hills, broken, on the east. by an inlet, and on the west by the deep cleft of the Rocky river, whose mouth, closed by a boom, was a coungested mass of logs.

The idea of any personal {fiâ€" feeling on the Selgnour‘s part or @a that of his family kad not occurred to him.

Lafe was a bad crossâ€"questioner, and the task put upon him by Brousseau was not only uncongenial but imposâ€" sible for a man of his temperament. Uowever, be made a valiant attempt to draw Hilary out. "You‘re thinking of spending some time here, Mr. As kew?" he asked. "I‘ve come to take charge. I‘m going to stay," sald Hilary. Lafe looked at him curiousiy. What sort of a man could this be who chose of his volition to reside in St. Bont face? "I guess you‘ll change your mind when you‘ve seen it a little longer," he said Incredulously. "On the contrary,. Mr. Connell, 1 mean to take hold, and I mean to make it pay.

On this point Lamartinre had clearly and defâ€" nitely lied to him. â€" s "Too much fir on the property?" be asked. "Why, there is some fir," conceded Lafe. "But there‘s some good spruce along the Rocky river," he added again oblivious of @s*irstructions. "I saw a good pile in the river." "Why, that ain‘t our cuttingâ€"not much of it," said Lafe. "Most of that comes from the Stc. Marle limits." "Where is Ste. Marie?" f "Ste. Maric‘s two miles along the coast, beyoud our settlement," said Lafe. "Most of our hands come from there.

"What I want to know,"*said Hilary, "is, what this company is that you speak about, and bow they come to use the Rocky riverefor their logs." Lafe hesitated, but only for a mo ment. Then he mentaliy cast Brous seau to the winds; for, after all, if Hilary meant to know, nobody could prevent it, Brousseau‘s instructions potwithstanding. "It‘s this way, Mr. Askew," he said. "Mr. Morris and Mr. Brousscau have n‘ company of their own. Their limits touch ours on the west, across the river, and run ten miles or so back Into the bush, right alongside ours. They got the right to float their logs down the river." "And use the mill?" "Mr. Morris leases the use of our mill by the year to the company." Hilary was stagzered for the moâ€" ment. Morrls, as his uncle‘s manager, teasing the mill to Morris, a partner in Brousseau‘s company, seemed a queer role. theirs?" asked I!lary presently. "Oh, that nin‘t hard," said Lafe. *You see, the jobhers. who sublease the tracts, know how much their men have cut. And it‘s scaled in the woods before they shoot it down stream.

Hilary‘s suspiclons, dormant even after the intervlow with Lamartine, were now thoroughly aroused. "And Mr. Droussean has no concern with us, except for the lease of the mill and the risttâ€"ofâ€"way down the river," mused iTCary.
