J" CHAPTER H IHie aun was streaming brightly ?to the room when they were awak ?y hy the boy, carrying a tray eggs and toast, coffee and puuras of wild strawberries. He ?rtit down on the table, favored y with a sour grin and with !*ew. _ stared about them, with dif ?y"y taking in, for the moment, the esrcumstances of their arrival __ "Breakfast in bed I Can you beat ??t?" asked Nat. "Gosh, I'm as I as a bear, Mark." i They ate and drank, changed the .amhes in which they had slept for ?m old ones, now dry, looked at each other and laughed. I "Everything I had in the world |Wj" in that old valise," said Nat. "Guess we'll make quite a sensa y in the local dry-goods store, ?tying out their stock. Let's take a Ink-see outside." ltobody was stirring outside the keuae, and the shades of Madeleine Kinross' room were down. In front eg them were more roughly ter waced steps, leading up to the ele l **ti<m of the ridge. At the top, Nat looked about him ?*l whistled. Slowly he moved ?nwnd the compass, taking in the view. And Mark, who had ?ever seen it from that point be ta*, looked about in equal admira But mixed with this was a iPaesionate determination not to be ??led by Broussac, whatever rea ??he might have to allege for his ?mmunication. They were standing at the com mencement of a sort of natural rock ?eidge, about wide enough for two ?eta to pass each other. On either !?? "?* land fell away so sharply ? to convey the impression of tre mendous height. . Behind them was the all-but ?sand on which stood the lighthouse ? the other buildings, with the ~ St. Lawrence beyond, and the ?m outlines of the south shore, hazy ? the far distance. In front of them, ?raggling down to the little har ??, was St. Victor, a mere line m wood shacks. Beyond the little wharf Mark ??? aee the mill, the long flume yL and. higher up, the the St. Victor river, and the ?"'"? still snow-covered, with the peat trees towering over all. Among the schooners was a trim ?otor-yacht, anchored to the head m the wharf. "Some place," said Nat. ||You bet." "How about having it out with Madame Kinross?" *Tve an ide?," said Mark, "that ?roussac's aboard that yacht. I *?wss my wire upset him more than lis letter did me." "If he is, we ought to know soon. ? guess the news of our arrival has ?taady spread to the village." "Let's go down and see. We hold ?c winning hand, so let's play it" Women appeared instantaneously the doors of the shacks. They Mared at the two; one clutched a ?ud as it was about to run toward ta strangers, dragged it to her, and ?rast it, screaming, inside the ?bin. A boy thumbed nose and ?creeched invective. Mark Proves He Can Defend Himself A little group of habitants was terming at the head of the wharf, where they had been mending Ash teg nets or sunning themselves upon tee balks. Within a minute, just as ?ark and Nat had reached the ho tel, a half-circle had been formed steal them, and the mutterings wore becoming curses. Monsieur Hector Mackintosh, the landlord, a thickset, burly man of ?ty, was standing in his shirtsleeves at the hotel entrance. Using a tooth pick vigorously, be failed to recog atee Mark's salutation. ?"You do not seem to remember aae. Monsieur Mackintosh?" asked ?ark, a deceptive softness in his I "No, I do not remember you, who ( soar you are, and my hotel is full," peahil the landlord. The curses had become shouts. The half-circle was beginning to dase in. Things looked ugly for the "What's that they're saying?" ' Jaded Nat Page. If "They're calling us spies and de fa tecthres from Quebec. They think Ete've come to investigate their ?pear before they start for the seal ? teg-grounds," Mark answered. B Tell them we're not detectives I" "Let them find it out," grinned ?ask, and swung about by instinct as a hope man came rushing at him \ . from behind, knife in hand. Next d instant this assailant found his a knife-hand held in a firm grasp, and a his head under Mark's arm, while n Mark's other fist pummeled the im prisoned face until its owner yelled ri for mercy. si Mark flung him away. The two b were completely ringed now, and a lr sudden silence had fallen, ominous y because it was evident that St. Vic- a tor's blood was up, and that it was i< nerving itself for something more a murderous than before. Then suddenly Madeleine Kinross' E clear, high voice rose above the c crowd, and, turning, Mark saw her r standing a little distance away. She t< was wearing a sweater and skirt, ? high boots, a little cap over her dark hair, and it was clear that she n had discovered Mark's and Nat's I absence, and followed them into the li village. n "Leave those two men alonel" ? she cried. "Ah, Louis Larousse," she cried to the big man who had t held the knife, as he stumbled past " her, his hands to his discoloring b face, "you got just what you de served! Are you not ashamed, all , of you, to set upon these two Strang- n ers, who were shipwrecked on the B . d "V p "Some day he will return. I know y It, I feel It." ' point last night, and owe their lives I to a miracle of God?" Down the street in her wake came the portly figure of the cure', who had just received news of the trou- g ble. ? It Seemed to add point to the t girl's outcry. The muttering crowd v drew back and was silent. g "Are you not ashamed of your- t selves, I say?" Madeleine Kinross 1 continued. "They are not spies nor v detectives. I do not know who e spread this stupid story among you. I have told you that they are not, 1 but you will not believe me. r 2 Broussac Becomes r A 'Friendly Enemy' ^ "No, Monsieur Mark Darrell has s leased three thousand arpents of my t lands, and the mill, with which, as & you know. Monsieur Broussac tried I to make some money for me. Mon sieur Broussac leased these lands J, with my approval, before I became j. of age, because?you know, you r know that otherwise all my hus- ; band's seigniory would have gone to the Government for taxes. ( "But since then, Monsieur Brous- 0 sac has made a fortunate specula- t tion for me, and so Monsieur Darrell i will of course release me from the c agreement. a "You know?you know," she went r on passionately, while the crowd lis- I tened in utter silence, "I have never C believed my husband, the seigneur, c died on that ice-floe in the fog. If t he had died, I should know it. I should feel it here." She struck j her hand upon her breast. "Perhaps ? he became insane, and is being de- * tained somewhere by those who are ignorant of his identity. "Some day he will return. I know it. I feel it. And it is my duty, as his wife, to preserve the timber rights on his property Come, am I not speaking rightly? You, Mon sieur La combe"?she turned to the cure'?"am I not right? Do you believe my husband is dead?" The portly cure remained as si lent as the crowd. "I have watched you all. When I say that the seigneur is not dead, you look at me as if I were crazy. But I am not crazy. He will re turn, and I must protect his rights. Therefore"?she turned to Mark? "you will, of course, rescind that agreement that you made with Monsieur Broussac last fall." 'Tin sorry," said Mark, "but I have two other persons to consider besides myself. It is a matter of business investment, and will have to go through." "You?you mean to say you will not? That you will stay here in defiance o>f the wishes of everybody, and try to run that mill?" "Yea." answered Mark, still boil ing over at the thought of his re ception. "I will neither be inttml. a ted nor appealed to. Yea," ha dded, glancing at the gaping laces, nd speaking in French, "I shall re tain here." Suddenly cries arose from the di sction of the wharf. A man came triding along it, a man in a spruce lue suit, with a fur coat with black imb collar. A man of about forty ears, with a trim black moustache, n intelligent face, a lounging, stud td carelessness in his walk?Hor ce Broussac. Still that silence persisted, until Iroussac came up to where Hark onfronted Madeleine Kinross. Ha aised his black lamb cap, and of ;red Hark his hand. Mark saw o reason to refuse to take It. "You gave me a line chase, young san." said the lawyer. "Lucky had a friend who was willing to end me his yacht. And I hear you early got drowned last night into lie bargain." "He says he will not go," said fadeleine, wringing her hands. 'How much money does he need D go, Cousin Horace?" "Which is precisely the point," aid Broussac, speaking in English tow, which Mark could see nobody, ot even Madeleine or the cure, un erstood. He motioned Mark a foot r two away. He shook his finger a kindly reproof. "Legally nobody can deny your ight to the lease I signed with you n behalf of my ward last fall," he aid. "Madame Kinross is now of ige. That does not cancel the ease. But she feels so strongly gainst the intrusion of outsiders nto St. Victor, against the aliens ion of her late husband's lands, hat I am forced to ask you for ? ancellation. "Since the lease was signed, her ortunes have improved through a rise speculation. In brief, Mon ieur, if you had written me, in tead of rushing up here, and near y losing your life, 1 should have ffered you five thousand dollars for he cancellation of that lease." Mark wondered what other pro pec tive lessee Broussac had got, nd how much more he was willing o pay, that he should be willing to sake that offer. ' "I'm sorry?no," he replied. "The ontract stands." Broussac's face grew red. "Un lerstand, Mr. Darrell, I am not to w bargained with," he cried. "If ou are holding put for six, I might ?y six. Not a cent more. Come, ou have lost nothing. What do ou say?" "The lease stands," answered dark. "That's all." "That's your last word?" "It is." Alia now ao you think you art ;oing to run the mill at a profit in hia fishing and sealing country, irhen even X failed? How are you ;oing to operate in the face of the iniversal opposition of these people? They don't want outsiders. They ron't work for you. You'll lose ev erything." "That's your last word?" asked dark. "Then listen to me. I'll un that mill, and if I encounter iny opposition from you, or any nore violence, such as has occurred his morning, I shall hold you per onally responsible, Monsieur Brous ac. I shall likewise take it up with he Bar Association. My backers ire not without influence at Quebec, low it's up to you." Broussac's face was a study in nottled red and white. He began ireathing hard, like a man who has un a race. He watched Mark's ace closely. "Very well," he answered. "Try o run the milL There shall be no ipposition from me, no violence. But ry?only tryl" He raised his voice d French. "Monsieur Darrell has ome here to work the miH, and to hip lumber," he shouted. "If any nan here annoys him in any way, promise him six months in the Juebee jail. Voila! I trust," he :ontinued suavely, "that we shall le friendly enemies, Mr. Darrell?" Jt. Victor Changes ts Attitude "I'm satisfied," said Mark. Un consciously he had turned his eyes ipon Madeleine's face. The con tarnation and anger that he saw here seemed unaccountable for by he situation. Broussac, of course, tad been responsible for her change if mind?but what game was the ihrewd lawyer playing, and what letter offer had he had than the customary stumpage fee that Mark lad agreed to in the contract? The attitude of St. Victor had ompletely changed. Monsieur Hec or Mackintosh, the landlord of he hotel, had suddenly remem lered Mark, and his hotel was not ull after all ?In fact, it was empty. He was all suavity when dark and Nat took up their quar era there late the same after loon, without returning to the light ttuse. Alphonse Vitard, the storekeeper ipposite the hotel, a tall, lean man, rho had formerly followed the sea, ike nearly all St Victor, was the ?ayor. He was most affable.

Oaad. rat ahaU ha Uva. ?John U.S. The miracle# of God, through hi# servant# and the Lord Jeaus Christ, are not mere marvel# or wonder#. They are not for the ad vancement of th# cauae of any man or for personal glory. They are the mighty signs of an omnipotent God wrought for the good of men, for their spiritual enlightenment and as a testimony to the one true God. Jesus is the giver of life; first and most important, of spiritual life, but also of physical life and health. Leaving Samaria after his blessed work there, our Lord went up into Galilee, where he met many simple hearted folk who were ready to believe. Here he was able to work miracle# of healing and of grace. 4-46-M)SiCk 807 Mad" WeU <John A nobleman's son was sick. Ah, yes, affliction and sorrow come to the home of the rich as well as the poor. Death comes to the young as well as the old. In fact, the first grave- dug in this world was for a young man. But it is also true that affliction may be, in God's hand, a means of blessing. This son's sickness sent , . 'ather to Jesus, and resulted ultimately in the salvation of the entire household (v. 53). There I# another helphil lesson here?our Lord's Word is as good as his presence. The man asked Jesus to come, but he sent his word instead. It was accepted, be lieved, slid completely effective. How blessed for us who may not have the physical presence of the Lord to recall the potency of his Word. When he says-ft. believe itf , "? * Lame Han Made Whole (John 5:3-9). Back in Jerusalem at the Feast of Purim, a time of Joy and gift giving, our Lord found his way to the pool of Bethesda where there were misery and disease. His com passionati heart sent him thera to help and to bless. "Impotent folk"-the words well describe not only those who lay helpless about the pool of Bethes da, but they fit us as welL Oh, yes, we are strong, capable, fearless, but only until we meet some great elemental problem. Then we see that we are inded "a great multi tude of impotent folk." The silent fog can paralyze a nation. Death, sicknesa-who can stay their hand? Long familiarity with his weak ness had bred in the man with the Infirmity a sense of despair. Such an attitude invites defeat. It is un becoming to a Christian. Let us not forget in the darkest hour to "keep looking up." v Jesus told the man to "rise and w. . ? the very thing he could 2?. 2 t his 38 years of life, j But when the Son of God speaks to | us he gives the power to respond to I his command. III. A Dead Friend Made Alive (John 11:11-13). The fact that Jesua la our Friend and our Saviour does not exempt . us from human sorrow, but it does | assure us of the needed grace to bear the trial and to trust him even I in life's darkest hour. Lazarus, the friend of Jesus, was sick. The home in which Jesus had found rest and fellowship was in deep trouble. Jesus was no longer In Judea. In haste, word is sent to him of his friend's illness. But he did not come. Why does he delayT Such is the heart cry of thousands today who call on him in their hour of trouble. The purposes of God are beyond our ability fully to understand. We need only to trust him and abide his time. Notice that his failure to respond at once to the message of Lazarus' sisters did not mean that he had deserted them (11:44). Nor did it mean that he had denied them his help (v. 7). Lazarus may have been dead before the word reached him. He may also have delayed in order that there might be no ques tion about the resurrection miracle. And he may have tarried in order that their faith might be strength ened. Above all, do not fan to notice that he came. He always does. Jesus has never failed any child of his. The time and the manner of his answer to our prayers may not conform to our opinion of what should have been done, but let us remember that we know only in part. He knows all. Let us trust him. In Ms darkest hour Job said: "Though he alay' me, yet wiil I trust in him" (Job 13:19). He called Lazarus forth from the sleep of death. Even so be calls sinners iorth from their spiritual death Into glorious eternal life! The lifegiver, our Lord and Saviour, is here now reedy to give life to ev ' eryone who will call on Ms name.
