The fourth afternoon he perceived an excited gathering of women and children some distance from him but paid no attention to it Depressed by fears which had heroine unbearable, he was determined to gain his free- dom before another dawn, alnereaslns cloudiness during the afternoon and a promise of storm with the beginning of evening added to his hope* for sue- cess.

I ran away from Chenufsio three days ago. I have come to tell you Silver Heels Is dead.\ Lightning flashes which accom- panied the storm that night revealed a solitary figure hurrying through the wilderness toward Cnenufsio, a figure which sped until it was winded and then continued at a slower pace with a persistence no beat of rain or blast of wind eould halt The traveler wis Jeems. Wood Pigeon had repeated the message Tolnette entrusted to heir a few min- utes preceding her .flight with Hepsi- bah Adams, and no blackness was so thick .that H hid from him the tor- tured faces ef his wife and Us blind ancle aa they beckoned him to ven- geance. Even vengeance seemed futile and inadequate. Hope did not rise in his breast. He had hoped when he knew his mother was dead, he had hoped as he sought for life among the ruins of Tonteur manor, he had never quite given up hope that his uncle was aJIre, . But now it was impossible for him to find that saving grace within Ws mental reach. As he went on, he was slowly dispossessed of the power to hate, though <every sinew In Ma body wasoent with implieaale resolu- tion In its mission of death. He would kill Tlaoga. Ha would kill Shindas. There would be only Justice and no grettfloation of the flesh or the spirit in hla act A greater and more en- compassing thing than the impulse* Which had sent him from Matozee'r vlllage began to choke him with a force that was sickening. /It was his aioneness. The vastness of the world. The sadden going of the one who had remained to make It habitable for him. Without Tolnette there was no rea- A*on for its existence, no reason why It should continue to give him the warmth, of life. Tolnette was dead. It waa a fate predestined from the beginning, something he had always feared vaguely. .Nothing counted now; to kill Tiaoga and Shindas would not cause a rift In the hopelessness which lay ahead tof blm. He advanced with a speed which would have exhausted him at any other, time- As the hours passed, an explanation for this haste gathered In his consciousness. He was going home. That in' all of its significance was the cabin in which Tolnette and he had lived. Their home. A thing that bad not gone with her body and yet was a part of her which he would find aa he had left it when he came to the end of the trail, unless Tlaoga had destroyed that, too. He reached Chenufsio. The place gleamed with , pools of water. Sus- picions dogs appeared to identify him, but the people were asleep. He found his cabin with the door closed as It would have been If Tolnette were asleep Inside. He could feel her pres- ence when fie en'ered. But she was not there. He made a light cautiously and screened it so that eyes outside could not see. * The floor, the walls, the room were illumined falntlyfc He began to put his hands on things, to gather them here, and there, making a bundle of his treasures on the table— her things. When,he had prepared the the bundle he armed himself with a CHAPTER XII At noon'Of the second day of hist- Journey Jeems Cftme to the village/of Kanestio, whose chief was Matozee, oryellow.

Why he and not a tribal runner had been sent to Yellow Bear puzzled him, and the fact that he bore'a message of small importance increased his uneasiness.

When he reached take Ontario, he tamed eastward, still carylng his bun- dle. At night he slept With It close to his face, breathing the precious in- cense of Tolnette's things. Some- times he held to his lips the piece of red cloth she had worn around her hair. No spring of action encouraged htm to return to Forbidden valley or the Richelieu, and It was chance and not a definite purpose which brought hint to the place on Lake Champlain called Ticonderoga by the Indians. This was late in the summer of 17C6. The French had occupied a point of land and were building Fort Vaudreuil and Fort Carillon. Jeems seized upon these activities with the avidity of one who at last had found something to assuage a killing hanger. He Joined Montcalm's forces and was given a musket and a spade In place of his bow and arrows. He entered now an apprenticeship of digging and building in the earth where the forts were going up. The work and Its environment, the excite- ment of war, and the ever-Increasing news of French victories were a relief to his broken spirits, but they did not thrill him. He fought against this apathy. He-tried to bate once more. He repeated v to himself many times that the English and their Indians were- responsible for the tragedies which had befallen his loved ones. But he could not rise to the passion for vengeance. He wanted to flght he wanted to see the English and their allies overwhelmed,\ but his emotions were as dull as they were implacable. They burned With a fatalistic evenness • which neither triumph nor defeat could raise to great heights or fewer to the depths they had plumbed. Death could never stir him again as it had already stirred him, no shambles could sicken him and no victory bring to him the remotest gladness of the song he had chanted in the firelight at Chenufsio. -* (TO GS CONTINUED.) * 4UULttXkJ L A A A 'A WXl T Bus Passengers Out of Luck in Spanish Town Jibe poorer class of Spain believes that if you cannot catch the man who deserves punishment, the best thing to do- Is to punish some one else, even if vengeance Is exacted upon those who knew nothing about what had happened. , In a, llffle village in th* province of Valencia^ small boy- was knocked down and sightly Injured by a pass- ing automobile. The driver did not stop, but the villagers decided that some one ought to be punished. So they lined up In the main street, un- der command of the magistrate, to pummel the first automobilist who came through. Unluckily, the first car was a big bus. It was halted and the driver and all the passengers were polled out and given a thorough beating. None of them knew what it was. all about, but the punishment was so real that 15 had to be treated by doctors when the bus reached the nearest city and three had to go to a hospital.

Art of Caponizing Is Profitable Operation Poultry rifeers who can spare a little time »f'? 1<J •tody up the art of caponizing. Capons demand a |good price upon 'tie market, and are al- ways in gotd demand. The operation process is wily learned and is so profitable that it pays any poultry- man to try h% hand at It The slips are not lost, and If you kill a few by practicing yea can sell the carcass on the market or use It for home con- sumption. Of course it Is necessary that you hav» proper tools to do this work, but tfcse can be purchased at poultry suppl? stores anywhere.

Missing from home since the Fourth of July.\ And then the had her address and telephone number. Tha paper went to seme people down In the country and they noticed the advertisement. \It is like the stray dog who came to us the morning after the Fourth Of July,** they said. And they telephoned to tha old Iidy. She hardly believed, she hardly dared believe, that it could be truer) She was so afraid,,she would be disap- pointed. A friend came and took her in a motor and they drove way down the country road. {Then they came •to the house where the people lived who said they had a stray dog like Tinrmy. At last they got there and rang the bell! 0 f the house. The farm- er opened the door and when the old lady spoke, with a Timmy.
