If Heaven had not sent Paul Farrar, and my very good 'friend, M. Desereaux, last night, Rene would never have seen morning." Dr. Macdouald's voice breaks—ho turns and walks to the window. He is a tall, stooping, gentle -looking old man, with silvery hair, and beard,and face, and eyes soft, gray, and wistful, exactly „Heaven grant it. If we can but get them home before the dear old doc- tor returns-----" He interrupts himself again, too an- xious to put his thoughts into words. The daylight is rapidly fading out, a brilliant night is beginning, moonlit, starlit, calm. The sea runs high ; they can hoar,long before they approach, the thunder of the surf at the base of Chapeau Dieu; but the men who bend to the oars with such right goodwill are men who will effect a landing, if landing he within the limit of possibility. Sugar Scoop, too, when they reach it, seems fairly free of reefs and rollers. They steer with care; a great in -washing wave carries them with it, up and in on its crest .Two of then spring out, up to their waists in the water, and draw the big Boat high and dry on the sands. The landing is effected. "And no such troublesome matter after all," remarks M. Desereaux. " These fellows know their business they are boatmen born. Now to find the children. Here is the path M.
