first. Montcalm, fiery, impetuous, and
honourable, was at variance with
Vaudreuil• who, though honest him-
self, had never dared to make open
stand against Bigot. When Mont -
calm came, practically taking the
military command out of the hands
of the Governor, Vaudreuil developed
a singular jealous spirit against the
General. It began to express itself
about the time I was thrown into the
citadel dungeon, and I knew from
what Alixe had told me. and from
the gossip of the soldiers that there
was a more open show of disagree-
ment now.
The Governor. seeing how ill it was
to be at variance with both Mont
calm and Bigot. presently began to
covet a reconciliation with the latter,

daring and effrontery which must ul-
timately bring disaster. This he
knew, but it was his plan to hold on
for a time longer, and then to retire
before the axe fell with an immense
fortune. Therefore, about the time
set for my execution, he began to
close with the overtures of the Gov-
ernor, and presently the two formed
a confederacy against the Marquis
de Montcalm. Into it they tried to
draw Doltaire, and were surprised to
find that he stood them off as to any-
thing more than outward show of
friendliness.
Truth was, Doltaire, who had no
sordid feeling in him, loathed alike
the cupidity of Bigot and the in-
competency of the Governor, and re-
spected Montcalm for his honour
and reproached him for his rashness.
From first to last he was, without
show of It, the best friend Montcalm
had in the province; and though he
held aloof from bringing punishment
to Bigot, he despised him and his
friends, and was not slow to make
were at every footstep. Danger gave
a piquancy to his existence, Perhaps
he did not greatly value Maclaine
Cournal's admiration of himself; but
when it drove Bigot to retaliation,
his imagination got an impulse, and
he entered upon a conflict which ran
parallel with the war, and with that
delicate antagonism which Alixe
waged against him, long undiscover-
ed by himself.
At my wits' ends for news, at last
I begged my jailer to convey a mes-
sage for me to the Governor, asking
that the barber be let come to me.
The next day an answer arrived in
the person of Voban himself, accom-
panied by the jailer. For a time there
was little speech between us, but as
he tended me we talked. We could
do so with safety, for Voban knew
English; and though he spoke it
brokenly, he had freedom in it, and
the jailer knew no word of it. At first
the fellow blustered, but I waved hint
nff. He was a man of better educa-
tion than Gaborcl, but of inferior
judgment and shrewdness. He grade
no trial thereafter to interrupt our
talk. but sat and drummed upon a
stool with his keys. or loitered at the
window, or now and again thrust his
hand into my pockets, as if to see if
weapons were concealed in them.
"Voban." said I, "what has happen-
ed since I saw you at the Intend-
ance? Tell me first of mademoiselle.
You have nothing from her for me?"
"Nothing," he answered, "There is
no time. A soldier come an hour ago
with an order from the Governor,
and I must go all at once. So I come
as you see. But as for the ma'm'selle,
she is well. Voila, there is no one like
her in New France. I do not know all,
as you can guess, but they say she
can do what she will at the Chateau.
It is a wonder to see her drive. A

Voban paused a moment, then add-
ed quietly, "How do you think I bear

Crop Conditions In Ontario
Very frequent rains during June,
combined with fairly low temperat-
ures, resulted in excellent develop-
ment of over winter crops. The fig-
ures for pasture and hay and clovers
represents the best condition in
years for these crops at July 1st.
Fall wheat promises a good yield, but
with the heavy growth quite a few
fields have lodged. Cutting of wheat
will be under way in the earlier coun-
ties the week of July 15th. (luring of
hay was practically impossible dur-
ing June, and considerable spoilage
occurred in the early cut ileitis. Gen-
erally, however, the cutting of hay
crops was delayed until July when
the weather cleared up, says the
monthly crop report of the Ontario
department of agriculture.
The cool wet weather delayed the
completion of seeding of spring
grains to the extent that a consider-
able acreage intended to be planted
to these crops had to be heeded to
buckwheat and other late crops or
