"Here's our chance to make up for
some ofour losses." He flipped im-.
patient finger against the paper which
his grandfather was holding.
"In a few days I'd be able to cash
int on some of the popple contracts
with the Tenniscouata folks—they're
short on account of the hang-up—and
then—"
"Then, bla-h-h!" snarled the grand
son. "Blast it! Can't you see how I'm
pulling this stuff on, Wallin? I've been
taking hien out to play—and furnish-
ed the playthings. I have left two
girls on the job, pouring drinks for
him. I've g'ot to get back, I say."
"0 Lord! Good Lord!" whined old
Kezar. "It isn't the way to do busin_
ess! Girls!" '
"Yes, girls! I don't have any trouble
finding plenty -of jolly little helpers in
these parts. I say, it's all right!
You'ge got to get at some of these
fellows in the - right way in order to
do business with `ern."
"The money in your pocket—you
seem to have—"
with the winnowings!"
"You think he- is .good enough for
the best, do you, John?"
Kezar a opened d his mouth, but Kav-
anagh went right on
"But - I stay say, perhaps, far the
best in these parts who are looking for
a- strapping boy, who are not asking
for a lot of brains." -
"But Donald is not a fool, John!"
"No, nor am 1, nor are you! As he
stands—as she stands—he would make
a fine husband for Clare—yes, even
for Clare." ..
Abner Kezar gasped for breath and
twisted in his ;chair.,
"tut that'a, only' if she is to' stay
as she is. Where -she has been made
a fine lady it will be different."
"But they are not any good, none of
them down where shei is going" squeak-
ed Kezar. - .
"They're honest and true up here in
the woods! - They are—"
"Most of 'em rough -necked rene-
gades, and I've- got someof-the traits
myself, Abner. Once in a while -a
fine, strapping boy like your Donald!
But he hasn't had his fling as yet! And
the world is full of fine gentlemen with
brains, and my Clare is a 'good girl and
deserves one of 'em. So she's going
away to be made a lady of! And af-
ter she has been made a lady of—
well, 'then we'll see!"
"Perhaps she will come home and
have the sense to find somebody here"
said Kezar, testing his master's at-
titude toward a second choice as far
as he dared.
"That` shall be the business of Clare
—that is, if 'she shows that her edu-
cation has given her plenty of good
sense; and if it hasn't given•her good
sense, which God forbid, she will need
a keeper instead of a husband, and
mayhap I can find the man for the
two jobs."
Four years later, with the June sun
at his back, Kezar was signing checks,
ready for the scrawling signature of
the master, and was wondering what
the home -coming of Clare Kavanagh
might signify in the$, matter of his
hopes. There was present something
'to give point to his thoughts—when-
ever he raised his eyes from his task
he saw Donald Kezar sitting in the big
chair reserved for the master. But the
chair was not too good for the grand-
son.
Kavanagh, so the appearance of
Donald Kezar testified had a good eye
for the physical .excellanee-.of Hien.
The young mann was in corduroy rid-
ing dress, and his horse, with bridle -
rein, was dozing and blinking at, the
corner of the brick office in the sunt
Kezar had ridden in that morning from
the Portage Beaulieu—he called it
"Potash Bolya" when his grandfather
made inquiry.
From under wrinkled eyelids which
were cocked like little tents the old
man's buttons of eyes surveyed his
grandson" face. There is a certain
kind of meek, sad, silent reproach
which stings more sharply that acrid
speech when conscience offers abrased
surface. Young Kezar endured the
gaze for a few moments then drove
hasty hand into his coat's side pock-
et, and pulled out a crumpled ball of
money. It made a big handful. crowd.. .
ing his fist, ends of bills -sticking be-
tween his fingers. There was almost
menace in the manner in which he
shook that fist at his grandfather. -
"Good God! I don't always lose
when I sit into a game at Old Joel's!"
Abner Kezar winced. Tone and de-
meanor were insultingly cruel.
"Furthermore, it's a place where I
find. men I'm doing business with,"
stated the young man exculpating him-
self. It's a goodplace to do business."
"But doing it over a bottle—it isn't
the right way in these days, my'boy!"
It was only gentle protest. -
"It's all right if you've got the
bottle on your side against the - other

"You don't think that I sat into the
game at . Old Joel's and cleaned up
enough to handle the Wallin hackmat-
ack cut, do you? It's only a wad of
piker stuff—ones and twos. Business
—to business, gran'dad! Inside of ten
days, either in Halifax or Montreal, .I
can turn the thing over and have the
cash right in my fist!"
"But I haven't the cash in my fist"
persisted the old man, twisting on his
stool.
The young man waited a little while
and he tapped finger on one of the
checks - which the man of figures had
been making out. He winked at the
grandfather.
"God -a -mercy, boy, I can't do a
thing like that!" -
"I know all about what the system
is in this; office! t have seen old X.
K. countersign your checks. He'll
n_evar d uE stion, never iook to see just
what it is. There are a doyen others.
' ou kniw he won't ask questions."
"No, but that ,isn't—"
"And 'f you think he might ask
qur;atiens, all you need to do is -hand
me one of those indelible pencils.
'0. K., X. K.'—it's ea -y made. Now
don't look at ine like that! This is
no gamble or steal! We're dealing
with hackmatack sleepers, not stocks!
The money comes back into one hand
almost hilt you're passing it out
With thev other."
"But it's betraying-"
"It's a little short cut for our own
sake—and you know just how many
short cuts John Kavanagh. himself has
made in his day. If you can't do a
little turn for the two of us, after
all my .work in this matter-, I'll feel
like tearing up that option and going
straight to hell."
The threat intimidted the grand-
father; he cowered and looked up at
the big fellow. "Oh, my boy„ I have
been afraid that you have been headed
that way! I have worried so much.
That Portage --it isn't good. for you.
And I have heard stories about other
places. I don't want to believe
them."
"Pay no attention to what the gos-
sips say. Half the time_it's jealously
about a girl or something like that."
The old man beat his hands on the
desk. "Oh, there must be no more
gossip—no more girls, Donald! There
must be no more doing business • as.
you have done it with Wallin!
Donald!" he whispered, eagerly, his
eyes shining. "John Kavanagh's girl -
is coming home from her school,"
"Yes, I hears' she was." The young
man displayed no enthusiasm.
"But I told you what he said—
what he said years- ago about you."
"It never sounded. very encourag-
ing to me!"
"But it was a lot for John Kav-
anagh to say about` any man. And
there's the girl to reckon with, now
that she is corning home. Listen,
Don-ld!" He snapped his head from
side to side like a frightened bird
,reassuring itself. He spoke in a low- 1
er whisper. "It has- all -meant so
much to me—it has been my dream 1
for. you—I have thought so long a- 1
bout it that rhave played the sneak.
Yes, I have! -I confess! But I'll tell
you so that you may know how hard,
I have tried to help! When Kava- I
nigh has been up -country I have
opened her lettere before I sent 'em
along to him! There they were, in
the mail! They tempted me! If
she had picked one of the gents, as
he had hoped, she would be writing
to John about him, eh? I couldn't
help wanting to find out—to make
sure! But she has never }mentioned
a man, Donald.. Not a man! She's
coming back here." He was panting
with haste _and eagerness. "I- have
felt that she was meant for you. She
always liked to talk with you. You
remember she did. If you go after
her now, you can get her! But you've
got to go after her right. You've
got to be right yourself. All this
gossip--"
"I'm not sd damnably sure that I
want to go after her," broke in the
young man, and then he was able to
go on with his depreciation of Clare
because the little- old man,' aghast on
hie stool, could not get back his voice.
I have let you talk o n about her In
the past because I didn't take much
interest, one way or the other. But
I know what she must be by this
time. Those schools do it to ern!"
"And you Won't try to get her?"
pleaded the 'grandfather, tremulously.
"Let's wait till she lands here. I'll
see what she's like," loftily answered
the bravo among the,borded beauties.
"But unless you are ' careful -=dis-
creet! .If she hears the gossip! Oh,
Donald, I know you are not what?
their slanderous tongues say you are.
I don't believe it of my boy! A
young man must have his fun. But
no more! Oh, I beg that you'll let
her see you as you really are—your
own best self! You - wiIl ,eh?"
Young Kezar meditated,, giving his
grandfather full stare. "I'll tell you
what I'll do, gran'dad! We'll make
sort of a gamble of it, the two of us.
Will you come halfwaywith m
e ?
"
"I'11 help. I'll do all I can. It's
my dream!"
"Well, I'll lay off the Rovin' Robbie
stuff, such as it has been. I give you
my word on it. - It's quite a promise,
too, for a. man of my age with as
many friends as I have in these parts.
Now I'm not going to ask much of
anything of you for your part."
"But I want to do all I can!"
Again young Kezar tapped finger
on one of the checks. "All you've
got to do is to slip that deal over,
as I have suggested. Then I'll have
a few thousands loose in my pockets
when I am called on to do the grand
before the Lady Clare."
"I can't!"
The grandson tossed his arms over
his head and snjapped his fingers.
"Oh, very well! I'll go back to Port-
age Beaulieu and see how the girls
are coming on with Tom Wallin," He
started to walk out.
"You say you are not asking me
for much! I have already been a
sneak for your sake, Donald. Now you
are asking me to steal."
"You are giving a mere little whirl
in finance a big name, gran'dad!"
"I'll be a thief until that money is
turned back!"
"Well, I'll be something that won't
smell nice under the nose of the Lady
Clare when, she blows into the Toban.
All- right! Let it stand that way!"
Again he started on his retreat.
He was outside, untwisting a stir-
rup strap and getting ready to mount,
when his grandfather thrust his head
out of the nearest window; the seam-
ed face was gray. "Wait boy! Wait
a monlent!" - -
"It isn't a matter that can wait."
"I only ask you to wait till I can
steady my hands. I'll—" He did
not dare to put in words what he
proposed to do; he nodded his head.
"You're making too much of a stew
over what's merely a minor thing.
gran'dad," stated young Kezar, com-
ing to the window. "He'll never know
it has been done; it's only' ten days.
When _ are you going to slip those
checks to -him for then O. K.?"
"I'm going up to the house right
away. This is the day he starts
down -country." -
"Oh, yes! 'To see Clare step out
with the best of 'em!' They're sing-
ing that around here nowadays."
{'It's a terrible thing! It's a ter-
rible -thing!" moaned the old man. Al-
ternately he stroked one hand with
the other as if the hands were some-
thing epart from hixxt, frightened
creatures whom he strove to quiet
Getou nerve! r rte rve
! Keep it with
you! I'll go along up to the house

kind! He's - so busy thinking of his

There's nothing. to it!"
"There's shame to it! Guilt and
shame to itI muttered the man of
figures,' hobbling - back to his desk.
- He . steadied himself and wrote, the
passion of his hopes for his grandson
forcing Min to an act which - smeared
with the red seal` of betrayal - the
honor of long ,years of service. But
between the•, two compelling forces,
impulse of bgsiness integrity and spur
of family loyalty, he had fallen victim
to the dominating presence of his
grandson,
backed by that threat to
return to ways which would wreck
all the fond hopes the old man had
cuddled through many years'
They walked up the hill to Kava-
nagh's house, the young man leading
the( horse.
`You're not going to commit a mur-
der! Smooth out your faces"
But the old man moaned as he limp-
ed along. Father Pierre Laflamme
overtook them before they reached the
top of the hill, for their progress was
slow on acco,int of the grandfather's
infirmity. The little priest carried a
satchel and his shoes had a shine
which flashed back the rays of the
bright sun, and he dabbed at his -fore-
head with a handkerchief =which he
had not yet ventured to unfold, so
perfectly had it been laundered by
the pains of Dame Barbe, vigilant.
and domineering keeper of his house.
Father Pierre usually went about
with his dusty cassock flapping at his
heels. His black coat and his new
hat, the satchel, and his air of wist-
ful, rather apprehensive, suppressed
excitement attracted young Kezar's
patronizing attention. -
"Going far ?" There was a trace
of insolence in the question.
"It will be far for ine, because I
have been so long in this village I
have almost forgotten how the world
outside appears. But I go with much
joy. It is a fine compliment, my son,
to be asked to go with him to see
a good daughter receive her honors."
The priest did not name persons or
occasion; for him, the importance of
the affair made particulars unneces-
sary.
rY.
"I suppose the schools make fine
ladies of 'em!"
"Truly yes, my son!"
"How about spoiling 'em?"
".It is not possible that a grand
education would spoil a 'girl like Clare
Kavanagh." -
"The Toban is good enough for me
and it's good enough for you, Father
Laflamme. But she'll probably come
backhere with her nose hi the air,
all high and mighty."
"She will know much, aid that will
be gbod for all of us," declared the
priest, "It may be that all this will
seem too little for her,Nefter knowing
the wide world. But hire . may find
her duty to lie here. With education,
sh
e can takesome of ogle

"Keep his books for him?" queried
then young man, wrinkling his nose
with a sneer. "My grandfather does
