It was not the nature of the _folks of . the .Toban to throw John Kavanagh'*; bounty . in his dead face. Reflecting on the matter, Kenneth Marthorn understood better; the af- fair lost considerable of its 'grotesque- ness. It was simple loyalty, follow- ing the dietatea'of the man whom they had so long -obeyed. , After the hearsay of the night be-. fore, looking ahead, the plans for the obsequies had seemed fantastic and -so contrary to custom as to lack the elements of good taste. But,whent he looked on, standing respeetfulljr with his little group on the porch of the tavern, he found pathetic • solemnity in the affair. The funeral of John Kavanagh had a peculiar dignity, suiting the man and his people. Down the hill from the mansion came the cortege, moving' very slow- lyThe band which led the way intoned the solemn strains of Chopin'a 'Funer- al March. The musie+ians had been summoned, from a far city and the organization was a framed one. When the muted cornets voiced the weird wail of' the wonderful melody, above the doler of the moaning basses, the - spell of the music and of the scene took possession of Marthorn. He shook his head when one ` of his men asked a question; he choked and was not abe to speak. When the music came abreast the tavern porch tears sparkled in his eyes and he was obliged to stroke them • away in - order to see ; Clare Cavanagh clearly. She sat very erect on her big black horse; her gaze was straight ahead. Her dark hair accentuated the pale ness of her face. They who gazed on her understood why she had ' chosen ,the garb she wore. She was habited in white, ac- cording to the provisions of her fath- er's request. When she had come into his arms on that day of their reunion- at Manor Verona she wore her graduation white, and the mental picture had been one of his dearest memories. His letter to her had ex- plained his wishes, and she respect- ed the whimsical view he took: "It's black that makes folk think of death —just death.

They think they're mourning when, they hang a lot of crape on the outside and are singing `Hail, Columby' in- side whilst the minister is praying at the funeral. Clare Kavanagh mourns so much for her father that she'd cut off her lily-white hand rather than fall down on what he asked her to do!" "Sure she would! Who says she wouldn't?" demanded one of the by- standers. • "She has got grit enough to be his son, and she loved' him as only girls know how to love. That's Clare Kav- anagh!" The doctor's voice was shrlil with passion. The doctor leaned forward - orad tapped .a finger on the shoulder of the disconcerted Temiseouata man . e "If sjie rides ahead with sorrow in her heart so as to be first at the bed where her father will sleep his last sleep—rides because he put it in his will for her so to do—ain't `she just ood true as of e and and any as sweetg your waddling citified ducks who have to be hauled in a hack? If she ain't, . "Say so!" counseled several men in' stepped away for a bit of a rest."' It truculent chorus. "If I was as full. of ginger as I was once," declared the doctor, "I'd put a rosette around your, eye." "You needn't worry about not hav- ing your decoratin' done for - your" stated one of the group. "What did this son of a hunk o' beeswax say about Queen Clare ?" "Just a moment!" pleaded Marthorn. He pointed to the doctor. "This gentleman misunderstood an innocent remark." Their situation; was danger- ous and he lied brazenly. "Nothing whatever was said about Miss Kava- nagh. None of us ever saw the lady, none of us knows - her, and I'm quite sure that we never heard of her till very lately." "What's all this about `we,' and' how do you fit in?" asked the vohnteer for the decorative job. "I'm speaking for our party—these men here." • "Well, you must have lived a long ways off all your life never to have heard of Clare Kavanagh! And it's more or less of an insult to say that you never heard of her." "He ought to be licked for saying it," stated the doctor. "Leave the both of 'em to me," urg- ed the volunteer., But -Kenneth put firm hand against the fellow's breast and pushed him back, stepping between the champion and the Temiscouata man. "Look here, men, all!" he cried, sharply, in the convincing manner of authority. "We are strangers here, but --we are showing more respect for Miss Kava- nagh and her father's memory than you are. We are behaving. You are trying to start a riot at a funeral, and that will disgrace everybody." "That talk is right," concurred Timothy Mulkern, who had come hurrying; he had constituted himself a sort of chief of staff in. the funeral management and kept a sharp, eye on the gatherings of men. "What does his will say? It's welcome to all. Old Steve Marthorn could walk through here this night and I'd flatten the man who cocked at him so much as the quirk of an eye. Scatter ye! I've got a dozen locked in the warp - shanty a, ready, so that the funeral sha'n't be shamed. Y,e'll join 'em if I hear more. And do you go home - and keep your clapper quiet," he told the doctor.

'1You'd better call me Bill Jones until we get out of this village. The Kavanaghs don't seem• to care especially for the Marthorns. I don't want that girl to think that I came down here to break up her father's funeral." Men were following them, grumbl- ing, and in order to avoid further 'was a pitiffil attempt to reach out" to cher beyond the grave the protection bf the Kavanagh personality. "I apologize," murmured the in - (Cautious one whom Marthorn had pro- tected the evening before. "I know how they feel about her, now that I have seen her. .After this I'll cuff the man who slurs her." Kenneth had never visualized the girl in his thoughts, lacking the thrust of interest. She had been for him Kavanagh's daughter rather than Clare Kavanagh. In spite of 'what he had heard about her beauty he was not prepared for this striking figure she presented. For him there was unmutterable pathos in her , dignity. They called her "Queen, of the Toban." Her poise and her demeanor fitted' the title, but, somehow, one felt that ,she ought to have motherly arms about her in her sorrow. One of the X. K. wangan bateaux was slung - on wheels, and across the big boat were laid cant -dog handles. On these was Dropped the huge burial casket. There was no touch or color or of flower. On head and foot. were coils of snubbing -warp. Eightmen were standing in the bateau, bosses of swampers, choppers, drive, team- sters, sawyers and boom -men. Timothy Mulkern was there. Six gigantic, slow-moving tote road 'horses drew the makeshift catafalque which so perfectly characterized the life of the man who lay dead. On one coil of rope were his spiked boots; across the other coil was laid his belted jacket. Miles O'Corran,_ the X. K.'s -best teamster, _stood high on the bateau's prow and drove the horses. Behind, in the dust stirred by the broad wheels, marched hundreds of men in uneven ranks. Their heads were bowed and, they carried their hats in their hands. Women walked,, too, many of them; little ; children trudged with their elders, gaping with the wonder of it all. • So rode John Kavanagh down the hill from the mansion, along the hol- low of the valley, past the red -brick office, and up the slope to the parish church where little Pere Laflamme waited, his wet eyes staring at the great cross above the clustered graves. Kavanagh had kept his promise. There were two bands. The second one was at the end of the long pro- cession and played "Aul Lang Syne," hushing the strains reverently. When all had passed and Marthorn services trouble -makers might come looking for "the Temiscouata popple chaps." Possession of ;the name of Marthorn seemed to be equivalent to carrying around a . bomb; somebody raigkt light its fuse. Recognition of him might amount to that. He could • depend on the discretion, of his own • party, but there a were many other Temiscouata employees in the .crowds at Ste. •Agathe and all mouths could not be controlled.. .. "Look here, Jackson," he remarked to one of the' men: at his side, "I think I we'd better walk up to the church and quietly cut out our- party and make a' start up -rives .' He led the way. Only a- small part of the mourners could find ,places in the little church; the others waited outside. Marthorn. prudently stopped before he came 'to the throng, and sent ahead his, men as skirmishers. But his isolation proved unfortunate An officious Temiscouata timekeeper, wishing to curry favor with the son of the presi- dent, called -to him. The busybody had a good position at one of the windows and offered to surrender it to Marthorn, who made no move to accept. "But, - Mr. Martborn!" he' insisted, giving -the name exasperating prom- inence. - Marthorn. shook his head and turn- ed his back. At the door of the church was Donald Kezar, volunteer chief usher and master of ceremonies. ' Without haste, but resolutely, he forced his way from the steps and went to the man at the window. In guarded tones, affecting as much in- difference as he could, he queried, "That man you just called to—you say his name is Marthorn?"- "Surat That's Mr. Kenneth Mar - thorn." Kezar pushed to the edge of the crowd and stared malevolently at the man whom he suspected. Marthorn, venturing - to face about again toward the church, saw menace in the stranger's countenance. The stare was disconcerting and Marthorn decid'ed to stroll back to the tavern. Kezar's thoughts were by no means clear and his plans were chaetic, but he did have the savage thought that he was allowing legitimate prey -to escape. He wanted to make more certain of he status of 'this snob from down river. He felt that he'd like to see Clare Kavana'gh's face when she laid eyes on the man who had been named to her in that letter. The de- .taining of Marthorn seemed' to be im- perative. Kazer hastened after the engineer, controlling himself by effort of the despera-le hyproerite, and pre- senting an " expression that was al- xr�ost bland when he overtook Mar- orn. _ "I heard your name by accident. T 11 find a place for you in. the church." Marthorn wondered what •kind of a trick his eyes had been playing hint This person now seemed rainier cor- dial. "I have some authority. My name is,. Kezar. My grandfather is the X. K. Yuan of business." "I'm going to be perfectly frank with you Mr. - Kerzar," blurted the other, with one of his disarming smiles, -"Some quarrel I had ,no part in seems to have strained., relations between my fat nr and Mr. Kavanagh. It has been borne in upon me that I'm not very welcome in this village. I thank you, but I'd better be going," "As to grudges, death ought to set- tle them! I think it woud be showing respect if a man as high as you are in the Temislcouata would sit in with the mourners." "I'll be excused, I think!" "Everybody in' that crowd heard what your name is. They'll take it for a slight on the family if you walk off like this.' It might start a dis- turbance. I reckon you'd better donne in. It's the safest 'way." He put/ his hand on Marthorn's shoulder and the engineer perceived that the ayes of the crowd= were ippon him. There seemed to be a threat about the whole situation; lit was, he told himself again, a •hair-trigger proposiition. He went to the church feeling like a captive.

"Then it would be the right thing for you to stop over -here till you could give Miss Clare your sister's best regards and all that!" It occurred to Mr. Marthorn that Mr. Kezar'a ideas of the social con- venances -were decidedly crude or else some, very peculiar reason was animat- ing this gentleman. "Thank you! I'll not intrude! "Up here you don't have to be so almighty genteel as those snobs are down -river. I'll go and tell her that you want to see her!" This insistence was coarse and was becoming wearisome. But Kenneth did not propose to set himself up as instructor in good manners or to show resentment which might lead to argument. He confined himself to a bland, "No, I thank you!" - His retic- ence provoked' Kezar all the more. - "I hope you are not carrying the family 'grudge against her." ' "My Ilear fellow, I don't know what a,grudge is. But let me remind you that my feelings` in regard to .Miss Kavanagh, or anybody else it the world, are my own private business.

The body of Kavanagh was being committed to the frave. None of the Temiscouata men were in sight; they were mingled with the throngs above the grave.

They made way for him at Kezar's command, and closed in behind. In the church his conductor pushed him ahead up the center aisle, drove, tp a man to give Marthorn a seat, .and then stood over him 'like -a guard. Kezar did not return to his duties at the door. He expected that Clare would come down the center aisle on her way out. It would afford. oppor- tunity to put Marthorn in her way; Kezar 'was wildly impatient to study their faces at the confronting. But when \ the services were over Clare stepped quickly, past the altar and disappeared- with Father Pierre through the door leading into the priest's house, The aislescleared and the bearers bore away the heavy casket. "I'm very much obliged to you," said Kenneth, grasping Kezar's hand. "I'd like to have you know that I have sincerely paid my respects to- day." "You'd better come along with .me. I can show you some more attentions," urged Donald, desperately seeking to keep his holds, on this key with which to unlock a possible secret. "Impossible, my dear sir! I'm starting at once for up -river." "But isn't there semebody here in the village you'd like to see—have a little chat with?" probed his guide, awkwardly. "I think there's nobody." Kenneth surveyed his new acquaintance with some curiosity. - "I suppose you are pretty well ac- quainted with Miss Clare Kavanagh." It was a bolder thrust and Donald narrowed his eyes and peered into the face near his; they were standing in the church, allowing. the others to go creaking and crowding out. "I have never met her.."
