HARPER & BROTHMIRS
(Continued from last week.)
Just inside the great door, -near
where she was standing, thatched
one on the other, rose a great heap
of crutches, wooden legs, trusses, and
other lamentable impedimenta of
human infirmities, jetsam from mis-
fortune and tossed there .in the joy
of grateful pilgrims; Knowing that
the tears were flooding her cheeks,
feeling need of shelterfrom eyes for
a few moments, she _ran ands hid her-
self behind the pathetic monument.
She leaned her, forehead against the
tattered paddling of a crutch and
tried not to sob aloud. Then the
fear lest delay might offend the
priest enabled her to control herself
and collect her courage. 'She went
into the chapel, under the archway
which Paul had pointed out, and
kneeled before the confessional -box
and gave her sorrows and her hopes
into the keeping of Father Hedeau.
As for Paul and his poor fiction of
joyful visits, hes walked in the twi-
light to the outskirts of the village
and found shelter ina small inn where
he would be safely hidden; he gave
money to pay for his odging for nine
days and nights.
And that night he went and walk-
ed in the shadows near the convent
of the Franciscan Sisters and looked
up at the dark windows.
He walked there the next night,
during the two hours before midnight,
when no observers were abroad. Se
Ira .made his tour of vigil for the
other seven nights, and on the ninth
day he waited before the church door
till she came fourth from thediln
sanctuary into the stir of the world
outside.
Her lips were no longer pale and
drooping and her eyes were not heavy
with unshed tears. She pttt forth
her hand to hist!. and smiled. "I am
glad to see you again, Paul. I thank
you for corning back."
"And I am glad to find that you are
happier," he muttered; he showed no
joy. "You have been answered, eh?
You have found—you have heard—?"
"I have heard wise words .and I
have found much to help me. Per-
haps I can't explain to you, I have
been thinking what- I would say.. But
now - I find it hard to explain."
"I do not ask you to tell me any-
thing. It's enough for me if you're
happier." -
"I have written to- pere and mere.
The Sister Superior gave me her let-
ter to send with mine."
"You have told then—?"
"Only that I am here that I am
safe" ' -
"It was a good plan. The letter
will be there ahead of you to smooth
things. So now we start for home,
eh ? " - .
She shook her head. "I am going
to stay here, - Paul." She understood
his expression where amazement
mingled with protest. "No, not what
you think. 1: am not fitfor such holy
service. They have asked me to stay
and study so that I may know what
I have never had a chance .to learn.
Your 'school—you are glad because
you have much knowbdge, . Isn't
that so?"
"It is 'good to learn. 1 am glad for
you. But as for me, I am not mak-
ing use of what I know. ,I ought not
to have come back to the woods," Her
eyes questioned him, but he did not
tell her why he had come back; fur-
ther confession of his love would
serve no ends. At that moment he
was without either hopes or dreams;
he was mentally and spiritually pro-
strated. E'en the mission he had
planned on behalf of hit people ap-
peared to be futile ands. foolish. Was
not the coarse contempt of Wallin,
brutally ignorant though he was, in-
dication of what an Indian champion
might expect to meet in the way of
discouragement and rebuff ?
"Paul, I told you that I have been
thinking what I would say." This
time she '-reached to him both her
hands.
"If it's to. give me any praise or
thanks, please don't, You gave me
leave to keep a promise and to ease
my mind. .It's ended."
"But after you are gone the words
I can't speakfn'ow will come, choking
me," she lamented.
"I - know, Lola! But it's hard to
talk'about it. We don't need to say
any more."
"But before you go away I want to
tell you this—so that you may know
how much help you have given me! I
have found my blessing at the shrine!
Look at me, Paul!" She- raised ap-
pealing eyes and gave , him earnest
and unwavering gaze. "Just yet , I
don't understand well enough to tell
you. Where the good Sisters have
made me wiser and have given me
words for my thoughts I will: know
how to tell you—I will tell you! And -
every day when I think how the hurt
has gone «way, I will see your good
kind face and remember how you
brought me to find my blessing." She
withdrew her hands frem his, stood
on tiptoe, and brought down his face
and kissed him.. -"Every. morning,
every night, a prayer for you, Paul!
All the day good wishes for you.
God keep you safe till . then."
She ran away., -
Along the narrow street two Black
Sisters were passing on their way to
the convent. Ogle of them raised a
welcoming arm and under the sable
robe, as under a buckler of protection,
the girl hid herself and walked away.
He took infinite comfort in the
spectacle.
When she had passed beyond the
corner of the gray wall he went slow-
ly into the church. It was empty
and silent. `Ie knelt near the pedestal
and when he gazed up it"seemedas
if the good saint's eyes were looking
down, into his. His murmured prayer
was a prayer of thanksgiving. -
Out of his black despair a blessing
had come to him as well as to her.
La Bonne Ste. Anne!
It was not a vain pilgrimage, that
journey through the wilderness ani,,
down the broad Laurentian slope!
When he went forth from the
church he found Dunos 'and Peter
munching black bread .in.. one of the
stalls of the arcade.
' . "So you -came along? I'm sorry
you made so • much trouble for your-
selves. You ought to have known
that you could depend on me!"
"We say Big Word, to Noel the
Bear."
"And you have just arrived?"
"Here three days," announced
Dunos, laconically.
Paul, who had been hiding o' days
in the tavern, knew why he had not

WHAT TO EAST
Avoid Indigestion, Sour Acid Stomach,
Heartburn, Gas on Stomach, Etc.
Indigestion and practically all
forms of stomach trouble, say medi-
cal authorities, are due nine times ,out
of ten to an excess of hydrochloric
acid in the stomach. Chronic `"acid
stomach" is iexceediie(g?ly djitnBerous
'and sufferers should do either one of
two things.
Either they can go on a limited and
often, disagreeable diet, avoiding foods
that disagree with them, that irritate
the 'stomach and lead to excess acid
secretion or they can eat as they
please in reason and make it a prac-
tice to counteract the effect of the
harmful acid and prevent the forma-
tion of gas, sourness or premature
fermentation by the use of a . little
Bisurated - Magnesia at their meals.
There is probably no better, safer
or more reliable` stomach antiacid
than Bisurated Magnesia and it is
widely used for this purpose. It has
no direct action on the stomach and
is not a digestent. Put a teaspoonful
of the powder or a couple of five grain
tablets taleen in a little water with
E the food will neutralize the excess
acidity which may be present and
prevent its further formation. This
removes the whole cause of the trou-
ble and the meal digests naturally
and healthfully without need of pep-
sin pills or artificial digestents.
Get a few ounces of Bisurated Mag-
nesia from any reliable druggist.
Ask for either- powder or tablets. It
never comes as a liquid, milk or
citrate and in the bisurated fern is
not a laxative. Try this plan and
eat what you want at your next meal
andsee if this isn't the best advice
you ever had on "what to eat."

seen the Indians.
"No sorry we come," declared
Peter., "Must know she here safe.
So we come to see. Come not fast
as you. Stop to make sure you still
ahead and all right."
"-Isere three days!" repeated Paul.
"Does she know you're here?"
They wagged negative heads in
unison. .
"She has worried about you. She
spoke of you. You shouthave let
her know."
Dunos explained that they- had hid-
den themselves daily and watched the
doors of the church; they kn.ew her
comings and her goings. They knew
that _ she was safe behind the walls
of the convent on the hill. But- no,
they had not presumed to speak to
her! She had told them on the way -
up the Toban that she was to stay
nine days.
They had felt that she might not
like to have it known that she had
Indians for friends and relatives,
stated Peter. They had prudently
kept out of her sight, waiting till
they could see Paul; they had guessed
th t he would come to the church
th t day—the last day.
You are good men," said Sabatis,
m isture in his eyes. - "She is proud
of you as her friends. But you and
I can do her rio more -service - just
now. She will stay here fora time,
The good Sisters .will fill her head
with knowledge. ,She has written. to
her father and all is right."
They showed no surprise. "Yes!
So now we go," was Peter's meek
comment.
"Go now to trap," said Dunos. He
pointed to the cloud -bank in the
south. "Snow come there! Fur soon
be ck."
"Ithishall stay in the ` woods for a
time. I'll go with you. I suppose
I'm now'an outlaw, according to Wal-
lin's say." Paul' made grimace of
disgust. "Did you have . any more
trouble with the renegade?"
"Huh! No trouble. No can make
trouble. Two men jump on him.
Head split, arm near twist .off, leg
broke. No walk—only talk! Talk
niuch. Them two bads skunkse like
him take him off to—to—you call him
hos-pittle."
"I hope he will have to stay in that
hospital for the rest - of leis life,"
growled the young man, not realiz-
ing that the fulfilment of that wish
in behalf of the enemy would bring
to Mr. Wallin a future of joy un-
alloyed.
Sabatis led the way from the yard
and the Indians followed, treading
in his steps, one behind the other.
CHAPTER XXVII
Kenneth Marthorn finds that some-
thing is wrong -in the north coup-
- try, but the something is elusive.
"Lord Bateman's mill," woods
metaphor for the winter skies, ground
early and plentiful grist that year;
wallowing through the deep snow, the
axmen, the "gashing fiddlers" who
manned the cross cut saws, the
swampers, the teamsters toiled in the
gathering of the winter harvest.
Clare, went home to Ste. Agathe
before the snows came. She had
made herself familiar with the lay-
out of every operation she had visit-
ed all the cams, she had, established
personal relations with the various
bosses and had arranged . for a sys-
tem of reports by which she would
be able to grasp the details of the
undertakings of the X. K. Under
those circumstances she knew that
she could administer more effectually
from the home office. Furthermore,
Miss Clare Kavanagh was humanly
feminine and owned up to herself
that even the zest of achievement had
not won her to fond regard for
heavy boots, high gaiters, and shaggy -
jackets. So he went 'home and re-
alized a virion that had beer teasing
her—herself in a house fr'y.dccurled
in a big chair in :front of her fire-
place, and, of course, out with a good
story and a box of chocolates.
Somehow it seemed like a stolen
pleasure and was the sweeter. A bit
of self -reproached spiced it. It was
all very stimulating to be the head of
the X. K., very grand to feel so much
responsibility!' But to be in.front of
the fire with book and candy was be-
ing just a girl and Miss K- vanagh
frankly acknowledged that he liked
Y•
to the whirling storm and thought up-
on how thewinds must'be shouting
across the frozen Ebeenmah and bel-
lowing up the -flinty gorge of the Abol;
the mental vision heightened her com-
fort. She felt like a truant,,and the
feeling put a keen edge on her en-
joyment:.
In tis return to the amenities, in
this r iscovery of her gentler na-
tu she: was peculiarly . gratified!
when Mr. and Mts., Robert Wheldon
Appleton accepted her invitation to
spehd a part of their honeymoon at
Ste. Agathe, in order to taste winter
fully flavored and to enjoy its sports.
Tim Mulkern bossed the making of
a snow -banked toboggan -slide from
the rear of the Kavanagh mansion in-
to the valley; he flooded a field to
givesurface for am ice -rink. He made
snow -shoes for the° expected guests
and "filled" the frames with a special
net - of thongs of his own curing. He -
made ''skees and sandpapered prop -
poles.
Engineer Marthorn stayed on in
the woods. The frozen waters favor-
ed. certain 'construction work which
was the outeome of the plans of the
survey. He could have. delegated the
direction of this work to subordinates,
without prejudice to the Temiscouata
interests. But Mr. Kenneth Marthorn
was conscious of no special hankering
for city amusements; on the contrary,
he was wholly absorbed by something
in the wob4s which was not amusing.
He was no ' understanding just what
it was all about. Engrossing mys-
teries in one's affairs are often agree-
able; Engineer Marthorn was finding
his own puzzle to be devilishly irri-
tati g. Something was wrong; some-
thing was hidden; something was
operating against his efforts to
straighten out affairs along the upper
Toban. But when he sought for ac-
tualities and explanations he had
an exasperating sense of failure; he
told himself that he felt like a blind
man grabbing for eels,
The lawyer and the engineer whom
Donald Kezar had secured for the X.
K. were amiable persons, but they
seemed to have a curious lack of
initiative. After one conference the
lawyer went back to the city, promis-
ing to handle his part of the X. K.
affairs from that end; the engineer
was a preoccupied individual with a
faraway look of leisure in his eyes,
but with a wonderful propensity for
keeping on the gallop from one point
to another in the section, Kenneth,
whenever he sought a conference in
regard to some matter of co-opera-
tion, found Engineer C. Pitts Haines
as elusive as a flea in his flittings,
and when he had been caught, then
that far -away look in the eye positive-
ly refused to be captured • that- was
the irritated feeling of'Kenneth in
the matter, -
Second Vice -President Donaldson
had settled in the Toban as general
field director—and thereewas no far-
away look in that gentleman's eye!
Mr. Donaldson was not Obtrusive and
he exhibited a fine, large, offhand
manner of keeping his 'enose out of
Mr, Kenneth's professional business;
but the chief engineer had *the con-
tinuous and uneasy impression that
Mr. Donaldson was there to watch
and was watching most keenly.
Every now , and . then,,Mr. Donald-
son went over Mr 3liiiierdrn's head
in the matter of commands, Most of
the instances were ` minor ones, but
they all tended toward the same thing
—selfish aggrandizement of the
Temiscouata without promise of co-
operation to protect the rights of
others on the river.
Mr. Marthorn, seeing: what the
sum -resultant would amont to in the
end, demurred; but Mr, Donaldson
politely and volubly explained that
he would not presume to meddle in
any really vital natter, but the other
directors did expect him to safeguard
the company interests; there could be
arrangements for compromise when
the interests had been protected.
The cursed feature was, so Ken-
neth reflected, that the whole proposi-
tion was se slippery. To make a
stand on a minor point would appear
like disloyalty to his company in
order to help rivals; he could not af-
ford to have gossip or opinion de-
veloping the suspicion that he was en-
deavoring to, show especial partiality
for Clare Kavanagh. Desiring to
keep tongues quiet, he did not venture
to come to an open split with the
field director. But he could look a-
head to a state of affairs in which
the undoing of the X. K. might 'be
involved because certain measures
had not been checked at their, incep-
tion.
And he had. given her his man's
promise!
He found his situation nigh intol-
erable.
He began to brood and to worry.
That lawyer of the X. K.! There
were, to be sure, injunctions by the
court on certain work, but how long
and how well would those injunctions
hold? It was a matter where legal
ability must count—honesty and sa-
gacity as well!
The engineer of the far -away look
and the up -and -away habit had - built
on paper and by word o' mouth some
wonderful works for the conservation
of the property of the X. K. But the
works did not appear to be getting
far beyond the blue -print stage.
Kenneth's toil on the survey had
been, arduous and constant. When
the worry added its burden he became
conscious that he did not feel physical-
ly fit. He was weak, moody and irri-
table. He was afraid of what he

Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in-

The big problem facing the Canadian Banks today
is that of providing/ sufficient money to enable this
year's crops to be speedily marketed.
That's why manufacturers are finding it difficult
to obtain, money to buy raw materials and to
make extensions,
That's why store -keepers are finding it diet to
get extended credits to enable them to increase
their stocks.
That's the meaning of the expression "money is
tight."
That's wny interest rates are high now ; in other
words, that's why bond prices are lower.
