THE STORY
With his English wife, Cather¬
ine, and son, Jeems, Henry Hu¬
la in, French settler in Canada in
174 0. cultivates a farm adjacent
to the Tonteur seigneurie. As the
story opens the Bulains are re¬
turning from a visit to the Ton
teurs. Catherine’s wandering
brother, Hepsibah, meets them
with presents for the family. To
Jeems he gives a pistol, bidding
him perfect himself in marksman¬
ship. Hepsibah fears for the
safety of the Bulains in their
isolated position. Jeems fights
with Paul Taehe, cousin of Toi
nette Tonteur, whom they both
adore. Next day Jeems calls at
the Tonteur home and apologizes
for brawling in front of Toinette.
The Tonteurs go to Quebec.
CHAPTER IV—Continued
— 8 —
This discussion was the beginning
of another phase in Jeems' life. It
placed before him certain definite ob¬
ligations of manhood which even his
mother had to recognize, though slip
wanted to hold him as long as pos¬
sible in his boyhood years. During
the next year he made several trips
with Hepsibah, going to Albany and
as far as the country of Pennsylvania.
Each time he returned to tiis home
something held him more closely to it.
In the autumn of 1734, after four
years at school, Toinette returned to
Tonteur manor.
Peace and happiness lay over the
Richelieu. It had been a splendid
year for France along the far frontiers.
Washington had surrendered at Fort
Necessity, and Viillers was triumphant
at Fore Duquesne. England and
France were still playing at the hypoc¬
risy of friendship. While they played,
thrusting at each other secretly and
in tlie dark, not an English flag was
left waving beyond the Alleghanles.
French arms and Indian diplomacy
were victorious along the Ohio and
westward to the plains. The policies
of the British royal governors were
alienating their Indian allies, and in
spite of their million and a half popu
tlon against eighty thousand in New
France. Dinwiddle had frantically
called upon England for help. In re¬
sponse, England was sending General
Bra ddock.
In a double rejoicing over Toinette’s
homecoming and his country’s success
at arms, Tonteur planned a levee and
barbecue at the seigneuri*. Hepsibah
was away at the time, which disap¬
pointed the baron, who insisted that
Henri and his family must attend the
celebration or lie would never call
them friends again.
Jeems felt a thrill growing in him
as the day drew near, lie was no
longer the Jeems of Lussan's place as
he set out in tlie company of his father
and mother with Odd pegging along
faithfully at his side. In January lie
would be eighteen. The alert and
sinuous grace of one of the wild things
of tlie forest was in Ills movements.
Catherine was more than ever proud
of him and rejoiced in the cleanness
of his build, in his love of nature and
God, and in tlie directness with which
his eyes looked at one. But she was
not more proud than Hepsibah Adams,
whe had seen in this pupil of his flesh
and blood the qualities and courage,
tlie lock, stock, and barrel, as lie
j called It, of a fighting man.
Jeems was anxious to see Toinette.
but with fIiis desire there remained
none of tlie old yearnings which had
once oppressed him. She whom lie
was going to regard today was a
stranger, one into whose presence lie
was determined not to force himself
again. T^lds resolution was not in¬
spired in him by a lack of boldness or
an uncertainty as to ids own social
fitness. An immense pride upheld
him. The spirit and freedom of the
forests were in his blood, and behind
these was also the spirit of Hepsibah
Adams. He knew that he could meet
Toinette coolly and without embar¬
rassment should they chance to stand
face to face, no matter Low splendid
she had grown. And lie realized there
must be a great change in tier. She
was fifteen now. A young lady. At
this period of his life, five years
seemed a long time, and tie thought It
was possible be might not recognize
her.
An overwhelming moment of shock
seized him when at last he saw her.
It was as if a yesterday of long ago
had come back into this today, as if
i picture which had been burned and
scattered into ash had miraculously
been restored.
She was taller, of course. Perhaps
she was lovelier. But she was tlie
same Toinette. He could see no
change in her except that she had be¬
come more a woman. Hepsibah's
work, liis own, his freedom, and his
courage were dissipated like dust as
he looked at her, and once more tie
felt himself tlie inferior being offering
her nuts and feathers and maple
sugar and praying in his childish way
CLEVELAND COURIER,
that she might smile on him. This
was not a new Toinette removed an¬
other million miles away from him, as
lie had supposed siie would be, but tlie
old Toinette, commanding him to
slavery again, and making his blood
run hot in his body.
With a group of young ladies from
tlie neighboring seigneurie, she had
come down from tlie big house, and lie
was almost in her path, with I’eter
Lubeck at his side. It was Peter who
advanced a step or two toward them.
Except for his action Toinette would
not have turned, Jeems thought. He
pulled himself together and stood with
his head hared, as cold and impassive
in appearance as a soldier at atten¬
tion, while his heart beat like a ham¬
mer. Toinette had to face him to re¬
turn tiis companion's gioeting.
It was impossible for her not to see
him when she made ttiis movement.
But there was a slowness in her dis¬
covery, an effort to keep from looking
at hint which was more eloquent than
words. It had not been her desire to
speak to him.
If he needed courage, it was Ibis
enlightenment which gave it to him.
He inclined li is head when she met
his gaze. Her face was flushed, her
It Had Not Been Her Desire to
Speak to Him.
eyes darkly aglow, while Ids own
cheeks bore only tlie color of sun and
wind. He might never have known
her, so unmoved did he stand as she
went on iior way.
.She had slightly nodded, her lips
had barely formed a name.
Eater, after the feast on tlie green,
came Tonteur’s spectacular feature of
tlie day, a military review of his ten¬
ants, with wives and children wit¬
nessing tlie martial display. The male
guests, who had drilled in their own
seigneuries, joined Tonteur’s men.
Only Henri l’.ulnin and Jeems were
not among them. Henri, sensitive to
the fact, and to save Catherine from
the hurt which might arise because of
it, had started with her over the
homeward trail half an hour before.
Jeems bad remained. This was his an¬
swer to Toinette’s contempt—that he
was not of her people, that his world
was not circumscribed by tlie pettty
boundaries of the seigneurie. lie stood
with his long rifle in the crook of bis
arm, conscious that she was looking
at him, and the invisible shafts from
tier eyes, poisoned with their disdain,
stirred him with tlie thrill of a pain¬
ful triumph. He could almost hear
her calling him an English beast again.
A coward. One to be distrusted and
watched. He did not sense humilia¬
tion or regret, but only a final widen¬
ing of what had always lain between
them.
He bore this feeling home with him.
It grew us time went on, and with its
growth an Increasing restlessness came
over him. News creeping through 1 he
wilderness and reaching every corner,
like tlie whispering winds, kept an un¬
quenchable heat under tlie ash of these
fires, fanning tlie embers into flume in
spite of him. Secrets were no longer
secrets. Rumors had grown into facts.
Fears hud become realities. England
and France were still playing at
peace in their mighty courts. In tlie
sunlight they were friends, in tlie dark
they were seeking each other's lives
like common cutthroats.
And tlie thirteen little Colonial gov¬
ernments of the English, quarreling
like small boys among themselves, just
beginning to walk alone, feeling the
significance of tlie new word Ameri¬
can, cheated by tiieir parent, laughed
at by their parent, hated by their
High Place Accorded Majestic Douglas Fir
A Scottish naturalist, roving tlie
wild western land of tlie infant re¬
public 103 years ago, brought the ma¬
jestic Douglas fir to the knowledge
of the scientific world, and for all
time it will bear his name. Of David
Douglas it is said that lie “contrib¬
uted probably more than any other
me man to the knowledge of our
northwestern trees and plants.”
Returning Iwme, be introduced the
Douglas fir into cultivation in Great
Britain, and tlie Scots value it highly
for finish and furniture. Now comes
the sequel, in this editorial paragraph
from the Seattle Times:
“A shipment of a cargo of Seattle^
made furniture to Scotland has more
than ordinary significance. The ar¬
ticles are all made of Washington
fir, a wood held in higher esteem in
Scotland than walnut. The purchasers
specified that tlie wood should be in
its natural grain, which everybody
knows is beautiful. We are familiar
parent, still yearned for tlie love of
that parent as children have wanted
love from (lie beginning of time, and
were loyal to it.
So tragedy began to move, to build
out of death, out of betrayed confi¬
dence, out of dishonor and fraud and
pitiless murder the American and
Canadian nations of the future.
Eighty thousand French and more
than a million English in tlie New
world made ready for tlie sacrifice.
Massachusetts enlisted one man out
of eight of her male populaton. Con¬
necticut, New Hampshire, Rhode
Island, New York, and tlie otiiers fol¬
lowed her example.
Children, loyal, proud to fight—and
hating the French ferociously >
Then came Bvaddock, preceding
Wolfe, to cull them “worthless trash.”
And New France, a glory of sun and
land even now gutted of her pros¬
perity by corruptions brought from
Louis and La Pompadour, sent out he*
own sons to fight and kill, valiant,
glad, confident—and hating the Eng¬
lish implacably!
Wit li them, on both sides, went In¬
dians from almost a hundred tribes—
red men who had once found honor
in fighting, hut who, now skulking and
murderous and vengeful, found tiieir
souls in pawn to tlie great White
Fathers across (lie sea who had pros¬
tituted them with whisky, bought them
with guns, maddened them with
hatreds, and wiio paid them for hu¬
man hair.
Of these tilings Jeems was thinking
as winter grew into spring and spring
into summer. Only love held him
from leaping to (lie temptations which
were drawing closer about him, love
for his mother whose happiness
marked the beginning and tlie end of
all action on the part of tier men
folk. And in tills hour, when three
out of four of tlie fighting men along
the Richelieu were preparing to join
Dieskau, when half of his acquaint¬
ances at the Tonteur seigneurie had al¬
ready gone to fight Brnddock, when
the forests trembled at the stealthy
tread of painted savages, and when
tlie Frenchman who did not rise to
his country’s call was no longer a
Frenchman, .Teems observed that tlie
strain upon his fattier was more diffi¬
cult to bear than his own. For Henri,
in spite of his worship of Catherine,
was of New France to the bottom of
his soul, and now that ottier men
were making a bulwark of their bodies
against her enemies, his own desire to
make tiie same sacrifice was almost
beyond tlie power of li is strong will
to control. In their years of comrade¬
ship, Jeems and his father had never
come so near to each other as in these
weeks of tension.
Almost as painful to them as the
sting of a wound was tlie day when
Dieskau came up the Richelieu with a
host of three thousand five hundred
men and made forever a hallowed
ground of tlie Tonteur seigneurie by
camping there overnight.
When she knew they were coming,
Catherine liad said:
“If your hearts tell you It is right,
go with them !”
But they remained. For Henri it
was a struggle greater than, Dieskau
fought, greater than that in which
Braddoek died. For Jeems it was less
a torment and more tlie mysterious
madness of youth lo tramp to the
clash of arms. For Catherine tt was
the gelienna of her life, a siege of
darkness and uncertainty in tier soul
which gave way suddenly before news
which swept like a whirlwind over tlie
land.
God had been with New France!
Braddoek and his English Invaders
were destroyed!
No triumph of French arms In the
New world bad been so complete, and
Dieskau, the great German baron who
was fighting for France, moved south¬
ward to crush Kir William Johnson
and his Colonials and Indians, plan¬
ning not to stop until be had driven
them to the doors of Albany.
With him were six hundred and
eighty-four of the loyal men who were
beginning to call themselves Cana¬
dians.
Tonteur rode over to bring the news
to Henri Iiulain. To Catherine lie re¬
called his prediction that tlie English
would never get into this paradise of
theirs. Now tlie whole thing was set¬
tled for many years to come, for
Dieskau would sweep their last enemy
from tlie Champlain country f.s com¬
pletely as a new broom swept her
home. He had sent almost every man
lie had to the scene of lighting, and
only his wooden leg had kept him
from joining Dieskau.
Even Toinette liad wanted to go!

Compiled “Dictionary”
While the average person regards

achievement with Noah Webster, iiis

Cluy tablets unearthed in Nineveh
reveal cuneiform impressions made
in tlie Seventh century, B. (’., in the
reign of Assurbanipal. These tablets
are generally recognized as the
earliest authentic dictionary.
Arab scholars early busied them¬
selves with dictionary making, a
work necessary to a language as rich
as theirs. The first attempt to gather
tiie entire Arabic vocabulary in one
work was arranged not alphabetical¬
ly, but based on a system of phonetic
principles.
Skipping a vast period when dic¬
tionaries were compiled in nearly all
tongues, we come upon the first Eng¬
lish- dictionary, Hie work of John
Builokar. John Bullokar's Eng¬
lish Expositor was the first English
dictionary in the strict sense of tlie
term, as it gave both words and defi
tions ill English.
Noah Webster published his Com¬
pendious dictionary in 1803, and in
1828 brought out his great American
Dictionary of the English Language,
which was followed by abridged edi¬
tions. Besides many editions with
minor changes, complete revisions of
the large dictionary were made in
18-17 by Chuuncey A. Goodrich and in
18(54 and 1800 by Noah Dorter. Its
present name is Webster’s New Inter¬
national dictionary. Tills is a com¬

India’s Curse of Caste
Two men of outcaste rank were

Suddenly pandemonium broke loose
because iliey bad dared drink from
th(> same cup used by higher caste
travelers. Finally Hie two men were
forced to buy the cups. Then, heap¬
ing indignity upon indignity, tlie
guard on the irain said: “Aha, you
have cups in your possession. You
must pay me four rupees to make it
worth while not to take you up for
this.” A lawyer of low caste origin
was also refused tea at a station, but
because of his position finally se¬
cured the drink. He got his tea, but
all the people of his caste in the en¬
tire district were for a long time
boycotted in the shops. Gandhi does

Painful Truth
Dr. Horace Day was asked to re¬

Birmingham reception :

have caused some people pain. Well,
isn't it worth a little pain to clear
