THE
REFUGEES

(Continued from Wednesday.)
"Vnnt is it. father? What can wo cio
for you?" cried Adele. "We aro In
America, and hero la Amory and hero
am I, your children."
But the old man shook his head. "The
Lord has brought me to the promised
land, hut ho has not willed that I
should enter into it," said ho. "But at
least I should wish, liko Moses, to gaze
upon it if I cannot set foot upon It."
A minute Inter the old merchant was
on deck, and the two young men had
seated him upon a coll of rope with his
hack against the mast, where he should
bo nvjuy from the crush. The soldiers
wewtaJilready crowding down Into the
boats, and all were so busy over their
own affairs that they paid no heed to
the llttlo group of refugees who had
gathered round tho stricken man. Ho
turned his head painfully from side to
side, nnd his lids fell slowly over his
oyes, which had been looking away out
past Point Levi at the rolling woods
and tho faroff mountains. Adele gave
a quick cry of despair and threw her
arms round tho old man's neck.
"Ho Is dying, Amory; he Is dying!"
eho cried.
A stern Franciscan friar who had
been telling his beads within a few
paces of them heard the cry.
f Is Indeed dying," ho said as ho
gified down at tho ashen fac "Has
till old man had tho sacraments of tho
church?"
But tho old Huguenot had opened
his eyes, nnd with a last flicker of
strength he pushed away the gray
hooded flguro which bent over him.
"I loft all that I love rather than
yield to you," he cried, "and think you
that you can overcome mo now?"
The Franciscan started back at tho
words, and his hard, suspicious eyes
shot from Do Catlnat to the weeping
Klrl.
"Sol" said he. "You aro Huguenots,
then!"
"Hush! Do not wrangle before a
man who is dying!" cried Do Catlnat
In a voice as fierce as his own.
"Beforo a man who is dead," said
Amos Green solemnly,
As ho ppoko tho old man's face had
relaxed, his thousand wrinkles had
been smoothed suddenly out as though
nn Invisible hand had passed over
them, nnd his hoad fell back against
tho mast. Adolo reniatnod motionless,
with her arms still clasped round his
neck nnd her check pressed against his
shoulder. Bho hnd fainted.
Do Catinnt raised his wlfo and boro
hor down to tho cabin of ono of the la
dles who had already shown them
sorao kindness. A brief order was giv
en thnt the old morchant should bo
burled In tho river that night, nnd
then, savo for a sallraaker who fas
tened tho canvas round him, mankind
had dono Its last for Theophlle Catinnt.
With tho survivors, however, It was
different, and when tho troops were all
dlsembarked-thcy were mustered in a
llttlo group upon tho deck, nnd au ofll
ccr of tho governor's suit decided upon
what should bo dono with them, ne
was a portly, good humored, ruddy
cheokod man, but Do Catinnt saw with
apprehension that tho Franciscan friar
walked by his sldo as ho advanced
along tho deck nnd exchnnged a fow
whispered remarks wJth him.
"It shall bo seen to, good father; It
shall bo seen to," said tho ofilecr Im
patiently. "I am a zealous servant of
tho holy church."
"I trust that you aro, M. do Bonne
ville. With so devout a govornor as
M.&t. Dononvlllo It might he an ill
tliljT fm in tills world for tho ofll
cerof his household to bo lax."
Tho soldier glanced angrily at his
companion.
"I would havo you remember, fa
ther," said he, "that If faith Is a virtue
charity Is no less so." Then, speaking
in English, "Which Is Captain Savngo?"
"Ephrahn Savage of Boston."
"And Master Amos Green?"
"Amos Green of New York."
"And Master Tomllnson?"
"John Tomllnson of Salem."
"And Master Mariners niram Jeffer-
sqnIosoi)1i Cooper, Scek-Graco Spauld
lngV;? Paul Cushlug, all of Massachu
setts Bay?"
"Wo aro here."
"It is the governor's orders that all
vhoin I havo named 6hall be conveyed
at; once to tho trading brig Hope, which
Is yonder ship with tho whlto pnlnt
lino. Bho sails within the hour for tho
English provinces,"
A buzz of Joy hroko from tho cast
away marlnors at tho prospect of being
bo speedily restored to their homes,
and they hurried away to gather to
gether tho fow possessions which they
had saved from tho wreck. Tho olll
cor put his list In his pockot and
stepped across to whero Do Catlnat
leaned moodily against tho bulwarks.
"What Is to bo dono with us?" asked
Do Catinnt.
"You aro to bo confined to tho ship
until sho sails, which will bo in a week
at tho furthest."
"And then?"
"You aro to bo carried homo In her
nnd handed over to tho governor of
Bochelle, to bo sent back to Paris.
Thoso aro M. do Deuonvllle's orders."
Do Bonnevillo left Do Catinnt with
n few blunt words of sympathy, but
Jio friur still pared tho deck, with a
Mlva olanna ui 111 ill from Mm
J
time, nnu two soldiers wno were stu
tioned upon tho poop passed and re
passed within n few yards of him.
They had orders evidently to watch
his movements. As ho stood gazing
ills nttentlon was drawn away by tho
swish of oars, and n largo boat full of
men paused Immediately underneath
whero ho stood.
It held the New Englandcrs, who
weio being conveyed to tho ship which
was to take them home. Thero were
the four seamen huddled together, nnd
there in the sheets were Cnptnin
Ephralm Savago and Amos Green con
versing together nnd pointing to the
shipping. Tho grizzled face of the old
Puritan and the bold features of tho
woodsman were turned more thnu once
in his direction, but no word of faro-
woll nnd no kindly wnvo of tho hand
came uacic to tho lonely exile. lie
stooped his face to his arms and burst
In an instant into n passion of sobs.
Before lie raised his eyes again tho brig
had hoisted her anchor and wns tack
ing under full 'canvas out of tho Quo
bee basin. De Catinat's bunk was next
to a porthole, and It was his custom to
keep this open, ns tho cnbooso In which
the cooking wns done for the crew wns
close to him and tho nlr was hot and
heavy. That night he found it Impossi
ble to sleep, and he lay tossing under
his blanket, thinking over every possi
ble means by which they might bo nblo
to get away from this cursed ship. But
even If they got away where could they
go to then? All Cannda was sealed to
them. The woods to tho south were
full of ferocious Indians. Tho English
settlements would, it was true, grant
them freedom to uso tholr own religion,
but what could his wife and ho do
without a friend, strangers among folk
who spoke another tongue? Had Amos
Green remained true to them, then In
deed nil would havo been well. But ho
had deserted them.
But wlint wns that? Above tho gen
tie lapping of tho river he had suddenly
heard a sharp, clear "Hist!" Peihaps
it was some passing boatman or In
dian. Then it came again that eager,
urgent summons. Ho sat up and stared
nbout him. It certninly must havo
come from tho open porthole. Some
thing fell upon his chest with n llttlo
tap and, rolling off, rattled along tho
boarJa. Ho sprang up, caught a Inn
tern from a hook and flashed It upon
tho floor. Thero was tho missile vtJilch
had struck him a little golden brooch.
As ho lifted It up nnd looked closer at
It n thrill passed through him. It had
been his own, nud ho had given It to
Amos Green upon tho second day that
he had met him.
This wns a slgnnl, then, nnd Amos
Green hnd not deserted them, nftor nil.
IIo dressed himself, nil In n tremble
shadow or tho bulwarks. They wcra
almost thero when Do Catlnat stopped
suddenly nud ground out nn onth
through his clinched teeth. Between
them and the rope ladder thero was
standing In n dim pnteh of murky light
tho grim flguro of n Frnnclscnn frinr
ut ue catlnat wns not n mnn with
whom It wns safe to trifle. His llfo
had been ono of nninir r.i..
prompt action. Was this vindictive
rrlnr at tho last moment to stand bo
tween him nnd freedom? It wns a
dnngcrous position to take. Tho guards
man pulled Adele Into tho shadow of
tho mast, and then, ns tho monk nd
vnnced, ho sprang out upon him nnd
seized him by tho gown. As ho did so
ujo omers cowl wns pushed bnck. nnd
Instead of tho harsh features of tho
ecclcslnstlc De Catlnat saw with
amazement tho shrewd gray eyes and
strong, stern face of Ephralm Savago.
At tho samo Instant another flguro ap
peared over the side, and the wnrm
hearted Frenchmnn threw himself Into
the nrms of Amos Green.
"It's all right," said tho young hunt
er, disengaging himself with some cm-
uurrassmeut from tho other's embrace
"We've got him in tho boat, with a
uucKsiun giovo jammed into his gul
let." "Who, then?"
"Tho man whose clonk Cnptnin
Ephralm thero has put round him.
He camo on us when you were away
rousing your lady. Is tho lady there?"
"Here sho la."
"As quick ns you enn, then, for some
one may come."
Adele was helped over tho side and
seated In the stern of a birch bark ca
noe. The three men unhooked the lad
dor and swung themselves down by a
rope, while two Indians who held tho
pauuies pushed silently off from tho
ship's sldo nud shot swiftly up tho
strenm. A mlnuto Inter n dim loom
behind them nnd the glimmer of two
yellow lights were nil thnt they could
see of tho St. Chrlstophe.
"Take a paddle, Amos, nnd I'll take
one," said Captain Savage, stripping
off his monk's gown. "I felt safer In
this on the deck of yon ship, but It
don't help In a boat."
"I hope, madame, that all Is well
with you," said Amos.
"Nay, I can hardly understand what
has happened or whero wo are."

Thero was standing the grim figure of a
Franctscan friar.
with oxeitement, and went upon deck.
It was pitch dark, and he could see no
one, but the sound of regular footfalls
somewhere In the fore part of tho ship
showed that tho sentinels were still
there.
Tho guardsman wajked over to tho
sdo and peered dqwn Into tho dark
ness. Ho could seo tho loom of a boat.
"Who Is there?" ho whlspeied.
"Is thnt you, Do Catlnatr
"Yes."
"Wo havo como for you."
"God bless you, Amos!"
"Is your wife thero?"
"No, but I can rouso her."
"Good! But first catch this cord.
Now pull up tho ladder."
Do Catinnt gripped tho lino which
was thrown to him nnd on drawing It
up found thnt It was attachod to a ropo
ladder furnished at tho top with two
steel hooks to catch on to tho bul
warks. He placed them in position and
then mndo his way very softly to tho
cabin nmldshlps In tho ladles' quarter,
which had been nllottcd to his wife. In
ten minutes Adele hnd dressed and,
with her valuables In n little bundle,
had sloped out from her cabin. To
gether they mado their way upon deck
vja uvnra aiul nrant att liiului ilto
"Nor can I, Amos."
"Did you not expect us to como back
for you, then?"
"I did nofknow what to expect."
"Well, now, surely you could not
think that wo would leavo"you without
a word."
"I confess that I was cut to the
heart Ly It."
"I feared that you were when I
looked at you with tho tall of my eyo
and saw you staring so blackly over
tho bulwarks at us. But If wo had
been seen talking or planning they
would havo been upon our trail at
once."
"And what did you do?"
"Wo loft tho brig last night, got
nshoro on tho Benupro side, arranged
for this cauoo nnd lny 4grk all day.
Then tonight wo got alongside and I
roused you easily, for I knew whero
you slept. Tho friar nearly spoiled all
when you were below, but Ave gagged
him and passed him over tho sldo."
"Ah, it is glorious to bo free once
morel And whero aro wo going?"
"All, thero you havo me. It is this
way or none, for wo can't get down to
the sea. We must make our way over
land ns best wo can, nnd wo must
leavo a good stretch between Quebec
and us beforo tho dny breaks, for,
from what I hear, they would rather
have a Huguenot prisoner than an Iro
quois sagamore. By tho eternal, I
cannot seo why they should make such
a fuss over how a man chooses to savo
his own soul."
All night they tolled up tho great
river, straining every nervo to plnco
themselves beyond tho roach of pur
suit. By keeping well Into tho south
ern hank and so avoiding tho forco of
Iho current thoy sped swiftly along,
for both Amoa and Do Catlnat were
practiced hands with tho paddle, and
the two Indians worked ns though
thoy were -wire nnd whipcord Instead
of flesh nnd blood. When at last morn
ing broke and tho black shaded imper
ceptibly into grny they were fnr out
of sight of tho cltndel and of all trace
of man's handiwork. Virgin woods in
their wonderful many colored autumn
dress flowed right down to tho river's
edge on either side, and in tho center
was a llttlo Island.
"I've passed hero before," said De
Catlnat. "I remember marking thnt
grent mnplo with tho blaze on its trunk
when last I went with tho governor to
Montreal. That was In Frontenac's.
day, when tho king was first and tho
bishop second."
The redskins, who had sat Hho terra
cotta figures, without a trace of ox
presslon upon their set, hqrd faces,
pricked up their ears at tho sound of
that name,
"My brother baa spoken of tho great
Onontlo," said ono of them, glancing
round. "Wo havo listened to tho whis
tling of evil birds who tell us that ho
will nover como back."
"Ho is with tho great whlto father,"
answered Do Catlnat "I havo myself
seen him In his council, nnd ho will as
suredly como across tho great water if
his people havo need of him."
Tho Indian shook his shaven head.
