with presents (or tha family.
CHAPTER II Continued
Catherine took off her cape and
kood and patted her hair more prop
erly Into place before a mirror hnng
lag od the wall. Henri knew how fa at
liar heart waa tripping as he took her
lianda. and held them for a moment
and aaw a mint of tears behind her
lashea. It had been two yours since
he had seen Hepslbah. two year of
yearning and praying and hoping for
this Irresponsible brother, the last of
ier close blood ties, who came and
went with the Inconstancy of the winds
nd yet had never succeeded In spoil
ing her dream of having him some day
mu a permanent member of her little
family. Each time he came to them,
Hepalbah was full of promise, swear
ing upon his soul that he had made up
his mind to remain with them forever,
a Catherine pleaded with him to do;
and then, some day or night, he would
disappear with all his belongings, and
bo one would see or hear him go, and
tt might be six months, or a year, or,
a In this Instance, even longer before
fee returned, ready to promise and
wear upon his soul all over again
tmt sure to steal away In the end as
before.
Bach time that he came, he bore
trage pack en his shoulders, as If
partly In penance, and the opening of
thla pack and the distributing of Its
patents had come to be the biggest
rant In Jeems' life, and also In his
mother's In a slightly less degree. But
Jeems bad no trespassing thought of
tae never-falling bundle as he went
back for his gun In the company of
bis beloved Uncle Hep. At the most
providential of moments, his hero of
an heroes was at his side, and secur
ing this mighty personage's pledge of
aecrecy he lost no time In telling him
about the boy he hated. Marking the
grip of Jeems' hand, and catching t:.e
telltale tremble In his voice, Hepslbah
sat down upon the bag of ground corn
ud did not leave It until by shrewd
(ueetlonlng and sympathetic Interest
be had drawn from Jeems' heart a
large part of what It had withheld
from his parents. At a second loud
blowing of Henri's dinner horn they
rose to their feet, and as Hepslbah
shouldered the corn, his round red
face was like a full moon of promise
nd cheer,
"It doesn't take size to win a fight,
Jeemsy," he said, speaking In a con
fidential way. "Barring this Dutch
man at Albany, I've never been rib
roasted by a b!g man yet, and I'm only
tolerable alzed, you observe. I've al
ways had a reasonable preference for
the big ones, come aa come can, for
Cbey are slower to move and fall harder,
and nine oot of ten of them carry fat
fbis Paul Tache, now I know by your
telling of him that you can cob and
eomb him until he begs for mercy.
Ifa all what you've got your mind
made up to, Jeemsy nothing more
and nothing leas. And you've got
your mind made up to warm him, so
go and do it, I say."
Catherine came around the corner
of the cabin to meet the plotters, and
Hepslbah discreetly held back further
words as he winked broadly at Jeems.
It was the great night of two long
years in the Bulaln cabin, and Cath
erine's three Betty lamps and her
Phoebe lamp and a doten candles as
well were lighted in honor of it, so
that when darkness fell thick and
tarleas about the wilderness, with
masses of rain clouds gathering over
bead, the home at the edge of For
bidden valley was bright with glow
and cheer. The roaat was cut open,
and with attendant dishes of sukqut
tahhaah, Johnnycake, potatoes, and
carrots, and hasty pudding with maple
alrup, gave opportunity for such feast
ing that an hour was well gone before
Eepslbah Adama thrust back his end
of the long table bench and brought
forth bla fat pack from under the
tain which led up to Jeems' sleep
ing loft.
"Just a few little trinkc-ts," he be
gan, using the Identical words Ije had
employed one year after another. "A
few whlra-whams and baubles for the
boy, a bit of trumpery for Sister, and
a farthing worth of nothing In par
ticular for you, Henri. Ah, here we
Lave the first package, with writing on
It In the band of the schol.tr who sold
me the goods a cap, a ruffle, a tucker,
and a bolt of luce at five shillings a
yard I Now who In this room can such
lilies be for unless " and at Cath
erine's delighted exclamation he tossed
the bundle to her. But scarce had she
opened it, with her eyes Intent upon
her business, then Hepslbah uiifur'ed
a red silk pettlcost In the candle glow,
and this time Catherine sprang to her
feet with an amared Intake of breath,
fur so well had Hepslbah arranged his
surprise that, one after another, he
bad a white love-hood, a black love
bood, end three more petticoats on the
table one of scarlet with black lace,
one of colorod drugget with pointed
lace, and a third of black silk with
ash-gray lining; and as Catherine
stood gazing upon these treasures fit
,Zor a queen be added to them two
of Abraham
pairs of stays for an elghteen-lnch
waist, and then ahowered over them
such an array of lace drowlas, gar
gets, ptecadlllies, atui other necker
chlefa that Catherine closed her eyes
for a moment and then opened them
wide aa If there might be a chance of
aome clever trickery In It.
"Dear Mother In heaven 1" she cried.
"Are all of these ravishing things for
me? They must have cost a fortune 1"
pausing to look at her smiling brother
and at the same time holding up the
scarlet petticoat with black lace.
"This one, for Instance
"Two pounds fifteen shillings," said
Hapslbah, opening his pack wider and
working his hands Quickly. "And to go
with these dresses I have here rullles
"As Long as You Live, You Must
Nsvtr Part With This Pistol,
Jeemsy."
and tuckers and threads and buttons
and ribbons, and four pairs of the
nicest shoes that ever came up the
Hudson," and placing these last-named
articles on the table with a flourish
of arms. Hepsibah gave a gloating
chuckle and paused to fill his pipe.
Jeems' heart was near breaking with
suspense, and it seemed to give an
audible crack when tils Uncle Hep's
gnarled hanas went Into the pack
again. He drew a bulky package from
his store and passed it to Jeems'
father.
"Three of the finest pipes I ever
laid my eyes ou," he announced. "One
made in Holland, one In London, and
one in America, and five pounds of
Virginia tobacco to go with them,
Henri, along with a hat, a coat, and a
pair o' boots that may take you with
honor to any swolrree or gentry merry
making this side of the sea. Now,
how's that?" And he stepped back as
if his pack were entirely empty and
held nothing at all for Jeems.
For an eternity, It seemed to Jeems,
hla uncle remained in this terrifying
posture. Then, with deliberate and
aggravating slowness, Hepslbah Adams
returned to his pack.
No one of the three who were watch
ing him would ever have guessed that
Hepslbah's act was one weighted
heavily with the force of destiny, nor
that with dramatic inevltableness It
waa to change the course of human
Uvea, bringing the high down to earth,
and the earthly to great heights, loos
ing passions and hatreds and loves,
breeding tragedies and Joys, and end
ing, at last, in what It is the purpose
of this humble chronicle of human
vents to narrate.
A swift-coming thought, a deft re
turn Into the pack of a small bundle
which be had Intended for Catherine,
and Eepslbah had changed a world.
On such trivial happenings do the most
powerful of the fatea sometimes rest.
Out of the farthest corner of the col
lapsing pack he brought this bundle
to light once more and unwrapped It
aa he turned toward Jeems' "big-eyed,
anxious face.
"Jeemsy," he said, "If I've put the
notches In my memory right, you were
born on the coldest January day I ever
saw, and that makes you just twelve
years and four months old this eve
ning, which means that only three
years and eight months He be
twixt you and the day when you can
be counted a man. According to law,
you are a king's subject of maturity
from that day and can take life and
all Its belongings into your own hands,
so long as you are honest about It,
and can stand up in equality before
the stiffest periwigged Judge in the
Colonies or New France. In other
words, Jeemsy, I mean that in less

Enlightened, or the Uuddha, for whom
the temple bells tinkle In Ceylon and

A bit of the ashes of the All Wise

full-fledged man!"
Having delivered himself of this In
troductory peroration Hepslbah fin
ished unwrapping the package, and
never had Catherine beheld such a
handsome piece of velvet as that
which her brother displayed in the
candle glow. It was. par excellence,
the finest of the treasures he had
brought, a cloth of matchless beauty, a
crimson glory so filled with changing
tuunors and colors thnt It seemed to
be alive In his hands. Surely this was
another present for his mother, Jeems
thought. But to his atnnreinont and
Catherine's surprise Hepslbah thrust
the cloth Into Jcema hands.
"For Mademoiselle Marie Antoinette
Tonteur from her devoted admirer,
Daniel James Bulaln," he announced.
"Jeemsy, don't blush. Twelve and ten
are not far from sixteen and fourteen,
when you will be man and woman,
and if ever a seigneur's daughter finds
herself lucky it will be on the day she
marries a son of the tribe of Adams.
The writing on it, Jeemsy, tells wliere't
came from and how much It cost;
and along with It I have brought yon
some nankeen for britches and clothes,
four shirts, and a three-cornered hut
with a black ribbon, six handker
chief s. and a Jnckkntfe, two pairs o'
serge britches, as many of now shoes,
and this," and from the now com
pletely emptied pack he drew forth a
beautiful long barreled pistol, his ryes
aglow with a lighting man's pride as
he fondled It In the light of the can
dles and pointed out Its merits in
Jeems. "As long as you live, you must
never part with this pistol, Jeemsy,"
he said. "It Isn't new, you sec, but Its
record Is one of glory as long as my
arm, and I'll tell you about It si.ni.
day. It's a killer, lad, a killer deadly
and sure, good for a hundred paces
with leas than an Inch of drop," and
he gave the weapon Into Jeems' hands.
An Instant of disapproval gathered
in Catherine's eyes.
"It was kind of you to bring the
cloth for Antoinette but I do not care
for the pistol, Hepslliah," she said.
"A pistol makes me think of men
fighting men. And here we are at
peace, having need only of t he rifle
and of Jeemsy's bow and arrows to
bring us meat. I feel It Is not bet!M
As she simke thus confidently of
pence, a cloud came ovrr llepsihuh's
face, but In a moment he had laughed
it away and was telling her that with
in a week she would be as proud of
her boy's marksmanship as nho now
seemed fearful of the pistol's Influ
ence upon his future.
The next day was the day of the
auction sale nt Lunu's place. I .tut
san was a wealthy fanner nt the edge
of the next selgneurle, ten miles away.
He was returning to his old home near
the Isle of Orleans, a country he l.ked
better than the Ulchelleii, and was
selling most of his goods. Among
these were a plow with an Iron point,
a forty-gallon snap kettle, and a loom
which Jeems' father wanted, so he
had planned to start with the ox
early In the morning. Jeems had heard
Tonteur sny he intended to buy Lus
san's three slaves, n mother and father
and daughter, and that the young
wench was for Tolnette. Tolnette
would be with her father. He would
take his treasure package with him to
Lussan's and f.nd an opportunity to
give It to her.
Should I'aul Tache be there and
dare to overlord him again, or laugh
In his meanly suggestive way, or apeak
sneeringly, or so much as say a word
against his gift for Tolnette. . . .
A rumble of fresh-growing thunder
was advancing out of the west, and
preceding It cam a roar of wind and
a deluge of rain. Lightning cut once
more In vivid flashings across the nar
row panes of the bedroom window,
and the roof seemed to bend and
groan under a sudden torrential bom
bardment. Jeems fought In nnlson
with the elements. His spirit mounted
savagely with the turmoil. He had
hla enemy down and was thrusting
hla head Into wet and slimy mud. He
waa beating his face and eyes, and
polling bis splended raiment, and
pulling out his hair. And Marie An
toinette was looking on. With the gor
geous red velvet In her hands and her
eyes big and starry, she was watching
him as he choked and kicked and pom
melled the life out of I'uul Tache!
The outburst of thunder and wind
and deluge, a whim of playful spring,
passed as swiftly as It had come, and,
In passing, It left Jeems breathing
quickly and fiercely in his bed.
He had risen In these momenta to
reckless height and his mind, hot
with Its desire for action, had aettled
with grim assurance upon what would
happen the next day.
First he would present his gift to
Tolnette.
Then he would do what hla Uncle
Hep had told him to do. He would
whip I'aul Tache.
