CHAPTER III Continued
Conrenllng himself behind tha bole
of a tree, Jeema watched them n they
paaaed, ao near that a peliMe flung by
a hoof of one of tha honiea fell at his
aldo. Ills cotirnce almost failed hi in
then, fur while his bunds clenched at
tht alght of I'aul Tn he, his henrt fnl
tered In Its beating as his attention
turned fmio his enemy to Tolnette.
Kha had become, all at once, a young
lady whom ha could eaxlly believe he
had never anon before, and the change
In bar held him for a few moments so
forgetful of his own exlatenrt that
ha would have been discovered had
one of the three happened to glnnra In
his direction. Tolnette wna wearing
her first riding suit, a gorgeous blue
camlet trimmed with silver, Just r
rlvad from Quebec, With this she
wore a smartly cocked beaver hut
which bore a radish feather, and from
under this hat her long dark hair fell
In a cascade of carefully made curls,
partly restrained to thnlr freedom by
two or three red rlhbona enmeiihed
among them. She was superbly aware
of the lovely figure she made, and
every Inch of her body waa at dig-
nlflad tension aa aha rode pant the
place where Jaerr.4 wna hidden.
After she had gone, Jeema felt an
overwhelming mnsa of littleness snd
unimportance. For Tolnette was na
longer Tolnette, but a real prtneeis,
grown up. And I'aul Tnche, riding
close heolde her, with hair powdered
and tied and with a red velvet ennt
that could be seen a mile away, seemed
I now to ba Infinitely removed from the
' plottlngs which he had conceived
i against him. lie stepped from behind
I the tree and stooped to pick up the
pebble which Tolnette' borne hnd
1 flung at hi in. lie could henr the auc
tioneer's voice, and other bidding for
Lussan's properties. ' Then came a
burst of Isuchter which roue with un-
I restrained ahnndon above all other
j sound, a blunt of merriment which he
would have recognUed anywhere In
the world. Only his Uncle llepalhah
could laiiKh like that Tho sights and
excitements of the scene about him
would have made for him one of the
most thrilling events of his forest
rimmed world, had his heart not been
choked with the emotions of Impend
ing drama. Yet he did at press his
dealrea by nndue haste, and It was
half an hour before ha found hlmaelf
close to the one who occupied his
thoughts. This happened In such a
fortuitous wsy thst Tolnette, con
cealed by the ample forms of I.ussan'i
wife and daiiKhter, was within a foot
of his shoulder before ho knew It.
fche did not see him, and he stood
with wildly beating heart, breathing
the faint perfume from her person, his
senses dnr.ed by the nearness of her
splendor and his world of rlslon filled
only with a great brond brimmed lint,
an enravlshliig mass of ItiMcoii curls,
suiiNet of crimson ribbon, a piilr of
Mm shoulders and then, his pnrn
dlse broken by the ugliness of reality,
he discovered Paul Tuche. The young
mnn was returning from a Journey to
the barrels, and, when he snw Jeems,
a contemptuous smile twisted his lips.
It was this look which turned Tolnette
o that she found Jeems standing be
(ride her, his enp and pnckiiKe In
his hands, hla face tensely set as he
fought himself Into obliviousness of
his rlvnl's presence.
He held out his gift to her.
"My ITncle Hepslbuh hna just come
from the Kiiglinh colonies, nnd he
brought me this that I might In turn
give It to you. Will you accept It,
Tolnette?"
lie forgot Tan! Tnche. Spots of red
ramo Into his cheeks ns Tolnelte's sur
prised eyes greeted him. She almost
smiled, and as If something miiilo her
forgetful of her niiiKiilflcenco nnd the
dignity It Imposed, she extended her
hnnd to receive the piiekiige. Tho
milliner In which sho accepted hla
gift sent the blood rnclng through his
body. The color deepened In her
cheeks, and, mistaking this for still
greater evidence of the pleasurable
thrill ha hud given hfr, Jeems was
sure she was about to tlnink him for
tils gift, when I'uul stood beside them.
Ignoring Jcrms, Tolnette' cousin led
her away, politely relieving her of the
pncknge as they went. It was then
Tolnette turned to smile at Jeems, In
spite of the eyes she knew were watch
ing her. In this snme moment her
escort allowed the packnge to drop
surreptitiously from his hand.
This net, Inspired by a contempt
for the forest boy, and urged by a
meeoncsi of spirit hidden under a die
sis r of wealth and Una clothes, iweot
Jeems thought from Tolnette, whose
nenrness of person, surprising beituty
and sweetness of disposition had nl
most made htm forget his one renson
for being at Luwoin's sale. This weiik
liens In tha armor of his Intentions
was scaled When he saw his present
full to the ground. Tolnette became
Instantly Immiiterlul In the path of a
stortn of emotion which caught and
held him fiercely. lie saw only one
person where there were two, and that
one was I'aul Tache. In a brnln
white with heat, and In eyes blinded
to the presence of all living forms ex
cept that of the youth who hnd dark
ened hla mind with bitterness, Tolnette
ceased to exist for him, and when he
sprang forward to recover the bundle,
It waa not with the thought that he
waa rescuing It for her, but that It
waa to be his reason for glorious war
when the moment was at hnnd for him
to hurl It In his rival's face.
Detaching themselves from the shift
Ing groups of which they hnd been a
part, Tolnette and young Tache
trolled to their horses, knowing that
many glances followed their elegant
departure. Giving themselves a brief
time In which to ba admired, they
auntered Into tha gardens back of
Lussan's house.
Jeems was only a few steps from
I'aul and Tolnette when they disap
peared behind the house. He held
bark with a feeling of satisfaction when
Ha Had Ntvsr Fought With An
other Boy.
he saw the two going down a path
which took them out of sight of any
curious eyes thst might have watched
them. Not until the last flutter of
Tolnette's skirt waa gone did he pro
ceed with tha buslnesa of following
them, and then, like an Indian, he
slipped noiselessly along the path and
found them standing, somewhat per
plexed, at the edge of a soggy and ill
smelling open space where Lussan had
built his bam and wherein his cattle
and pigs had gathered for so long that
one waa sure of a precarious and un
pleasant footing. Tolnette, her chin
t'.lted, flush of Indignation In her
eyea as she held up her skirt, with
both hands, was on the point of loo.
Ing her w rath upon her escort for dur
ing to bring her to such a place of de
filement when Jeema Btepped out from
a rlin of bushes and confronted them.
Ills face was pule. His slim body
wna as tnut as a bowstring. Ills eyes
were almost black. He did not see
Tolnette, scarcely knew thnt she was
In bis world, even as her anger gave,
place to an exclnmntton of surprise
when she saw in his hand the packnge
which he hnd given her a few minutes
before. He approached I'aul Tache,
and that youth, misinterpreting the
slowness of his movement and the
bloodless pallor of his face as signs of
embarrassment and feur, sought to
cover his dlsgruce In Tolnette's eyea
by an explosion of haughty protest at
being followed and spied upon In this
way. Jeems made no reply except to
hold out the pucknge. Sight of It
choked the words In the other's throat.
Jeems' silence and the way In which
he continued' to extend the pnckiitie
brought a deep color Into l'uiil's fuce.
He nnd not Jeems was conscious of
the amazement In Tolnette's counten
ance and of the Intensity of her In
terest In the situation. He recovered
himself swiftly and, with a guileful
chnnge of munner, held out his hnnd.
"I'ardop he," he apologized. "It Is
good of you to bring the package
which I accldentnlly dropped."
Jeems cume a step nearer.
"Vou lie I" ha cried, and with a
furious movement he hurled the bun
dle at Tnche'g face.
The force of the blow sent Timl
reeling backward, nnd Jeems was at
him with the quickness and passion
of one suddenly transformed by mad
ness. He had never fought with an
other boy. Hut he knew how niilmalsj
clawed nnd disemboweled. In a hun
dred ways he had viewed strife and
death aa the wilderness knew these
things. And all that he hud wit
nessed, all that he knew of torture
and violence and the desire to malm
nnd kilt gave to hla action a character

waatsssaas
of such lively ferocity thut It drew a
howl of pain from I'uul Tache and a
shrill little scream from Tolnette.
Jeems henrd the scream, but It held
no significance for him now. Ills
dreams were gone, and Tolnette, her
presence close to him, her eyes upon
the buttle jutt ns he had Imagined In
the thrill of his menial vlKlonlngs
wo forgotten in the more vital depths
of his Interest In the flesh and blood
of Paul. In the first attack, his An
gers clutched like small Iron claws In
the folds of Tuche's cravat and coat,
and the rending of cloth, a splitting
asunder of gorgeous material almost
to the other's waist, was evidence of
the strength behind his assault He
followed this with a fury of scratch
ing end tearing and both went down
In the melee. When they rose, Paul
heaving himself up with an effort
which flung Jeems from hi in, they
were such a sight of muck and stain
thnt .Tolnette forgot her precious
dress and covered her eyes In horror.
Hut she was looking again In un In
stant, for the spectacle fuscinnted even
as It appalled hf, Jeems had landed
on his feet with a fist loaded with
mud, and this he projected with an
aim so accurate that half of I'mil's
face was obliterated by It, and as ha
leapt with a roar of rage at his
smaller assailant, he was such a shock
ing contrast to his usual Immaculate
elf that Tolnette nearly ceased to
breathe. Then she saw and heard
what her feminine eyes and Instincts
could not understand or keep proper
count of, a mad twisting and tumbling
of bodies, panting breaths, grunts, and 1

I'aul Tache. With that aound Jeema
flew backward and landed on bis back.
He was op almost before he bad
struck, and with his hesd ducked low
like a ram's In a chsrge, he hurled
himself at Tache. This Individual,
having cleared hla eyes sufficiently to
perceive the blindness of the other's
rush, stepped aside and swung a well
directed blow which again sent Jeems
down Into the muck. His hand filled
Itself with this sticky substance a sec
ond time, and as he returned to battle
be let It fly at Paul. Profiting by ex
perience, Paul dodged skillfully, and
the volley passed over hla bead,
spreading tn Its flight, and full In Its
contaminating virulence upon Tolnette.
She saw her raiment spotted and de
filed, and such a sudden fury rose In
her that she sprang upon Jeems as
he clawed and kicked In a clinch with
Paul, and axsalled him with all the
strength and bitterness of her small
fists and biting tongue.
Jeems had seen the tragedy of tha
misdirected mud, and he knew that
Tolnette's bunds and not Paul's were
pulling viciously at his hair. There Is
a hurt which bears with It a sting of
satisfaction, and this emotion pressed
upon Jeems as he fought desperately
In front and felt himself attacked
treacherously from behind. For Paul
was accountable for the mishap to
Tolnette. Had the other not dodged
In a cowardly fashion, allowing the
stuff to pass on to her, the thing

inspiration of this thought with Its ap

biyitiug at his back,' had raised his
struggle to epic heights. The strength
of martyrdom filled bis lean arms and
body, and he fought with a renewed
fierceness that made his heavier but
aofter antagonist give way before the
punishment, and both went down to
earth again. Tolnette fell with them,
her long skirt Impeding the activity of
their legs, her big hat hanging like a
sunshade over her face, her beauti
fully made curls tangled nnd spotted
with mud. her hands beating angrily
at whichever of the two chanced to
como in her way.

Good old Castoria! There's comfort
in every drop of this pure vegetable
C reparation, and not the slightest
arm in its frequent use. As often
as Baby has a fretful B)cll, is
feverish, or cries and can't sleep,
let Castoria soothe and quiet him.
Sometimes it's a touch of colic.
Other times it's constipation. Or
diarrhea a condition that should
always be checked promptly.
Just keep Castoria handy, and give
it promptly. Relief will follow very
promptly; if it doesn't you should
