WN'U n London, rescues Robert Juggins from assassins. Juggins proves to be tlfe grandson of a former steward of Ormerods father, to whom Juggins feels himself Indebted. Ormerod tells Juggins he has abandoned the Stuart cause. Juggins informs him of a Jacobite plot in the American colonies to weaken England by forwarding French interests. At its head is Andrew Murray, a Scotsman, and a Frenchman. De Veulle, deadly enemy of The two are in London furthering their schemes. Anticipating the plotters return to America, Juggins arranges for Ormerod to go there with letters to Governor Burnet, friend of Juggins, and work to foil Murray. Disguised as Juggins servant, Ormerod takes passage to America. On the ship he meets a girl, Murrays daughter, ardent Jacobite, who believes him to he loyal to the Stuarts. De Veulle recognizes Ormerod and exposes him. Taken by surprise, Ormerod Is thrown overboard by the negro, Tom, but regains the deck in safety. He accuses Murray of complicity In the attempt , on his life, but of course has no proof. All parties agree on a truce until they reach New York Thera Ormerod saves an Indian chief, from insult, and introduces himself to Governor Burnet, In council. CHAPTER V By S.rrlo pope by making his religion universal on this continent as It Is In South America. Where do Black Robe and Murray make their headquarters? I Inquired. Murray spends part of his time In New York or in Albany, but most of the year he Is absent. He says he is on trading expeditions and we may not disprove It. But we think lie stays at a station which is said to form a depot for the stores smuggled over the Doom Trail. Black Kobe Is reported to have a chnpel there. Tis called La Vierge du Bols, added Cnlden. And where Is it? If I knew, I should order a levy of the militia ami burn It down at risk of my head," retorted the governor. But you must have some Idea where It Is? I pressed incredulously. Governor Burnet put down his pipe and nnrolled n large scroll map which lay amongst the papers on the table. This is New York, Master Ormerod. Our settlements are confined to the coast districts, the Island of Nassau (Long Island)" he motioned toward Continued 10 There was a murmur of assent as gwa-ra-g- er . A thin, bustling, man, with very bright black eyes and a dark, complexion detached himself from the exodus and resumed his chair. Ills nervous fingers quickly tore loose the envelope of the letter I handed him, and he began devouring its contents, regardless of (he confusion around him. "Until tomorrow, gentlemen !

Here, Master Ormerod. you will find only Englishmen laboring to wrest a living from the wilderness and to extend their countrys power and richness. What you were matters Tis what you are we Judge little. you by. "The bargain was typical of Murray. He Is no ordinary villain. Already lie hath persuaded the discontented ele mcnts in the province that I would take thq. bread from their mouths by stopping his trade. Ilut he knows well that I would leap upon the excuse to lay him ty the heels, and he will see to It that no suspicion of your past . escapes." He tl reatened me with the Rod Death this morning." I said. Can you tell me what he meant by It? Tis a saying of the frontier," explained the governor. They call redheaded Bolling and Murray's negro. Tom. the Ked and the Black Deaths, for Murray Is charged with having used them to remove from his path those persons he considers dangerous or whom he honors with his dislike. In the crowd I also heard talk of the Doom Trail," I continued. Governor Burnet smiled grimly. That Is the popular name for the route by which Murray smuggles his trade goods to Canada. Tis said to he the sealing of a man's doom if lie seeks the trail or any information concerning It." "lias the traffic been suspended during Murray's absence?" I asked. BollNo," replied the governor, ing and Black Robe have kept It In motion." And who Is Black Rohe?" The governor laughed outright You are red-ho- t for dangerous Information. Master Ormerod.

We can do nothing with official support, rejoined the surveyor general, and tls probable we shall receive the Instructions of the lords of trade to suspend the law by the next Bristol packet. 'There can be no question of that," agreed the governor. "Well, the law shall be suspended. I will 'have the suspension publicly, proclaimed. Then under cover we must concert the measures to be taken. That will be for Master Ormerod. Do you still crave the opportunity, knowing now the full measure of Its perils, sir?" I am more anxious. If possible, sir," I answered. "1 speak French sufficiently well to pass on the frontier for a Frenchman. As for danger why, your excellency, the man who has ruined his life can have no fear for It. He has all to gain and nothing to lose. True," assented the governor. But you know nothing of woodcraft or the life amongst the savages." Master Juggins gave me a letter to one Peter Corlner, a " Colden sat suddenly erect. Peter came this morning with the Seneca chief. If your excellency will remember," So he did. We will have him In." Colden went out, and returned at once with two companions. One I recognized, to my amazement, as the Indian I had befriended an hour or two earlier. lie greeted me with a faint smile. To the governor he rendered the splendid arm-higsalute, and his deep voice boomed out o !" Qua, Ga-e- n ("Hall, Great Swift Arrow" the Indians name Jor the governor of New York, whoever he might be.) The other man was more like a tavern keeper than a woodsman.

Ills face was tremendous, with little, Insignificant features; but his eyes, behind the rolls of faf which almost masked them, twinkled with constant Interest and animation, belying the air of stolid stupidity he affected. Tills Is Corlner, Master Ormerod," said the governor. And with Mm Is come a friend of ours, one of the two of the Six Nations.

Then he hnnded it to the Indian. You read it, he said. I looked from one to the other with astonishment hut twas the governor who intervened.
