Even when face to face with death Nature atlll cried out far her dues, end tbo hungry men turned savagely upon the loef, the ham and the cold wild duck. A little cluster of wine bottles stood upon flie buffet and these had their necks knorked off and were emptied down parched throats. For four hours sounds of riot, of dancing and of reveling rose up from the storehouse, and the smell of tire open brandy casks filled the whole air. More than once the savages quarreled and fought among themselves, and It seemed aa If they had forgot tep their euemles above, but the besieged noon found that If they attempted to presume upon this they were as closely watched ever.

Yet even now hie old fashioned courtesy te his guest had made him turn to Do Catinat with some words of sympathy, when there was a clatter of wood, something darkened the light of the window, and the youug soldier was gone. Without a word he had lowered the ladder and was clambering down it with frantic haste. Then, as hte feat touched the ground, he signaled to hla comrade to draw it up again, and, dashing into the river, be awam toward the canoe. Without arms and without a plan, he had but the one thought that his place was by the aide of his wife in this the honr of her danger. But there waa another whose view of duty led him from safety into tbo fare of danger. All night the Francises a had watched De Catinat aa a miser watches hla treasure, filled with the thought that this heretic was the one little seed which might spread and spread until It choked the chosen vineyard of the church. He, too, clambered down at the very heels of hla prisoner and rushed into the stream not ten paces behind him. And so the watchers at the window saw the strangest of sights. There In midstream lay the canoe, with Its burden of dark warriors, and tbs two women crouching In the midst of them.

Blower and slower grew his stroke and lower and lower hla head until at last with a great shriek of "In manus tuas, Dnmine!" he threw up hla handa and vanished In the swirl of tha river. A minute later tbo watchers, hoarse with screaming to him to return, aw De Catinat pulled aboard the Iroquois canoe, which waa Instantly turned and continued Its coarse up the river. cried Amos hoarsely. "My Ood! "They have taken him! He to lost!" "I have seen some strange things In these forty years, hut never the like of that! said Du Lhut.
