I think that saying of his sums up the philosophy that he would teach to all women 'What you don't know won't hurt you!" A week or so later Sylvia wrote me that her husband was in New York. And I waited another week, for good measure, and then one morning dropped in for a call upon Claire Lepage. Why did I do it? you ask.
Far off, against the eastern horizon, appeared a group of moving figures. That night the broken segments of the White Guard were reunited, and Clive Lepage slept by the side of Jaspar Hume. Napoleon might have marched back from Moscow with undecimated legions safely enough, if the heart of those legions had not been crushed.
Further on, p. 150, he tells us, that there is no example of an Indian, who, having fallen into the hands of his enemies, begged for his life; on the contrary, the captive sought to obtain death at the hands of his conquerors by the use of insult and provocation. See "Histoire de la Louisiane," by Lepage Dupratz; Charlevoix, "Histoire de la Nouvelle France;" "Lettres du Rev.
And there's a young fellow who's coming on now that I've seen a lot of called Lepage Bastien Lepage, who's going to be a wonder. I can tell you, sometimes when I think of the dear old Guv'nor's business, and how he had set his heart on my going into it, I can hardly believe it's true that I've been there, free to do my own work, with those men...."
"Yes." The hands of the sub-factor chafed those of the other. "But you said you were a friend, and come to save me." "I have come to save you." There was a shiver of the sufferer's body. This discovery would either make him stronger or kill him. Hume knew this, and said: "Lepage, the past is past and dead to me; let it be so to you." There was a pause. "How did you know about me?"
On the twenty-first of October the explorers discovered a considerable stream which appeared to rise in the southeast and empty into the Columbia on the left. To this stream they gave the name of Lepage for Bastien Lepage, one of the voyageurs accompanying the party. The watercourse, however, is now known as John Day's River.
Lepage braced himself for a heavy task and said: "Hume, if the time has come to say good-bye, it has also come when we should speak together for once openly: to settle, in so far as can be done, a long account. You have not let my wife know who saved me. That appears from her letters. She asks the name of my rescuer. I have not yet told her. But she will know that to-day when I tell her all."
Lepage could have succeeded in any profession; Hume had only heart and mind for one. "Only for one, Bouche, you understand. He lived in it, he loved it, he saw great things to be achieved in it. He had got an idea. He worked at it night and day, he thought it out, he developed it, he perfected it, he was ready to give it to the world.
"I was at Fort Providence. There came letters from the Hudson's Bay Company, and from your wife, saying that you were making this journey, and were six months behind " "My wife Rose!" "I have a letter for you from her. She is on her way to Canada. We are to take you to her." "To take me to her." Lepage shook his head sadly, but he pressed to his lips the letter that Hume had given him.
The sub-factor turned at the door. "If it will please you, tell your wife that I saved you. Some one will tell her; perhaps I would rather at least it would be more natural, if you did it." He passed out into the sunshine that streamed into the room and fell across the figure of Lepage, who murmured dreamily: "And begin the world again." Time passed.
