The girl moved gently about, preparing and lighting the lamp, measuring the tea, her fair head bowed gracefully over her task, her dark eyes pensive and but half following what she did. Finally with a certain air of decision she seated herself on the arm of a chair. "Father," said she. "Yes." "A stranger came to-day with Louis Placide of Kettle Portage." "Well?"

The old Park theatre what names, reminiscences, the words bring back! Placide, Clarke, Mrs. Vernon, Fisher, Clara F., Mrs. Wood, Mrs. Seguin, Ellen Tree, Hackett, the younger Kean, Macready, Mrs. Richardson, Rice singers, tragedians, comedians. What perfect acting!

"August will decide our freedom, if it is not decided before. August is the season when Nature comes in as our ally comes in with her army of horrors, which we should not have the heart to invoke, but which will arrive, with or without our will; and which it will be the fault of the French themselves if they brave." "Foul airs and pestilence, you mean!" said Placide.

But by a stroke of Providence, Monsieur Coquart, missionary to the French, arrived, and I desired the commandant to give me leave to retire which he granted together with a passport permitting me to remain at the priests' house in my mission where I am now." I am indebted to Placide P. Gaudet for the above extract.

Placide had discharged this kind of duty, however, and now appeared to fulfil the other of sharing the captivity of his parents. He leaped into the boat, breathless, after it had pushed off from the shore. "In time, thank God!" gasped he. "He can hardly speak!" exclaimed his mother. "He is wet! He is wounded cruelly wounded!" "Not wounded at all, mother. Whole in heart and skin!

If I meet Placide, I will send him home." He disappeared under the limes in the avenue; and his family heard the pace of the horses quicken into a gallop before the sound died away upon the road. The party of deputies with whom Monsieur Bayou was dining were assembled at the great hotel, at the corner of Place Mont Archer, at Cap Francais.

"I am directed, General Toussaint," said he, "in case of your refusal to join the French forces immediately, to convey your sons back to the guardianship of the Captain-General Leclerc: and it will be my duty to set out with them at dawn." A cry of anguish broke forth from Margot, and Placide was instantly by her side.

But with all that, Placide," and the man's quivering voice went straight to the very tenderest core of my heart for the depths of bitterness it contained, "in spite of it all she'd rather be back in the country breathing the pure and peaceful air, a guiltless and happy girl, than to live as she does, and rule the land. God knows I wish we had never seen Paris."

He assured Genifrede he could not really intend to go. He had only been fancying what a war with the white masters would be. He hated the whites heartily; but he loved this place much more. Placide and Isaac might go, but he should stay. Nothing should part him from those he loved best. Toussaint was not unmindful of what was passing.

Now Louis Placide surprises you in a rapids near Kettle Portage and brings you here." During the slow delivering of these accurately spaced words, the attitude of the men about the long, narrow table gradually changed. Their curiosity had been great before, but now their intellectual interest was awakened, for these were facts of which Louis Placide's statement had given no inkling.
