Shilah it was where Virginie Poucette's sister lived; and Virginie had been a part of the great revelation of his life at St. Saviour's. As he was walking by the riverside at Shilah, a woman spoke to him, touching his arm as she did so. He was in a deep dream as she spoke, but there certainly was a look in her face that reminded him of someone belonging to the old life.

He was in a deep dream as she spoke, but there certainly was a look in her face that reminded him of someone belonging to the old life.
His long, long sojourning had brought him to Shilah where a new chapter of his life was closed, and at last to Askatoon, where another chapter still closed an epoch in his life, and gave finality to all. There he had been taken down with congestion of the lungs, and, fainting at the door of a drug-store, had been taken possession of by the Young Doctor, who would not send him to the hospital.
"Well, when Virginie sold her place here and went to live with her sister out at Shilah in the West, she said, 'If Jean Jacques is alive, he will be on the land which was Zoe's, which he bought for her.
Thus it was that Shilah ever seemed to him, as he worked West, a goal in his quest not the last goal perhaps, but a goal. He had been far past it by another route, up, up and out into the more scattered settlements, and now at last he had come to it again, having completed a kind of circle. As he entered it, the past crowded on to him with a hundred pictures.

Indeed, Jean Jacques was not so old that she would have found it difficult to take a well-defined and warm interest in him, were circumstances propitious. She held out the letter to him at once. "It is from my sister in the West at Shilah," she explained. "There is nothing in it you can't read, and most of it concerns you."

Of all things that could be said about him, that which Jean Jacques said was the worst that he was not all white, that he had nigger blood! Yet it was true; and he realized that Jean Jacques must have got his information in Shilah itself where he had been charged with it.
It was in the town of Shilah on the Watloon River that the bells boomed out not because he had encountered one he had ever known far down by the Beau Cheval, or in his glorious province, not because he had found his Zoe, but because a man, the man not George Masson, but the other met him in the way.
