Instantly the soldiei^ and sailors came

" Tis an honoi indeed sir and I thank

with pleasure ' I mjself will lead them '

answered Giaflipn 'Captain Rous ma I

It was difficult to make selection of the
lequired number Presently upon Graf
ton's assurance that all was reach, the
m en slowly filed down cner the Ride and
took their places in the boats Taking hi
own boat the captain lowed fiom ship to
ship, finding that all prepai ations had
been made eveivwhere and that boats
filled with men and manned by stout sea
men were already clustei ed undt i the
lee of the ships where they could be
coreened from the observation of the
Fren ch at Cap-Rouge
By 12 o Uocls. midnight, the embarka
tion had been completed, and as it v.as
Hearing the end of the flood the boats
Blowlv put off from the ships and headed
from Cap-Rouge, General Monckton being
in charge and Wolfe remaining on the
Sutherland foi the present
The flotilla approached close enough to '
Cap-Rouge thoroughly to awaken the at
tentlon of the troops of Bougainville, who
sprang to their arms In expectation of
the threatening attack But the advance
had stopped before they were near enough
to engage After some little maneuver

on the shore, the boats, as if de
terred by the promptness of the French
soldiery, rowing back to the ships and
sheltered themselves under the lee of
their broadsides again, where they could
not be seen Once there the men with
out going aboard the ships, waited
patiently for the turning of the tide
A t four bells in the mid-watch or 2
o clock on the morning of the 13th Wolfe
entered the heavy cuttei which Grafton
had exchanged for his gig and gave the
signal to shove off Following the gen
eial s boat came the boats of the light
Infantry, and after them the rest of the
flotilla-
It was darker th an ever The sky was
filled with light fleecy clouds drifting rap
Idly across the stars, their wild motion,
driven as they were by some upper cur
rent of air, only accentuating the stillness
on the water Hugging the qpposite shoi e
for a time the boats floated silently down
the river with the young ebb As they
appeared to be unnoticed from the camp
at Cap-Rouge and as their maneuv ers ex
cited no attention, oars were broken out
and the boats crossed to the Quebec side
the seamen rowing gently as they passed
rapidly down the riv er.
The men had received stilct orders and
thev pat in the cutters and bateaux which
had been provided to supplement the
ships boats, in silence broken onlv heie
and there bv a whupeied word or two
among the officers aft or bv the muffled
rattle of the oars in the row locks The
bb was running stionger now and with
the curient b ut Uttlp work was necessary
to enable them to reach the desiied point
In good time
"Wolfe, wrapped in a boat-cloak for the
ii had grown chill sat In the btern
aheeti of Grafton s boat, half-reclining,
his long legs stietthed out before him
Grafton himself held the tillei Midsl ip
, man Robinson. Lieutenant Hatfield of the
Sutherland, General Monckton, and one
or two staff offtcets made up the party
Forward in the boat sat Captain Stobo
who had discoveied the vheieabouts ot
the landing-place while a piosonei at
Quebec, who had undertaken to pilot them
in By his side was a Scotsman an offi
cer of Frazers Highlanders who in the
Jacobite court of the Stuaits In Fiance,
had learned to speak French fluently He
had recently given his allegiance to King
S3eOrg and was to seive him well
that night Wolfe respected his
own orders and said but little as they
floated down the stream past the black
frowning cliffs and the tree-clad hills
There was a young m an llvng m England
then, nam ed Thomas Gray who was a
gre at friend of Wolfe s and a certain piece
of poetry which he had written and which
was beginning to be much thought of there
and much more thought of sincecame
Into the mind of the so'diei as they drifted
down the river Perhaps he mused on the
Inevitable conclusion personally before
him perhaps, by one of those stiange
premonitions which seem sometimes to
visit those doomed to die, there may have
flashed before his mind In that still hour a
viBion of his triumph and of his end, the
dawn already beginning with pale giay
ness "to lace, the east' may have brought
to his mind the ' breezy call of incense
breathing morn," and have suggested the
poem At any rate he broke the silence
by repeating some of the mystic mournful
lines H e spoke in a low whisper, half
soliloquizing, yet all m the boat could
near him
The night the silence the broad bosom
10of the noble river, the towering cliffs close
at hand all impressed the intent listeners
Most of them were blunt soldiers or sailors
- men bred to the profession of arms who
lived the haid life of the armv or navy in
i that rude day who cared but little tor the
finer arts and graces of life vet the im
piessiveneas of thevnoment, the fancy of

As the words fell fiom his lips he
stopped as if startled by their significance
Gentlemen ' he said at last, "I wou'd
rathei have written that poem than take
Quebec
He was silent again foi a little space
aftei this sui prising deciaration ^ o one
broke the reverie In which the geneial
seemed plunged after that and before he
spoke again a voice called out from the
black mass of the shoie
Qui vive
It was the old cry of the soldiers of
France the bold demand with which, as of
yoie they met their ancient foes, rang
sharply over the waters through the night
Fiance" ' piomptly replied the Jacobite
in the bow with leady piesence of mind
' A quel regiment'" called the hidden
sentiv
' De la Reine
lent Fien ch
It was the name of one of the regiments
known to be with Bougainville So far
the conversation had been ea*v, b ut if
the Frenchman asked more if he de
manded the passwordwhat then'
lhe men in the boat held then
bitath as they drifted on, but
the uiseen watcher was satisfied, appar
entlv for he said nothing more
I his auguis well for our success'
whimpered Wolfe to Grafton after the last
boat h id passed the danger point ' He
evidently thinks we aie "
Hfr was inteiTupted again They weie
neaiei the shoie now There were fewer
tiees too A challenge rang out over
the watei once more Thev could see
this sontrv nmning toward the bank of
the rivei This one was wiser th an the
othei he demanded to know what boats
those weie
Provision boats for Quebeo," answeied
the Scotsman readily ' Be quiet' Don t
make a noise or the English will heai us' '
As it happened there was an English
sloop out in the rivei and the man wav
ing his hard said no more They were
=afe asrain But the suspense was ter
nble Fortunately it was soon relieved
Presently the boats swept around a hu-,
headland jutting out into the stieam Be
low the headland lay a little cove lhe
current shot swiftly about the promontory
and swept around the little bav The
boats were cairied below the landing
place and it took some hard pulling beiore
their stems touched the shore
Wolfe had gone forwaid in the cutter
and the otheis diawing back to give him
passage he was the first man to set foot
upon the muddy shore It was 4 o clock
now Ihev could hear eight bells chim
ing faintly from a ship in the river Daw n
was beginning across the hills Around
them m the shadow it was as still as
deaththat most silent hour before the
day breaks 4. gentle breeze had sprung
up and was sighing softly through the
trees at the top of the cliff, the sky was
overcast, they would have rain presently
_About two hundred feet away, since it
was low tide, the bluffs rose precipitously
from the level of the beach There
was room at the base to d'sembark a
whole army After Wolfe and the officers,
including Grafton, had landed, the light
infantry noiselessly clambered out of the
boats and advanced tow aid the foot of the
cliffs
It was as dark as midnight under their
shadow but at the top the first grayness
of the coming morning was dimly percept
ible Trees were silhouetted against the
s^j and the tents white blurs, could be
seen from the river The enemy was
theie then Was he ready? They would
soon know
A zigzag path, up which a single file of
men might with difficulty make its wav,
broke the sheei face of the cliff It had
been barricaded with heavy timbers and
was, at present unscalable
There was a momentaiy pause
It seemed as if the whole enterprise, so
brilliantly conceived and so successfully
carried out hitherto, would be blocked by
this unfortunate obstacle They had
succeeded In landing unobserved, but if
they attempted to tear down the
bamcade they would inevitably attract
the attention of the negligent defenders
at the top of the path Under such cir
cumstances the attempt would have to
be given over As Wolfe had said,
one hundred men might hold that
towering cliff against an army
IS A SERIOUS MATTER,
The Most Serious and Fatal Diseases
Arise from Indigestion,
Chionic indigestion, or Dyspepsia while
a v erv common trouble has for some time
been lodked upon by able physicians as a
serious thing and that r o time should be
lost in treating it properly at the start,
because lecent researches have shown that
the mo'bt serious fatal and incurable dis
eases have their origin in simple dyspep
sia or indigestion
Diabetes is simplv one form of indiges
tion the sugar and starchy food not be
ing assimilated by the digestive organs
In Blights disease the albumen is not
propei ly assimilated
While consumption and dvspepsia aie
twin diseases and it is beyond question
that dy spepsia makes a fertile soil foi the
seeds of consumption But the tiouble
has been to And a remedy that could be
depended upon to cuie dyspepsia, as it is
notoriously obstinate and difficult to cuie
This has been the question which has
puzzled physicians and dyspeptics alike,
until the question was solved three years
ago by the appearance of a new discovery
in the medical world known as Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets which it was claimed
was a certain reliable cure for every form
of stomach trouble
Physicians, however, would not accept
such statements without first giving the
new remedy many tests and carefully ob
serving results
For th*ee years the remedy has been
thoroughly tested in every section of the
countiy and with surprising and satisfac
tory results
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be hon
estly claimed to be a specific, a radical,
lasting cure for indigestion in ths various
forms of acid dyspepsia or sour stomach,
gas or wind on stomach, too much bile,
undue fullness or pressure after eating,
and similar symptoms, resulting from dis
ordered digestion
Stuart s Dyspepsia Tablets were not
placed before the public until this three
years trial left no doubt as to their value,
and they have recently been placed Jn the
trade and can be found on sale at alf drug
gists at the nominal price of 50 cents per
package
No extravagant claims are made for the
remedy, it will not cure rheumatism,
pneumonia typhoid fevei nor anything
but just what it is claimed to cure, and
that is every foim of stomach trouble No
dieting is necessary good wholesome food
and plenty of it and vou mav lest assuied
that Stuart s Dvspepsia Tablets will digest
it Diuggists claim for it that it fs a
pleasuie to lecommend it to dvspeptics,
because It gives such universal satisfac
tion
was the reply In excel-
"I think we can scramble up the cliff
by the aid of these trees," said Howe at
last
It was a bold proposition Wolfe looked
at him gratefully and approvingly I t
was their only chance, and the young gen
eral gavg the signal for the attempt in
these not veiv encouraging words
"You may try it, Colonel Howe, b ut I
do not think you will succeed Captain,"
he added turning to one of his staff, "tell
General Monckton to keep the lest of the
men quiet in the boats for a few moments
We may have no need for them "
As he spoke Howe and his gallant twen
ty-foui spvng at the cliff Thev were
soon lost in the shadow covering th" face
of it and the watchers below could trace
the course of their slow and painful as
cent by the Clashing sounds they made,
as by the aid of stunted trees growing in
clumps he^re and there they made their
toilsome wav upward Why the French
did not discover them has never been ex
plained
The whole future histoiy of the woikl
depended upon the success of the endeav
oi of that gallant little handful ot men,
and though they m ay not have realized
it as wa do now, something of the im
portance of the attem pt made itself felt
even to them Wolfe, leaning his en
feebled form against a tree stood with
