When Irma Chatterton invited Mary Cuyler to spend a mouth at her cabin in the .Maine woods, Mary, delighted at the opportunity of escaping from her social and business responsibilities, accepted joyfully. Mrs. Chatterton, filled with the maternal impulse of all happily married people to get everybody else in the world safely married, saw to it that Vivian Duncan, a brilliant young politician with splendid prospects, should make one of the house party. Arriving in camp Mary was instantly attracted by the looks of Jacques, a French half-breed, a tall, powerful man with gleaming, magnetic eyes, and arrangements were forthwith made that he should be her personal guide during her visit. The next day Mary and her guide set off on a fishing trip. Jacques, the half-breed, always queer and half insane, was swept over the borderland into madness by his close proximity with this fascinating woman of another world, and when Mary coldly rebuked him, he landed and carried her to a little cabin in the woods. Here he swore she should stay until she would consent to marry him. Meanwhile, the Chattertons were growing distinctly uneasy over Mary's absence, and welcomed Duncan's suggestion that he go and hunt for her. Duncan found the beached canoe and readily traced them to the cabin by a shoe and handkerchief Mary had dropped in her struggle. When Duncan arrived, Jacques was playing with a sharp knife and watching Mary with a wild gleam in his eyes. Duncan sprang on him and a fierce fight ensued in which the politician was the victor. Jacques, cowed by the other's superior physical strength and will, slunk off into the woods and Duncan took Mary back to camp. That afternoon a telegram came for Mary. It reached camp at the very moment that Duncan was seated beside her telling her in a quiet, eager voice how much he liked her. Mary tore open the telegram. It informed her that unknown persons had brought suit against her mining property, and that she was in grave danger of losing her fortune. Duncan changed countenance at the news, and excused himself abruptly. Poor Mary stared after him. "They don't love me at all," she said, "It's just my money."
