Lucas, the younge the two Cullen brother §96 suddenly ap- | peared and, upon the site of the cabin where he and wife lived when they founded St. Florentin and bossed | the men builc the first sawmill, he caused a new, enormous dwelling to be erected Lucas called this a summer tage; and made it famous by bringing| there for the summer the French nobleman, the Marquis de Chenal, “a triend of my daughter Cecelia.”” The]| Marquis so well liked Cecilia and| liked " the place—not to mention Lucas Cullen's millions that he re- mained at St. Florentin all summer. He married Cecelia that winter| and took her—together with a million or so of Michigan forest money—to his chateau in Touraine; and neither of them ever returned to the penin- sula. But Lucas and liis wife and their younger daughter and their two sbns came the next year; then Deborah married a westerner and moved to ‘Wyoming. “Junior” Lucas and his' brother John also married, and their| brother John also married, and their wives preferred the more fashionable resorts of the east for the next sum- mers. So. at the turn of the century, old Lucas and his wife, were coming alone to the enormous frame house | on the edge of the ruined old mill| town above the shores of Lake Huron. | The real reason for Lucas' retreat from Chicago was his break with his brother John. They had always quarreled; but now they ceased to speak, and the same streets could not hold both. The purpose of the builder of the other great house near St. Florentin| was far more puzzling. The site was| upon a tiny island in Lake Huron, half a mile from shore, a rocky, precipitous islet locally known as Resurrection Rock In the summer of 1912, barges appeared and anchored in the smooth | water between Resurrection Rock and the shore; artisans of a dozen| trades lived upon the barges wh they erected a large, handsome house; chimneyed, wide of roof, graceful| and pleasing. But no master of the mansion ap- peared. Instead, the newly com- pleted house was closed; doors locked | and barred, windows soundly shut- tered. A white farmer, who lived a mile or so away upon the opposite mainland, was entrusted with the keys and was paid to inspect the premises periodically. Yes; it was an ordinary enough house, he re- ported. But, after a few inspections alone, | he always took some one with him.| Speculation and wonder in the neigh- borhood soon took weird and fantas-| tic forms.
