canoe upon one CT the many l}tle islands

and reckless frontier man began to make
preparations for camping, with US much
nonchalance as if he had not lately been
pursued by fifty savages, bent on his de-
slruction. First, however, with the hab-
ilual caution of all educated among such
scenes, and living ever amid danger, be
examined the island upon which he had
landed. Il was low, rocky, and, except
near the centre, uncovered by trees, tho
there the larch, hemlock and fir were In
locked SO as to be almost impassable.-
Bending down as neal as possible to the
water, he searched, but vainly, for any
trace Of his enemies. Nothing broke
the clear, CLASSY sheet of water. Dimly
he could see the distan; main shore. anC
no camp fires cleaned there. Satisfied
of this, he carefully lifted his canoe upor
the smooth rocks, so that no crafty eve
could tell of his landing, and hId it in the
dense lhichet. Thither, also, he clawled
and, wearied and hungry as he was (fol

dared to do so, and the time permitted,

had disappeared, and the dawn preceding
