to Richard, said:
Scan YOU inform me of anything
concerning the youth whom | so I'M
fortunately wounded! | found him
on the mountain, hunting in company
with the Leather-Stocking, as if they
were of the same family; but there Is
a manifest difference in their manners.
The youth delivers himself in chosen
language such as is seldom heard in
these hills, and such as occasions
great surprise to me, how one so
meanly clad, and following so lowly
pursuit, could attain. Mohegan also
knew him. Doubtless he is a tenant
of Natty's hut. Did you notice the
language of the lad, Monsieur Le-
Quoi"
"Certainment, Mansieur Tempt,

glaise."
'The boy is not a miracle, eXclaim-
ed Richard I've known children that
we're sent to school early talk much
better before they were twelve years
old. But this gentleman ought to be
put in the stocks if he ever takes a
rein in his hand again. He is the
most awkward fellow about horse |
ever met with. l dare say he never
drove anything but oxen in his life"
"There | think, Dickon, you do the
lad injustice" said the Judge; she
uses much discretion in critical mo-
ments. Dost thou not think so,
Bess 2"
There was nothing in this question
particularly to excite the bushes of a
maiden, but Elizabeth started from
the reverie into which she had fallen,
and colored to her forehead, as she
answered.
'"To me, my dear sir, he appeared
extremely skillful, and prompt, and
courageous; but perhaps Cousin Rich
ard will say l am as ignorant as the
gentleman himself"
"Gentleman p echoed Richard "do
you call such chaps gentlemen, at
school, Elizabeth"
EVERY man is q gentleman who
knows how to treat a woman with re-
spect and consideration" returned the
young lady, promptly, and with an
air of little dignity.
''Well, well" said Richard. "to me
he seemed anything but gentleman
| must say, however, for the lad, that
he draws a good trigger, and has q
true aim. He's good at shooting q

"Richart," said Major Hartmann,
turning his grave countenance toward
the gentleman he addressed, with much
earnestness, "ter poy is goot. He
savet your life, and my life, and tel
life of Tominie Grant, and ter life Of

Olives he in the hut of Bumppo

and the full black eyes of Elizabet
resting intently on the scorched visag
of the steward, while she waited h
