When Nine. Chevreul returned to her
home her husband informed her that
Lemourier insisted upon the immediate
fulfillment of the marriage contract, on
the pretext that. as he was soon to join
the expedition, he wished to gain hus-
bands right to dispose of her future.
At the first shock of this intelligence
Nine. Chevreul wrung her hands in de-
spair; then she sought her niece, whom
she found paler than usual, but quite
calm: and this state of quiescence was
very exasperating to the elder lady, in

while the Mohawks with Brant at their
head stormed their TANKS with toma-

their faces to the foe, they gained the

this is the advance guard of stronger
force, to whom the redskins fed whom
you defeated this morning, instead OF
reinforcing these regulars"
Late in the afternoon the MOhawks
returned with the news that they had
pursued the enemy within the lines of a
force the numbers of which could not be
estimated. A council of officers was
called to whom Selwyn submitted the
alternatives of an immediate march to
Oswego, or to remain and fortify their
position and send messenger to the
fort for instructions. The latter pro-
posal found favor with the majority, as
Renwick suggested that they would
thus be enabled to discover the force of
the enemy and to retreat if necessary.
But Selwyn and Brant urged the pru-
dence of continuing the march until a
better position be found, and game col
lected for subsistence, while if the
enemy attacked them with cannon,
they could not hold their irpresent exposed
position. 1t was therefore decided to
continue the march, and also to send .

through the woods with shrill vibration.
1nvoluntarily he grasped the rifle and
made step forward, then paused and
smiled at his own nervousness; it was
the cry of the cougar; he had heard it
often before. Then the cultural voice
of Brant, the Mohawk chief, muttered
in his ear:
The Hurons will be here at day

He was about to reply, but the red
chief was gone.
An hour before daylight he withdrew
the sentinels from the other side of the

Mohawks in reserve. The stars began
to pale, yet the two scouts had not re-
turned. In the gray dawn the little
army was invisible behind the breast
works. Grant, gliding to the side Of
the commander, pointed to an object
like dusky mist creeping along the
ground and over the rocks; then it broke
into fragments, still crouching like
wolves.
Reserve fire till they reach the
oreek" whispered Selwyn, and the
order ran along the line. Still the wolf
ish pack came on, until within few
PAGES Of the stream, tall figure spranR
to the front waving q tonahawk. In
stantly the war-whoop burst with vol
canic echoes, each crouching figure
stood erect and sprang forward with the
ecstacy Of assured triumph.
''FireI' shouted Selwyn, and long
line of red light fringed the redoubt, and
the sharp, cracking roar Of hundred
rifles drowned the charging yell, and
while the serried ranks one after an
other poured in their deadly showers,
the Mohawk reserve sprang through the
canopy Of smoke and completed the rout
of the terror-stricken foe.
When the smoke cleared awsy, Selwyn
was surprised to see Renwick and Ariel
at his side. I'VE came in behind the
Indians" Renwick said, "and dropped
on the ground when the firing began.
The redskins passed over US in their
hasty retreat, not having time to inves-
tigate or to take our scalps along with
them. and here we are, tired and hum

'.How do you account for their not aid

Selwyn.
.sWell, the Indian is usually cautious
enough; but he is also jealous of the
white man, and when he thinks he sees
chance to steal march on him and snatch
his laurels and few scalps, he is apt to
lose his head. But the Frenchman has

The House re-assembled at 40.
Rep. Brown offered an amendment to
Noble Phillips motion as follows: }. +.
Bowler. repairs to Palace wall, $1,000 !;
work and material electric light works,
Sl612.0S.
Rep. Cummings was in favor OF paying
the full amount claimed in the petition.
With regard to the work on the electric
light and the palace wall, these items
have been pretty well discussed. Ii the
Government had carried out its part,
Mr.. Bowler would have been rich man
to-day.
Noble ]. NJ. Horner said this claim had
been well looked into. There seems to
be some solid foundation for the Palace
light work. I think the electric light
claim should be paid with interest.
Rather than be on the side OF injustice
for the Palace wall | would say that
$1,000 should be paid. With regard to
the labor contract, it has an illegal paper
foundation. Standing in that light there
has been nothing done; 1t has been all

down his throat, if they could lind 1t. In
this matter we should vote what Is right.
