the shoulder, framing face of oval form
and olive coloring, small red lips and
flashing black eyes; his age might be
seventeen, his height below the stand

tation to the inmates, he went straight
to Jabe and gave him slip of paper on
which few lines were written. The
ranger glanced over it, and handing the
sleeping child to his wife. whispered in
her ear that he was sent for by the com

anxiety in her face kissed her and the

failed to note--one of the birds, appar-
emily more exhausted than his fellows
and far behind the line, yet striving to
overtake it and sinking lower as he
came on.
With short, plaintive cries and heavy
tapping Of wings the flock passed over
head. A sharp report, and one came
whirling down.
See, Marden," said Mercer, pointing
TO the bird which first attracted his at
tention and which now came futtering
helplessly to earth, displaying an arrow
sticking in its breast, "the redskin who
sped that shaft Is not far off, for the
bird could not have flown far with such
q wound"
'Our retreat is cut off, exclaimed
Marden, impetuously.
NO" responded the commandment of
the fort, with Puritan solemnity. 'our
trust is in God"
LET us be thankful, however, that
the Mingo's arrow has given warning of
his presence and added fat goose to
the commissariat department, said
Marden, cheerfully.
The drums beat for parade and drill,
and the soldiers Of New England began
to form by companies on the level
ground in front OF the fert.
Injured TO hardship and danger from
infancy, the men, though young, were
veterans. match for the savage in his
native forest and the Frenchman in the
open field. True to their home train
ing they were grave and decorous in
their department, and whether on the
march or in garrison, no profane jest or
ribald song mingled with the toll or
idleness of the Puritan soldiers.
After parade the men amused them
selves with athletic exercises until sun
set, when the sound of a bugle brought
them within the walls and the gates
were closed for the night AS the even
ing deepened and the stars came out,
the surroundings of this isolated strong
hold became more marked in their saw
age sternness. The forest rose like .
black, impenet-aSle wall, forming a
semicircle, the extremes Of which
touched the lake; the dark river gliding

saved him at the battle of Crown Point,
and thus earned his gratitude; but
have taken the liberty of translating
his Indian name, which is as long as
this letter, into that of Shakespeare's
sprite, Ariel. But why do indite this
epistle TO thee, o my Pythias, and
venture life TO place it in you hands?
1t is because thy Damon is begirt
with foes-his castle threatened by the
barbarian and the still more dreaded
Gaul gathers his forces at Montreal and
Frontenac, TO make destruction sure.
Where are those renowned English
heroes, Londoun and Abercrombie, and
why do they not march to our relief?
Are they waiting, like their predeces-
sors, for the despised provincials to beat
the foe and then claim the victory in
grandiloquent dispatches to the home
Government? Mercer will hold the
fort till it crumbles beneath his feet,
but naught can avert the catastrophe
unless help arrives before summer
opens st. Lawrence to the bateaux of
the enemy. Whisper this in the ear of
thy kinsman, Sir William johnson,
whose eloquence may rouse those slug
gish Englishmen to make an effort to
save this important post. l know thy
love for me may prompt thee to attempt
the rescue with ahandful of volunteers,
but that would not avail, and we are
enough to die. AdieI.

Selwyn handed the letter to Sir Will
lam and began pacing the floor with
hasty steps and thoughtful brow. The
Indian boy, having eaten, had rolled
his blanket up for pillow and stretched
himself on the bear-skin. where he slept
soundly. The baronet, having read the
letter, returned it to his kinsman with
the remark:

older than its neighbor, and built for a
trading post and refuge for the settlers
Of the region when threatened by saw
ages.
The union jack of England floated
over the stone structure, and the can
non grimly pointing from its walls, the
measured tramp of sentinels, attested
the vigilance Of the garrison. 1t was
the spring of the year, and cold wind
blew over the lake, piling the cakes OF
ice on topof each other with monotonous
and grating sound; and the forest, which
stood in wide semicircle behind the
forts, was still bare of leaf and blossom.
On the beach in front of the fort two
young men were standing, one Of whom
carried a musket on his shoulder; at
his feet lay half dozen canvas back
ducks.
Apparently in answer to q remark OF
his companion he said: II beg pardon,
Colonel, but surely the monotony of gar
rison duty in wilderness like this
might excuse little temerity, as you
call II, and you yourself could not object

speaker, ''cost nothing but powder and

ing the last remark Wonder sea of ice

must guard against surprise from the

The duck-hunter pointed with his
hand to a long triangular line OF emf
grant fowl just clearing the trees in
their fight and making for the lake.
"Geese," he whispered, tired and
flying low They will come within

MERGERS quick eye perceived some

would say 1t was as good as a lore story.
Dieskan promised to do something for
them when he got his liberty, but he
was sent TO England because the French

girl? and how did the boy come back to
Mr.. Marden2'
81 don't know where the girl IS" said
Jsbe. THE boy looked sick and weak
when he went to Canada, but he must
have found his way back to Marden
about six months later"
"And Marden kept him for his sisters
sake?" asked a listener.
He wasn't in love with her" said
Jabe emphatically you don't suppose
Q gentleman like Mr.. Marden would fall
in love with a poor half-breed girl, if
she had a pretty face. No: he is a
tender-hearted man and he pitied them
bOth-that's all"
Some Of the men were occupied in
playing cards, others in cleaning guns
and accountrements: all the women had
been listening attentiyely to the MARIA
tive, and now that it was ended, rather
unsatisfactory, as some thought, the
silence which followed was due perhaps
to profound speculation on the mystic
rious part Of it. A familiar signal from
without diverted attention to a small
but heavily-barred postern door, which
being cautiously opened gave admit
tahce to the subject of Jabes story-the
half-breed boy-on whom all eyes were
turned with an awakened curiosity. His
1.-the End graceful form, set off to adj
vantage by the green hunting shirt and
leggings of the rangers, was surmount-
ed by head resembling those Italian
studies so familiar to the public of the
