vould sav It was - good - love story.
Dieskan promised to do something for
them when he got his liberty. but he
was sent to England because the French
had no prisoner Of equal rank to ex-
change for him; but all the others
were sent to Montreal in exchange for
men. women and children captured BY
the Indians in their raid across the

"Well, Jabe, what became Of the
girl? and how did the boy come back to
Mr.. Marden?"
81 don't know where the girl is," said
Jabe. "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 listener.
"He wasn't in love with her." said
Jabe emphatically ''You don't suppose
a gentleman like Mr.. Marden would fall
in love with 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 attentively to the narra-
tive, and now that it was ended, rather
unsatisfactory, as some thought, the
silence which followed was due perhaps
to profound speculation on the myste-
rious part of it. A familiar signal from
without diverted attention to q small
but heavily-barred postern door, which
being cautiously opened gave admit
tance to the subject of Jabe's story-the
half-breed boy-on whom all eyes were
turned with an awakened curiosity. His

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

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

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
tention and which now came fluttering
helplessly to earth, displaying an arrow
sticking in its breast, ''the redskin who
sped that shaft is not far of. for the
bird could not have flown far with such
q wound"
"Our retreat Is cut Off, exclaimed
Marden, impetuously.
"No," responded the commandant 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 fort.
Injured to hardship and danger from
infancy, the men, though young, were
veterans, q 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
fdleness of the Puritan soldiers.
After parade the men amused them
selves with athletic exercises until sum
ret. when the sound of q bugle brought
fhem within the walls and the gates
wore closed for the night. As the even
ing deepened and the stars came out,
the surroundings Of this isolated strong
hold became moro marked in their sav-

trading post and a 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 a cold wind
blew over the lake, piling the cakes OF
ice on top of each other with monotonous
and grating sound; and the forest, which
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 musket on his shoulder; at
his feet lay half dozen canvas back
ducks.
Apparently in answer to remark OF
his companion he said: 81 beg pardon,
Colonel, but surely the monotony Of gar
rison duty in wilderness like this
might excuse little temerity, as you
call it, and you yourself could not object
to venison steak or a nicely-cooked
duck, just to vary the vulgar menu Of
salt pork or beet. Believe me, have
taken greater risks for less satisfactory
results"
81 doubt it not" replied the Colonel,
smiling gravely; ''but in view of the
crisis which l think is approaching
can not afford to exchange brave man
even for mess Of pottage."
''This prize, however," said the first
speaker, 'cost nothing but powder and
lead. 1 shot them as they few over the
fort this morning on their annual tran
sit to the north"
'We must not be lulled to false Sc
renity," said Colonel Mercer. unheed-
ing the last remark. ''Yonder sea of ice
protects US from open attack. but we
must guard against surprise from the
forest"
The duck-hunter pointed with his
hand to long triangular line of emil
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
range"

Of her big black eyes melted his heart
like lump of sugar, and he gave orders
to bring the boy along. We made a
kind of stretcher with our rifles and
coats and laid him on it, the girl
walking beside him, holding his hand
and saying few words in French now
and then almost in whisper, but it
seemed to help him to bear the pain.
We brought him into camp and the sur
geon-he was a French prisoner
extracted the bullet-the girl
holding his hand all the while and never
flinching. Marden used to visit the
hospital sheds every day to talk to the
wounded, and he was so gay and cheer
full that the men got to look for him,
and their pale faces would light up when
they saw him. The Frenchmen called
him the Chevalier Joyeuse, for he could
speak their language as glibly as any
of them. and he would sing French
songs until the poor fellows almost fan
