You love your master. boy?" Ariel
pressed both hands to his heart.
And If force of Americans can be
raised will you guide us to Oswego?'
Ariel wrote quickly: He is not
there"
mo, nor here either. But he may
return before we get there. No other
aid than ours can reach him, and we
must move at ence; what say you?"
With joyful flash in his eyes the boy
waved gesture oi assent.
1T is we'll; but you are exhausted
after that long journey; you need rest"
Ariel rose with an air OF impatience
and pointed to the dial of an old-fash-
toned clock.
"You are right" said Selwyn; 1--WE
have no time to loso. Follow me-"
Mars Chawls, said Pete, bobbing his
head into the room, "dars Mars Walter
Renwick wants to see you"
Mars Walter did not stand on cere-
mony, he was in the room already-a
tall, lusty. broad-shouldered young fell
low, with honest blue eyes and smiling
face. The white hand of the stuaious
Selwyn suffered a total eclipse in the
grasp Of his friend, and was shaken with
the energy of genuine affection.
You are the very man l wished but
did not expect to see," said Selwyn, cor
daily.
What new idea hast thou got in that
students bead Of thine, Charley?" asked
the other, laughing. ''Or dost thou
need my help to construe problem in
euclid or to find a missing Greek guam
tity? am the man, provided can SEQ
my way to it along the barrel Of q rifle
"You arc nearer the mark than you
aimed, Walter; for the idea in my STU
dents head, as you call it, Is rifles and
men-aye, a thousand II they can be
had"
by Jove! this likes me WE'LL" cried
Renwick, rubbing his hands and gazing
| eagerly at his friend; "but where is the
| enemy? OF course, need not ask who
he is. There are only two kinds,
French and Indian, and they are
usually found together. Would that
we could exchange them for English
men; we could then sleep sound O
nights, knowing that they were asleep
too. But whom have we here? BY his
complexion he might be q mixture OF
both our enemies; or is he q student OF
divinity preparing his first sermon I'M
der thy dictation?"
| May, you are far from the mark now,
my friend. The boy is mute, and the
writing on the table contains his an
swers to my questions. But time
presses, and must explain my plans,
or rather ask your aid to Sorm them"
He then proceeded to give a rapid
sketch of the situation, to which Rem.
wick listened with eager attention, oc'
casionally interrupting to ask ques
ton or to curse the apathy of the En-
glish commanders.
"The alternative Is ours" added Sci
wyn, in conclusion, "to help Mercer tC
defeat the enemy ut Oswego, or leave
him to his fate, with the certainty o.
hearing the Indian war-whoop in the
Mohawk Valley"
"You are right; we must help our
selves" said Renwick, 81 returned from
Albany last night, and there was nc
sign Of military preparation there; no
SO much as q rumor Of approaching aid
from the sea-board. The season is ad
vancing, and 1t will require two week!
at least to raise volunteers and to pre-
pare for the campaign; then the lonl
march through the forest must be SLOW
and cautious; but there Is yet time
Come, let us be up and doing"
"And when all is ready, this DO,
will guide us to the scene Of action,
added Selwyn.

prepared to depart; but whar will

"Taothless! what do you meanH"
ST he isn't toofless why don't h
talk?" responded the philosophic daT
ky.
"Ariel, I will find something to oc
cupy your time whom return; for tn
present, rest and amuse Yourself as 20
can"
"Dar dey goes" muttered Pete, looh
