ARIEL DROVE HIS RATCHET THROUGH THE
BOTTOM OF THE CANOE.
bark and hideously painted face
thrust itself almost into his own. That
glance satisfied the savage, and he
thrw back his head to give utterance to
the war-whoop, when Jabe grasped his
throat with his iron fingers and effectu-
ally stif1ed the sound. The redskin
struggled and felt for his knife, but ere
he could use it Marden wrenched it from
his hand and thrust it into his bosom.
Then Ariel drove his Ratchet through
the bottom of the canoe and it sank
with it's luckless owner to the bottom
of the river. BY this time the bark had
drifted below the line, the gap in which,
caused by the absence of the sunken
canoe, was exciting perplexity among
the natives. What had become Of it?
The fog had grown intense, and
the gap could not be discerned.
The sound of voices on the
shore Indicated that the excitement
had extended in that direction, and
Marden decided to push on at all haz-
ards. Dropping his paddle in the water
he urged the canoe forward, and Jabe,
conscious of the act by feeling rather
than by sight, added his powerful
stroke. Then came slight shock and
smothered grunt, a splash in the water,
and canoe, bottom up, floated past and
disappeared. For the next hour the
voyagers piled their paddles silently,
and when the fog lifted they were far
beyond the reach of their enemies. :

Taking the messenger by the arm,
Selwin led him into the hall and, point
ing to chair, opened the letter. The
lad, however, seated himself on bear
skin mat, and, resting his head upon
his hand, remained motionless as before.
"Exhausted," thought Selwyn, glanc-

fame that gave demoniac ex-
preston to the features of the savage
fireman. No hope but in the coming of
the fog-and If it should not come?
Marden knew by the increasing chilli
ness that daylight Was approaching, yet
the stars shone undimmed and the
stream showed no mist upon its bosom.
He leaned against a tree, the high
pressure of excitement reacting on his
tired frame; he lost consciousness for a
time. Then he awoke with the con-
occur. A thin vail interposed itself be-
tween him and the opposite shore;
the fire was growing dim; there was a
stir among the Indians; canoes were
being pushed into the water. The time
of action had arrived. He was about
to arouse his companions when he found
Ariel at his side, and Jabe appeared
moment later. AS the fog deepened
the canoe was launched and the ad-
venturers boldly pushed it in among the
enemy, the white men taking the pre-
caution to wrap their blankets around
them.
A few strokes would take them be-
yond the line which was rapidly form
ing across the river. Marden observed
that there was only one man to each
canoe-a fact which might draw sus-
picion to their own.
Nor was this an idle fear, for at the
moment the thought occurred to him, a
hand was laid on the gunwale of the

WASHINGTON, Sep. 15,-After the con.

''The revised statutes of the United
