Visions crossed his mind, born in the

scene.

all seemed reckoning fields of corn |

CHAPTER XIV.
TOUS SAUvAGES.

Had nature indeed intended Law for
indeed spent years rather than months
among these unusual scenes, he could
hardly have been better fitted for the
part. Hardy of limb, keen of eye, tire
less of foot, with hand which any
weapon fitted, his success as hunter
made his companions willing enough
to assign to him the chase of the bison
or the stag; so that he became not
only patron but provider for the camp
Some weeks after the departure Of
Du Mesne, Law was returning from
the hunt some miles below the sta
ton His tall and powerful figure, har-
dened by continued outdoor exercise,
was scarce bowed by the weight of the
wild buck which he bore across his
shoulders His eye, accustomed to the
voyageur's life, glanced keenly about,
taking in each item of the scene, each
movement of the little bird on the tree,
the rustling of the grass where rab-
bit started from it's form, the whisB
of the gray squirrels tail ON the limb
far overhead.
The touch OF autumn was now In
the air. The leaves of the wild grape
vine were falling. The oaks had donned
garments of somber brown, the hick-
cries had lost their leaves, while here
and there along the river shores the
flaming se,. inels Of the naples had
their scarlet uniform for one

THE BRINK OF CHANGE.

|
The breath of autumn came into the
air. The little flowers which had dot
ted the grassy robe of the rolling hills
had long since faded away under the
ardent sun, and now there appeared
only the denuded stalks of the null
leins and the Haunting banners of the
goldenrod Iie wild grouse shrank
from the edges of the little fields and
Joined their mum bers into general
bands, which night and morn crossed
the country on sustained and strong
winged flight The plumage of the
young wild turkeys, stalking in droves
among the open groves, began to emu
late the iridescent splendors of their
| elders. The marshes above the village
became the home of yet more numer
GUS thousands of clamoring wild fowl,
and high up against the blue there
passed. on the southbound Journey,
| the harrow of the wild geese, vending
their way from north to south across
an unknown empire.
A chill came into the waters of
the river, so that the bass and pike
sought out the deeper pools. The
squirrels bnsily boarded up supplies of
the nuts now ripening. The antlers Of
the deer and the elk which emerged
from tie "oncealing thickets now
showed no longer ragged strips of vel
vet, and their tips were polished in the
preliminary fitting for the fall season
Of love and combat. There came nights
when tho white frost hung heavy upon
all the hening grasses and the broad
teafed plants, frost which scared the
maize leaves and set afiame the foliage
of the narles all along the streams,
and decked in hundred flamboyant
tones lie leaves of the sumach and all
the climbing vines.
AS all things now presaged the COM
ing winter, so there approached also
the time when the little party, so long
companions upon the western trails,
must for the first time know division.
Du Mesne, making ready for the re-
turn trip over the unknown waterways
back to the lakes, as had been deter !
mined to be necessary, spoke of 1t as
though the journey were but an affair |
of every day.
Make no doubt, Monsieur Las"
