CHAPTER XIV.
TOUS SAUVAGES.

Had nature indeed intended Law for
the wild life of the trail, and had he
indeed spent years rather than months
among these unusual scenes, he could
hardly have been better fitted for the
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
instant readiness demanded in 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 its form, the whisk
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 sentinels OF the naples had
changed their scarlet uniform for one

marshes had shed its grain upon the

they arose from the roofs of happy

days in this new land of thine own,

fevered dreams, far from aimless strug-
giles and unregulated avarice, far from
oppression and from misery, far from

sketches, should prove specially use
tul to Mademoiselle, since they repre-
sent some of the newest and prettiest
modes of the moment, while at the
same time their perfect simplicity and
gracefulness of outline help to make
them eminently suitable for young
girls to wear. The blouse on the left
side of our picture is made in that
pretty crOss-over style which has hap
PLY come back again into fashion this
year, and which is one of the most be-
coming shapes imaginable for slim fig
ures. The material suggested for the
making of this blouse is one of those
dainty floral muslins, or mousselines
de PInde, which, by the way, can al
ways be procured in such a wide va
riety of dainty designs. This blouse
would look charming made in one of
these muslins, with tiny pink rose
buds and green leaves scattered over a
white ground and linked together by
true lovers knots in turquoise blue.
A strap of white silk, embroidered in
colors to match the muslin, and edged
ON both sides with a narrow frill of
cream Valenciennes lace, outlines the
front of the blouse and appears again
upon the sleeves, which should be fin
lshed, by the way, with frill of wider
Valenciennes. Two soft choux of
Louisine silk ribbon give a smart
touch to the front of the blouse at the
waist They should be carried out in
the color which is most prominent in
the embroidery, while the deep waist
belt might be made in the same kind
Of silk, but in a darker shade.

Spring Modes For the Girls

I should be made in soft white silk or
oriental satin. The deep biblike ar
rangement of lace Is very becoming,
and it is an effect which will be seen
very frequently this season on even
ing bodices of various kinds. 1t looks
equally pretty when the bib is made
in some soft material accordion-plait-
ed. The deep f1ounce of lace is con-
tinued at the back in the form or
shoulder cape, and is arranged there
in a point similar to the one which Is
seen in front. The upper part or the
blouse Is filed in with wide insertions
Of transparent lace edged with very
narrow ruches of chiffon. A similar
insertion heads the lace bib. and Is
trimmed with little wheel rosettes OF
gathered white satin ribbon. In this
case, also, there should be very deep
waist-belt either of Louisine silk or
soft satin, boned to keep the folds in
their proper places.
Something perfectly simple but very
effective in the way of cashmere
frock for home wear may be seen In
our other illustration. Any OF the
soft fabrics, which seem to fall OF
themselves into the most gracefui
folds imaginable, would be suitable
for this frock. The color might be

cerned, nothing has been invented yet
that is better for schoolgirls Of all

where young girls are concerned, and

CHAPTER XIII.
THE BRINK OF CHANGE.

LIE 6hlNh Of .Cf1ANGE.
= 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 flaHnting banners of the
goldenrod. The wild grouse shrank
from the edges of the little fields and
joined their numbers 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 busily boarded up supplies of
the nuts now ripening. The antlers of
the deer and the elk which emerged
from the concealing thickets now

rest which the hunter earns. It was
when at length he raised his head and
turned to resume his burden that his
suspicious eye caught glimpse of
something which sent him in a flash
below the level of the grasses, and
thence to the cover of a tree trunk.
AS he gazed from his hiding-place
he saw the tawny waters of the bayou
broken into long series of advancing
ripples. Passing the fringe of wild
rice, swimming down beneath the
heavy cordage of the wild grapevines,
there came on two canoes, roughly
made of elm bark, in fashion which
would have shown an older frontiers
man full proof of their western origin.
In the bow of the foremost boat, as
Law could now clearly see, sat a
slender young man, clad in the uni
form, now soiled and faded, of a cap
tain in the British army. His boat
was propelled by four dusky paddlers.
Indians of the east. Stalwart, powerful
silent, they sent the craft on down
stream, their keen eyes glancing swift
ly from one point to the other of the
ever changing panorama, yet finding
nothing that would seem to warrant
pause. Back of the first boat by short
distance came a kindred craft, its crew
comprising two white men and two In
dian paddlers. OF the white men, one
might have been petty officer, the
other perhaps private soldier
1t was, then, as Du Mesne had said
Every party bound into the west must
pass this very point upon the river Of
the Illini. But why should these be
present here? Were they friends or
foes? So Queried the watcher, tense
and eager as waiting panther, now
crouched with straining eye behind the
sheltering tree.
AS the leading boat swung clear of
the shadows, the man in the Prov
turned his face, scanning closely the
shore of the stream AS he did so,
Law half started to his feet, and a
moment later stepped from his conceal
ment. He gazed again and again,
doubling what he saw. Surely those
clean-cut, handsome features could be-
long to no man but his former friend,
Sir Arthur Pembroke!
Yet how could Sir Arthur be here?
What could be his errand, and how had
he been guided hither? These sudden
questions might, upon the instant, have
confused a brain ready as that of this
observer. who paused not to reflect
that this meeting, seemingly SO i'm
possible, was in fact the most natural
thing in the world; indeed, could scarce
have been avoided by anyone travelling
with Indian guides down the water
way to the Messasebe.
The keen eyes of the red paddlers
caught sight of the crushed grasses
at the little landing on the bayou bank,
even as Law rose from his hiding
place. A swift, concerted sweep of the
paddles sent the boat circling out into
midstream, and before Law knew it
he was covered by half dozen guns.
He hardly noticed this. His own gun
he left leaning against tree. and
his hand was thrown out high in front
of him as he came on, calling out to
those in the stream. He heard the
command of the leader in the boat.
and a moment later both canoes
swung inshore.
