He had hoped to make an early start;
but the old donkey had somehow lamed

Michael must rest few hours, notwith-

Two days later Marie Bonnet's
nurse, desperately hurrying back to
Peshtigo, met some people who told
her of a miraculous escape. A child
had been placed in one of the pockets
of prodigious pair of saddle-bags and
committed to the care Of donkey
which trusty beast had saved both
the child's life and his own by saga
ciously walking into ponu near the
Sugar Bush road.
So! And where was the child? One
should see William Duquette, the
blacksmith? Very well, then. To Will
liam Duquette went Mother La Rose
straightway. and proved that it was
the little Marie who had been in the
saddle-bag, and who had come out of
it trifie stupefied by smoke, uut very
much alive; in fact, wholly unharmed.
Years after, when the little Marie
was old enough to understand, she
found occasion for pride and rejoicing
in the fact that she had been chris
tened Marie Ducharme Bonnet She
liked to think that the name brought
her nearer to the spirit Of the old sol
