 As has been said. the village was built upon plateau overlooking tn" lake. The houses in which the pris- oners had been confined were erected within a few feet of the edge of this plateau. which ended in sheer preci- pice some 30 feet above the surface of the water. As assistance and escape were deemed impossible from this di- rection. no attempt had been made to little party stood together. Tonti was puzzled as to their next step. Before he could say anything, Pompon ex- plained the situation to them.
 "I have not been idle the past two days. I saw the only avenue of es- cape and have prepared for it. have succeeded in twisting together num- ber of strands of grapevine long enough 10 reach 10 the bottom. and while the noise of the feast was in the face of the cliff with one end of the rope in my teeth. have fastened
 it securely about the trunk of this tree. After We have descended Mad ane Bizard will cast it loose, and it will delay them in finding out the di- rection We have taken. I have cap- tured a canoe. whicn We will find on the shore below. in which we can gain the other end of the lake six miles away before our escape is discovered. The preparations were now made to descend. Renee kissed Madame Bizard
 on each cheek in token of her grati- tude. while Tonti expressed his thanks fin whispers. They both urged her to flee with them and thus elude the clutches Of the comte forever. Tonti offering ;o place her under the protec-
 ton of the next party going from Fort Niagara to Quebec. thus enabling her to reach place of safety. and afford ing her an opportunity to seek her hus- bands forgiveness and make amends for her past misconduct. She shook ! her head sadly.
 Alas, mo- she said. ''it is too late The comte would reach me with his vengeance sooner or later, while if

SHOWING HOW MIRON HELD A GOOD HAND. BUT PoMPON | PLAYED THE AGE OF TRUMPS.
 The captives were led back to their respective prisons after this sickenins scene of barbarity. and soon silence fell upon the camp as though the in- habitants were fatigued by the excite ment of the day and had sought re- pose. Renee had nerved herself to wit ness the horrible spectacle and had borne herself bravely throughout un- til the last. but when she found herself once more alone and conscious, a re- action set in and she became but a weak and trembling woman after all. Tonti. used as he was to the scenes of carnage of civilized warfare, could not repress d shrddcr as he recalled 4he recent ordeal. His chief anxiety was now for Renee: for himself he Sad faced danger and death too many
 Ines to experience any fear at their proximity. he would sell his own life
 as dearly as possible. and promise l himself that more than one recruit: for the happy hunting-srounds would be startei on the long journey thither before they would have him lashed 10 the stake. He realized that neither of them could hope anything from the mercy of the cOmte. Their only chance would be through the OppOrtune ar rival in the camp of some party sent out from Fort Niagara in search of them This was, however. hardly pos sib!e. as any such expedition would naturally follow along the shore of the lake even as far as Fort Fronte- nae. SefOue they would turn back or think of visiting any of the Indian tribes To be sure. POmpOn had sig nailed to him before they arrived at the camp that he would effect a res cue. but he would not have had the time to procure assistance and there was but little reliance 10 be placed on his ability 10 achieve anything alone The oomte would not aIln- his people to be deprived by any tricks that he would play. as had happened at the time of their Huron caativity, and aside from some such measure.
