A Bridegroom Selected

'The devil she is! | am not sorry to
hear it, either, for to be frank with you,
Sergeant, / am no great adnirer of un-
equal matches. May l ask Who the for
tunate man is?'
THE Pathfinder. your honor"
1.-The Pathfinder but will your daugh-
ter be content to marry one who is, after
all, mere hanger-on of the army? There
is no promotion for the guide"
Durham broke out into an eulogy of
tho Pathfinder and the major said:
well, well, that is your matter. And
now Sergeant Durham
The major then proceeded to strictly
military business and gave the sergeant
orders for an expedition which he was
about to send down the lake to the Thou
sand Islands in the st. Lawrence.
Everything is ready for the expedi-
tion,' said the sergeant; "the draft is
made and ! understand that the party
below is already looking out for it's re-
lief"
You will sail the day after tomor-
row." said the major; you will be in
command of the expedition. You will
sail on the Scud. Have 1 not seen d
seafaring person about the fort lately?"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-06-08
A Test of Skill

But what Mabel had said to her father
could scarcely bear the construction which
the anxious sergeant had put upon it.
She had expressed admiration and af-
lection for Pathfinder-but not love.
However Durham considered that in
Mabers present state of mind regarding
the guide, coupled as he had intimated
with fortnight's intercourse at lonely
post, she would willingly obey orders
and give her hand to Pathfinder.
He did not see how it could be other
wise.
The next day there was a shooting
match at the fort, gotten up by the
younger officers, and open to all comers.
The prize was that peculiar sort of head
cover known as a calash, which the Win
ner was, to present to the lady of his
choice who would thus oe queen of the
tournament
Wonderful shots were those men, trained
in long warfare upon the frontier and
marvellous were some of their exploits
with the rifle.
Muir, who was an expert shot, was
hopeful of winning the prize. and of
being able to lay it before the sergeant $
daughter in the face of the whole fort.

The Spy Revealed

An hour after the island had been
cleared Of tbe savages the French o.
s'cer appeared with flag of truce. with
ann was Muir, whom lie proposed TO
release ind also the Indian, Arrow
head.
MUIR at once asserted his right to COM
fnand and ordered Jasper under arrest

and Arrowhead have informed me that
shis unfortunate boy is a traitor.''
100 much lie." said Arrowhead, strik-
ing Muier upon the breast.
In fury Muir reached for a gun. but
Arrowhead seeing his intention. drove bis
knife into his heart and the quarterma ster
fell dead.
Arrowhead fed swiftly; but more swift
ly after him went the Serpent. who soon
returned with scalp.
The French officer calmly took a pincb
OF snuff and said that Muir had lon-
peen IN the pay of the French
Muir had made a condition that when
the island was captured Mabel shoull
Dc lett unharmed and turned over to him
self as part of the spoils of war. Ar
rowhead had made the same demands.
Mabel sickened as the full enormity c9
the perils she had escaped dawn.d unon
her.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-06-08
Prepared for a Siege

Muir, though he had all the voyage
striven in every way to augment the sus-
picicns against Jasper, made no objection
TO the young man going back in command
of the Scud-in fact, seemed anxious to get
rid of him at any price.
The post of which Sergeant Dunham
row took command consisted of some huts
for the soldiers and officers, which were
grouped about at a small distance from
the blockhouse.
This blockhouse was heavily built of
logs and had its upper story overhangin;
the lower one, so Tat through 'oopholes
in the floor of the upper story a rifle fire
would command the ground Immediately
around the base of the structure.
Also, there were loopholes in the sides
of the upper room, through which rifles
could be fired at any one approaching Z
the blockhouse.
In that upper story were barrels of
water, which, should any attempt oe
made to fire the building, could be
poured out upon the flames below.
The lower part of the building was
filled with stores-the upper part was
fitted up into quarters.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-06-08
Left to His Discretion

ut is my brother-in-law, Master Cap, ,
replied the sergeant who brought my
daughter here from Albany"
The brow of the major clouded and
then he said: why not put this Cap
on board the Scud as captain for this
cruise and leave Jasper Western be-
hind?"
Il did intend to ask permission to take
Cap along" said Durham, but he must
go as a volunteer. Jasper is too brave
and valuable a man to be turned out
of his command without a reason. and
[ am afrid my brother-in-law despises
fresh water too much to do good duty
on it."
well, I leave that to your discretion.
You intend that Pathfinder shall, also,
be of your party?"
IF your honor approves of it. There
will be service for both the guides, tho
Indian they call the Serpent and for
the Pathfinder
Il think you are right. Before you
sail | will give you fuller instructions"
After the sergeant had left the quar-
ters of the commanding officer a middle
aged man who wore the uniform of an
officer but whose uniform showed none
of the usual smartness appeared and
was saluted as Mr.. Muir"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-06-08

Mabel had not been a week at the fort
before she had charmed everybody. Even
thu captains lady patronized her. and
she was admitted to as much intimacy
with the wives of the commissioned Off
GERS as was suitable and fitting for a
daughter of ''non-com."
In fact, her breeding and education
was such that sometimes these ladies'
really forgot that Mabel was not an of
hcer's daughter" and treated her as such
The officers-the commissioned officers
openly toasted her at mess; and Lieu
tenant Muir, the quartermaster, went so
far as to actually determine to marry
her and went to the major, asking him
to send for the sergeant major and an
nounce this great condescension.
Muir was an expert In matrimony-
he had been married five tmes--one of
the marriages was doubtful-and consid-
cred that Mabel would make a perfect
sixth Mrs. Muir.
He was a little older than the major
had been born on the iairds estates and
the two had played together as boys.
But 1t was old associations only that
kept the lonely major and the lieutenant
or terms of intimacy for between their
characters there was little or nothing IN
common.
So Major Duncan sent for Sergeant
Dunham to come to his quarters and the
sergeant came.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-06-08
"That Thrilling Affair."

1t was the quartermaster come to sea
how his vicarous wooing had pros
pered. The major began by rallying Muir
upon his previous matrimonial expert
ences.
Every man has his besetting SIM" re-
piled Muir gravely, "and | fear matri-
mony is mine. And now that we have
discussed what may be called the prin~
ciples of the matter. 1 will just ask if
you did me the favor to speak to the
sergeant upon that trifiing affair?'
II did, Davy, and / am sorry to say
for your hopes that I see no great chance
of your succeeding"
Not succeed! An officer and a quar-
termaster into the bargain and not sue
ceed with sergeant's daughter?'
We'll, it seems the girl is betrothed.
hand-plighted, word passed. love pledged
No, hang me, if / believe that, either
But she is betrothed, though the match
seems to be OF the fathers making ra ather
than hers. l think 1t probable that her
heart is free, But the sergeant wants
her to marry Pathfinder"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-06-08
Waning Disregarded

DO you wish to see my father?"
asked Mabel.
June laughed and said Gone away.
Perhaps never come back"
Then she told Mabel that Arrowhead
knew exactly how many men We're on
the island, how many had gone with
Sergeant Dunham and what was the OBJ
ject of his expedition.
Plainly there was a spy in camp.
Mabels cheeks paled as she thought:
Gould Jasper possibly have given this
information to the enemy?"
But no, he had sailed back to Oswego
before the boat expedition started Still
he might have known of the plans and
betrayed them.
But no-she put the thought from her.
Jasper could not be the spy that he was
suspected of being-had, indeed, been
charged with being.
June reiterated her warning to Mabel
to seek refuge in the blJckbouse and
padded away in her canoe.
Much disturbed Mabel sought out
Corporal McNab and, telling him of her
interview with June, urged him at once
to occupy the blocl1house. But the cor
poral laughed at her fears.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-06-08
Cupid's Ambassador

"Walk in, sergeant, walk in, my good
friend" said the major.
After some desultory conversation, con-
corning mostly the complaints of the SOL
diers at having too much venison, sal
mon and game in their ratons and their
yearnings for oatmeal and salt beef,
the major said:
II may as well come to the point at
once. sergeant. You have a charming
daughter, and here is Davy Muir the
quartermaster, who is disposed to make
your daughter his wife. And he has just
got me to open up the matter to you.

dignity"
"She is much honored" replied Dun
can coldly. Il hope to see her the wife
of an honest man before many weeks,

Yes, Davy is an honest man-and that
is more than can be said Of all of the
caartermaster's department. Well, then.

Meantime the sergeant had propounded
to Pathfinder his scheme of making Ma
bel his wife,

will never do. We did agree that If Ma
bel should take a fancy to a rude hunter

that your daughter may not look as fa-
vorably upon me as her father does.
Tut, tut, Pathfinder replied the SER
geant. you are. it is true, old enough
to be Mabels father, but the girl ad-
mires you already and she half loves you,
and a fortnght's intercourse down there
among the islands will close the ranks

Under Suspicion

The following day the expedition sailed
for the lonely post in the Thousand
Islands.
Before Sergt Dunham departed the ma
jor called him to his quarters and gave
him authority to relieve Jasper West
ern from command of the Scud should
he see anything suspicious in his con-
duct.
He had received an anonymous letter
saying that Jasper was a spy in the pay
of the French. 1t had been apparent
ior some time that somebody had been
giving secret information to the enemy
Jasper had, before the war, spent a
considerable time upon the further shores
Of Lake Ontario among the French. lie

by them Eau-douce. He spoke their Ian
Guage fluently.
lie was a young man and ambitious
lie would, at least, bear watching.
Dnnham WAS not by any means con-
vinced of Jasper's treachery-in fact, he
believed in the lad. But he was going
on an expedition which required for its
success great secrecy and he would take
no chances.

Stripped of Defenders

Sergeant Durham took possession of
the hut built for the commanding. Off
Ger. With him messed the two other
nom commissioned officers of the eXpe-
dition, Pathfinder and Cap, while Lieu
tenant Muir also deigned TO share their
table
Mabel and the soldiers wife set tho
place in order and did the cooking.
The soldiers bestowed themselves in the
other huts and the post soon sottled
down to regular routine os military
life.
A fortnight passed and then Durham
took his daughter aside and told her
that on the following day he was, IN
obedience to secret instruction, to sail
With nearly all his command in a 40 :.

Mine will never laugh again. dear

Mabel knew whom he meant we'll

marry at all? I want to take care Of
you"

sergeant, but ] cannot live for ever,

This had now all been successfully ac-

this story appears under the name which
was then generally applied to him, both
by the Indians and the whites of the

who commanded cutter upon Lake on
