and rangers along tbis side of the
water call me Pathfinder, inasmuch
as I have never been known to miss
one end of the trail, when there Was
a Mingo, or a friend who stood in
need of ate, at the other,"
This was uttered not boastfully,
but with tits honest confidence Of
one who knew well that by whatever
mune others might have heard of
hint, he had no reason to blush at the
:reports. The effect on Mabel was in-
stantaneous. The moment she heard
the last sobriquet, she clasped her
Mantis eagerly and repeated the word
"Pathfinder!"
"So they call toe, young woman,
and many a great lord has got a title,
that he did not half so well merit;
though, if truth be said, I rather
pride myself in finding my way where
there is no path, than in finding It
where 'there is. But the regular
troops are by no means particular,
and half the time they don't know
the difference between a trail and a
path, though one is a matter for the
eye, while the other is little more
than scent."
