"Let her luff," cried Jasper to the
man at the helm, "Luff up, till she
shakes. There, steady, and hold all
that"
The helmsman conspiied; and, as
the Scud was now dashing the water
aside merrily, a minute -or two pts the
canoe so far to leeward as to render
escape impracticable. ' Jasper now
sprang to the helm himself; anti. hy

CHAPTER XV
The meeting with the Indian and
his wife excited no surprise in the
majority of those who :witnessed the
occurrence; ,but Mabel. and all who
knew of the manner in which this
chief haat been separated front the
Party of Cap, simultaneously enter-
tained suspicions. which it was lar

not. I am afraid, however, I :hall not
keep you long enough in the Scud to
show you w,ha, elle can do at need."
'tI think a woman unwise who ever
marries a sailor," said (Mabel abruptly,
and almost involuntary.
"This is a strange opinion; why do
yatt hold it?"
`•Because a sailor's 'wife is certain
to' hold a rival in his vessel. My uncle
Cap, too, says that a sailor should
never marIy.'
'He meant salt -water sailors," re-
turned Jasper, laughing."If he thinks
wives not good enough for those who
sail .on the ocean, he will fancy them
just suited to those who sail on the
lakes. I hope, Mabel, you do not tape
your opinions of vs fresh ,water mar-
iners from all that Waster Cap says."
"Sail, ho-" exclaimed the very in-
di'vidual of whom 'they were convers-
ing; "or bc,at, ho! :would he nearer the
troth."
gasper ran forward; and, sure en-
ough, a small Object was ,discernible
about a hundred yards ahead of the
cotter, and nearly on her lee 'bow. At
the first glance, he saw it was a b'ar'k
canoe; far, though the darkness pre
vented 'hues from being distinguished,
the eye that had 'become accustomed
to the night might discern form at
game little distance; a,nd the eye

that the party was discovered in its

a word, he had run away in order to

This appeal was trade to the anile
while he was in a most fortunate
frame of mind to admit its force; for
Mabel and her (blandishments and
constancy were becoming images
familiar to Isis thoughts. The Tuscar-
ora, though he could not trace the
reason, saw that his. excuse was ad-
mitted, and he stood with- quiet dig-
nity awaiting the neat inquiry.
"This is reasonble and natural,"

carora, how did you get that canoe.
and why are you ,paddling towards the
St. Lawrence instead of the gar-
rison?"
"Arrowhead can tell his avis "from
that of another. This canoe is ranine;
I found it on the shore near the fort,"
"That sounds reasonable, too, .for
the canoe does (belong to the malt, and
an Indian ,would make (few words
about taking it, Still, it is extraordin-
ary that we saw" nothing of the fellow
and his wife, for the canoe must have
left the river 'before NN did ourseh'es:'
'Phis idea, which .passed rapidly
through the mind of the ,guide, was
now put to the Indian in the shape of
a question,
-Pathfinder knows tliat a warrior

conformity with Indian character arc;
customs. As was usual, Arrowhsaoi
had received one half of his compen-
sation previously to quitting the No -

the resiehtc was a proof of -that cnn-

the simple truth. Sti11, accustomed to
the ways of Indians, he saw nothing
out of the ordinary track of things in
the course the other had taken,

a little reflection, "anal truth obliges

of the !body as if to assent.

"Why were the Pathfinder and his
friends looking the sante 'way " ask-

"(Well, to cewn the truth. Arrow-

"Arrowhead saw the (big canoe, and
