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."

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 'cvlhich, like jasper's ,had long ,been !familiar with things aquatic, confld not be at a less in diecovertrug the outlines necessary to clime to the conclusion be did.

In a word, he had run away in order to save his life, "This is well," returned Pathfinder, affecting to believe the other's aped - ogles; "my tbrother did very wisely; but his .woman followed?"

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.

"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 can hare shote, The 'father nvould have asked me for his daughter, and I could 110t,give her to him.
