Jasper, Just at diet moment had
been rudely 541004 by two of the sol.
Sanglier and Pathfinder remarked
that he carried a flesh and bleeding
scalp at his girdle. No one asked any
questions; and the -:former, although
perfectly satisfied that Arrowhead
had fallen, manifested neither curio-
sity nor feeling. He continued calm-
ly eating his soup, as if the meal had
been tranquil as usual. There was
something of pride and of an assum-
ed indifference to fate, imitated from
the Indians, in all this; but there was
more that really resulted from prac-
tice, habitual self -command, and con-
stitutional hardihood. With Pathfind-
er the case was It little different in
feeling, though much the same in
appearance, He disliked Muir, whose
smooth-tongued courtesy was little
in accordance with his own frank
and ingenuous ways; but he had
been shocked by his unexpected and
violent death, though accustomed to
similar scenes,- and he had been stir -
prised •at. the exposure of his treach-
ery. With a view to ascertain the ex-
tent of the latter, as soon as the body
was removed, he began to question
the Captain on the subject. The lat-
ter, having no particular motive for
secrecy now that his agent was dead,
in the course of the breakfast re-
vealed the following circumstances.
Soon after the 55th appeared on
the frontiers, Muir had volunteered
his services to the enemy. In making
his offers, he boasted of his intimacy
with Lundie, and of the means it. af-
forded of furnishing more accurate
and important information than us-
ual. His terns had been accepted,
and Monsieur Sanglier had several
interviews with him in this vicinity
of the fort at Oswego and had actu-
ally passed out entire night secreted
in the -garrison, Arrowhead, however,
was the usual channel of information

Ilmu•an had been originally written

Jasper was to he sacrificed in alder

son. and that tate position of the is-
land had been betrayed to the enemy
by the. latter. An extraordinary coup

his purse, had induced hint to accom-
pany the party under Sergeant Dun-
ham, in order to give the signals
that wore to bring on the attack.
His admiration of Mabel was in a
great degree feigned, in order that
he might have an excuse for accom-
panying the patty without sharing in.
the responsibility of it, defeat, or
incurring the risk of having no other
strong and seemingly sufficient mo-
tive. 4Tueh of this was known to
Captain Sanglier, particularly tin•
part in connection with Mabel, and
he did not fail to let his auditors in-
to the wholc secret frequently laugh-
ing in a sarcastic manner, as he re-
vealed the different expedients of
the luckless Quartermaster.
"Touchez-1a," said the cold -blood:

hand to Pathfinder, when- he ended
his explanations; "you be homtete,
and dot is hc•aucoup. We tak' de spy
