PRIDE AND PRIDE.
BY JANE allaTIN.
Do you know the Chateaugay Woods—
thoee vast tracts of sombre hemlock stretch-
ing for leagues over the ! Adirondack hills
and vales, and yet within so few hews'
travel from New York,that centre of all
that is -furthest trom eileot or primeval or
innocent? •,
It was a bright September morning, and
woods and sky and air, and the treacherous
brook tumbling down the hillside toward the
saw -mill at the fookwere all at their freshest
and most charming. ; so-Iwas the figure of,
the young girl who, Mounted on the fiery
little Cuban horse, controlled him easily
with one hand as she paused just in the
edge of the woods on the brow of the hill,
and contemplated the scene below with
eager, sensuous delight.
A handsome creature she was,
this young
Sybarite, and harmonious with the scene in
her intense vitaliW freshness, and eager ap-
preciation; tall andhlimornet but with prom.
ie of an imperial presence In later life, with
a satin -smooth dusky skin a rare rich crine-
son tinting the cheeks arid burning on th3
lips, straight dark brows, heavy enough W
make their frown significant, and great eyea.
just as bright and ease as brown as the
brook when it flashee out from among the
hemlock roots into the sunshine va head
modelled after the Greek, with masses of
wavy hair drawn back from the low fore-
head, leaving the tinyf ends exposed, and
knotted at the nape of the neck m a great
soft coil, on which the !riding -hat, with its
scarlet tanager's breast and wing, sat like a
I
crown. ,
Half a mile down the steep white road,
Mary Murgatroyd checked her horse art the
edge of the platform of a saw mill. The
whole interior was visible through the great
double doors, making all one end Of the
building; several men were at work, and
overlooking them a powerful young fellow,
his loose red blouse andi blue trousers, up-
held by a broad leaflet belt, showing to
perfection such a figure as hemlock forests,
mountains, and plenty of phsical exercise
alone can develop. He looked round at
sound of the pony's feet, and came slowly
forward to greet his emPloyer's daughter;
for ill those hills and vales and foreats, the
brook and the mill, belonged -ltephen
Murgatroyd, who partly froui a l�''e of na-
ture, oddly surviving thirty yea in Wall
street, partly as knowing that the master's
eye is wholesome for any business, had
built a sort of sylvan lodge here in the Cha
teaugay, whither he wae fond of resorting
for a few days at a time, and whither Mary
in these later years had grown fond of ac-
companying him. And Leon Leduc, who
was Canadian by name Saxon by nature
anti looks, in the ma ter's absence had
charge of everything, and managed better
than the master could fee himself. When
nobody else occupied the sylvan lodge, Le-
d= Made it his home, and if Mr. Margate
royd came up alone, the two kept house to-
gether with mutual satisfaction, the young-
er generally giving the elder some new bie
of intelligence out of the scientific or poli-
tie,a1 works of the day,or commenting on
the latest travels or ne eat whims of phil-
osophy, with a careleas ase, showing wide
reading and a prodigious memory. But
when Mary came, generally bringing one or
two companions of her own world with her,
Leon Leduc retiredlo one of the log cabins
built for the mill hands, wood choppers,
log -drivers, and other employes of the vast
estate, where he delig ted and, with no
pretence or self-conscio nese, instructed as
large an audience as cou d get near him.
"Good -morning, Mr., Leduc. I am go-
ing to rest in the shade a little while. I
have ridden a long way," said Mary, giving
the rein to Leon, who held it firmly, so that
the rider's.feet were within an inch of the
platform. and did not offer any further help
in dismounting, or even look to see how
gracefully it was accomplished. e
"You may let one of the men loosen
Moro's girths, if you please, and take out
the bit. It freshens him up wonderfully."
Without reply the 44 veneer peeformed
the suggested duty hi self, Mies Murgat:
royd crossing the platform and looking
down at the brook flashing at the steep
l
bank. Moro comfortab y established,Leduc
hesitated, glanced ti
into he mill, glanced at
the unconscious maid
en, her shapely back'
turned square upon him, and reluctantly
approached her.
"Will you go into 04 office and it down,
Miss Murgatroyd ?"
"Nobody has such original ideasas you,
Mr. Leduc. To fancy my desiringon this
heavenly morning to shet myself up in that
horrible, stuffy little office to amigo myself
contemplating the inky desk and red -backed
ledger and cash book! No; I intend get-
ting down this bank aid gathering those
harebells at the bottonl, or are they gen-
tians?"
"Gentians, I believe. I shall be happy
to gather them -for you myself, if 'you will
allow me. The bank is very steep rind ;slip-
pery, and the pool just bare very deep."
The offer was courteous, the mariner just
what befitted a young man in woolen shirt
and trouser, hard hands and suhbureed
neck, speaking to kis employer's daughter.
Why then did the girl's smile grow so
cruelly proud as she replied:
"By no means, Mr. Leduc. I cOuld not
think of taking you from your duties. Pray
don't let me interrupt you any longer."
A swarthy flush rose under the sunburn of
the overseer's face, and with a silent bow
he tamed away, walked as far as the first
sharp -toothed saw gnawing its way into the
heart of the great hemlock boll, stood, there
a moment, then turned, and strode 1 back.
Mary was half -way down the bank, clinging
to a shrub with one band, and teith the
other reaching toward tie gentians. "My time belongs to Mr. Murgatroyd, as
you auggest, Miss Murgatroyd," eaid a calm
voice above her, "but I think it will be as
faithfully spent in keeping you out of dan-
ger as in watching the saws. PleaSe give
me your hand and let me help you up the
bank, and then I Will get the flower."
"13y that sin fell the angels," and as
they were falling one of them m y have
looked very like the face Mary Murgatroyd
turned up toward the men kneeling on the
edge of the bank and ,reaching down his
hand to her, so proud, cruel, and repellent.
"Really, _Mr. Leduc,1 I think y a had
better keep to the wor papa, set you at.
He never likes people 4lisregarding his or-
ders."
"And you cannot imegine a i4 higher
than Mr.-Murgatroyd's rders or Mi s Mire-
gatroyd's pleasure !" era( the young man,

THE HURON EXPOSITOR
A IkoMtut's attractiveness in the eyes of
man depends largely on her physical ap
pearance. Nature, in order to preserve the
race, guides mankind by the instinctive
preference for a rnate who is -physically
sound and wholesome.
If intellect alone were chiefly sought, the
offspring might 'be a generation of Solo.
mons for wisdom, but they would perish
in infancy for want of physical stamina.
A weak or unhealthy woman is unfitted to
fulfil her part in perpetuatink the race; she
is unequal to the demands of motherhood
and wifehood, she is robbed of her natural
womanly attractiveness.
Many a woman is cheated of life's choicest
gifts by a dyspeptic. bile -poisoned condi.
tion of the system, which shows itself in
pimply skin: sallow complexion, tainted
breath, or thin, ungraceful form.
The most perfect remedy for all the morti.
fying symptoms of mal -nutrition and
pure blood is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. Through its remarkable effect
upon the liver and digestive .organs it
sweeps all impurities out of the ,circida-
tion and creates a fresh supply of new,
rich, life-giving blood..
It Fives clearness and bloom to the come
plexion; sweetens the breath; rounds out
the face and form, and invigorates the en-
tire constitution with vital energy.
It restores the invincible beauty of whole-
someness and womanly rapacity.

his face turning lividly pale, then flushing
as if it had received a blow. A bitter little
little laugh replied,and springing to his feet,
he moved away, but had not gone a dozen
panes before a scream, a rustle, a splash,
told her the story, and kicking off his shoes
and flinging down his hat, Leduc sprang to
the top of the bank, marked the spot where
the white gleam of a sinking face shone up
through the swirling waters of the pocel,and
leaped in. Already the swift current was
grappling with her; already the heavy -
riding clothes were dragging her down like
anchors, when his arms wound around her
waist, and her swooning ears caught the
strange words, "Oh, my darling, my life
you shall not die 1" _
- After that nothing until the maiden re-
covered consciousness, lying upon the couch
in the despised office,with two tawny, hard -
handed, kindly women about her.
" What is it ?" stammered she, feebly;
and one replied:
"Why, miss, you fell in the pool, and
Leduc he see you, and got you out, and sent
on one of the hands hot -foot to the shanty
for us, and w've been better'n hale an hour
bring you to. I tell you, miss, 'twas a nar-
row nape."
"Leduc saved inc.?"
"Yes, indeed. Lucky he was round, for
the current sucks awful strong in that pool,
andif you hadn't been got out when you
was, you'd 'a been over the darn, and the
dear knows where by this time."
" Where is ha ?"
"He set off for your pa and a carriage as
soon as you began to come to. Took your
pony, he did, and I guess he'll be back be-
fore long now. Hark ! Seems as if I heard
wheels, and that's your pa's voice sure-ly."
Yes, it was Mr. Murgatroyd, whom Le-
duc had met a short distance from his
house. But having seen the father enter
the room where his daughter lay, Leduc
turned away, and briefly saying to one of
the men that he must goehome and change
his clothes, left the mill, not to return until
its visitors had departed.
The principal architectural pretence of
the eyl van lodge was a great square ve•
randa, the ends closed in by vine -covered
trellises, and furnished with a sofa -table,
chairs, ',:and couches of rattan. Here on
the [evening of her aceiderit Mary
lay, beautiful in her pallor and
her languor, the former enhanced by
the vivid scarlet of the Indian shawl drap-
ed about her. Her father had driven to the
station some eight miles distant, to meet a
party Of friends proposing to spend some
days at the lodge, and she was quite alone
when up the path strode Leon Leduc's stal-
wart figure, an odd look of indecision,almost
of defiance upon his face. In his hand he
carried a little basket covered with paper,
and seeieg Miss Murgatroyd upoo the ver-
anda, came straight towards her. A
bright wave of coior, perhaps a reflection
from the Indian shawl, swept over the girl's
dainty pallor, and half rising, she said,
"Oh, Leon, I am so glad to see you and
thank you 1"
" It was my duty; my hired service."
"Leon.! how can you be so unkiod as to
recall my insults! I am so soery for them.'
His face softened at once, and smiling he
saief : " Do not remember anything but
that I am glad to have served you, and that
tillbank is .unsafe. At any rate, there will
bee4o temptation for you there now, for I
du up the gentians.'
9 Mr Leduc 1 to destroy the poor inno-
cerA flowers, as if it was their fault 1"
"No, indeed, I could not have done such
a thing. I went down to gather them for
you; and then it seemed too bad to break
them Off, and I thought you might like to
have them growing near you, so I took up
the sod very carefully, and here they are.
"How lovely 1 how good of you." And
Mary, craning her neck forward, peeped in-
to the basket, all crowded full of sweet blue
eyes, with their long fringes of eyelashes,
but did not offer to take it into her hands,
so that Leon, forced to remain close beside
her, sank upon a camp -stool, the basket on
his knees, and stole one long; ardeet look at
the lovely head and face so temptingly bent
towards him.
"The darlings 1" murmured the girl, put-
ting out one long shapely hand and softly
touching the flowers. I do so hope they
will live 1 Where shall I have them put ?
"Close by the channel that goes down
from the well; they are used to plenty of
water, you know," said Leon, who evident-
ly had arranged it all. "1 will take a
spade and set them there now if you like,
and you had better have them shaded for a
day or two. Then in the winter I will
throw something over them, so that they
may not be destroyed, and next year they
will weloothe you to the woods."
"How thoughtful you are, Leon !" mur-
mured Mary, softly. "Yes, put them out,
but—wait a little first. Papa has gone to
Dowus to_meet Mr. and Mrs. Pcnoroy ; you
will remember her as Miss Melton two
years ago, and Mr. Melton her brother.
They are corning to stay two or three Jays
or a week. Are you sorry ?"
"Sorryelliss Murgatroyd? Why ?"
"Because they will take all my time, and
I shall not come to the mill or 'ride to tbe
logging camp alone."
Leon ,was silent. A strange sweet spell
was creeping over his senses. He clinched
his hand' until the nailes bit .into the palm,
and the pain steadied him.
"We workmen will miss your visits Mies
Murgatroyd," said he, coldly. "But of
course, when your friends are with you, we
cannot expect to be noticed."
"Why do you talk like that, Leon!" ex-
_
olaimed the girl, half aorrowfully,halfindig-
nanny, all wooingly. "You know very well
no man in all the world, gentle or simple,
has half the right to my attention that he
has who saved my life. Leon, I have been
a very supercilious, haughty, disagreeable .
girl, and especially towards you; but I am •
very sorry now—indeed I am. Leon, I am
more; I never will be proud
ntootyporuoaugdar
The words came in a whisper, soft as a
kiss, and the slender band stole out again,
the warm soft fingers trembling a little as if
longing to be grasped by other fingers; but
Leon Leduc's strong brown hands only
grasped the handle of the little basket until'
it crushed beneath his fingers, and his bead
sank upon his breast, his eyes never turning
,towards those motet beseeching eyes so shy-
ly waiting for them.
A whippoorwill in the neighboring wood
--
uttered his melancholy ory once, twice,
thrice, and as he ceased Leon Leduc; slowly
spoke: "1 am glad for you if you are no
longer proud, for pride is a terrible tyrant
to the nature it rules. I am not so strong
as you; I cannot give up my pride."
Then, with no mockery of leave-taking,he
went away, and presently hearing the clink
of a spade against stone, Mary knew that
he was setting out the gentians. '
"1 will trample them under my feet in
the morning," said she, in a voice strongly
savoring of the pride she had abjured.
Next came the roll. of wheels, and then
gay, briniest; overwhelming Louisa Pom-
roy, on her way from Newport to Saratoga,
and her rich fool of a husband, and Harry
Melton, handsome, highbred, wealthy, and
sworn admirer of Miss Murgatroyd.
They were to stay but a few days, and
these days must be filled full of all sylvan
pastimes and delights; so horses had been
provided for all, and the very first morning
a gay cavalcade rode into the woods to visit
the logging camp deep in the heart of the
forest.
"1 haven't warned them- that we were
coming, and you will see the genuine camp
life, Mrie Pomroy," said Mr. Murgletroyd
to the pretty bride, who tinkled out her
baby laugh, :and clasped her hands, ex-
claiming :
"Oh, how perfectly lovely ! And we
will eat some of their—what was that word,
now ?—oh, their slapjacks, and hominy,, and
pork, and things—won't we, Mary ?"
• "You may if you like, Lulu; it's not
sucha novelty to me,". replied her friend, a
little briefly ; for she was listening to a very
tender speech from Harry Melton, and won-
dering where Leon Leduc's work had taken
him this morning.
As fate would have it, it bad taken him
to the logging camp, and at the last turn of
the road they came upon him, standing be-
side a heap of bark, and directing its re-
cording after the fatal blow it had received
from a falling tree.
• "Fine-looking fellow that 1" remarked
Mr. Melton, putting his glass to his eye,and
staring at Leduc just as he would. have
stared at a statue in a picture -gallery.
"Yes ; the overseer," replied Mary,quite
audibly, "A very useful person; papa
quite trusts him with his affairs 'here in the
‘woods."
‘Sohard to find anybody worth trusting
nowadays; dishonest em-ployes quite the
rule, you know—an awful bore." And hav-
ing stared sufficiently at the phenomenon
thus presented to him, Mr. Melton turned
his glass upon the giant hemlocks, too
grand to be supercilious, that looked- good-
naturedly down at the pigmy staring up at
them, and rustled a welcome. Mrs Pomroy,.
whb would have flirted with the old serpent
just as surely as Eve did, had there been no
other subject at hand, was meantime mak-
trig eyes at Mr. Murgatroyd, and going into
pretty raptures and wonderments over
everything she saw. Such big trees 1 such
dark foliage ! such sharp axes ! such smooth
stumps! such fine-looking men! such pic-
turesque red shirts ! such a lovely blue sky
away, way up- so high ! And oh ! what
wasthat ? '
" A crow's nest, ma'am," replied one of
the woodmen, for her cavalier had stepped
aside to speak to a knot of choppers consult-
ing over the best direction to fell a new
tree.
' A crow's nest 1 Dear Inc 1 I wish I
could have it ! 1 will give anybody a dol-
lar to bring it to me." And the childish
beauty clapped her hands and glanced glee-
fully round at the rough admiring faces of
the men.
"You are extravagant, Lu," remarked
Mary, her slow haughty tones contrasting
with the chattering treble of the other.
" Any of the men would go if papa bade
them. Leduc, can't you get that. nest for
the lady?"
"By having, the tree cut down, Mies
Murgatroyd," replied the overseer, fixing
his eyes upon her for a moment, then slow-
ly turning them away. "These men you
will remember, are hired for definite labor,
not as general servants. I will have the
tree felled at once if Mr. Murgatroyd
' Iwishes."(tseems to me your model overseer is a
little insolent," mid Melton,half aside ; and.
she replied :
"Children. and servants always put on
airs before company."
Then they rode -on, Mrs. Pomroy linger-
ing to east an irresistible glance into the
eyes of the handsome overseer, as she said,
Have it cut down please, and I will keep
the nest to remember a brave proud man
by,"
"1 don't think you will care to keep it
when you see it,' replied Leon, smiling
briefly, "It is very big and very dirty."
It Was -after the loggers' dinner, at which
the guests assisted as proposed, and just as
they were mounting for their return home,
that two men appeared, bearing between
them from the forest the section of a hem-
lock tree, *ith a pass of sticks' and hay,
leaves, and ffith built in andamong the
stumps of the severed branches. • The over,
seer, handsome and smiling, led them for-
ward, and said to Mrs. Pomroy as she stood
with her brother and Miss Murgatroyd
"This is the crow's nest, madam. You
see it is hardly a pretty plaything for a
lady,"
"How curious 1" exclaimed the beauty.
And then she whispered to her friend :
"Do give the man some money for me,dear.
I am afraid to. Perhaps you are afraid too,
though !"
"1 1" exclaimed the proud girl, and tak-
ing out her potte-monnaie, she selected a
bank -note, and stepping up to Leduc, ten-
dered it, saying," Mrs. Pomroy wishes to
give you this to divide among you."-
, If Louisa Pomroy had feigned a terror she
did not feel a moment before, she now felt
a genuine terror. Sh "did not speak as she
saw the color drop o t of the sunburned
face, and the eyes c ntrad and blaze as
they fastened, not u on her, but the woman
close beside him. F r a Moment both at ood
silent and menacing, ten raising his hand,
Leduc lightly struck the fluttering paper
with the back of his tngera in a gesture of
superb contempt, and said:
Give it to Mr. Murgatroyd, if you
please ; he sells his lumber ; but these men
and I don't sell ourselves."
"Splendid fellow !" murmured Louisa
Pomroy, and really felt what she expressed.
Whatever Mary felt, she said nothing, nor
did she crust one glance toward the tall fig-
ure striding toward the wood '• but as
Harry Melton put her upon . her horse, he
noticed with surprise that her rich lips
were white and shrunken.
The last day of Mrs. Pomroy's visit had
arrived, and to several of the party assem-
bled round the early breakfast -table • at the
lodge it was a day of anxiety and impor-
tance ; to Harry Melton, for he had resolved
that before the new -risen sun should set he
would break through Miss Murgatroyd's
subtle evasions and defences, and force her
to give, him an honest answer to the (Ines -
tion he had not yet -been allowed to ask ; to
Mr. Murgatroyd, for he had, with consitler-
able care, arranged a deer hunt for his
guests on this last day, and could not be
sure that the scouts sent out to discover and
drive the deer within reach of amateur
huntsmen would succeed in doing so ; and
to Miss Murgatroyd because—well, she
could not have told why, except that all
days since the one she fell into the mill -
pool were to her days of anxiety and a hid-
den conflict, beginning to tell upon the
outline of her peachy cheek and lissome fig-
ure. "-1 hope those fellows have driven in
some deer,"muttered the host to hieditugh-
ter, as everbody got to saddle in the crisp,
lovely September morning, already tasting
of October. "1 sent Leduc last night to
look after it, and if its to be managed, he'll
manage it ; that's one consolation.
" I am glad there is one consolation
somewhere," thought Mary, under her
bright smile and nod. "1 wish I could
find it. Will Leduc come in sight, , I won -
de,r,
?0"ur last day, Miss Murgatroyd," Said
Harry Melton, significantly, as he ranged,
his horse along aide of her; which imme-
diately began to curve and plunge danger-
°11‘8‘1YI. beg your pardon; Mr. Melton, but
Moro never will travel comfortably beside a
strange horse. He is wretchedly broken, so
far as society manners go. I must fall back
a little."
"If you didn't worry his mouth -with the
curb, he would go pleasantly eriough,"
retorted Melton, too bitter at perceiving
the ruse to be quite polite, but reining his
own horse back, and suffering his host to
precede him.
The hunt was to be carried on canonically,
that is, with horses and dogs, so far as the
lay of the •country permitted, and if the
deer would only obligingly keep to the num-
erous wood roads and open glades, or to the
stretches of forest clear of undergrowth,
everything might proceed in as orderly a
fashion as in an English park; but unfor-
tunately, besides the hemlocks, whose tall,
straight bolls offer no obstacle to sight or
progress, there. are in the Chateaugay wide
tracts of second growth, scrub oak, birch,
maple, and other deciduous trees, whose
drooping branches and thick -set suckers,
concealing numerous decayed -logs, cavities
where roots have been torn up, and heaps
of wood rubbish, make a horse but a vain
thing for safety, and deer -stalking the im-
perative substitute for hunting. If the
deer, pursued through the open country,
has sense enough to take to these thickets,
of course his chance of escape is vastly in-
creased, especially if he is lucky enough to
cross one of the numerous little ponds
abounding in this region, and so throw the
hounds off the scent. Of the three fine
• bucks sighted and hunted by the Murgat-
royd party, two were wily enough to seek
this refuge, one being run down and killed
in the open after a fine sharp burst of about
four miles.
"We must dismount and take up phi -
tions at various points in the bush," an-
nounced Murgatroyd, breathlessly, as he
cantered back from a tour of inspection down
a tangled wood road. "1 have just seen
Leduc ; he says those two fellows are in
this swamp somewhere, and he has sent
round the men and hounds to drive them
out on this side. I'll post you all at differ-
ent points, and it 'ill be hard if some fellow
don't get a shot. Mary, you and Mrs.Pom-
roy stay just here, and don't dismount.
Melton, Pomroy, come with me."
The three men cli'sappeared, and Mary
fidgeted in her saddle awhile, then said :
"Lu, I'm not going to sit here doing no-
thing. I will -ride down the wood road as
far as I can, and have some chance of seeing
the sport." So restless Moro was released,
and shot down the crooked path, his rider
gayly bending to his glossy neck to escape
the branches that lashed her head and
shoulders. Presently in a little open glade
the road ended, and slowly pacing round its
circle the maiden saw through the matted
undergrowth the gleam of, running water,
and heard the babble of a brook. The long
ride had made her thirsty, and slipping
from the saddle she hitched the reins around
a birch boll, and unhooking the little silver
cup from her girdle, parted the under-
growth, and made her way through it for
some rods, until on the banks of the little
stream she stopped and dipped her cup,
while a voice from behind a neighboring
tree gaily said :
"Give me to drink too, fair Rebecca !"
"Mr. Melton 1 How came you here !"
exclaimed the girl, severe as Diana catching
sight of Acteon. Acteon laughed.
"1 think ib is I who should ask. I was
stationed here to wait for monsieur le cerf,
who is likely to seek the water, and to come
down that little path, By Jove 1"
He seized his rifle and laid it to his
shoulder. Mary sprang to the top of the
bank and looked where he aimed. There,
just bursting from the thicket, and astound-
ed at the human figure so suddenly present-
ed, paused the stag in act to leap, motion-
less for one moment as a statue; head up,
nostrils distended, eyes starting, the image
of arrested motion, of peeing thought, just
one instant too much, for in that moment
the sharp crack of the rifle rang out, and
the splendid cr'
eature springing high in
air, stumbled forwardand fell, his proud
head in the dust.
"By Jove, I've done for him 1" exclaimed
Melton, forgetting the presence of Mary in
the lust of killing—perhaps the strongest
passion in a strong man's nature. Flinging
down his rifle and snatching the hunting
knife from his belt, he sprang forward, his
eyes glittering, his breath panting. The
girl slowly followed, drawo by a horrible
fascination, although already she would
have given her own blood to save the life of
that murdered creature, dying yet not dead,
for, as Melton bent over him, knife in hand,
the stag sprang to hie feekdesperate in that
reckless rage which makes these timid
creatures so terrible when brought to bay;
the man leaped back, but it only gave room
for the fierce thrust of the stag's horn,
which, miesing RS aim, slid along the ribs,
crushing him to earth, but not wounding
him. Uttering a :wild cry of rage and pain,
the creature, planting his forefeet upon the
!breast of his enemy, was just in the set of
OCTOBER 2-2 1897.
repeating the thrust, when, with a loud
halloo, another Man burst from the thicket
and dashed across the interval; quick as
though the stag turned and darted upon
the new opponent. who, unarmed as it
seemed, met the blow, threw his arms
around the neck of the stag, and fell with
him to the earth,one mad struggling heap of
arms legs, beads, glaring eyeballs and pant-
ing breath. But it was the death throe of
! the wounded beast,and after &few moments
he lay still. -
Melton staggered to his feet ; Leon Le-
duc lay still, his eyes dim, his •lips white,
blood oozing from his breast. Mary, rous-
ing from her stunned horror, ran toward
him, and dropping on her knees, cried,
"Yon are hurt, you are killed, Leon 1"
The white lips slowly smiled, more slowly
whispered, "Yes ; but the man you love is
safe."
" The man I love I love no man but
you—you And if you are too proud to
love me back, I will go unmarried to my
grave. Do you hear that, both of you ?"
"Doyou say it knowing what you say ?
Do you mean it, my queen, my darling?'
Yours, only yours, my master 1'
"Then 1 will live 1"
They live there at Chateaugay to -day,
for the lodge has expanded to a substan-
tial dwelling, and Leduc is a county man.
Sometimes the county insists upon his go-
ing to Albany as its representative; once
the State sent him to Washington, and
often Mr. Murgatroyd will have them and
the children down in New York for some
winter morsel's •' but they both like the
Chateaugay • beat, and live there. on their
great doniain just the natural, healthy,
honest life that only great souls know how
to live, cuteing their notch deep into their
generation, and leaving the world a better
world than they found it. And the pride
which as master would have wrecked two
lives, as servant makes two lives more hon-
orable, more assured, ,and more respected
than they would have been without it.
