The maiden, who was no oth- er than Mary Rundle, shrieked for mercy; her attendant and servant was helpless to aid her or himself, and the Englishman, who was on the verge of death, was so struck by the bean- ty of the maiden, that he forgot his own terrible fate in his anxiety for her.

These new presenc- es had the immediate efiect of ceas- ‘ing‘ the hostilities on the part of the Algonquins, who were dazed by the beauty of the maiden, and the rude and unpleasant- appearance of her companion; but the delay was only temporary, for they turned from their victim to snatch the man and the maiden and add them to their num- in the flames and as suddenly draw- ing him from them, until the poor man was nearly crazed; not knowing what the next move might be. In the midst of their mad dance and song .3- beautiful maiden and a middle-aged Hundreds came in the usual order Tomahawks were‘ raised. bows were ' strung, the arrow was poisoned for its dastardly purpose. The yells of sav- age glee rang through the forest. the various tribes of the Algonquins had assembled, and the war-dance was ex- ecuted to the delight of their savage hearts. and still more relentless na- ' ture Suddenly, at the height of their incantations, r deathly silence fell up- on their band. The unsuspecting vic- tim, the new English agent, was the whole cause of the cessation of their merry shouts. He had been explor- ing the forests, and not knowing the direction in which he was travelling, chanced to fall upon the Indians, to whom he was unknown, and they, seeâ€" l ing the pale face, thought he had been sent to them'for their feast. With fiendish delight they seized him from his horse, bound and dragged him to the huge fire around which they were dancing. He tried to explain to them that he was their friend, sent by the Government to aid them, and would show them what he could do to bet- ter their condition. But his voice was drowned by their fiendish yells. They bound their victim, tore soine of his clothes from his back and began to raise him on a stake, on which he was slowly to perish. Cold sweat now streamed down the brow of the poor victim; never did hepray so fervent- ly to God to spare him, and never did any plead more for mercy from his torturers, but all in vain. He sees no hope and finally he closes his eyes at the sight of what he knows is certain doom. As if to prolong his agony, they keep him in his terrible suspense by sometimes putting him One day, in the early autumn, a glorious one it was, the wily Algon- guins were making great preparations fer their war dance, and all kinds" of dyes were prepared for the faces of their red brothers and sisters; strings of boar’s and porcupine’s teeth were all gathered together, and all these were ready to decorate the red brow of the savage and gird his Joins; then with bow and arrow in hand they hastened on their wild chase to the place of rendezvous. When the English agent was first sent to the country, there were few white settlers living in the vicinity. but some fifteen miles distant was one Mr. Rundle, who with his wife and only daughter had occupied and own- ed a splendid estate, on which Mr. Rundle had a large farm. Mary, having been reared in this lonely ‘but romantic spot, knew no fear and was accustomed to roam through the forest or gallop for miles on her favor- ite horse, leading him hither or thith- er as best suited her whim. She grew to know every inch of the forest, and could follow the trail of the wary sav- age, and always avoid any danger. Her mother, like most of fond moth- ers, was always fearful lest Mary ‘ should be followed by the Algon- quins and be captured by them; so she was continually warning her of the danger, but Mary would laughing- ly say, “Never mind, mother mine, my wits will come to my aid if they should come.” Long, long ago, when the white man lhand. As she saw her servmt. who feared and dreaded the fierce attacks was in terrific amiction and thought of the savage Indians, there dwelt, in a beautiful country in the midst of the virgin forest, a gentleman who was the English representative or In: dian agent of the Government, and having been given a residence most beautifully situated near what is now known as “Algonquin Park.” had many visitors from his English home across the sea. who came to spend pleasant weeks with him and his fam- ily. His wife was a most charming- ly attractive and beautiful woman. and of her history this little story has to deal.

Then snatching his plates from his month, she threw them at the savages who, when they saw the teeth taken from the man began to look aghast. See-v ing that this was having some eflect, she snatched his coat from the ser- vant, and giving the wooden arm a jerk, she also threw it at them. The Indians, thinking that this beautiful pale face was possessed of some pow- er oi which they knew not, and fear- ing that she might dissect them in the same manner, muttered some strange incantation to themselves, and with a demoniac yell of fury all took to their heels and fled in the wildest confu- sion. church ,thence to St. church.

Here they lived for many happy years, reared a happy family, and saw a great country built up in the wilderness, where once the Indian Mary Rundle and Harold Edgeworth were married from the Rundle home- stead in the spring following the au- ‘tumn of our story, and the household turned out to do honor to the heroine .w’iose brave deed had made her famous far and wide.

All things. being suited to the satis- faction of both parties, the wedding was arranged to take place at the ear- liest suitable date. In the meantime a regiment was sent out to subdue the Indians who were on the ,war path, The gentleman, whose name we will now disclose as Harold Edge- worth, was so deeply affected by the {beauty of Mary Rundle, that he al- {most forgot all else. To her he ow- jed his escape from a certain and cruel 'death, and to her he would have giv- . en his life, had she asked it; so before {leaving that most hospitable home, he itold Mary of his devoted love for her, iand ofiered his home and his fortune to her. Mary, who was not indiffer- ent to her gallant companion in mis- ery, replied that as they had been so near death together, she thought they should enjoy life together, and she lfelt satisfied that they were destined for each other; to all of which her fond parents gladly assented. The Rundles had' heard of the fine charac- ter of the Indian agent, and though never having met him, as he was on-‘ 1y a short time in the vicinity, were quite prepared to believe he was worthy of their confidence. Mary was never tired telling of his heroic conduct during the horrible torture he was enduring from the savages, and of how calmly he was resigned to his fate. Thus, so suddenly delivered from their agonizing situation. the maiden made the most of the opportunity, and she and the servant cut the cords which bound the unfortunate English- man, who fell prostrate from the shock and exposure to the flames. Soon they procured some water, and after its use restored the gentleman to con- sciousness and assisted him to his horse, which the Indians had forgot- ten in their flight. They drove him to the home of Mary Bundle, which was some five miles distant, and when once within its shelter. they re- lated to her parents the strange experi- ence through which they had passed. Tears and prayers alike were ofiered as thanksgiving for the safe recovery of all three. DEATH OF OPS RESIDENT. IHE WEEKLY FREE ӣ88.
