Onega had the endurance of the Indians themselves, but Adele, in spite of her former journeys, was foot- sore and weary before evening. It was a relief to De Catinat, therefore, when denly through the tree trunks and they came upon an Indian camp in which was assembled the greater part of the war party which had been driven from Ste. Marie. Here, too, were a number of the squaws who had come from the Mohawk and Cayuga villages in order to be nearer to the warriors. Wigwams had been erected all round in a circle, and before each of them were the ket- tles, slung upon a tripod of sticks, in which the evening meal was being cooked. In the center of all was a very fierce fire, which had been made of brushwood placed in a circle so as to have a clear space of twelve feet in the middle. A pole stood up in the center of this clearing, and something all mot- tied with red and black was tied up against it. De Catinat stepped swiftly They could but follow on and walt n: patience for whatever might befall r them. “They have begun already, then,” said Onega composedly. “Well, it will be our turn next, and we shall show them that we know how to die.” “They have not ill used us yet,” said De Catinat. “Perhaps they will keep us for ransom or exchange.” ix: front of Adele that she might not see the dreadful thing. The Indian woman shook her head. “Do not deceive yourself by any such hope” said she. “When they are as gentle as they have been with you it is ever a sign that you are reserved for the torture. Your Wife will be married to one of their chiefs. but you and I must die." “Married to an Iroquois!” Those dreadful words shot a pang through both their hearts which no thought of death could have done. De Catinat’s head dropped forward upon his chest, and he staggered and would have fall- “Do not fear, dear Amory,” she Whis- pered. “Other things may happen, but not that, for I swear to you that I shall not survive you.” As they entered the Iroquois village the squaws and warriors had rushed toward them. and they walked through a double line of hideous faces, which jeered and gibed and howled at them as they passed. Their escort led them through this rabble and conducted them to a but which stood apart. An instant later an old war chief, ac~ companied by two younger braves and by the bearded half Dutch Iroquois who had led. the attack upon the manor house. strolled over and stood in the doorway. looking in at the prisoners. The Bastard was smoking a stone pipe, and yet it was he who talked the most, arguing apparently with one of the younrrer savages, who seemed to come round at last to his opinion. Finally the old chief said a few short stern words, and the matter appeared to be settled. “And you, you heldam," said the Bas- tard in French to the Iroquois woman, “you will have a lesson this night which will teach you to side against your own peOple!” “You half bred mongrel,” replied the fearless old woman. “you should take that hat from your head when you speak to one in whose veins runs the best blood of the Onondagas. You a warriorâ€"you who, with a thousand at your back, could not make your way into a little house with a few poor husbandmen within it! It is no won- der that your father’s people have cast you out.” The evil face of the Bastard grew livid as he listened to the scornful words which were hissed at him by the captive. He strode across to her, and. taking her hand, he thrust the fore- finger into the burning bowl of his pipe. She made no eflort to remove it, but sat with a perfectly set face for a minute or more, looking out through the open door at the evening sunlight and the little groups of chat- tering Indians. He watched her keen- ly in the hope of hearing a cry or see- ing some spasm of agony unon her ing some spasm of agony upon her face, but at last, with a curse, he dashed down her hand and strode from the hut. She thrust her charred finger into her bosom and laughed. “He is a good for naught!” she cried. “He does not even know how to tor- ture. Now, I could have got a cry out of him. I am sure of it. But you. monsieur, you are very white "’ “It was the sight of such a hellish deed. Ah, it we were but set face to face, I with my sword, he with that weapon he chose, he should pay for it with his heart’s blood !” The Indian woman seemed surprised. “It is strange to me," she said, “that you should think of what befalls me when you are yourself under the same shadow.

BROTHERS saying that the Mitche 'Manitou ‘had stricken you with madness, as could be seen by your swimming to their canoe, and that a blight would fall upon the nation if you were led to the stake. But the Bastard said that love came often like madness among the palefaces and that it was that alone which had driven you. Then it was agreed that you should die and that she should go to his wigwam, since he had led the war party. As for me. their hearts were bitter against me, and I also am to die by the pine splin- tersf’ "When is it to be?” asked De Catl- pat. "Now; at once. They have gone to make all ready. But you have time! yet, for I am to go first." “Amory, Amory, could we not die to- gether now?" cried Adele, throwing her arms round her husband. “If it he i sin, it is surely a sin wnich will be forâ€" 1 given us. Let us go, dear. Let us leave these dreadful people and this cruel world and turn where we shall i find peace.” ‘ The Indian woman’s eyes flashed { with satisfaction. “You have spoken wel’l, W'hite Lily,” said she. “Why should you wait until it is their pleas- ure to pluck you? See! Already the glare of their fire beats upon the tree franks, and you can hear the howlings of those who thirst for your blood. Y0!!! have said rightly, “White Lily. There lies the only path for you.” “But how to take it? Onega glanced keenly at the two Waitriors who stood as sentinels at the door of the hut. 'i‘hey had turned away, absorbed in the horrible prepa- rations which were going on. Then she rummaged deeply within the folds of her loose gown and pulled out a small pistol with two brass barrels and double triggers in the form of winged dragons. It was only a toy to look at, all carved and scrolled and graven with the choicest work of the Paris gunsmith. For its beauty the seigneur had bought it at his last visit to Quebec, and yet it might be useful, too, and it was loaded in both barrels. “I meant to use it on myself,” said she as she slipped it into the hand of Die Catinat. “But now I am minded to show them that I can die as an Ononâ€" daga should die and that I am worthy to have the blood of their chiefs in my veins. Take it, for I swear that I will not use it myself unless it be to fire both bullets into that Bastard’s heart.” A flush of joy shot over De Catinat as his fingers closed round the pistol. Here was indeed a key to unlock the gates of peace. Adele had laid her cheek against his shoulder and laughed with pleasure. - AC.

Farewell, and remember Onegal” “Now; Amory,” whispered Adele, closing her eyes and nestling still clos- er to him. He raised the pistol, and then, with a quick sudden intaking of the breath, he dropped it and knelt with glaring eyes, looking up at a tree which faced the open door of the but. â€".0 n C‘ It was a beech tree, exceedingly old and gnarled, with its bark hanging down in strips and its whole trunk spotted with moss and mold. Some ten feet above the ground the main trunk divided into two, and in the fork thus formed a hand had suddenly ap- peared, a large reddish hand, which shook frantically from side to side in passionate dissuasion. The next in~ stant as the' two captives still stared in amazement the hand disappeared be- hind the trunk again, and a face ap- peared in its place, which still shook from side to side as resolutely as its forerunner. It was Captain Ephraim Savage of Boston. And even as they stared and won- dered a sudden shrill whistle burst out from the depths of the forest, and in a moment every bush and thicket and patch of brushwood was sprouting fire and smoke, while the snarl of the musketry ran round the Whole glade, and the storm of bullets whizzed and pelted among the yelling savages. The ivoquois sentinels had been drawn in by their bloodthirsty craving to see the prisoners die, and now the Cana-v dians were upon them, and they were hemmed in by a ring of fire. First one way and then another they rushed, to be met always by the same blast of death, until, finding at last some gap in the attack, they streamed ofl.’ like sheep through a broken fence and rush- , ed_madly away into the forest. But there was one savage who had found work to do before he fled. The Flemish Bastard had preferred his vengeance to his safety. Rushing st Onega, he buried his tomahawk in her brain, and then, yelling his war cry, he waved the blood stained weapon aDOVG his head and rushed into the hut when THE DURHAM to meeting.

The manor house of La Ste. Marie was soon restored to its former pros- perity, but its seigneur was from the day that he had lost his wife and son a changed man. He grew leaner, fiercer, less human, forever heading parties which made their way into the Iroquois woods and which outrivaled the sav- ages themselves in the terrible nature of their deeds. A day came at last when he sallied out upon one of these expeditions from which neither he nor any of his men ever returned. 'rnn END. First Attempted by Amontons "1 the? MCUOWafl'S Eclipse . . .
