THE BOY CAPTIVE.

[Cbntfntttd/toM Fir*tpag€-1

so dense to prevent a clear sight In the chase. 1 he autumn fire, as I have said, had done its work before Phil and Mugwa started out, so they traveled to the westward, towards the border 9f the great prairies, where some of the most valuable game bad been driven by the flames and smoke.

Two full weeks were spent on tbe Wabash hunting grounds, and so well ,. $ was the chase rewarded in the gatberinj: of furs that they would have remains longer, had it not been for an unlooked

f,-

for circumstance. One evening, as they sat beside the little tire over whioh their- venison had been broiled, Mugwa counted up the skins that Phil had taken, and found, to his apparent gratification, that the boy .,, had not missed a single snot. "I have ballets left," said our hero "but not a tull charge of powder is in my horn. You will nave to divide with me, Mugwa." I ^1 The Bear Slayer shook his head with 4 a scowl, and holding up his own horn between Phil's face and tbe fire, tbe lad saw that Mugwa bad even less ponder than himself.

Each, it appeared, had depended on the other, ana used his stock down to point where it would require the oon tents of both horns to make one full charge.

We must start towards the rising sun in tbe early morning," said the Indian, "aud walk fast, too, tor the path is long, and no way to get game powder mall gona."

Pnil realized the situation. He knew well enough that Mugwa meant by "no way to get game" that they had lost their means or defense in case of trouble. They could get enough meat for the tourney from the sleek buck that had boen killed but a few hours before.

They laid themselves down to rest early, and were up and away by daylight. Each added to the goodly load sor skins he bore a quarter of venison thinking it best not to stop and 'jerk" the meat, as would have been done un der ordinary circumstanoes.

They traveled as rapidly as possible through the entire day, save a little halt at noon to partake of food and to rest.

Just at nightfall a dismal howling was heard away to the right, followed bv others off at tbe left, whioh were echoed from all sides.

Heap miniri," said Mugwa. Yes, many wolves," answered the youth.

"Smell tbe meat we carry, and make trouble," continued the Bear Slayer, •i Phil would have answered, but just at that instant something flashed pa&t his lace and brought a quick "ugh" from

Mngwa. An arrow had come from some secreted foe and near the Intended mark, but fortunately passed harmlessly by.

They had nardly recovered from their surprise when a seooud shaft from an'Other quarter out close to ear of the Bear ^Slayer.

Run," said Mugwa "if there are more than two they will follow. If not, Hb will fear to expose themselves to our rifles." os in to a is be

Indian glanoing ovor his shoulder right and left, but nothing was seen of the »enemy.

They made fully half a milein quick •J- time, then slacked their pace into walk.

Will they follow us?" asked Phil panting for breath, sfter tbe race. May follow, but they will be as sly as foxes. They wsntour fors, maybe, maybe our scalps."

During this time the howling of the wolves grew more frequent and nearer. Already tbe gaunt, doalike forms were seen here and there. They sniffed the air wtth upturned noses, and sent out mournful and prolonged .howls that would have filled any one but a forester with terror.

Bad fix," Mugwa said, after a moment of silence. "No powder to shoot either of tbe enemies. If we make afire to keep off one, the other can make a sure mark of us."

We will have to take to a tree, soon," said Phil, "half a dosen have already snapped at my heels tbey grow bolder and boldor every minute, as tbe number increases. I would as soon be shot from tree as to be torn to pieces by these hungry beasts, I'd make tbe yelpers howT for something, if I bad powder for my gun."

After going a few rods farther, Mugwa saw that they had ventured as far ss was safe, and aiding Phil to mount a tree, he handed up the venison and for*, then clambered away from the snapping jaws and firered and famishing mouths that were dashed at his feet ss be ascended. "Gone to roost for thenlght," said tbe youth, after they had taken comfortable positions upon large limbs.

No," answered the old Indian, "we most kill all the wolves, and then get out of the war ef the two-legged enemy upon onr truck. They will not venture near while tbe hungry dogs are here. They watch, and in tbe morning And us

They ajinft The boy langhed attheideaaa he heard this, and remarked: We look like killing fifty wolves, sitting tip here without enough powder to kill a dripping bird!"

Mugwa said nothing,^feat busied him* self in *craping Into floe flour a darkcolored lump of something that he had taken Atom hia bunting frock.

Phil watched hlrt with silent Intareafc. After considerable of the material bad beeti prepared, Mugw* began cutting small piece* of meat from one quarter of VMitftnn. Making a slit in each of the piecua. a little ofthe mysterious powder was inserted, and tbe Wis thrown to the hungrv animals below, who caught and devoured them se test as tbey foil.

Presently a portion ofthe pack began whirling aronnd In a frwnsied manner, then leaping Into the air with dMreasing snarls and arowls, and, as if nanicatrioken. plungsd awajr out of algbt.

Yes," waa the anawer, "but let us down and away before we have another foe upon uat"

Hoaching tbe earth, Mugwa threw nway tbe leg of venison be had been eatttng from, and alter throating hia knife several times into the earth to remove all tracee of the poison, he packed sweater part of tbe loggage upon hia own shoulders, and tbe two moved rapidly away into the feat gathering dark nam of the night.

tramp they bawled lslsurely, "A*10**° more of the unknown lurking foe whom they had completely foiled.

Night 1% approaching again when they came to the margin of a pretty river bordered with a thick fringe of willows. Here Mugwa suddenly caught Phil by the arm, and pointing with bended head into tbe bushes, exouTmed:

u(Aaga»heI

Canoes T" echoed tbe boy. The Indian bowed. Directly ahead, and drawn partly up on to the bulk amid the willows, werj two canoes, sure enough. In one stood a pole aix or eight feet long, to whioh were attached several soalpa. In the bottom of tbe little bark was a miscellaneous lot or skins, guns, and trinkets.

After making a carefill aurvey of the surroundings, Mugwa- consented to a close examination. A moment lator Phil gave a low cry ol pain. "Something bite?" asked the old In dian.

No," said the youth, brushing a big tear from his cheek, "I am not hurt, only glad that there is powder here."

Mugwa waa not satisfied with this explanation, nor was it tbe cause of the outcry. The truth waa Phil had lifted great bearskin, and at a glanoe rocog nixed it as the very one that Uncle Lewis had brought to the cabin, as the reader will remember, tbe last night that our hero staid in hia rustic home.

There were the three ball holes in tri angular position. Above him hung dangling a scalp of dark hair from tbe crown of some white person. Was not that from- the devoted head of Uncle Lewis These sights and thoughts made tbe poor boy shake as if a convul sive chill had swept over his frame, but it would not do then and there to give way to tbe emotions that seized upon his heart. „,

Mugwa would be jealous if be knew the truth, so Phil smothered his feelings and turning his he^d away to hide his face, remained silent.

The old Bear Slayer, after a momen given to watching tbe peculiar actions of his young companion, turned his attention to the examination of the trink ets, etc., before them.

He picked up a powder horn and hand Ing it to Phil, told him to load his gun lor they might have trouble at any time his own gun was already loaded. Pees ently anew idea appeared to strike him

Here are paddles," he said in a low tone of voice, "let us cross the river at once, take what we want of these things, and sink the boats.- We must move silently, for the owners are not far away Indian never leave his gun when going long distance must work quick."

Phil gave ready assent, and they had hardly pushed the littld barks into the water beyond tbe willows when the dip of a paddle reached their ears.

Hark," whispered tbe lad, shrink ing down behind a bending cluster of twigs, "some one is coming up the river and close by too."

Tbe old Bear Slayer, half secreted beneath the willows, gazed anxiously in the direction from whence the sound proceeded, but nothing was in sight to cause alarm. He did not know that the river widened but a few yards below and that the view was out off by over hanging brashes. One moment later canoe snot out into plain sight.

Mugwa instantly drew bsck the boat telling the boy to do tbe same, but it was too late to prevent detection. They were seen by the two painted and plumed Wvandot warriors, who were gliding up "to the very spot where our friends were standing.

Lifting their guns, the savages sent out a yell that made the forest ring, Mugwa would have retreated, but scarcely bad the battle cry died away when four more stalwart warriors came bounding down tbe gradually inclining river bank, close upon them. [TO BE CONTINUED.]

[From Cassell's Family Magazine.]

A Blight in Summer:

I w&s not the regular doctor, for the

gractioean

at Burnley belonged to Fred

arnet, old hospital friend of mine who had taken to a simple country practioe while I had been roaming about the world as surgeon in emigrant ships, and during the Franco-German war. We had met after seven years, when I wanted a month's quiet in tbe country, and he had aaked me to attend to bis practice, while he came up to town to pass a degree, for he was a bard studying, am bitlous fellow.

A man at the door desired me to come over and see his master, who was dying of gout. This waa the announcement by the servant. Saving that I had been consulted about a "terrible wherritin pain" in the bnck of an old lady of sev enty-flve, this was my first call. "There'sMissKatea-watchingfor us."

I could see the flutter of a white dress by the gate as we drove on, but my attention was too much taken up by the prettlness of the place, and 1 was gaping t, thinking nothing of "Miss

dly abou Kate" and her caree, when the gig stopped. acjd I jumped down.

Here he is, uncle, dear," sheoried. Time he was here," exclaimed some one, with a savage roar.

After giving various little orders I placed tbe tender leg in an easy position, t&e patient breaking out into furious exo'amations tbs while. Then, by mesne of some hoops from a small wooden tub* I made a little gypsy tent over the limb so that the oovenngs did not touch the exquisitely tender skin, and at tbe end of half an hour bad the pleasure of hearing a sigh of satisfaction, of seeing smile steal over tbe face, which waa now amooth and bedeweu with a gentle perspiration, and directly after, in a dro*vay voice, my patient said:

Kitty, my darling, he's a tramp. Take him into tbe next room and apologise to him, and tsll him I'm not always aucb a beast." lie waa half asleep already, while I— even In that abort nour— I had fallen into a dream, a dream of love I who bad never lovod before, nor thought of It, but as sickly boy and girl stun, unworthy of busy men.

I osnnot tell you bow that day passed, only that Kate Anstey had implored me nr«t to leave her uncle yet and If I was her slave, and would have done her bidng even to the death.

He waa soon better, but my visits to the farm were mors frequent than ever. I went one day ss usual, but Instead of Kate being at tbe window and running out to meet me, the old gentleman stood

Um tiuui, Mukiug »«y tngiy, and be at once caught bold of my coat and dragged me into tbs kitrben. "Is anything wrong?" I said, trembling.

Yes, lota," said tha old man. "What do yon come here fort" For mercy's saks, dont keep it bsck!" I said, for tbe room seemed to swim round me. "Is Kate ill

Yes—I think she la," he said gruffly. "But look here, young man, what does this mean

Mean!" I said. "Oh, Mr. Brand, if she la ill let me see her at ones!" "She dent look very bad," he said, ih« crack of the door

It was one dark night in winter that I was just going to bed, half wishing that I had had a call—for I knew thatl should only lie and toss about sleepless and I was too good a doctor to try ray own drugs—wnen tbe surgery bell rang sharply, and tbe summons that I bad wished for came.

It was a policeman with a handsome cab, and his oilskin shone wet and vividly in the red light .of the lamp over tbe door.

Axiden' case, sir," he said. "Dr. Barker in tbe next street's got it in 'and, air. and he wants help."

I learned from him that a gentleman had been knocked down by tbe very same cab we were in, and trampled upon by the horse before tbe wheel went over and broke bis leg.

We were there in a few minutes, and I was shown into the back parlor of a comfortably furnished house, where the suferer had been laid upou a mattress.

A brief conversation with my colleague ensued, and he told me what be feared and how he was situated, another important call demanding his presence. The result wss that I agreed that we would examine the patient, and then 1 would stay till Dr. Baker's return.

A faint groan£from the mattress salu ted us as we turned to our pstient. and as I held the lamp over his face, ana tbe light foil upon the fair hair and long drooping moustache, I nearly droppod it*

Nemeaia!" I thought. Mine enemy delivered Into my hand. Kate's lover lying bruised and broken—crushed like reed st my feet. And now 1 need not kill him to be revenged for all his crnelty to me, but stand by supine, and be would die.

For a few brief moments told me that

Sesgue,

Messed grester knowledge thsn my snd that if I withheld mine, nothing which Dr. Barker could do would save the flame even now trem bling In the soocket of life's lamp.

The scene in the wood flashed before me once again as I stood there—Kate's sweet face upturned asking for this man's kisses, and all so vivid that my brain reeled and a mist floated before my eyes. "What do you think, Mr. Lswler?" said a voice at my elbow, and I started bsck Into the present. "That he'll be past saving in an hour," I said, quietly.

I fear so," said Or. his shoulders.

into the parlor, where I OQuld see her White dr|M "but I say, young man, you'd bettor not eome any mots. She's growing dull, aid I can't have my darling made a fool o&"

Made a fool of!" I stammered. Yes," he said, gruffly 5 "what do you come here for T"

I waa silent for a minute, with a won* drous feeling stealing over me, and at last my lipa said—l did not prompt them—"because I love her with all my heart."

And you've told her so?" "Not a word," I said, slowly. My hand was being crushed as in a vice the next minute. "I'm not a gentleman, Doctor, but I know one when I meet one. There, you may go and talk to her, if it's as you aiay for ifit,a true yon Wouldn't make her unhappy but my lad, the man who trifled with that girl'a heart would bo the greatest sooundrel that ever stepped on God's earth."

Tbe whole of this part of my life Is so dreamy that it is all like some golden vision. But I was at her 6hair, I know and that glorious evening I was content to watch the soft, dreamy fhee beside me as she sat therewith bjuida folded in her Isp, watching the sunset.

At last we rose and walked togethe through tbe wood, to stop at last beneath an overahadowlng tree, and there in low, broken words I told her I loved her, and in her sweet girlish simplicity, she lsid her hands upon my shoulders looked up in my face, and promised to be my little wife. 1 went home that night riding in wonderful triumphal chariot instead of a gig, and to my great surprise on reach ing the house there was Fred Garnet

Back already T" I stammered. "Already? Why. the month's up, he said, laughing. "You must have had ^ood sport with your fishing, Master

It came upon me like thunder, this return, and I lay that night awake— happy, but miserable, for this meaut the end of my visit, and what was to come in the future? I bad* not thought of that,

I put it off for tbe time, and haviug obtained willing permission from Garnet, I went his rounds the next morn ing, and of course found my way to the farm.

I fancy tbe servant looked at me In rather a peeuliar, constrained way, as she said that her master bad gone, to the off-hand farm. "And Miss Kate?" I said. "She's down in the wood, sir," said the girl. 1 waited to liear no more, but ran along the garden, leaped the gate, aud crossing two fields, went through the wilderness, and over the stile into the wood.

My darling!" I kept repeating, as 1 hurried on, expecting to meet her at every turn, and then I stopped short with a horrible pang seeming to catch my heart. I was aizzy, faint, raging with anger, and half maa in turn bu, that all passed off to leave a bittert crushing sense of misery, as I held on by a young sapling, ana peered at tbe scene before me.

There stood, with her back to me, Kate—false, false Kate, with the arm of a tall, handsome, military looking man encircling her waist, her head resting on bis shoulder and even as I gazed, he bent his head down and she raised her arms—her face—her lips to meet his kisses, as he folded her tightly to his breast.

I saw no more, butstole blindly away went to the stable, saddled and bridled the horse in a dreamy fashion, mounted, rode back to Burnley, tbrew the bridle to the mai, walked straight to the sta tion without seeing Fred Garnet, and went to London.

Six months glided by, and then I was once more called upon to take cbargc of tbe practice of a friend in tbe suburbs,

Barker, shrug-

Here I unfolded my plans an I said bi.terly U» myself, "And heap coals of fire upon hia head. Kate, take your lover, and God forgive you!"

Excellent," exclaimed Dr. Barker, who waa a frank, gentlemanly follow, without professional jealousies and in hours' time we hed done all that was necessary, our patient waa breath* ing eaaily, and Dr. Barker was shaking my

He's saved, Mr. Lawlsr. You'vs ssvsd his life. Now I'll be off sod get back in an boor's time. You've given me tbe greatest lesson in surgery lever bad in my lifc."

And then I waa alone, thinking bitter­! ly of what I bad done. Kate—Kate darling I"

Tboss words feebly muttered brought me to mwlfc aaa( was tbs cold, bard man once more aa I rose, snd taking the lamp, bent down over my patient, whose eyes now opened snd he starsd st me.

Yes," he said, speaking with pain, aud 1 could not stop him now. "Consumption, they say broken heart, I think. Some sooundrel

I almost dropped the lamp as I caught bis hand and gripped it, and said in a hoanj}, choking voice, fori was struggling to see tbe full light:

Wiiat do you wish me to do?" "Telvgrsph, at auy expense, to' my brother in-law. Take It down, or you'll forget. From Christopher Anstey to John llrand, Grernmead, Burnley. Say Kate is not to bdget. You know best." "Ys, yes," I stammered, my hands trembling as 1 took out a bencil and

to write. "Miss Kate, then,"

faltered, "is My darling child J" sobbed tbe poor fellow "and she's dying!"

He was too weak, to faint to heed me, as with a 1 itter groan I turned away stunned—mad almost—at my folly. For I saw it all now, poor, weak, pitiful, jealous fool that I was. I bad seen the

gy

irl I worshipped potted and caressed her own father, and, without seeking or MUng an explanation, I bad rusbea away, leaving her to think me a scoun drel—nay, worse.

When I turned once more to the mattress my patient had fallen asleep, and stood there thinking.

In a few minutes I had made my plans then, watch in nand, I impatiently wait ed for Dr. Barker's return.

He was back to his time, and in a few words I had made my arrangements. Doctor," I said, "you said you were in my debt for this night's work." "My dear sir, I'll write you a check for twenty guineas with pleasure," he replied. "Pay me in this way," I said "see that the patients whose names 1 have written on this slip of paper are attend ed to well for the next two days, and tell our friend here that bis message has been seen to."

He promised eagerly, and the next minute I was in the street, running to the nearest cabstand.

I was just in time to catch the early morning train, and half mad, half joyous, I sat Impatiently there till tbe tram dropped me at Burnley, where the fly slowly jolted me over to the Four Mile Farm.

It was a bright, clear, frosty morning, and tbe sun glanced from the river upon the trees, but I could think of only one thing as I kept urging the driver on and he must have thought me mad as I leapt out and rushed into the well known parlor. "Kate!" I cried, as half blind I ran towards a pale face lying back in an easy chair by tbe fire.

You sooundrel!" was roared at tbe same moment, and the sturdy farmer had pinned me by the throat. ies, all that," I said "only hear me."

His hands dropped as Kate uttered low cry and fainted. "Quick!" I said, "water and some brandy."

With a low growl of rage my old patient for gout obeyed me, and in a few minutes Kate opened ber eyes to look foil in mine as her head rested on my arm.

Have you come—to say good-by?" she said feebly and there was such a look of reproach in that poor worn face, thatl could only answer in a whisper:

No, no—to ask you to give and bless mo with your love to ask you to forgive me for my cruel weakness, for I must have been mad.

A deep groan made me turn my head, to see that the farmer's head was down npon bis arms, and bis broad shoulders were heaving.

I thought you would never come again," said Kate feebly "but I never gave up hope."

DJSA QRftEABLR HABITS, Nearly all tbe disagreeable habits which people take up comest first from mere accident or want of tbought. They might easily be dropped, but tbey are persisted in until tbey beootne a aeoond nature. Stop and think before you allow yourself to form them. There are disagreeable habits of body, like scowling, winking, twisting the mouth, continually picking at something, twirling a key or fumbling at a chain, drumming with the fingers, screwing and twlatlng a chair, or whatever you can lay your hands on. Don't do any of these things. Learn to sit quietly, like a—gentleman, I was going to say, but I am afraid even girls fall into such tricks sometimes. There are much worse habits than these, to be sure, but we are speaking of very little things that are only annoying when they are persisted in. There are habits of speech, also, such as always beginlng With "you see" or "you know" "now-a," I don't oare," I tell you what," tell you now." Indistinct utterance, sharp nasal tones, a slow drawl, avoid them all. Stop ana think what you wish to say, and then let every word drop from your lipa just as smooth and perfoct as anew silver coin.
