*«E»»ie," said Mr. Hamilton entering tbe tent on the following dav, "I propose t^at we ride over and make Mr Ken *wood and Len a call, and see how they •re potting along." "Very well, paoa, I am always ready lora ride," answered Essie, who was busy on some sewing. ''Do yon want to KO

She laughed musically. Certainly not, but you have made a improvement on the original." fl««miled as he answered. ""No, I have not. In nty judgment, I *have not done juntlce to the subject."

They had become wonderfully wall aoanainted, during our hero's illness ftasie and Mr. Hamilton had called nearly every day, and Kenwood almost thanked the shot that had given him the wound seeing that it was no worse, and that he got so much of Essie society in eon*eQu©nce' ., "I saw a sp'endid subject for your raocil yesterday," she said "I was out r&ing, and as I passed near a little brook there

eonld catch a fine view from her position in the saddle, but, in spite ol the beauty of the scenery, a strange de pression of spirits began stealing ovet her. There was an almost impercepti hie hsze spreading over the bithert dear sky, which thickened gradually, till fit last the sun's rays refused to pane trate it. As she sat there she heard h«r*h, hollow cry that seemed to come from the depths of the sky. There waf something weird, and almost aupern?. tural about it, and she involnntanl cast her eyes upward. She saw nothinat first, but in a moment the crv wa repeated, and so far away in the limit less space thAt her eye could scarcely mark it, she discried a tiny speok, sail ing slowly across the sky

The cry was repeated while she look ed, hoUow artd far away, but perfectly distinct. It oirtie from so high an alti hide that it wounded almost sepulchral, and a ^earaeiy perceptible shndder passed over her.

How foolish I am," she thought. "If is nothing but a crane brit somehow I feel strangely depressed. Len says they alwavs uiter that harsh, grating cry before "a storm, and it certainly does look a* tboneh it might rain soon. I had not noticed it before.

Bavnrd signified his consent by arch ing his neck and pawing the ground Impatiently, and the next imtant tb|y were sweeping down tho hill in the di rection ot the camp.

Tbe sky continued to thicken rapidly. Mr. Hamilton was sitting in the tent reading, when N'hemiah entered. "Rain a brewing," remarked the latter, depositing a huge armful of wood in the corner of the tent "I should think Essie would be coming in."

He sauntered out, whistling merrily, Mr. Hamilton looked at his watch. It was three o'clock.

I didn't think it was so late," he. thought, casting a glance at the threatening sky. "Essie must have gone an unusual distance or she would have returned before this time."

He continued his reading, and another hour passed. .i gay,Uncle William?" called Nehe miah, putting his head into the tent—he always addressed Mr. Hamilton as '•Uncle." "What d' yoi: 'spose is the reason Essie don't come?"

Mr. Bamilton laid down his book, and hurried- out to where Nebemiah was standing. The boy's face wore a look ot deep concern. It was not usual for Essie to stay out so late, when it threatened astirm, and he was afraid of something, he knew not wha*. The fa tber began to get really alarmed."

You don't think there has anyth'ng hapjjenod to her, do you?" he asked

Bn"

No, cif course not, but I should think she'd cone." Which way did she go

She started esst, up the river." Nebemiah replied, "but there is no knowing whether she is that wav how, or not. I'll saddle up one of the ponies, and go out that way, if you think liest. I may meet her coming in."

Mr. Hamilton gave his consent, and Nehfrfniah jumping upon the horse, started in the direction taken by Essio.

Another boor passed. Mr. Hamilton was now iboroughly alarmed. He oared to an fro In front of tbe tent, listening to every sound in the hope of hearinit the footstrokesof his daughter horse, till the suspense grew terrible. The sky had grown very dark, and a few largo dropsof rain fell pattering on the leaves. Suddenly there was the sound of footsteps, and the next InsUut I»n appeared. He went forward to meet him.

Have you seen Essie? he asked eagerlv. No," answered the trapper, stopping short, as he noticed the agitation In Mr. Hamilton's voice, "Why, what's the matter—where ii she?"

I don't know," answered Mr. Hamilton hurriedly. "She went ont riding, about noon to-day, and hss not returned. Nehemiah went i« search of her an how ago, but has not app*nre yet. I fear something has happened lo her."

Therw was an anxious, perplexed express on on L»?n's face. I don't know what could 'a happen"be said slowly, "She had her ri lie j' compass With b^r?" be affirmed, rather than asked.

I suppose it is the only course," replied Mr. Hamilton "At least, yon know bestl I should have been totally at a loss to have kept upiibe search in the darkness without your guidance. nd I trust every thing to you, knowing that vou will do all that it is possible for man to do under the circumstances." "That! will," responded the trapper hearMlv. "You can depend on me to tbe last minute of my life."

Tbey retraced their steps towards Mr. Hamilton's camp. Len proposed tha* on the following morning they should proceed to where they had relinquished the search and commence it anew.

It looks as if 'twould ruin harder. too, an' if It does it will soon wash the tracks all out."

He Was obliged to go half bent to see the trail now, in the gathering gloom. The rain had been- increasing steadily, and at last there came a furious dash that nearly blinded them, and the darkness suddenly thickened, so that Len was completely at fkult. He baited under a huge tree and spoke:

It's no use tryin' ter keep the trail further, it's so pesky dark an' the rain has 'most put it out. We can't make torches stay lit, an' all we oan do now ter keep on in this direction, an' keep Tallin' for her. The horse prob'ly come in a straight line, so we won't git very far off the track. I'm heart sorry it's o," headded, "but I don't see as it can he' helped." "You speak truly," replied Mr Hamilton "it is the best and all we car do."

They continued on in tbe pelting rain and now almost impenetrable darkness, keeping the same course, and oecasion ally calline Essie's name, bnt there wap no response save the patter cf the rain and the dull, soughing of the wind through the trees.

After

agiin halted. It was now so inky dark that objects were totally indistinct afoot from their faces, and tbey were obliged to keep their hands held out before them, to avoid running against the trees and brush. The rain had partly ceased bnt the wind was blowing furiously.

who had become dearer to

This lifted as the day advanced, but the sky was smoothly overcast with dull, gray clouds, which the sun's rayp failed to penetrate. Our friends were astir with the light, and hastily preparing themselves, set out for Mr. Hamilton's tent. Tbey found him

trapper led them directly to

the spot where they had relinquished the search tbe previous night, and then halted.

Now, boys, I think about noon, if tbey don't nothin' turn up afore, we'd better meet here an' compare notes, as it w*r. In all human prob'billty we'll find her, or she will us, afore that time, but in order for all o' us ter find it out we'll have to meet here. Are it the thing?"

All agreed that this was the best course to pursue, and they separated and commenced the search, each one calling out her name frequently, so that if she ww hurt she would bear and auswer them.

During the forenoon tbey scoured the woods in every direction, next to the camp, and at noon Leu emerged from the bushes and approached the spot decided upon as their place of meeting One look into his face showed that he, it least, had been unsnccessftil, and he sat down gloomily, to await the arrival of the others. Kenwood came fti soon •Afterward, and in a few minutes Nehemiah and Mr. Hamilton appeared. All wore gloomy and troubled races. Essie was still nnfound.

Len proposed that Nehemiah should mount Bayard and ride to the tent, and see if she was there, as it was possible that she had returned during the forenoon and also bring a supply of food, of which all stood in need.

This being agreed upon, the youth spr-tng into the saddle, and started at a rapid gallop towards their camp. Mr. Hamilton was nearly wild with grief, and could "hardly control his feelings. He had maintained tolerable calmness during the forenoon hoping that Len's solution of Bayard's appearance had been the true one, but as the hourswore on the hope had grown fainter, and be felt if Nehemiah return brought, no news of her, that she was indeed lost.

The clatter of horse's hoofs sounded near, and the next instant the boy ap One glance into his face told them the truth. "She ain't there, nor hain't been," he said, throwing the bridle rein over a limb "everything is just as we left It."

He brought forward a large basket of provisions, and the party fell to witn a will, with the exception of Mr. Hamil ton. He could only swallow a few moutbfnls, much as he reeded nourishment. The meal was half concluded when Len. chancing to look un, saw an Indian standing near, regarding them with a look of wonder on his stoical face.

Yes," responded Len/'I'veseen him once or twice." Then be raised his voice and continued: "Hello thar, Osawah
