As we near civilization. Mr. Herndon wo necessarily resume our pr^pt places," continued tho woman. "I HOI giad that yon have righted me in you own miud." fche raised ber eyes and looked at hitK. "I nevor onco thought of your name or your money," she said

A fhi ro.se in his cheek. At that moment the tfian felt himself contempt ible before ber. I judged you by low standards," he said Yurriedlv.

They ate their snppcr: then Herndon piied the lire with branches dragged irom the fore&t behind. "It is the last night wo shall bo together," he said. "Sit a while, won't you?" for hitherto Mirirm had withdrawn to the canoe early iw tho evening:, Sho oat down upon a anket, with her back against a two-foot sand bluff of the shore. Dark ncss came down rapidly the blazo of tho lire made a circle .of light around them and shoao upon her face. She took off her broad straw hat and tho close cap of the sisterhood the heavy braids of her black hair crowned her head anu gave depth to her gray eyew. Herndon lay on the sand at a little distance, bis hfinds under his head, hispipo in ins mouth. "By Jove!" he said to himself, "she is almost handsome." (But sho was not it was only tho lire-light and the niirht.)

At nine o'clock tho woman rose. She had sat quietly enough under his gaze, occasionally replying to his desultory remarks, arid ho felt somewhat vexed women generally either turned away from or toward his look they did not nit unmoved like that "I suppose it is because she is so religious," he said to himself.

It hu(-l grown very d.irk, and the wind began to moan through th-.i pines. "Perhaps you hud better not stay out there to-night," said Herndon.

It is quite safe," said the woman, going on with her preparations as twial. Then siio stepped into tho canoe and pushed it off with the paddle. "Mr. Herndon," she said, stan-hng outlinod in the lire-light against tho darkness of tho water behind, "have you entirely oxenor.ited me from all inclination to insist upon that marriage service that was spoken ovor us, on account of your name or fortune, whatever they may be "I have indeed," said Ilorneon warmly. "I am ashamed of myself for over having thought so, Miss Miriam."

I am very glad thank you. And I have one more thing to say you need not have been afraid, for—am married already." Aud tho cauoo wont out into tho darknoss

The next morning, when ho woke, a cold live rain was pouring steadily down. He felt very uncomlortable in his damp blankets,*aud rose. The lire was out, lie i.....ked seaward tho canoe was goue. Miriam had loft him in the night,' taking tho boat with her. Sho would reach the Sault twelve hours be foro him, since it was slow walking by tho boaeh. "Why did sho do it?" he said, angrily. IIo throw off his coat, and went down to tho lake to bat ho his faee and hands. When ho camo back, something caught his eye, Pinned to tho inside of tho garment wt»s tho half sheet' of' paper upon which he had watched her writing. "Sho roust have come in to shore and placed it there while I wasmloop," ho thought. And this is what ho found

Kiohard Herndon sat down on his wet blankets in tho ittin, and thought. Then he rose, cooked his breakfast, packed his trujisj, and set off ou his long beach walk to tho Sault.

Those gaunt, dark, hollow eyed wo men are the very ones for this sort of thing," ho said to himself, not without a vague wonder at tho power of his fffi) attractions. "All tho same, I am inor« than half in love with her myself." ho added. "Perhaps—"

Yes, perhaps. P»ut ytffcrs afterward ha said that it was "a llappy escape she would have'been vorv inconvenient."

She asked me who they were, and, when I told her, turned again to her book, studying the picture Intently for some minutes and striving to reoonite tho partial nudity of the figures with the present stylo of dress. At last she arrived at some conclusion, and looking up in mv face, with big, serious eyes, remarked: "I dess they are doin baren'."

THK INDIAN BRINGS NEWS. It WES about midnight when Edwards took his leave ot Essie in tho cave, and it was not far from this hour that Osawah was proceeding through the woods about a mile from Mr. Hamilton's camp.

Ho was walking along slowly with head bent, when he heard the sound of footsteps approaching. Ho stopped in concealment, aud the next instant, Stumpy, leading Bayard, passed within a dozen feet of him.

Tho Indian's eyes were keen, and in spite of the darkness, he recognized th man and borso. Quick as thought be had glided from his covert, and was on their trail. He saw that .Stumpy was approaching Mr. Hamilton's camp, and when within a ft rods of it he stopped, and securing th«s horse disappeared in the darkness.

Five minutes passed then he reappeared, and began untying the horse. Evoryihia-j is ail rpiiet," ho mattered, "and they'll never be the wiser consarning the brute."

He led the horse to its accustomed place beside the others, then moved away in the direction of Edward's cabin, on tho shore of the lake, closely followed by Osawah. Not a movement escaped the keen eyes of the Indian, and he watched him enter the cabin, start a fire, and after partaking of a hearty sup per, wrap himself in buffalo robes, and compose* 1-j'inself to sleep.

Satisfied that lie intended remaining there for the night, Osawah retraced his steps to Mr. Hamilton's camp, an-! the gray dawn was just lire king when he rapped at the door of tho tent.

At the same hour a lithe figure flitted from Wisconope's lodge. It was tho Indian girl Estewawah.

W'isconope tired out with ber long vigils over the sick «irl was sleeping soundly, and was totally unconscious of the form that .stole softly from the couch at one side of tho apartment, and brnt over her a single instant in an attitude of prayor, and then lifted the heavy rob? that formed tho door and stepped out into the dull gray of the autumn dawn.

Her long dark hair hung in unreatm'.nedfreedom over her shoulders her face was wan and pale, and her every movement feeble. Sho looked about her at: he rose tinted sky, and varied woodls-'.rts, a Iontr, lingering look, then ra'isst her hands with a supplicating gosture, while she fixed her eyes on the li mi less space that stretches out to the infinite. Her lips moved in a swift whisper:

Great Spirit forgivo Estewawah," sho murmured, "her heart is broken." A moment she remained standing thus, then with feeble uncertain steps, sho wont down to the lake.

Oaawah's rap was answered by Nebomiah. Hello, Firedy!" ho exclaimed, as ho caught sight of iiitn. "\Vh#t the dickens is up

nvs," re plied I'HO In

dian, gravelv, follow i'tg the youth into the tent, "is my oluvr white brother liecp

Yes," replied Neheniiah. "I'll call him—oh, here he is, now." Mr. Hamilton appeared from the other apartment at this instant-. He had heard tho Indian's voice, and a sudden thought sprang into his miud that ho brought news of his child.

Osawah has not seen tho white maiden," the Indiau replied, in nswer to his anxious inquiries, ho then proceeded to give an acount of what he had seen during tho night.

They listened with wreath less attention, and accompanied by Osawah, proceeded to wbero the horses were coraled. Mr. Hamilton began to examine B.iyard with feverish anxiety, and a moment after he uttered an exclamation as be discovered tho fragment of plume. With trembling fingers he detached it 'roai its place, and held it up for thoir inspection.

It i9 a portion ol the plumo from K-wio's hat!" be ,exclaisued eagerly. "My daughter still lives, thank Oocl V'

It seemed as if he would go wild with joy aud thankfulness at his discovery. It was undeniable proof thst Essio was still alive, and ho questioned the Indian again, in which direction he first sa\y the bursa, and Osawah repeated all he knew c^noernlngH.

Mount Bayard, immedi?telv, Ne&emiab, and ride io tho cabin, ancl arouse Lon and Mr. Kenwood!" Mr. Hamilton exclaimed, turning to the youth, "Tell them we have a cine to Essie's disappearance, and that she is stlil alivo."

Aud a moment later N'eberniah was dioplng at a breakneck paco iu the direction of Lep Leyden's cabin.

It was fully day, when h6 thundered up to the door and halted. Hello thnro! Whoo whoop! Hurrah Couio, turn out!" he yelled swinging his imtnensa straw hat around his head.

There was a o'atterinsr of stools and benches In tho interior of the cabin, and the next instant the door was palled open, and tho astonished, bewildered face of I/m appeared.

Tearin' Jerusalem!'' he exclaimed, as he peered out "What's broke loose Everything!" responded Xehemiah. continuing to swing his hat. "Whoop! Hurrah!"

Carn'd if he haint gone craxy!"

ejaculated Len, surveying him dubiously. "I say, ole boss jes* you quit swinging that 'ere hat, or vou'U blow our caboose down. Just cool oil a little an' tell ua what's up."

WellNehemiah said at laat, "Bayard here, had Essie on his back last night."

What?" exclaimed the trapper, sharply. ure's you're born," continued Nehemiah. "Osawah seen that feller that's with Edwards a leading him up from

towards the river in the night,and heiol lered him,and seen him bring him home, and then go down to their shanty. An' when we come to look at tho horse, they's a piece of tho feather in her hat, here in his mane. She put it there to let us know, I'll bet, Osawah's up to the tent now."

Whoop!" yelled the trapper. "She ain't dead arter all." Stanley had been standing behind Len while this conversation was going ftn. "Thank Heaven," was his silent thought, "Oh, thank Heaven for that."

Instantly all was bustle and confusion. Hastily equipping themselves, they wero ready to accompany Nehemlah in a few minutes. On the way back, he explained more fully, all he had learned of the Indian concerning the affair.

I'll bet that skunk of an Edwards is at the bottom of tho whole thing!" ejaculated Len, excitedly. "If I nit a chance to draw a bead on him, I'll bet he'll never abduct any moro gnls. No siree! not to any great extent."

I've thought ever sines that day that Stumpy was so' cross and catatikerous about me follering him, that maybe he knew something 'bout it,"re«poudcd Nehemiah. "But what the miserable old hunks colud have been doing with tho horso is more than I know." "I think I can explain that," said Stanley. I coincide with Len about Edwards being at the bottom of it, and haven't the least doubt but that Stumpy is concerned. I think that they have a stronghold—in fact I know it from what I have seen—in the big swamp, and iu all probability they had her concealed there, aud wanted to remove her for some purpose, and not having horses of their own, took a notion to confiscate this one. Of course, in the night time they hoped to return the animal without it being missed. Essie has no doubt ridden him, as was shown by the plume fastened into his mane so securely. She took this way to let you know that the horso had been used, and that she was still safe. This is the cwnstruction that. I put on tho fiffair."

Right, I'll bet a picknune!" exclaimed L'-m, and Nehemiah echoed t'-e smt-i-liout. They all felt confident that tniwas the case, fuid all were hopeful «. SOMTI finding E-sie safe and unharmed.

They soon reached the tent. In his eagerness Mr. Hamilton had prepared bp-saklast aud though time was precious, all knew the folty of commencing tinsearch without liaving partition of livid. A goodly supply of roasted meat, rVo, sagar and crackers Mr. Hamilton set before them, and Os&wah was almost at a loss to know how to procoed. He watched the others*, however, and soon learned to manage hi3 knifo and fork, and sip his coffee with his crackers— neither of whiv-h he had ever tasted before, and both of which, with a satisfied expression, h* pronounced "good.''

In a sbori. lime everything was in readiness for a start. It was concluded to endeavor to track the horse, which, with O-sawah's knowledge of the direc lion from which he had come to give thorn a start, they thought.would not be very difliculc. Led by i,he latter, all repaired to the spot where lie had first discovered tho horse. The trail wa« easily foilowed, and they started forward as fast us possible.

They had gone perhaps iwo miles, when they came to a small ni!l some distance from tho river. On examination, they discovered that the horse had been brought here from almost the same direction from which they had come, and had been turned here, and led back to Mr. Hamilton's camp.

A minute examination by tho party, fdled t- find any trail leading from this spot. Two different sized tracks were found, probably those of Edward's and Stumpy. Where the horse bad stopped were two tidy boot heels whicti Were recognized by all. "You soe here's where she jumped off,'' said Len, examining the marks.

Which proves conclusively that she was here last ni-ht," Stanley remarked, finishing tho sentence, witu a glance at Mr. Hamilton. "Uonsarn it Which way'd they go?" exclaimed Nohemiah, who had been looking around, and now came up to whore the rest of the company were standing. "I can't find a track."

Here's some, replied L911, pointing to the horse's tracks at their feet. Can't be possible!" responded Noheuiiah, not in the least put out by the joke. "I say, what's that roaring

All listened, and distinctly heard a faint sullen roar which seemed to come lrom tho direction of the river.

I guess its tho river swelled by the late rains," said Len, and scattering out they commenced search ..g for tho trad. They worked gradually towards the river, the sullen roar momentarily increasing, till in a few minutes they stood at the brow of the bank, looking down upon tho angry, surging waters a hundred feet below.

Wai, I swan, tho Muskegon's high," Len remarked, watching it as it rolled along, "an' it's overllowed the fiat, surer'n blaswsl Look at the wood and trees tore up, an' lloatin' 'long. It's a regular freshet!"

It was even &o. The low flats along the river's edge were overflowed, and tho water wa^ now rushing and roaring along, bearing large quantities of drilt' wood—small trees torn up by tho roo^s, old decayed logs and stumps, all mixed togethe/in the most inextricable contusion, and carried along by tho impetuous rush of tne waves. The water was of a dark muddy hue', and our lri-r.d.s staod gating on Ihe scene for a moment, almost forgetful of their surroundings.

Beats all!" exclaimed Lon, at last. "Hain't this rain a booster, though? An' it's coinin' up all the while, too!"

Altt-r it Jew moments' dobat.?, tfco party again scattered out, and commenced hunting alon^ the brow of tho hill for some indication of the trail. The river was nearly hidden from view by the tops of tho tall trees growing below them, and the company started along, following tho course of the river to where the bink was lower, a hundred yards farther down.

Len was already Ahead, among the »bruih and Osawah, Stanley, and Nehemiah were iti company near the brow of the bank while Mr. Hamilton was farther back. Suddenly aloud shout from

Len attracted their attention it was repe.*.tcd, louder and higher than before, and in an excited voice, and the next moment a general rush was uiade lor the trapper's vicinity.

To be concluded next week.

BUYING A BRIDAL"TReSSY." One day last week a powerful yonng man, to whose right arm was linked a tall, thin girl of eighteen, with a sharp nose, pale blue eyes and hair the color of an old knife handle, entered a Lake avenue store with both eyes full of business. As the pair took seats a clerk intimated that he was ready to make bottom prioe on any goods in the store, from the finest silk to the glasie&t calico.

This is kinder deiscate business for us," replied the young man, casting sheep eyes at the girl.

That Is to say—that is—yes, ahem J" stammered the clerk. But I gums we'll live through it, Molly, and so here goes. What we

want is a trossy for this girl—a bridle trossy, I believe they call it." "That's exactly "what they call it," replied tho clerk, "and now tell me what articles you want and I'll give you the lowest figures."

The dsir looked at eRsh other in a half foolish way for about a minute, and then the girl hid her face behind a stack of goods.

A little skerry, but she'll git over it," mused the lover. "The first thing, I s'pose, is a dress." "From one to sixteen dresses, just as 3~ou like. You'll take black silk, perhaps?" "And perhaps I won't. There's no style about us, mister. We marry for lovo, and we've got to make a leetle money go a lone ways. Is calico purty lowt" Oh! Zekel!" gasped the girl, suddenly showing her face.

Well, we'll vo a leetle better, then, though calico is my motto. Hand us down something about 30 cents per yard. Give us dove color, lor doves are meek and lovely, and so is Mwlly."

Twelve yards of dove colored goods were cut off, and Zeke looked around and said "Less see,—I s'pose a tack comb, two yards of blue ribbon, a buncli of hairpins and two or three collars ought to fif ger in somewhere."

The clerk agreed, and tbey were figured in. Less see. She'll wear her sister's hat to stand up in, and her shoes won't show if sdie has a long dress ou. I guess that's about all, isn't it, Molly?"

The girl blushed very red, beckoned him closer, and after a minute he turned to the clerk and said 'It's kinder throwing money away, but she's purty good ana gentle, and 1 don't mind. She thinks she ought to have a fifty cent corset and two pairs of stockings."

The articles were brought, inspected, and placed with the "trossy," and nft«ithe lovers had held another consultation in whispers, Zeke observed "Well, that's all. Finger 'er up and lerc's your cash. We'vo got to go and git,. wiDiA hair oil, and a dollar gold .jhaiw with a locket io it, anu a pair ol d'cvo tf.iiiu and some shoe string-:", you see tho '.fit isiroingto squeey/i iii" d."

THE IMPOR TA NT UES TJON. Of all loathsome diseases Cntarili stands pre-eminent. It renders its vie tim as disgusting to himself as tooth ers. And the most humiliating of all is the consciousness that his presence is offensive to those around him. If any disease deserves the name of universal, it is this. Dietetic i-rrors and the follies which Fashion imposes upon us tend to faster and disseminate it. To thepit'fu" cry of its victims, is there any cure for Catarrh? there is but one answer consistent with Christian reason. (Jod has never sent one evil into tho world tor which he has not sent the remedy. For the greatest of all spiritual and mor.il evils, the Great Physician has prescri* ed a potent and never-failing rem- dy. lie has given explicit rule3 for the treatment and preservation of the spiritual and moral man, but he is silent in ail matters relating to tbe pnssical man. It would be an unwarrantable detraction from His beneficent character to suypose that He has afflicted the greater portion of humanity with an incurable disease. The day of plagues is past. The God of Christianity is a God of Love, oi Mercv, Kis rciessairn is "good will to all men." Tho earth and all contained therein was intuited by the great De signer to supply nmn's wants and surely lie has no greater wants thnn remedies for his infirmities Science ii rapidly proving that tho e^rth is fitted to supply niiin'st utt«imosD need.

VE6ETINE.

Tlio great success of Vegetine in curing such diseases as Scrofula, inherited in the blood, together with the increasing demand of the medicine, is conclusive evidence of its actual merit. No medicine was ever placed before the public with so much positive proof of its real value as the VEGETINE, which has cured many cases of Scrofula of live, ten and twenty years standinfr, where the patient has had many physicians, tried many of tho known remedies ami. after trying the VEOETIXE, tho common remark is,
