THE TRAPPER'S PERIL.
A LEGEND OF LAKE SUPERIOR.
by wm. n. ncsnwri-L.
CHAPTER I.
"Well !" exclaimed Le Sueur, abravv
ny Canadian trapper, as be drew his
canoe upon one cf the many little islands
that lie zqi.2 the northern shore of Lake
Superior, in the noon of a mid-summer
night a nipht f lorioas in that latitude,
when the "Strawberry moon" floats thro
the heavens like a misty" pearl in the
deepest azure of the ocean, "well, of
:11 the hair-bread;h escapes, I've ever
Lad, this whar ther nearrsuer the scalp.
I thiuk ther cusitd red-skins would have
cvertcck me, but, thank fortin, Ilod-d
ihcin among the inlands.. Jest as ef I
hadn't er right ter trap here as well as
them Ojibways ther brutes J I've done
it before, and I will do it agin, and no
thanks ter them neither and the hardy
and reckless frontier man bean to make
preparations for camping, 'with us much
nonchalance as if he had rot lately been
pursued by fifty savages, bent on his de-
w e m a
struction. x irst, fcowever, wita tne nab
iiual caution of all educated amonz such
scenes, and living ever amid danger, he
examined the island upon wLich he had
landed. It was low, rocky, and, except
nar the centre, uncovered by trees, tho'
there the larch, hembek and fir were m-
locked so as to be almost impassable.
Bending down as neai as possible to the
water, he searched, but vainly, for any
trace of his enemies. Nothing broke
the clear, glassy sheet of water. Dimly
he could see the distant m8in shore, and
no camp fires gleamed there. Satisfied
of this, he carefully lifted his canoe upon
thp smooth rocks, so that no crafty eye
could tell of his landing, and hid it in the
den:-e thichet. Thither, also, he clawled;
and, wearied and hungry as he was (for
in the hurry of escape he had lost his
rifle as well as his traps, and was wi'.hout
m?ans of procuring food, even if he had
dtred to do so, and the time permitted,)
he threw himself, upon the damp and
.ms-covered ground and was 6oon fast
locked in heavy slumber.
He lay thus calmly reposing until the
icg and falling with the tiny billows, he
cJlowed it to remain, while he again
scanned the dark besom of the mighty
lake. He could see nothing to arouse his
fears. Should he then go at once and
strive to procure sonc food, cf which he
now greatly felt the need I Better thus,
he thought, than to goto another of the
little islets, that arose shadowy and al
most unreal to the eye; and weaponless
S2.ve his knife, he set at once about it.
Long association with the red men and
severe expierence had taught him how to
sustain life, and even live luxuriantly,
where a city-bred roan rrouldhave starved
and the- pliant root the white pine
(the thread with which Indians unite
bark for their canoes) furnished him with
caeans of making snareii. A brace of
rewarded him, but still the greatest.difn
culty remained. He was cot rendered
sufficiently ravenous by hunger to relish
it raw, but should he light a fire for the
cooking, keen eyes would speedily see it
and compass his capture. A man of
many resources, he was, however, equal
to the task. First he found a hollow tree,
a giant birch that had braved the storms
of countless winters, and waved its gaunt
arms over the residue of the forest. Still
it reared its head a monarch, but decay
bad found its heart, and its skeleton form
was tottering to its fall. A natural chim
ney this ; and soon its mouth was scanti
ly filled with deadand perfeptly dry
branches, for .well he knew that they
emitted but little light, and light thin, al
most colorless smoke, while wet or green
ones sent forth black clouds, stainins the
sky, and to be seen for miles.
The fire built, flint, steel and dry moss
soon ignited it. The game was soon pre
pared, broiled upon the glowing coalsand
eaten with a zest that long fasting alone
can give, and an appetite that all the
boasted sauces of the land of vineyards
and song could never confer.
Hark ! Even while he was tearing
the succulent flesh from the slender brit
tle bones, a sound as of the sudden
snapping of dry twigs startles him, and
his fingers play nervously with the sharp
knife. Long a&d and inrUy he listens,
but it is not renewed.
"Rabbit.no Indian!'' he muttered to
himself, and again applies himself to his
meal.
It was now rapidly finished, for thr
inky chuids b-g-in to b streaked with
gray, and warningly fortold the time of
departure.
With the habitual recklessness of hi?
class who were wont to find food wher
ever hunger overtook them, whether on
the reeky heights of the mountain, amid
the tangled labyrinths of -the larch and
cedar swamps, by the little brook side or
upon the almost fathomless an 1 icy waters
of the lake he covered the fire with
dirt, so as to extinguish it, burying at
the same time the remnants of food, so
as to dtfy almost the closest scrutiny.
Then once more a careful searching of
the water.
"All clear ell still. The lazy copper
skins must have go; drunk on the little
whiskey I had in my flask, or else they
have got some other poar deyil in their
clutches."
Standing upon a little hill that sloped
gently down to where his canoe lay idly
rocking with the waves, he had thus com
muned with himself, when turning, he
saw, to his great surprise and horror,
that a dozn war-painted and fully-armed
savages were noiselessly advancing upon
him from the opposite shore. The bows
of some were raised, and the arrows
drawn to the head ; the rifles of others
at the shoulder, and keen eyes glancing
a'ong the slender tubes, while brawny
fingers were playing with the locks. All
had knife or tomahawk clutched within
their teeth, and a hundred deaths lay
within their power.
Quick as was the discovery, so sudden
alio was the movf ment of Le Seuer, a
roar of the flames as they swept the hol
low trunk of the mighty nee plainly
heard. Landing as silently as had teen
their coming, all waited mail further
plans should be carried out before they
revealed themselves. At the motion cf
the chief, a young "brave noiselessly
lowered, himself into the water, and swam
along the shore until he reached the canoe
of the feasting trapper. To rip the birch
covering into many pieces was the work
of an instant, and it was the swift pass
ing of the knife through the resinous
bark that startled Le Sueur, and which
he falsely attributed to the passing of a
rabbit.- - - ' -
The work of the Indian accomplished,
he returned to his waiting companions,
and by sign3 tcld of his success. Then
they prepared to advance ; the trapper
had also taken his station on the hill-top
and discovered them.
To float in the icy waters of Lake Su
perior, even the hottest summer day, is
speedy death. Well Le Sueur knew this;
but grasping the floating paddles, he still
swam rapidly towards the nearest island,!
believicg such a death preferable to the
lingering one of torture, which he knew
would fellow his capture. I3ut high
beating heart and strong will, limbs cast
in a mould of iron, sinews pliant as whip
cord and nerves firm as marble, are not
proof against the power of cold. With
ail his giant power he swam, and yet very
soon his flesh became purple ; hi3 strong,
set jaws trembled convulsively, and his
teeth clashed together. The ice-king
allowed none to bathe unpunished in his
chosen pool, and seizing upon the ex
tremities, was fast working his way thro'
the mysterious channels of life to-the
fountain-heul the heart to paralyze
the flood-gates and check the flow for
ever. Th ere was death around him oa ill
f ides, but not his the heart to yield. To
do and to dare, to never give up, 13 a
characteristic of such men, who, scorning
the restraints of civilization, make for
themselves houses in the wilderness, and
first follow tbe ever westering star that
will soon jukninate its civilisation, learn
ing and religion ; the forerunners they
of new states the hardy pioneers of a
nation's glory and a nation's wealth.
Slow, slower, and yet more slowly his
now half-paralyz-.d urms flung aside the
cue c? tlx ::k3. -
dark waters, and hia limbs lest their
swift, froi:-like fiu:T. The chains of the
ice-demon, forced in the Arctic fa.tiit'is-
es, wero flung around him, and the very
blood was congealing in the siiffcmd
veins. A year hence and his form, ice
petrified, may be thrown upon some sandy
beach to find an earthly grave; but until
then the waters shall sing.an unceasing
requiem above it.
One effort more the last giant effort
cf nature to battle against the doom of
he dark-winged augel of death and
the struggles of the trapper are over,
just as a canoe, laden with Indians, sleep
ing from the island he was striving to
reach swooped down like an eagle upon
him. for wiih the ceasing of hj$ feffor's
he had sunk like lead So the dark fiends,
that wait upon human misery, were sent
howling back in aDger at being robbed of
their prey. A motion of the paddle, and
the birchen wave-craule turned as upon a
pivot ; a strong hand sent a long.shafted
spear down deep into the tide; a dripping
and apparently lifeless form was drawn
up, lifted into the canoe, and, a3 if run
ning a race, the paddles flashed, and the
bark was driven ashore.
To be Continutd.
A Young can, the son cf a yrel-to-do poked the fire t:j
farmer, had the misfortune - to beccnis
deeply enamored of a young lady, end
after a brief courtship proposed and was
accepted. But what was his suprisg cne
evening when about entering th parlor
with th uncerirnonicus freed on cf a
young lo?er, at discovering his young
inamorata upen the sofa, hort arras, ar
round the neck cf a neighboring outh
and her lips in such blissful pzsxipity to
his as ta convince cur hero that matters
were fearful in earnest. In rsgs and
mortification he rushed horx.eward, arri
ving just in time to surprise his only sis
ter, the pious wife cf the village minister
squeezing to kill' a young disciple cf
Blackstcne. Nearley frantic at such un
locked fcr disclosure among people he
had believed but little lower than the an
gles, he made a bold mach for the barn
running directly upon his mother, kiss
ing the old family physician, who had sto
len a march upon her as she was looking
after the poultry This was too much,
and with a groan the young man turned
undiscovered, away, resolved to pass the
night with his grief beneath the stars
fearful of further revelations should he
venture beneath the shelter of another
roof, The morning encouraged him
however, and dew drenched aud sorrow
ful he sought his home, when his mother
with true maternal solicitude questioned
him as to the cause of his sad looks:
whereupon he related the inconstancy
of his fair betrothed, receiving in reply
the grtifying intelligence that she was a
good-for-nothing miserable huzzy, and
he must never speak to or notice her
again, one so wholly unworthy.
But mother' he continued falteringly,
that is not all.'
Not all? What can there be core!'
was the next question.
Why when I hastened home, what
should I find but my is:er, my goodley
sister in the arms of a rascally young law
yier. Your sister?' shrieked the outraged
mother, 4mj child? The ungrateful, wick
ed creature! Is it fur this I have given
her a home snd card for her husband
and chrildren? I will do it no longer; such
conduct is infamous and to be disgraced!
Sh thall leavfl to-day and never enter
pre."rcj again.
'But this is not the worst, mother.
No; the worst ! I can imagine nothing
worse, what can it be.
When si; k at.d discouraged by such
repeated exhibi'iona cf sin, I left the
home determined to pass the eight in
the barn, I there found riy mother kiss
ing old Dr. F.
You did ."
'I did.'
Well, never mind my son, they all
will do so.

Mr. M.. cf a certain town in Ver
mont, is not distinguished for liberality,
either of rurse cr opinion. His ruling
passion is a fear of bving cheated. The
loss, whether real or fancied, of a few
cents, would give him more pain than
the destruction of an entire navy. He
once bought a lare cake of tallow at a
country store, at ten cents a pjund. On
breaking it to pieces at home, it was
found to contain a large cavity. This he
considered a terrible disclosure of cupid
ity and fraud. He drove furiously back
to the store, entering in great excite
ment, bearing the tallow, and exclairn-
