THE TRAPPER'S PERU,.
A LEGEND OF LAKE SUPEPJOP..
BY VU, H. ECSnNELL.
CHAPTER IV.
Diilicuk indeed was it for either tie
savages to decide (now that they were
satisfied that the Indian girl was in the
power of the white inac) how an ex
change was to be made. La Frombois
would not of course trust himself in the
power of the Ojibways, and they would
not release the trapper and trust to his
honor to return, after they had treated
him so brutally. The guilty and treach
erous are always suspicious of others,
judging them, as they ever do, by their
own hearu. Perchance some conclusions
would speedily have been arrived at had
it not been that the false lover the Bul-
rushlhrew every obstacle that was POS
J
s.ble in the way ; even hinting, as broad
y as he dared, that it was of her own
free will that she was in the power of
La Frombois, who was well known to
many of the braves.
'My brothers know," he r.hispered
(especially in the ears of those who
deemed themselves slighted by Fire-Fly,)
"that the daughter of Leaping Thunder
ever scorned the love of the red man,
and was proua of even a passing notice
from one of a pale skin."
"You're tr jealous brute, onyhow," re
plied Le Sueur, who by chance heard the
remark, 'and I'd bet a dozen prime
beaver skins that she's fiung yer higher
nor a' kite. But sposin' the should take
a shine to Joe La Frombois, what cf it ?
He's worth a hull craft of fellers like
you, 'specially ef they come lyin' erbout
bein1 struck by lightning, when thar's
ther plain print of er rifle lock in yer
skulL"
The face cf the savage was distorted
with anger, and his finger played for a
moment with the handle of his knife;

different to words, to ply his yillany at
some more XaTorabLe time. Busily en
raged in this, he neglected to watch
others ; and soon Le Sueur found an op
portunity to communicate his suspicions to
the chief, Leaping Thtmder, proposing xl:
the same tirr that they two should take J
a canoe, coast down the shore, and .ndt
overtaking La Fromheis, should even go
so far as jSt. Mary, where he was certain j
NEBRASKA; THURSDAY, JULY, 14, 1864."
they would find" him and the girl, and an
exchange could be effected without danger
to either party, pledging himself not to
attempt to escape. This, after much ob
jection on the part of the Indian, was
agreed upon, and a secret watch was
placed upon A-puk-wa, so that in the
event of the tra'p'per's suspicions proving
true, ho would jeadily be found. The
spies were instructed to try all means to
ascertain the truth,,and use every effort
in their power to draw from hnv, .'confes
sions that would be fatal to him in the
event of a trial.
On a bright morning Leaping Thunder
and his late prisoner set sail. The canoe
danced gaily pn the sun-gilded waters of
the laku, and after many days it was
drawn ashore at the head of" the rapids
of Saint Mary. A portion of the tribe
of the Ojibwayt always residedthcre,
and tidings of ihe lost girl and the trap
per were soon learned. She was still a
prisonsr to La Frombois, but at the
house of a Frenchman who had married
an Indinn woman, and was well-treated
and apparently contented.
La Frombpis appeared quickly, when
summoned by his friend, and in a plain,
bluff manner, related the story cf his
striking down A-puk-wa in order to save
the life of Fire-Fly, and his carrying
her eff to make sure of the safety of his
friend. He did not know, he said, who
the Indian was, but the girl could tell ;
and together the two wended their way
to the rude shanty in which she had
found a. home. , .
The meeting of the father and daugh
ter was guarded, and exhibited but few
of the demonstrations of pleasure common
among their civilized brethren. Modest
ly, when questioned, the Indian girl re
lated all that had passed between her
and A-puk-wa the threat of death, the
raising of the weapon, the sudden ap
pearance and aid of the trapper, her
sinking insensible, waking therefrom in
the canoe; and the voyage down the lake.
"Ard he treated yer like a lady, didn'r
he?" asked Le Sueur. . . .
No answer was returned ; but the eyes
of Tire-Fly lit up -tvillila lighniug-likp
flash, and her hand drew a long, sharp
knife from the folds of her wampum sash.
It was a reply far better than words, and
one that none present could fail to under
stand. And now the exchange was made. On
the morrow the canoe of Leaping Thun
der would be turned homeward. With
a few earnest words he thanked La
Frombois for the kind treatment of his
daughter, and then added :
"Will the hentsrs of the pale-face re
turn to the wigwams of the Ojibways,
and loam how they punish one of their
own tribe when he has broken their laws ?
The red man will welcome them as
brothers. There will be peace between
them forever. The forest and the stream
will be open to them, and should n ene
my hunt them to death, even as the
snarling wolves hunt the stag of ten
antlers, the Ojibways will fight for them
as if they were red children of the Great
Manitou.
The chief had advanced as he spoke,
towards where the two white men were
standing, leaving his daughter somewhat
in the rear. Both cf the trappers were
undecided, when La Frombois, chancing
to look up, beheld'the form of the girl
bent eagerly forward, her lips half part
ed, as if in the act to speak, and her eyes
gleaming with a strange, pleading ex
pression. A new idea was born in his
brain a new pulse quickened to life in
his heart, and his resolution was taken
n an inst ant.
"Go ?" he answered, in a voice more
than usually mild,, "go? of course we
will. I don't owe that Bulrush, as you
call him, any grudge ; though ef I had
known as much erbout him as I do new,
I xecken he'd never have lived ter be
triedr Jest think cfer man T goin' ter
kill er woman, and such a pooly one,
too," and he glanced toward Fire-Fly
again. But if he had intended part of
the werds for her benefit alone, any
effect they might have had was beyond
his power of discernment, for she had
sunk to the floor, and sat with her head
hurried in her lap.
Pleasant was their re:urn. By easy
stages they travelled, cimping in the
most beautiful places, ani feasting upon
the varied spoils cf tjie forest and lake.
The first evening, the red man wassorze
what startled from his usual taciturn
mauner to see La JVombois erect a little
bower, covered securely with bark, and
carpeted deep with the odorous boughs cf
the fir, throwing ever them blankets and
skins. - It was a forest bed, perfumed.
soft, springy, and meet frr a queen, and
no wonder the Indian was startled from
his propriety by such an exhibition of
luxury.
i) It
i - r "I
NOW AND FOREVER,
"Does the pale-face sleep thus 1" he
a'ed of Le Sueur, who was by hiai side
enraged in securing the canoe?. "Is he
a sick squaw that the" earth or the rock
is not soft enough for him to rest upon?''
"It is for Fire-Fly," answered the
trapper, with a noiseless laugh.
Fcr Fire-fly !" and an uneasy feel
ing troubled the features of her father
a very shadow of a new, -undefined
fear. ; -. '
"Sartinly, Thunder; that' ther way
ther white men always take care' of ther
women. I know yer daughter don't
need it. and haint been used ter it; but
it's p. kjnd er compliment ter her sex,
and so don't say er word agin it."
Night after night thi3 was repeated ;
and by some strange chance it happen
ed that La Frombois was ever reliev
ing the Indian girl of the iarbor usually
performed on a "journey by one in her
condition ; sitting near her at their meals
helping her to the choicest fare
wandering with her in search of dry fu
el, and keeping guarp near her at night.
This, after the explanation cf Le Suer,
was little thought of by Leaping Thun
der. Ha fully believed the words of the
trapper; and now that his daughter was
safe, his mind, in accordance with his
nature, turned almost entirely towards
the punishment of the false-hearted, ly
ing A-puk-wa.' Even Le "Sueur paid lit
tle attention to it, until one morning he
saw that the chain and little gold cross
his friend usually wore around his neck,
was missing, and further search saw it,
as the girl was stoopiug over the fire,
glittering brightly ou her bosom. Then
his eyes were opened ; and though he
said nothing, and pretended to be blind
to all that was passing around him, he
indulged in many a silent, hearty laugh,
and managed, by every means in hj
power, to draw the chief away, and leave
the twain together unwatched. :
The canoes shot up the many raouih-
jed Kasmanistique, and their slender
prews rested cgainst the shore. Fire
Fly" departed silently to her wigwam, and
the two trappers were led by the chief
to his own as favored guests. It was
night when ?they arrived,- and soon the
stars glittered down upon tne feast cf
the White Dog, prepared expressly in
their honor. Dance a wild, uncouth
dance followed ; and then, as if by mag
ic the scene was changed, and where
swift feet had but now beat time upon
the hard ground, a captive stood, pinion
ed and awaiting his doom. It was A-puk-wa
!
Certain of death, he gloried in his
crime. Loud was his song, and boast
ful was he of his deeds as a warrior.
All this was listened to in silence ; but
soon his song changed, and he struck a
string that he intended should bring sor
row to the heart of the chief. It was
the last, spiteful hissing of the scorched
snake the final sting whose venom sho'd
linger and fester long after he had pas
sed away. A doubt first, then almost a
direct charge he made against the honor
of Fire Fly, coupling her name with that
La Frombois.
"Shame upon you!" burst from the lips
of the assembled braves, though they re
mained unmoved except Leaping Thun
der, who started to his feet, his form
trembling with ejepss cf his anger, and
his tomahawk whirling rapidly around
his head.
But not so camly the accused trapper
heard the words, linking him and the In
dian girl in shame. Le Sueur laid hold
of him as he started forward ; but he ex
erted his giant strength, and shook him
off as easily us the buffalo does the wolf
that would bar his angry way. .
"By Heaven I" he exclaimed, "unsay
those words, or I'll tear ther lyin tongue
out of yer mouth !"
"Tbe pale-face does well to defend her
whom he has ruined," was the taunting
reply of the prisoner. .
"It i3 false as hell !" and the trapper
dashed toward? where the other was
bound, knife in hand.
"The pale-face is a brave !" contin
ued the Indian. "When the red man is
free, he sneaks away and hides himself,
like a whipped dog, ia the bushes.
When Le i. bound and helpless, he is
boastful cf his courage like a j?quaw."
"Am I ?" and with th,? . rapidity cf
lightning, and before any one could in
terfere, he had cut the ihongs that had
bound A-puk-wa to the fatal post. "Am
I ?" Now you are frye. Give hira er
laiife, soma one, and see ef I don't cram
ther words down his ugly black throat.
But he was overpowered, and, though
raving with anger, was compelled by Le
Sueur and the warriors to keep still while
the prisoner ws.s. rebound. And then,
bsfcre the heart had time to throb, the'
form of A-puk-wa wa3 stuck full cf re
sinous splinters his tongue torn from
his mouth, and stamped into the dust,

and the flame rpirit had wrapped him ia
lis blanket cf fire!' A loud wheep of
defiance a startling, soul-affrighting
groan, and then tha ashes scattered to
the winds alone told cf what csce had
been a stalwort warrior
"His name will be fcrgcttea by the
tribe," said the old Medicine, as hs tur
ned away with the symbolic bird upozjhis
shoulder, and the serpent hissing almost
in his face ; and that was the end cf the
gre butchery and Indian punishment.
A few days cf repose, end the ever
restless spirits of tha trapped cculd no
longer b content with the monotonous
life of an Indian encampment. Le Sueur
was the first to be discontented, and to
make preparations for moving, and al
though his friend made no objection, yet
still he appeared disposed to linger. But
at length all was ready the two causes
were waiting in the stream ; the traps,
paddles and blankets had all been plac
ed therein, and evenLe Sueur wa3 seat
ed. Most cf the tribe 'stood watching on
the shore, wondering why they did riot
depart, and then La Frcmbois also step
ped into the slender bark. As if in des
peration he whirled the paddle above his
head, and striking it deep into the flash
in? waters of tha Kamanistiqus, the
boat shot from the shore with an arrow
like swiftness. The parting had been
onepf silence; but now that it was ap
parently over, a low, sweet, plaintive
voice broke it, startling ail, "Pity rze !
pity me!" ' '
All turned to see who wa.. thus callhig
upon a lover to pity her. and ca the very
brink knealed Fire-Fly, with bowed
head and clasped Lands.
Quickly as the swalluw turns open Us
strong wing, so whirled the canoe cf Ls
Frombois; and, before any could under
stand his meaning, he had lifted the sor
rowing girl in, pushed out again into the
stream, and was darting downwards to
wards the icy waters of the lake.
"Waono-win!" burst ' from many a
lip at the loss cf the beauty of the tribe ;
but the stern chitftain. her father, said
not a word.. -His -loved daughter had
left him for a nab-face had g' tia .to fill
tha wigwam cf a stranger ; and, although
he had premonition thai such would be
the case, yet, with ash-coverpd head and
blackened face, he grieved long and - si
lently, hid from all eyes.
When the fpring-time came again
when he saw his loved one and her pale
face husband return his heart rut on
the livery of gladness, and he breathed
a prayer that when their life canoes sho'd
be called upon to cross the fathomlesr
waters of the River cf Death, the To-wa-ke-ya-kaw
of the Great Spirit should
be open to them.
PETERSBURG.
Petersburg is a handsome city of from
eighteen to twenty thousand resident pop
ulation, in Dinwiddie county, Virginia,
on the right or South bank cf the Appo
matox river, at the crossing of the Great
Southern railroad twenty two miles south
of Richmond, and 10 miles from Jame
river at City Point. It is the third town
of Virginia in respect to population, and
possesses extensive facilities for busin
ess. Vessels of one hundred tons as
cend the river to the town and those of
larger size to W'alharns Landing, sir
miles below. The South Side railrcad
has its eastern terminus at this point,
and the Appomatox railroad connects it
with City Point, at the mouth oi the riv
er. The falls cf the Appcnjatox, which
arrest the ascent cf the tide immediate
ly above Petersburg, furnish extensive
water power. Around these '. falls a
cannal has been constructed, by which
means small boats ascend the river a
distance of one hundred miles. - The
limits of the borough included the decay
ed village cf Biauford, ia Prints George
county, which was puce superior to Pe
tersburg in some respects. The remains
cf its church are among the most inter
estingand picturesque views of Virginia.
Petersburg is lighted with gas and abun
dantly supplied with water from a reser
voir. It is weli built and naturally
drained, the ground descending grad
ually from the heights cn the soaihtrB
outskirts down to the river. The prin
cipal public buildings are the Custom
He use and Post Office, Court House,
Mechanic's Hall, Phoenix Hall and Pub
lic Library. There-are fiftj productive
cr: manufacturing establishments. The
sales of cotton ia 1561 amounted to 3-5,-CCO
bales. The receipts cf tobacco in
1S39 were twenty-six million pounds,
half of which was manufactured their ia
twenty factories.
"Humble as I am," said a bullying;
spcuter, "I still remember thai I am but
a fraction cf this magnificent republic";
"And a vulgar one at that,"'
stander.

in truth, eorne astonishment was created'
at the rapidity wi;h which La walked

ears that as a recommendation to purchas
