The decision the old men, made in council. to prevent the shedding of blood, in which they fort:an these contentions would eventually end, struck terror into the Light of Heart, but it. soon gave place to a settled determina- tion to escape even at the peril of her life. Nearly two months had passed away, no tidings of any of the party had been received, and all things carefully and secretly prepared for her flight being ready, she only waited a fav«:-i'uble m0- mcnt to effect lici‘ purpose. The day previous to the time fixerl for their return, news was brought of march of the camp, and our liero~ inc Well know that she must effect but object that. night, or be con- signed to n fztto she loathed and ab horrcd.

But no infor- mation could be elicited which could furnish a clue to her disap pcarancc. All Were satisfied tlittt she ths in her tut at the hour of rest, but they had been too much cx-l cited at the return of the huntsmcn to think of her. The iii'ipctuous young warrior was not thus to be tliwratcd. A thought struck him at last and: he proceeded to the beach, where his quick eye soon diSCovcred the‘ abSonco of their lightest and best; birch canoe. He was no longer all a loss as to the route slic litid takcn.l Mucousc leaped into the nearest canoe and called Upon others to fol": low his example and ossiSt him in lllSi pursuit. But the jealousy they felt at his suc 'css, and the utter desola- tion in which lie was held, caused them to a man, to i‘cftise their aid. He was not, however, to be baffled by these difficulties; but with ex: emotions of defiance he pushed his canoe from the shore, and soon glided past the mouth of the river. Ten nilcs to the South West of Point on Barque, there is a second part stretching out into the Buy, al- most as singular in appearanceâ€"â€" calied bv the Canadians l’oin-t an Cliapeau. At this point about twenty feet from the mainland, a ,- liciglit of thirty toot, crowned by pines and a low growth of Spruce anti hemlock, which gives it at a distance the appeatancc of an im- mense liat,fi‘on'i which circun‘istunce it derives its name. Still further up the buy a third point presents itself ibircli of the Light of Heart. antiig‘ 'up the hay, the next point, we arrive at is ‘ Point on Chico, "â€"â€" low, but remarkable for the delight- ’ful forest of oak which covers it. seemineg set out by the practiced hand of the most systematic garâ€" dener; and for the dangerous rocky shoals extending for three quarters of a mile or more from the landâ€"~â€" A few miles above this point, Crooked River pours its waters into this boy. Updn the bank of this; stream, in a most lovely spot, the camp of the Saginqu was located. i doubt much whether there is a coast of equal distance which pro seiits such varied and singular sce- nery .is that of the Saginaw Bay. in some places it is truly beautiful, high and luxuriant in vegetationâ€"»~ in others low, marshy, and disagree- ublc. But to return to our story. The Light of Heart had, by a choice of canoes, proved herself a girl of discretion, for it glided swiftly, with little cxertiondlirougl‘i the water, and seemed scarce to touch the surface. Ere liorfliglit had been lisco'v'crcd, she had suc- ceeded in gaiiiiiiig,r SugarLotif Point. Finding :35 yet. none in pursuit, she felt that the distance between her and the camp was sufficient to se- rum: licr csmipe, and its her exertion during the night had sharpened her appetite, she landed, built a fire, and after prii'takit'ig o. n. hearty meal. and such repose as her fatigue dc- mandcd, she proceeded slowly on her way. in the incantimo, Mit- Cou as We have previously shown, had left the village in pursuit of the fugitive.

Two-thirds of the distance between the last llamth Point and Point an Borque had been passed, when Maâ€" couse again appeared at Chapeau. This nearer view of his person caused a shudder of horror to pass through the whole frame of the 1n- dian girl: for of all the young;r men she had seen during her captivity, she despised him the worst, and she know by the high antic propor- Li S: «.3 be none other whom she was doom- ed to serve. She bud but one hope, and that lay in tlic lightness of her canoe. Although Mucouse was fast gaining upon her she knew, if it were possible to get to leeward of Point on Bai'que reforc he came up escape Would be certain. She therefore made directly for the point, passing unharmed through over the bar, extending along the coast within half a mile oftlie snore, and which to an observer Would havo appeared impossible to weathor with such sea and in such a frail and fairyâ€"like vessel.

Hour after hour crept slowly on, as she anxiously looked for daylight, in hope the angry elements would cease their fury with its dawn, and she suffered to pursue her journey homcward. Site was doomed never ’to see the rising of the sun again; for with midnight came at intervals, as a temporary cessation of the storm would admit, what appeared to be the distant hayith of dogs.â€" .At first she imagined it might pro- cecd from the camp of some Sagi- naws in the neighborhood; but as the sound approached, her heart beat with pleasure at the thought that it ming be a party of warriors from her own tribe seeking venge- ance for the act of aggression above recorded. She cast her eyes in the direction from which the sound pro- ceeded, as if it were possible to pc- notrzite the darkness, in hopes of confirming her pleasing illusion. Nearer and nearer came the cry, and she was soon made sensible that her d roam of happiness was not real, and that she had only been rescued from a watery grave to endure greater anguish and torture. The discovery of her by the wolves (for from tlics animals the cry pro- ceedch appeared unexpected to them, and they set up a dreadful bowl of satisi‘iiction.

In this instance they had their victim in a situation which on- tirely prevented escape, and left the unfortunate indian girl but two ai- tcrntitivcsâ€"«eithm' to remain and be torn in pieces, or to pluth into the running: billow. The wolves, ap- parently afraid of treachery, ap- proached slowly and cautiously at first, but no sooner perceived her making},r for the ledges of rock,\vliich project over the abyss, than they closed upon her; several succeed- ing in getting in her front and cur- ling off her escape. Her eagerness to accomplish her object, prevented llCl' noticingr this movement, and ere she was aware she had rushed into their paws. With a stick she stretched the first two of her assail- ants dent. of. her feet,but the strength of their forces was too much for her exhausth state. A few moments more of desperate struggleâ€"«one heartâ€"tending shriek, and her spirit took its flight to the Happy Hunting Grounds. It is still asserted by some, that every stormv night, like the one on which she perished, her spirit may be seen citiiitciidiiig with those of wolvcsnnd with one such shriek the phantom vanishes. As to the re- mains of Mucouse, it is said they took, through his supernatural agency, the form of a. rock, which may be seen to this day by any one who will take the trouble to visit the spot, a little to the left of the table land. it much resembles a huge top with two points, and is known to voyagers by the name ofthc DEVIL’S Tor.
