In the other range, precisely similar in construction, were quartered Ensign Ronayne and the surgeon Von Vottenberg, who each, however occupied but one apartment. The central and largest serving as their mess-room.
"Nay, do not imagine I have so much influence over the truant, as to compel him to the confessional," said Maria Heywood. "I assure you I am quite as much in the dark as any one present." "Come, Mr. Ronayne, recount your adventures," added Mrs. Headley.
"You will be the wife, as you have long been the friend and companion of your Ronayne answer me. Will you not?" Her head sank upon his shoulder, and the heaving of her bosom, as she gently returned his embrace, alone conveyed the assurance he desired. She was deeply affected.
Winnebeg, the bearer of confidential despatches, announcing the hostile disposition and acts of certain of the Winnebagoes, had not returned, and Waunangee, who, recovered from the fumes of the claret, had, in an earnest manner, expressed to Ronayne contrition for the liberty he had taken with Miss Heywood, had departed from the neighborhood, no one knew whither.
"I fear you have offended him, Maria. Oh! if you knew " "Ronayne dearest Harry!" interrupted his betrothed "I have never said anything of this before to you, because, after all, it is but an idle fancy, yet I cannot divest myself of the idea that this Indian, interesting and prepossessing as he is, is somehow or other connected with my future fate.

"It wants only a few minutes of guard-mounting, and by the time the men have fallen in, and the roll is called, the boat will be here. Where is Mr. Ronayne?"
"Yet understand me," resumed the other, "if you really think that there is a hope of its proving more than a mere wild goose chase, I will cheerfully incur that risk; but on my honor, Ronayne, I myself feel convinced that nothing you can do will avail." "Not another word on the subject," answered his friend; "here is what will banish all care, at least for the present."
