Roughgrove took her in his arms, and placing her softy at her brother's feet, bestowed a kiss upon her brow, and retired with Glenn to rest. Balmy spring Joe's curious dream He prepares to catch a fish Glenn William and Mary Joe's sudden and strange appearance La-u-na The trembling fawn The fishing sport The ducking frolic Sneak and the panther. It was now the first week in May.
If it be their determination to do us harm, their numbers will enable them to accomplish their purpose notwithstanding all the opposition we can offer," said Glenn. "There is no danger," said Roughgrove, endeavouring to extricate his arm from the grasp of Mary, who strenuously held him back. "I have a secret for thee, child," said Boone, beckoning the trembling girl to him. "Oh, what is it?
When Glenn finished his narrative, Roughgrove rose in silence, and producing a small Bible that he always carried about his person, read in a low, but distinct and impressive tone, several passages which were peculiarly applicable to the state of their feelings. Glenn then approached the couch where William slumbered peacefully.
"Watch close, and perhaps you will kill one yet from this loophole," said Boone, returning to his post, where the slow-match was exposed through the palisade near the ground; and Roughgrove stood by, holding a pistol, charged with powder only, in readiness to fire the train when Boone should give the word of command.
"William," said Roughgrove, "listen to a tale concerning thy birth and parentage, which I feel it to be my duty to unfold. Your sister has already learned the story from your friend, who sits beside her. But I will repeat it to all present. You who are the most interested can then determine whether it shall ever be disclosed to other ears.
The past was like a dream to him the present a bright vision the future a paradise! Glenn and Mary were seated together, regarding with impatience the brief preparations to embark. Boone, Roughgrove, Sneak, and Joe were busily engaged lading the vessel. Sneak had hastily brought thither his effects, and without a throe of regret abandoned his house for ever to the owls.
"That is Raven, the chief," remarked Roughgrove to Glenn, pointing to the one that first addressed them, and who was now conversing with Boone, whom he seemed to know, or to have been familiar with his character, from his animated gestures and the excited expression of his features. Sneak stood in silence, a convenient distance apart, apparently gleaning intelligence from the conference.
"No I was only blowing I got a little tired," said Joe, in scarce articulate tones. "And I feel weak very weak but it is with joy!" said Roughgrove. "And I have observed it, too," said Boone. "Get in the sled; we will pull you along till your strength returns." "I will be able to use my gun when I meet the foe," said the old man, getting into the sled.
The dark eyes of the girl assumed an unwonted lustre, and she turned imploringly to Mary, Glenn, and Roughgrove. "Oh!" cried William, in his native tongue, addressing his white friends; "let La-u-na dwell with us! She is as innocent as the lily by the brook, and as noble as a queen. Father," he continued, stepping forward and taking Roughgrove's hand, "you won't refuse my request!
"God be praised!" exclaimed Roughgrove, when returning animation was manifest. "Oh, I know you won't kill me! for pity's sake, spare me!" said Mary. "It is your father, my poor child!" said Roughgrove, pressing the girl to his heart. "It is! it is!" cried the happy girl, clinging rapturously to the old man's neck, and then, seizing the hands of the rest, she seemed to be half wild with delight.
