THE WAR-TRAIL!

CHAPTER LXXXIL

AN INJUN ON THE BACK TRACK,

We had advanced about a mile farther when eur scouts, who, as usual,

forward to reconnoitre, having ascended a swell of the prairie, were observed crouching behind some bushes that grew upon its crest. We all drew bridle to await the result of their reconpoisance.

The peculiar attitude in which they had placed themselves, the apparent |

earnestness with which they glance oa over the bushes, led us to believe that some object was before their eyes of more than common interest.

Soit proved. We had scarcely halted,

when they were seen to retire sudde suly | from the bushes, and rising erect, run at} full speed back down the. hill—-at the}

same time making si goals to us to con-}

ceal both our rselyes and our horses. there was timber near, and ina s w seconds, we had ail ridden

The pithy chapter of instructions above detailed, was delivered in far less time than it may take to read it. apeaker never paused till he the fiual emphatic shibboleth, which was ove of his favorite phrases of embellish- ment,

At the same instant, | saw just appear- ing above the crest of the ridge, the head and shoulders of a savage. In a few seconds more, the body was iu sight, and then thighs and legs, with a large piebald mustang between them. I need scarcely add, that the horse was goiug ata gallop. It is arare sight when a horse-Indian rides any other gvit.

There was only one. The scouts were sure of this. Beyond the swell stretched an open prairie, and if the Indian had had companions or followers, they would have been seen. He was alone.

What had brought him back upon the trail? Was he upon the scout? No— he was riding without thought, and without precaution. <A scout would have acted otherwise. He might have been a messenger, but whither bound? Surely the Indians had left no party in our rear !

Quick these isquiries passed among us, from mouth to mouth, and quick conjectures were offered in answer. The voyageur was the most probable solution.

** Pe gar! he go back for ze sheel.”

** Shield! what shield ?”

Ah! you no see’im. I see ‘im wis my eves—he was cache dans les herbes —von large sheel—bouchlier tres gros— tabrique from ze peau of de bufile, ze parfleche, et garni avec les scalps—frais et eanglants—scalps Mexicains. Mon dieu !”

The explanation was understood. Le Blane had observed a shield among the bushes where we had halted, like enough left behind by some of the braves. It was garnished with scalps— fresh Mexican scaips—like enough the

Indian had forgotten both his armor and !

his trophies. recover them.

He was on his way to Like evough.

There was no time either for farther talk or conjecture. The red horseman had reached the bottom of the hill, in ten seconds more he would be lazoed or shot.

Garey and I placed ourselves on opposite sides of the path—both with our lazoes coiled and ready. The trap- per was an adept in the use of this sin- gular weapov, and I too understood something of its manege. The trees were somewhat in our way, and would have prevented the proper winding ef it, but it was our ivtention to spur clear of the timber, the moment the Indian came within range, avd “rope” him on the run.

Rube crouched behind Garey, rifle in hand, and the rangers were also ready in case both the Jazoes and Rube’s rifle shenuld miss.

{t would not do to let the Indian either go on or go back. In either case he would report us. Should he pass the spot where we were, he would observe our tracks in a minute's time, eveu amidst the thousands of others, and would be certain to return by another route, Should he escape irom | us aod gallop back, still worse. He must vot be permisied wither to gy on or

For my part, I desired that the former

should be his destiny. I had no feeling of revenge to gratify by taking the life

of this red man, and had his capture not been absolutely neeessary to our own safety, I should willingly have let him come and go as ke listed.

In view of this knowing that they shall revenus, for tine the pubhe requirements end amply provide for every interest, the Aciministration, in pursuance of their policy of lightening the burdens of the peoyiec, have felt justified in repealing the erence Act.

‘The Government have, by every means in their power, fost ae agrict ilimre and stock- raising, 2s the leading industries of the Province, and they intend to continue increased encouragement in the same direction

It is much to be regretted that th meastires framed by the Ministry for the abolition of the Legislative Council, failed to meet the approval of a majority of that body. The Government have done every- thing they could accom pli sh to give effect to the wishes of the people as expressed at the last General Election ; and it is their in- tention to submit to the Legislature next Ses- sion measures providing for the constitution of one legislative body, and otherwiee calculated to reduce the cost of legislation.

ENTLEMEN,—I have been requested by a number of the Electors ef this District to offer myself as a candidaie for your suf- frages at the coming Election for the Local Legislature in oppesition to nominees of the present Government, and have accepted the nomination

The most important question at present affecting your interests, aud the interesis of the whole Island, is that of the proper prose- caution of our undoubtedly just claim to a share of the Fisbery Award, Jn my opinion the Government heve not taken adequate measures to press our demand, If elected I shall use every constitutional means to ob- tain a proper recognition of our rights on this question,

With regard to the administration of the finances of this Province, my views are that the strictest economy should be practised in every department, but at the same time due regard should be had to the efficiency ofail branches of the public services,

Another question which must soon be settled is that of the reduction of the now excessive cost of legislation, and, if elected by you, my best efforts will be directed to- wards effecting such a reform as will best check the lavish expenditure in this respect, Owing to the suddennes with which this Election has been forced upon the country, it will be impossible for me to make a thorough persona] canvass of the City and Royalty, and I therefore take this meang o° asking you for your votes
