Written For Toe Examiner.

THE CRUSOES OF PERCE,

{Concluded. }

This was glad tidings. All that day and the next passed in a fever of anticipation. Ona the third day a messenger arrived with a letter in @ mourning envelope. It was long before Captain Briston ceuld find courage to open it. When he did his worst fears were realized. These were the con- tents :

Dunport, Tuesday.

‘Dear friend, I boarded schooner El- lora the moment she arrived, and asked for the boya. The skipper, a sinister old scoundrel, refused to let me see them unless I would pay him salvage and passage money, all of which I promised. Then he sung out “send them stowaways aft !” when two ill-looking, ragged loafers of the wharf-rat species, about seventeen years of age, came hulking in, fellows who had stolen a boat and shipped on the schooner, The lan- gnage | used to old tar-pot was not choice, and I have a distinct recollection of men- tioning that if ever I met him on shore I would break his head. I am afraid, my/ dear friend, there is reason to fear for the| dear boys. But put your trust in Higher; than man. Hupe ever. They msy have) been picked up by sme other vessel.

Sharing your affliction, |

Smirn.” |

Three more days passed sorrewfully, and | still the search was continued. It was now! a week since the boys left home. Captain Briston gradually became convinced that’ his sons were dead. Return we to Perce. Walt, as became | the elder and manlier, was the firat to stop erying, but Reggie was the first to speak. | ‘Oh ! brother,” he sobbed, take me out of this.” **Hush ! little one,” said the elder lad, “don't speak, I’m thinking.” Aftera time he rose, and assisting his brother to rise, thes addressed him :

“Now, Reggie, be a man. Remember, what father says, that ‘there is nothing so! bad but it might be worse.’ We might) have been drowned,and yousee we're not. We, have only got to stay on this old rock till, to-morrow, and then somebody will come and take us off. We are not so badly off 8s Robinson Crusve was, you know. You do whatever I tell you. I'm the captain! and you are the crew. And the first thing we have got to do is to eat our supper. And the next thing is to look around for a’ comfortable boarding-place. Plenty of sleeping-room here, and the beds well aired but not very soft. Ha! ha!” “Ha! ha!” chimed Reggie, but not at) al] mirthfully.

The sun was setting, and our two cast- aways proceeded to walk carefully along the beach, from which the tall, grey cliffs sprang perpendicularly. No hope to climb at that place. The strip of uncovered ground at the base was rugged with bould- | ers that had fallen from above or been. washed up by storms on the lake. Care- | fully picking their way, they came upon a) cleft in the rock, cut as it might be a slice cut out of a cheese, or a little in shape of the letter S, filled in by debris washed down from the summit in the course of ages and now forming a slope of svil cov- ered with short, green turf. The lads made their way up the clett and found themselves out of sight of the lake and sheltered from the wind.

‘This bed,” said Walt, ‘‘seems aice and soft. Let us say our prayers and go to sleep here.”

The lads lay down, clasped in each others’ arms. As it grew late the air from the water became colder, and they nestled more closely together. Reggie, wearied out with fatigue and anxiety, soon fell asleep. Walt determined he would keep awake all night, but after a time became drowsy, and was dropping off when he was startled by a sound near them, something between a laugh and a scream ‘‘An owl,” he said; *‘but what any owl can be doing here I’m sure I don’t know,—or a loon, or some bird I'm not acquainted with.” Again he dropped off, waking every now and then by fits and starts, Once he thought he heard a “ hello!’ from the water, after a while repeated faintly from a distance. He fell asleep at length soundly in his brother's arms. When the boys awoke, cold and shivering, it was broad day.

What a field for philosophical speculation are events that nearly occur. You are searching the world over for a lost friend and he is in the railway compartment next to you. If you only knew. You have given the exhaustive thought of years to the development of a new motive power that would have revolutionized labor if you had only chanced to remember some seem ingly unimportant accessory. Jf is the greatest factor in men’s lives and in the histories of the ages. What an immortal poem would have been written,—what a

}

poet or artist had happened to have a pencil

‘*hello!” that Walter thought he heard in his sleep was the voice of his neighbors Blackett and Judkin sailing round the island, fisshing a Jantern and calling on his name.

When the youths had stamped about to warm themselves and had eaten a portion of the pie and an apple apiece, they found that with no very difficult climbing they could reach the summit of the islet which they found to be a bowl-like hollow surrounded by a rim of rocks. Thick cushions of soft moss grew in the crevices, of which material they collected a quantity and made themselves a bed, or rather a nest to creep into, as they determined to make the place their headquarters. Several little threads of water trickled, thus supplying « ficst want, and then with infinite labor they carried up from below pieces cf slab and driftwood, of which there was plenty, and kindled a fire with shavings they cut and ignited by us'ng a pocket knife asa steel and a strip of handkerchief rubbed with gunpowder from a cartrige of the lost musket. Then they erected another handkerchief on a pole aa) a flag of distress, but unfortuoately it} could only be seen from one point on the lake. Their fire was with great trouble kept burning, but they forgot that from the configuration of the place it could not be seen from the water.

The account of their sojourn on the desert isle was afterwards given by the castaways themselves. For-

tunately the water was deep near the shore and fish were plenty. Every day (excepting one day when it was stormy) they caught more or less of fish which they roasted in the ashes and washed down with water from the spring. The third day they manufactured a bow and arrows from a branch found on the shore, and, after in- numerable attempts, transfixed with an arrow one of the rock-pigeons that flew in and out of the clefts, but the bird jell over the chff and was lost. A bright idea struck Walter. Noticing that water-birds of the gull species constantly lit on one projecting rock, he baited his fishing hook and line with a piece of fish, and creeping out ta some risk, laid ths bait on the rock. In ten minutes they had hauled in a fine, fat gull, which they skinned—not plucked— and enjoyed it rosted. Next day they caught three or four more and could have taken agreat m.ry, for the gulls were easily gu'led -t reem-d ito teke no warn- ing from the !..« Jf their companions. But such food ana suv’) life were very different from the comforts of home. Five days passed inthis hard and cruel savagism. The poor lads were becoming weak and despendent.

On the sixth day of their solitude, about noon, Walter, who was gazing sorrowfully from the rocky rampart, uttered a shout of gladness, for he observed an Indian canoe with one man in it, that was passing wt a distancs suddenly change its course and make directly for the island, and when within hailing distance come to a stop. The fact is, the Indian's keen eye had dis- covered a smali, thin film of haze topping

{one of the peaks, and which he knew to be

smoke. A white man would most likely have failed to obssrve it or would have passed it by.

The shipwrecked youths scrambled down to the beach and out on the ledge exclaim- ing excitedly :

“Take us off, good brother ! take us eff ' we are the Briston boys—everybody knows Captain Briston—he will pay you as much as you like to ask. Take us off ! off!”

The Indian’s reply, uttered after what appeared a long time given to mental cal- culation, was :

“Fifty dollar.”

**Yes ! yes ! anything you like to ask.”

‘“‘Rum,” remarked the brave.

“Yes! yes!”

‘*Two gallon,” added he in the low affee- tionate tones of the Indian tongue.

“Yes! yes! Take us off !”

With two or three gracetul sweeps of the paddle the canoe swept to the ledge and the lads crawled in without remark or as- sistance from the canoeman, and then the arrowy boat shot swiftly across the bay.

{t seemed a long way w the land as they swept on in profound silence, but was in

Briston came running in to see what was the matter,

The gitls were 830 much excited they could give no explanation, but the ( hippewa was equal to the occasion :

“Me know you, Briston, old brave with game leg Me got ‘em boys. You got ram— fifty dollar. Square deal.”

Captain Briston was so overpowered he sank down for a moment on the nearest seat, await. ing the Iodian’s further news. That stolid brave had no further information to give, ex- cept that he had “‘got ‘em.” Hastily rego- tiating to hand over the compensation when the lost ones were restored, the Captain followed the grave stalk of the Indian to the beach, where lay a canoe.

Who can picture the father’s rapturous joy when he found his two brave lads again, Walt not much the worse, and Reggie, theugh very pale and thin, fairly recovered from his fever by the kind care of the Indian’s squaw, whose good offices you may be sure were not forgot+ ten. Still less can we paint the rapture of the invalid mother, who had become firmly con- vinced that her foved and only sons hed perished in their prime

It was the best day's work that Indien had ever done in the whole course of bis life. The gratitude of Capteia and Mrs, Briston and of the boys themselves was unbounded. Bat, truth to tell, their rescuer became something of a nuisance. He would turn up at the most unexpected times, and entrenching himself somewhere about the premises would waylay Captain Briston with **Briston, old brave with game leg, gi’ me some ram, You got ‘em boys now.” Not wishing to encourage vice, the Captain compounded for these demands for rum for a given subsidy in coin, but I am afraid it all went for the body-andesoul bestroying liquid.

As for our young friends, their adventure made them famous for a day, and they were spoken of in the preas as the Crusoes of Perce, Henrer Dovar

I doubt if whites as poor an squalid as these aborigines were would have taken in and watched and tended a sick boy, red or white, as did this good Indian woman.

On the twelth day after the boys had been lost a stalwart Indian of the Chippewa tribe stalked into Captain Bristow’s kitchen and, according to the wont of our red brothers, sat down without invitation. The farm hands were at dinner and handed their dusky visitor a steaming plate of victuals which he ate without remark ex- cept a satisfied “‘ugh!” Dinner over, the farm men left the house and there re- mained only the two women servants, stout Mary and blackeyed Lizzie

Our red friend smoked for a long time in solemn silence. Then he apoke :

“Got any rum ?”

‘*No, indeed,” said Mary indignantly.

Again the brother appealed to his pipe, bat after a sufficiently long lapse put a further question :

“Got any fifty dollar 7”

“IT wish I bad; 1 know what I would do with it. No fifty dollars here,” said Liazie the sprightly.

The Chippewa rose gravely, put his pipe in his pouch and proceeded towards the door, but, seemingly changing hie mind, resumed his seat and his pipe. At length he atolidiy drawled :
