Not there was uo

the

licate } | amid the roar whose pent-up sounded like rolling of | musketry. No death-ery fell upon ears; but for all that, we were t at the drama hed reached its ment; the untortunate trapper roasted alive!

Already the flames had passed over the spot where we had seen him—far beyond—leaving the ground charred and black behind them. Though the smoke hindered our view of the plain, we knew that the climax had passed: the hapless victim had succumbed; and it remained only to look tor among the smouldering ashes,

Up to this moment, Garey had stood in @ fixed attitude, silent and rigid as a statue. It was not hope that had held him thus spell-bound; he had _ enter- tained po such feeling from the first: It was rather a paralysis produced by despair. Now that the crisis was over, and he felt certain that his comrade had | perished, his muscles, so long held in tension, suddenly relaxed—his arms fell loosely to bis sides —the tears chased each other over his cheeks—his head reclined forward, aad in a hoarse, husky voice, he exclaimed :

“OQ! God o’ mercy, he’s rubbed out, rubbed out! We've seed-the last o’ poor Old Rube!

My sorrow, though perhaps not so keen as that of my companion, was, nevertheless, sufficievtly painful. I knew the earless trapper well—had been his associate under strange circumstances— amid scenes of danger that draws men’s hearts more closely together than any phrases of flattery or compliment. More than once have I seceuw him tried in the hour of peril ; and I knew that, notwith- | standing the wildness aud eccentricity of his character—of his crimes, I might add—his heart. ill-directed by early edu- cation, ill guided by after-association, was still rife with many virtues. Many proofs of this could I recall; and I econ. fess that a leeiing akin to friendship had grown up between myself and this singu- lar man.

and Rube the ties Loug and insepara- ble compavionship—years of participa- tion in a life of hardships and perils— like thoughts and habi udes —though perhaps dispositions, age and characters were a good deal unlike—all had com- bined to unite the two in a firm bond of frieudship. To use their own expres sive phrase, they *‘ froze” to each other. No wonder that the look, with which the young trapper regarded that black plain, was one of iudescribable anguish.

To his mournful speech, I_made no reply. What could { have said? | could not offer consolation. J was w eep- ing as well as he: my silence was but au assent to his sad soliloquy :

After a moment, he continued, his voice still tremulous with sorrow; **Come, comrade! It are no use our
