The rangers, after a moment of specu- lation as to the designs of the trappers, resumed their attitudl } tigued as they were, even the cold ecouk not keep them awake. After a pause,the voice of Quackenboss could be heard, in proof that that heavy sleeper was at length aroused ; the rain falling spon his halt bald skull, had been more effective than the shouts and shak- ing of Garey. ‘* Hillo! Where’s my hat?” inquired he. in a mystified tone, at the same time | stirriug himself,and groping about among the rocks. ‘“ Where is my hat? Boys i did any 0 ye see anything e ahat, dx ye?” His shouts again awoke the sleepers. “© What sort of a hat, Lige?” inquired one brera. “Oh! a black hat ; no—I saw no black hat. * You darned Dutchman! who do you 7 expect could see a black hat such a night . . 9 ‘ as this, ora white one eyther’ Go to sleep!’ “Come boys,I dou’t want nove e’ your | nonsense: I want my hat. Who's got| ona my hat ? mo ‘Are you sure it was a black hat ? ; are = ‘‘ Bah ! the wind has carried it away. “Pe yar! Monsieur Quack’bosh—| votre chapeau grand—you great beeg at —est il perdo?—is loss ?—c’est vrai? Par djeu! les loups—ze wolfs have it carr'd avay—have it mange—est? cest | a vrai. ‘None o’ your gibberish, Frenchy. Have you got my hat ?”’ “Moi? votre chapeau grand! No, Monsieur Quack’bosh—vraiment je ne lai pas; pe gar, ne!” ‘Have you got it, Stanfield?” asked | the botanist, addressing himselt to a| Kentucky backwoodsman of that name. | “Dang yer hat! What shed I do wi | yer hat? I've got my own hat, and that’s hat eaough for me.” ** Have you my bat. Bill Black?” ** No,” was the prompt reply; “I’ve got neery hat but my own, and that ain’t black, I recken, ‘cept sich a night as this.” **T tell you what, Lige, eld fellow!) you lost your hat while you were ridin’) the mustang just now ; the hoss kicked i: off o' your head.” A chorus of laughter followed this sally, in the midst of which | Quackenboss could be heard? postro- phizing both his hat and his contrades in | ne very respectful terms. He cdbtinued | to scramble over the ground in vain search after the lost sombrezo, amidst the jokes and laughter, uttered at his ex- peuse. To this merriment of my followers I gave but little heed; my thoughts were intent on other things. My eyes were fixed upon that bright spot in the sky, | that had been pointed out by Rube; and my heart gladdened, as | perceived that it was every moment growing brighter and bigger. The rain still fell thick and fast ; but the edge of the cloud-curtain was slowly rising above the eastern hori- zon, as though drawn up by some in- visible hand. Should the movement continue, I felt confident that in a few minutes~ as Rube had predicted—the sky would be clear again, and the moon shining brightly as ever. These were joyous anticipations. At intervals I glanced toward the prairie, and I listened to catch some souud~-—either the voices of the trappers, or the tread of their returning footsteps. No such seunds could be heard. I was becoming ‘mpatient, when I per- ceived a sudden waif of light far out upon the plain. It seemed to be again <xtinguished, but in the same place, and the moment afier, appeared a small, steady flame, twinkling like a solitary star through the bluish mist of the rain. For a few seconds it remained fixed, and then commenced moving—as if carried low down along the surface of the ground. There was nothing mysterious about this lone light. To Quackepboss only it remained an unexplained apparition ; and he might have mistaken it for the fata morgane. The others had been awake when Rube and Garey took their departure, and easily recognized the lighted candle in the hands of the trappers. For some time the light appeared to move backwards aud forwards, turving at short distances, or as if borne iv irregular circles, or ip zigzag lines. We could perceive the sheen of water be- tween us and the flame, as though there was a pond, or perhaps a portion of the prairie, flooded by the rain. After awhile the light became fixed, and a sharp exclamation was heard across the plain. which all of us recog- nized as being in the voice of the trap- per Rube. Again the light was in motion—now flitting along more rapidly, as if carried in a straight line across the prairie. We followed it with eager eyes. We saw it was moving further and further away; and my companions hazarded the conjecture that the trappers had recover- ed the trail. This was soon verified by one of themselves ~ Gary—whose huge form, looming through the mist, was seen ap proaching the spot; and though the expression of his face could not be noted ia the darkness, his bearing betokened that he brought cheerful tidings.
