Max Kehmon, llio old hunter; al last Bellied down , within.the reach of civilization. In youth a voyager among the Canadians, in after life a trapper without society except llio occasional companionship of a few chance coiqradbs, ho was wholly wedded to a wild life, and inly pined when llio Infirmities of ago com* ( polled him to iiis kind, and wear social fellers.— There was another motive, as it seemed to others; Which however 'had little weight.wilit wanderings were • not solitary. For many ycart ho liad been accompanied by a beautiful, wild hearted girl, the sole offspring of the only marriage tint the free trapper liad ever contracted. People thought that as his daughter approached would naturally wish to givo her the ndvantonges of education and society. But he hud ho sUchthoughl. These things were of little Importance in his own views, or indeed in those of his daughter,, as he very well knew, but Max was too sensible not to feel that his natural life must soon terminate, and that the desert was not the most fitting home for on nnpro tcclcd, friendless girl. So ho. settled himself quietly as near the wilderness ns possible,* and became the oracle to all JoVers dlMlld fbrcst crofl—his nature better pleased with tiiis'amphibioqa life than if ho had existed in a wholly uncongenial element. Diane Herman inherited frpjnber mother, the diughlorof u Canadian voyogucr,j»oth a.name and llio roaming spirit of race. . Front thh days of earliest recollection, she had been, at her father's, aide on the wild pruirc or ranging over desert mountains, attd sometimes too her cotfrogc wo# tried In thfe hours of danger. The bold hunter delighted In nothing inoro than predatory skirmishes with the tndtdhs,- who on (heir purl were wont to acknowledge the debt with Interest. Once, with but two eottltades si his buck, lie was surrounded in his trapping lodge and forced la stand u week’s siege. Then the fear less conduct pf Diane, child as sho was, won from him a hunter's praise and fatherly pride. Yet, though without fear at the sight of bloody sho shud dered at its effusion. The brave girl, who so coura. gcoualy garrisoned one side of their little hut, was a true woman after all. That was a singular training which alio received; wondering over an Uninhabited country with a rndo’trappcr; shutout from education, and only taught to read and write by on accidental residence fur a few weeks at a Jesuit mission; with out means of refinement, having for tho language of her mind only what could bo learned from the voice of Nature in her deepest seclusions* This alio could understand vaguely, “nndUie licnrl of Uio nmlJcn Swelled and obeyed id power like the tremulous tides of Iho ocean.' ‘ f . Such was her. character when old Max K«rmon, exchanging his scmi.barbarisin for the holfclvilixa* tlon of a Western frontier, found as littlo difference between the old and now situations os might have been expected. In fine days ho hunted, In unpleasant he perched on a settle with his pipe slid told huge (itnrjcs of old adventures. Doolie and boob men were Contemptible in his eyes, and of course, were worth* less in her sight, for she had never known them, , She mingled but- little with those about her, and spent most of her leisure alone with her musings in somo favorite retreat. Long exposure to the sun had Veiled but not hidden her fair complexion,with a rich olive, and constant exercise had given firmness and elasticity to iler limbs. No wondof lllal-aho was tho bollo of tho village, oven though rarely sdon and still more rarely, addressed. Suitors came for her hand, and wore repulsed. Tho bold and adventurous she instinctively disliked for the coarseness wlilejj generally characterized them; a few of very different stamp who taught her, she did not lake the trouble fo notice, thinking them hardly worth the name of men. Of ibis luttor number, the moil prominent .was Jamci Charlton, n young lawyer who had just open, cd his office in the village. Kducalcd at an eastern university, naturally of a retired oust of mind, ho hud always avoided tho world and lived only with his books. In being obliged to fall back on then) for support, ho met the fato which usually attends men whom tho world does not understand. Bat a part only of his character had appeared., A liUlo Inter* courso with tho world would soon loach him to know and be known; after that his UlutiU weto a surd guaranty of success. In his eyes, the boautlftil forest girl was the ono whom philosophers always admired and vainly sought to find, 110 dolormlndd to bo more fortunate and obtain the reality .of the child.freshness, V'hilo they could only conceive tho ideal, Luckily bo saw hie deficiencies, and resolved to amend fttem, ■° that she could at least think of h|in, and after that “~hU sanguine nature imped tho rest. chapter ii. ... t M Ho Is a fool who strives not fur love and beauty.'’ • Old Max.Kerman suddenly look Jl into his head 1 ,was the proper ago for marriage, and tjluntly told his daughter so, who on her part rc.oolv,. jßil with a fooling {hat slio could Mafttkgd tlie bird always looked upon’atf a' litinouary evil which all al somo time maal.ondurp, and in her few dreams of the future husband destined for her self. Had pictured Him 1 as a bold, 1 Wild, flank hearted man, differing from her father only in years. All of this class whom she had hitherto known seemed to luck something—sho-could; hardlytell what—and tho, fact induced fears for her Happiness., However, she hoped for good fortune, and thought but little more on’ the subject The hunter was determined that none but a man after his own heart should possess his almost the only qualification, necessary according.to, his views wore strength and ability in manly, sports. Ho took no pains lo concent Ins determination; arid, it was surprising how suddenly such.gamcs:rpso in favor with (ho young men of the village and vicinity. Among so many.it was.somewhat difficult to distin guish tho foremost, and yielding to the general de sire, Max Kbrmon appointed a particular day for the contest, with the understanding that the victor should bo bricked by , his favor. Dianb protested, at. first ogainst the plan, but the old man. was.resolute, and she yielded.* If tlio,trull) must bo told, she too felt art interest in these proofs of manhood, am}, was quite willing to accept the viclorof tho day as her hasbandj provided.he wasnol too Tor below tho standard Her mind had fixed. •Atlas! tho day came; and with it .crowd of young men about him Max measured off thoground ofcon* test, and made every necessary arrangement; There were fair girls, too, et'lhc sccno—blooming Western damsels, drawn together by tho excitement of those rusty’ lists, or perhaps anxious to see whut favored one would bo removed from that very necessary class —beaux, Thdro was but two exercises, one of leap: ing and one of mere strength;’ Old Max-himself led off on the first, and grumbled .because hlastiffcncd limbs could not carry him beyond fourteen feel—four less, as he bltlcrly exclaimed, limn ho could leap id his youth; • Then came tho others, one by. one, and with different success. • Sumo fifteen feet, sumo six* teen, two seventeen, one' luckless boy but thirteen, and another more fortunate than tho rest—a’perfect Ajax In limb—reached seventeen and three-quarters; this settled (he .question, and all turned their alien* (ion to the second trial. Just then the young lawyer cnme iip and gazed upon the proceedings wlth quiel indifference. A bar was fastened firmly between two. .parallel posts full four feet above tha.roach of'anon from tho ground. Tho candidates were to leup up,catch with both hands, and then, after heavy weights.had been attached to (heir feet in this position, slowly, raise their'shoulders (ill they touched tho bar, then drop and hang by a single hand. Tho one, who could cling longest thus was the winner of tho wife. Few* or tried this ga me than tho other, for it required great strength, ond, besides, tho 'immense limbs of the former winner’ seemed to settle tho question. With the weights attached ho remained in the air S' isl twelve minutes—a third longer !lian J a'ny other ad done. Ho descended with an air of. triumph iat became a sneer when Charlton stepped forward and prepared for the ’spring. Max rubbed, his eyes, and Diane 1 herself .surveyed the young-lawyer tho roughly—a mark of interest alio had never before shown. Ho seemed powerfully formed, lliCngli by no means as largo In bu/k os bis chiefirival. Yet bvery limb appeared to be .in its projici’ place, and well set. With a light spring he gained the bar, raised him self with the weights attached till Ills breast touched it.'and (Hen hang motionless •without any apparent effort/ Nine, ten minutes passed'away, and he did not stir—twelve, and lie seemed to quiver slightly— thirteen; and lie drew his watch wilh a calm smile, saying,;- v., *‘ I suppose ll.Js ann'efcessafyTofmo io“fomnln licro any. longer. Will vomo;one unfasten the weights V * ‘ He dropped lightly down.' > ,- “Bravely done!" said Mai, “done like a man, my boy, but why didn't you try (ho loop?” Charlton marked the ground with o wary eye, and then fdse nimbly ffdm ihc starling place.' “ Higlit in his tracks !" cried tho old hunter; “ah f if you liad risen a little higher you would have struck two inches'ahead. No matter, tho 1 ; its enough to bo even with him on this, You beat him on the other as neatly as I ever saw anything done.*’ Notwithstanding his admiration of these proofs of Charlton's manliness, the old man seemed somewhat with the Jdeo of marrying his, daughter to a lawyer. The young man Whom u/iarllon had so eclipsed was evidently his firsl choice. Suddenly his fico brightened ns he (urbed lb tho rivals and said, Coiqe, boys, you're cVcjr mi jumping— have •a I'lllo rifle practice to settle that part Another trial. do'you no harm; Two shots each, remem ber." The Ajux briskly approved (his plan with q trium. pliant glance at Chariton. Ho well knew that tho young fawycf had not. reckoned on tins or ever train' ed, himself very particular!/ with the rifle. Tho other looked surprised and annoyed, but made no uiclcsd opposition. . • X pa'fntorf frolt was partly driven into a tree at long shot distance, as (he mark.

You aro.my friend-ntako her. All congratulated the lucky .victor. , Old Max shook Min warmly by thpt hand, and tho fair, prize beamed a sweet smile on lion fortunate winner. . The object for which ho hadisponl lung hours of painful labor was now gained, and ho culled himself a happy' man.' . : Fora month, he daily visited Ijop abode,and chat ted with tho old hunter, or more commonly ,walked out with tho daughter. Yet not a word die he speak of marriage, for, to confess tho. truth, though hfa.iovo had increased Charlton was disappointed, lie found even niord than ,ho had oxpqoted—a noble but un formed souli'lody thoughts but undirected and wan dering—bat closer views showed hint the fol|y of his Ideal.
