THE: lIV.IIiTER'S WIFE.
Tom Cooper was a fine specimen of the North
American trapper. Slightly but powerfully made,
with a hardy, weather-beaten, yet handsome face,
strong, indefatigable, and a crack shot, he Was
admirably adapted for h hunter's life. For many
years he knew not what it was to have a home,
but lived like the beasts he hunted—wandering
from one part of the cohntry to another in pursuit .
of gathe. All who knew Tom were much Bur-.
prised' where he came, with a pretty young wife,
to settle within three miles of a planter's farm.
Many pitied the poor young creature, who would
lead such &solitary life; while others said: "If
she was fool enough to, marry him, it was her
own lookout." For neaily_four months Tom re
mained at home. and emplOyed his time in mak
ing the old hut he had fixed on as their residence
more comfortable. He cleared and tilled a small
spot of land' around it, and Susan - began to hop?
that for her sake be would settle down quietly ,is
a squatter. But these visions of' happiness were
soon dispelled, for as soon as - the work was fin
ished he commenced:his old erratic mode of life.
and was often absent for weeks together, leaving
his wifr alone, yet 410 t unprotected, for since his
marriagebld Nero, a favorite hound, was alwa:is
left at little as her guardian. He was a noble
do —a cross between the old Scottish deerhodnd
and the bloodhound, and would hunt an Indian as
will as a deer or bear, which Tom said, "was a
proof Ingins was a sortof varmint, or why should.
the brute beast take to hunt 'cm Barra( like—him
that took no notice of white men "i
One clear, cold morning, about two years after
their marriage, Susan was awakened by a loud
crash, immediately followed by Nero's deep bay
ing. She recollected that she had shut him iu
the house as usual the night before. Supposing
that he had winded' some solitary wolf or bear
prowling about the hut, and effected his escape,
she took little notice of the circumstance. A tew
moments after came a shrill, wild cry, which
made her Wood run- cold. To spring from her
bed, throw on her clothes and rush from the hut,
was the work of a minute. She no longer doubt
ed what the hound was in pursuit of. Fearful
thoughts shut through her brain; she called wildly
on Nero, and to her joy he came dashing through
the thick underwood. As the dog drew nearer
she saw that he galloped heavily, and carried in
his month some large, dark creature. Her brain
reeled; she felt a cold and sickly shudder dart
through her limbs. But Susan was a hunter's
daughter, and all her life had been accustomed to
witness scenes of danger and, of liorror, and in
this school. had learned to subdue the,natural
tr
nudity. character. With a porful effort
she reetivered\berself, just as Nero Cropped at
her fortaNit-Wlndian child, apparently betweea
three and fourxears old. She bent down over
him, but there was no sound or motion; she plac
ed her hand on his little naked chest; the heart
had ceased to brit—he was dead! The deep
marks of the dog'sfaugs were visible on thineck,
but the body v.zueuntorn. Old Nero stood with
his large, bright eyes fixed on the face of his mis
tress, fawning on her, as if he expected to he
praised for what he had done, and seemed to won
der why she looked so terrified. But Susan spurn
ed him from her; and the fierce animal, who would
have pulled down an Indian as he would a deer,
crouched humbly at the young woman's feet.—
Susan carried the little boy gently in her arms to
the hut, and laid it on her own bed. Her first
impulse was to seize a loaded rifle that hung over
the fire place, and shoot the hound; and yet she
Could not do it, for in the lone life she led the
faithful animal seemed like a dear and valued
friend, who loved and watched over her, as if
aware of the precious charge entrusted to him.
She thought also of what her husband would say,
When on his return he should find his old compa
nion dead. To her he had ever shown nothing
but kindness, yet she feared as well as loved him,
for there was a fire in those dark eyes which told
of the deep, wild patsions hidden in his breast,
and she knew that the _lives of a whole tribe of
Indians Would be light in the balance against that
of his favorite hound.
Having securely fastened up Nero, Susan, with
a heavy heart, proceeded to examine the ground
around the hut. rlu several places she observed
the impression of a small inoccasoned . foot, bat
not li:child's. The tracks were deeply marked,
unlike Ike usual light, elastie tread of an Indian,
'Froth this circumstance Susan easily inferred
that the woman, had been-carrying her child when
attacked by. the dog. There was nothing to show
why she had come so near the hut; most proba.
lily the hopes of some petty plunderliad been the'
inducement. Susan did not dare to wander far
from home, fearing a band of Indians might be
in the neighborhood. She returned sorrowfully
to the hut, and employed herself in blocking up
the window, or rather the hole where the window
had been, for the powerful hound had in his leap
dashed out the entire frame and shattered It to
pieces. When this was finished, Susan dug a
grave, and in it laid the little Indian boy.. She
made it close to the hut, for she could not. bear
that wolves should devour those delicate limbs,
and she knew that there it would be safe. The
nextday Tom returned. lie had been very un
successful, and intended setting out again in a few
days in a different direction.
"Susan," he said, when he had heard her sad
story, "I wish you'd left the child where the dog
killed him. The squaw's nigh sartia to come
back a seekin' for the body, and it's a pity the
poor critter should bedisappointed. Besides the
Nina will be nigh sartin to put it down to us;
whereas if so be as they'd found the body 'poll
the spot maybe they'd understand as 'twits an ac
eidentlibe, for theyr'e uncommon cunning war
mants, though they hain't got sense like christ
ians."
"Why do you think the woman came here ?"
said Susan. "I never knew an Indian squaw so
near the hut before."
She fancied a dark shadow flitted across her
husband's brow. -He made no reply; and on her
repeating the question,said angrily—how should
lt. know I 'Twas as well to ask the bear's rea
ming- as litgin!s.
Toni only staid at hatne long enough to mend
the broken window, and plant a small spot of In
dian corm and then again set out, telling Susan
not to expect him for a month. "If that squaw
comes this way again," ho said, • "as maybe she
will, just put out any broken victuals you've got
for the poor critter; though maybe she weal
rove, for the Ingins be onkommon skeary."
Susan n ondered at his taking an interest in the
woman and often thought of that dark look she
had noticed, and of Vin's unwillingness to speak
on the subject:'_ She never knew that on his last
hunting expedition when hiding,some skins which
he intended to fetch op his return, he had obser
ved an Indian watching him. and abet him. with

On Tom's return to the spo the bo;ily was gone;
and in the soft, damp soil w the dark of an In
dian squaw's foot, And by ihi e side a little child's.
Ire was sorry then for the d d he lad done; he
thought of the grim of the poor - widow, and how
it would be possible for her to live until she could
reach her tribe, who were far distant, at the
foot of the Rocky Mountains; and now to feel
that 'through his means, too, she had lost her
child, put thoughts into his mind that had never
before found a place there. He thought thatone
God had formed the redman as well as the white
—of the souls of the many Indians hurried into
eternity by his unerring rifle; and they perhaps
werdmore fitted for their"happy hunting grounds' .
than for the white man's heaven. Iu this state
of mind, every word his wife had said to him
seemed a reproach, and be was glad again to be
alone in the forest with his rifle and his hounds.
The afternoon of the third day after Tom's de- -
parture, as Susan was sitting at work. she heard
something scratching and whining at tbe door.
Nero, Ir% ho aas by her 'side, evinced no signs, of
Unger, but ran to the door, showing his white
teeth, as ttiar his custom when pleased. Susan
unbarred it, when to - her astonishment the tWo
deerhounds her husband had taken with hint
wallo , d into the hut, looking wearied and soiled.
At first she thought Tom might have killed a deer
not far from home, and had brought her a fresh
supply of venison; but no one was there. She,
rushed from the hut, and soon, breathless and
terrified, reached , the , squatter's cabin. John
Wilson and his three sons were just returnettfrom
the clearings, when Susan ran into their com
fortable kitchen, her long black hair streaming on
her shoulders, and her wild azi blood-shot eyes,
gave her the appearance of a maniac. In a few
unconnected words she explained= ter them the
cause of her terror, and implored them to set off
immediately in search of her husband. It was in
vain they told her of the uselessness of going at
that time--of the impoisibility of following a trail
in the dark. , She said she would go herself; she
felt sure of finding him; and at Last they were
obliged to use force to prevent her leaving thd`
house. ;
The next morning at daylight, Wilson and his
two sons' ere - mounted, and ready to set out, in
tending to take Nero with them; bat nothing
could induce hint to leave his mistress, he resisted
passively for some time until one of the young
men attempted to pass a rope around his neck, to
draw hint away; then his forbearance vaniatied;•
be sprang on his tormentor, threw hint down, and
would have strangled him, if Susan had not been
present. 'Finding itrrnpossible to make Neio ac
company:them, they left without him, but hadnot
proceeded many miles before he and his mistress
were at their side. They begged Susan to..,re-,
turn, told her .of the hardships she must endure
and of the inconvenience she must be to them.
It was of no avail; she had but one answer: " I
am a hunter's daughter and a hunter's wife."
She told them that knowing how useful Nero
would be to them in their search, she had secret
ly taken a horse and followed them. "
The party rode first to Tom Cooper's hut, and
there having dismounted, leading their horses
through the forest, followed the trail, as only men
long accustomed to savage life can do. At night
they lay on the ground, covered with their thick
bear skin cloaks; for Susan only they heaped up
a bed of dry leaves, but she refused to occupy it,
saying it was her duty to bear the same hardships
they did. Ever since their departure she had
shown no sign - of sorrow. Although. slight and
delicately formed, she never appeared fatigued;
her whole soul was absorbed in one lunging desire
—to find her husband's body ; for from the first
she had abandoned the hope of ever finding him
in life. The desire supported her through every ,
thing- Early the next morning they were again
on the trail. About soon, as they were crossing
a small brook. the hound suddenly dashed away
from them and was lust in the thicket.. At first
they fancied they might have crossed . the track of
a deer or wolf; but a Mug mournful howl soon
told the sad truth; for not far from the brook lay
the faithful dog on the dead body of his master,
which was pierced to the heart by an Indian arrow.
The murderer -had mvpatently been - afraid to
approach on account of the dogs, for the body
vas left us it had fallen—not even the rifle was
gone. No sign of Indians could .be. discovered
save one small foot-print, whl . eli was pronounced
to be that of a squaw. Susan showed no grief at
the sight of the body; she maintained the same
forced calmness, and seemed comforted that it
was found. Old Wilson staid witlipherto remove
all that now remained of her darling husband,
and his two sons set out on the trail, w,bich soon
led them to the open prairie, where it was easily
traced through the tall thick grass. They con
tinued riding all that afternoon, and the next
morning by day-break were again on the track,
which they followed to the banks of a wide and
shallow stream. There they saw the reamiug of
tire. One of the brothers thrust his hand among
the ashes, which were still warm. They crossed
the river, and in the soft sand ou the opposite
hank saw a Kaki the print of a small moccasoned
footstep. Here they were at a loss: for the
rank prairie grass had been consumed by oue'of
those fearful fires so common in the prairies, and
in its stead grew soft, sweet herbage. where even
an Indian's eye could not observea trace. They
were on the point of abandoning the pursuit.
when Richard, the younger of the too, called his
brother's attention to Nero, who had of his own
accord left his mistress to accompany them, as
if be now understood what they were about.
The hound was trotting to and fru. with his
nose to the ground, at if endeavoring to pick out
a cold,seent. Edward laughed at his brother,
and pointed to the track of a deer that had come
to drink at the river. At last he agreed to fol.
low Nero, who was cantering slowly across the
the prairie. The paee gradually increased, until
on a spot where, the grass had grown more luxu
riantly than elsewhere, Nero threw nip his nose,
gave a deep bay and started Off at so furious a
pace, - that although well mounted, they had great
difficulty in keeping - up with him., He soon
brought them to the borders of another forest
where, finding it impossible to take their horses
further, they tethered them to a tree, mid set MI
011 foot. They lost sight of the hound, but still
from tune to time they heard his loud baying far
away. At last they fancied it sounded nearer in
stead of becoming less distinct; and of this they
were soon convinced. They still went on in the
direction whence the sound proceeded, until they
saw Nero sitting with his fore-paws against the
trunk of a tree, no longer mouthing like a well
trained hound, but like a fury. They
looked up in the tree, but could see nothing ; un
til Edward espied a large hollow about halt way
up the trunk. "I was right, you see," he said.
" After all, it is nothing hut 'a bear—but we may
as well shoot the brute that has, given us so roach
trouble."
They set to work immediately with their axes
to fell the tree. It began to totter,- when a dark
object they could not tell what in the• dim twi
light, crawled from its - place of concealment to
the extremity of a branch, thence sprung into
the next tree. Snatching Up their rifles they both
fired together, when to the astonishment, nwtedd,.
of a bear, a young Indian squaw;with it loud yell
tell to the' ground. - They rim to the FPot where
she lay motionless, and carried her to the bor
ders of the wood %%here they had dismounted.
Richard lifted her on his horse, and pringing him
sofinto the saddle, carried the almost lifeless
body before hint. The poorcreature never spoke.
Several tunes they stoppedi thinking she was
dead ; her pulse only told the spirit had not flown
from its earthly tenement.—Wheu they reached
the river which had been crossed by them before,
they washed the wounds, and sprinkled water un
her face. This appeared to revive her, and when
Richard again lifted-her in his arms to place her
on his horse, he fancied beard her mutter in
Iroquois one word—"rev e!" It was a strange
sight, these two powerful men tending so careful.
ly the being they had a few hours before sought-
to slay, and endeavoring to staunch the blood that
flowed,front the wounds which they had made.
Yet Wit was. It - would have appeared to them
a-sin to leave the Indian woman to die; yet they
felt no remorse at having inflicted the wound and
doubtless' would have been better pleased had it
been mortal; 'they would not have murdered a
wounded enemy, even an 'lndian warrior, still
less a squaw. The party continued their jour
ney until midnight, when they stopped to rest
their jaded horses. Having wrapped the stow
in then: bear skins, they lay down themselves
with no covering save the clothes they wore.
They were in no want of provision, as not know
ing when they might return, they had taken a
good supply of bred and dried venison, not
wishing to lose any precious timein seeking food
whilq on the trail. The brandy still remaining in
their flasks they preserved for the, use of their
captive. The evening of the following day they
reached the trapper's hut, where they were not
a little surprised tn find Susan. She told them
that althoUgh John Wilson had begged her to
live-S."oh them, she could not bear to tear the
spot where everything„ retuinded her ilfi;On.erfe
whilst She had Nero,
think' of whom was : het , enly cot solafibili Ara
she feared nothing. They
need not tell her their, mournful tale--Susan-al
ready andinitood it but too clearly. She begged
them to leave the Indian woman With her ‘i'You
have no one,' she said, "to tend and Watch her
as I can de, besides it is not right that-I should
lay such a burden on yon." 'Although unwilling
to-impose on her the painful task of nursing her
husband's murderess they could: not-but allow
that she was right, aid seeing how earnestly .she
desired it, at last commuted to leave the Indian
woman with her.
NO,
3,731.
For many long weeks Susan nursed her charge
tenderly as if she bad been her sister. At-first
she lay motionless, and rarely spoke; then she
grew delirious, and raved wildly. Susan fortu
nately could not understand what she said, but
often 'turned shudderingly away when the Indian
woman would strive to rise from- her bed, and
more her arms as if drawing a bow; or yellwild
iy and cower in terror beneath the clothes, reci
ting in her delirium the fearful scenes through
which she passed. By degrees reason returned;
she gradually got better, but seemed restless and
unhappy, and could not bear the sight of Nero.—
The first proof of returning reason she had shown
was to shriek in terror when he once accidently
followed his mistress into- the loom 'where she

and at the end of the second day the padtor of
the church came to see how the work progressed.
The old man stood by, smoking a short pipe, ad
the reverend gentleinen ran his eyeaover the tab
