After 'three days of provoking ill sue oess, we traced the fltrger's female ac complico to Cape Vincent, a paltry American village at the junction of the lake and the river. Ilere.she had mys teriously disappeared; neither the return rail nor the Canada ferry, nor any of the border steamers, had taken her a board; the conclusion of liallagan was prompt and sagacious—she had met the forger himself, and he had spirited her away.

Di' the meantime, the rogue attempted a third forgerylat Ogdensburg, filly miles distant, and the press teemed with complaints of the po lice system and of Ilallagan. It was on the twelfth day of our ad venture that the detective, sick of care and exposure, made over to me the boat and out fit. The Waterman rowed me at dawn to a cove within Wolf Island, the largestof the group; it was a lonely place, removed from either channel of the river, visible from neither mainland, and out of sight of every sail and habitation. I made fast my line at three hundred yards; the burnished bait skimmed the surface like a star; the rower never tired nor slackened, and before nine o'clock I had taken a score of pickerel, not one of which weighed less than six pounds. I was no s y reminded of breakfast ; the island was near at hand ; and as we pulled along the border to find a landing, a turn in the coast revealed a comfortable frame dwell ing set, against a ridge of thick timber, and flanked by a smooth beach. Smoke wirier] Ileum its Chimney, a boat bordered the strand, and a dog rose up and howl ed as our oars awakened him. Directly, a man and in woman appeared at the door; the former walked down to the skiff, and leaping into it, sculled rapidly away, with out saying a word. The woman received us shyly, but hospitably. She gave my man the use of fire and kettle; and whife he cleaned and prepared the - fish, I stroll ed into the yard to regard the establish ment. The wood grew tall and lorded close to the premises ; there scorned no approach but by the cove ; the dwelling was almost without furniture ; neither cattle, nor sheep, nor poultry inhabited the barns, and the only sounds to brea the general hu-h were those of wild birds careening oterhead, ur the waters plash ing upon the sands. A tore in the edge of the cedars br,ught. me to a path, which I pursued curiously till 1 stripped at the brink of a p.n, l or inlet, wheie a raft lay moored to the shoe. As sivail.tr chan nels environed the dwelling, I concluded that it sioodupon a suunll,separate and had for this reason escaped our pre vious notice. The woman was watching me from a window as I ,:cturoed. ._:he. was hatuhome, but not prepessesiting=a fine animal face, a little dissolute, per haps, and strangely out of place in this bLak, secluded country. She was indis posed to converse, admitted that she had lived here hut a little while,and at length, weary with ,;!/;,/,', took a yellow-covered novel from a shell, and read in uneasy silence, cy , in 1110 at intervals.

Revolving these things in my wind as I ate, I made a sec wid abortive attempt to en,:age madame s attention, and at last bade her good-bye. "Row we to the Canada shore," I said to the watcrtuan ; "we will spend it night with the British 1,i0n." 60 lauded at a hamlet near the city of Kingston, and proceeding to a tidy tav ern, stretched myself beneath a window, and essayed to read a newspaper. Dull ness and fatigue induced drowsiness 1 was half-way into a dream, when the en trance of somebody disturbed mo.

I waited no longer, but sum mohed my waterman; and, relieving each ot6r at the oars, we reached Cape Vin cent at dusk. It was not without re motse that I confided my discoveries to Ballagsn. I regretted that it had been my_destiny to make them. The law had its raidagents, of whom I was not one. My.meditations might not be soothed on bleA nights to come by the thought of a miSerahle man whom my officiousness had consigned to a cold prison cell. But now thai the facts were in my possession, it was.criminal to.withhold them. I laid them before the detective as he lay in bed, leaning his powerful head and neck upcjil a muscular arm, and his sthall secre tive eyes grew blank and expressionless, and he listened like one deaf. It was his professional way of denoting satisfac tion. "You must take the ferry to Kingston immediately," he said ; "I will dictate a telegram and a placard ; the one must be' dispatched, and the other printed at once upon your al ri cal. Write :" I took up pen and paper, and he out lined as follows : "To all Brandi officials and residents on the St. Lawrence : I, Pepin Petit, of Fort Elie, Canada West, have lost eight prime horses. The thief is known to be a malt, grizzle-haired, intelligent per son, ncar,tighted, and wcaring a gray coat ; was last Seen near Kingston, and is believed to dwell on or near - Wolf Js hind. I will pay a thou-and dollars for his detention ; he will doubtless attempt to land between Kingston and )lontical." I dropped the pen indignantly. "This is a lie, Haliagan said ; trick of your cralt ; I will have nothing to do with it." "1 place you under arrest :" thundered the giant, dashing away his coverlets. mml have notieed yOur squeamishness ; the law will hold you as an accomplice of the for ger; it is in your power to serve justice; you refuse ?"how will public opinion -brand and - confessed It. My companion was remorseless as a tiger. They paint Justice blind ; her ministers are all, too keen ; but this man had no heart, he could not comprehend a scru ple; he despised a sentiment or a fear; if his newborn babe had stood between himself_and Jules lim . grain, he would have trampled it down. I compared hint only to kbloodhnund at the end of the s:Tiit;' half-dead with fatigue as he was, his jaws were quiverinm;; time tracks of the game were fresh, time smell of blood was on his nostrils, lie was up and alert! That ni 4 hr the trains on the Grand Trunk Railway carried handbills to every river side village; the Canada shore was mrlosed against the forger as securely as the Americium shore had already been. Horse thieving was not less h_mineus than murder, where live stock constituted the sole riches of' a peo ple; they would watch for Jules Ingrain like savages nourishing a irmhwa. lie would have but three alternatives: to take to the forests, at the peril of being de soured by panthers; to drift upon the broad Ontario, and perish by storm or hun ger; or to follow the current of the river among the Thousand renowned Isles, dar ing the passage of the rapids, until over taking seine European vessel in the gulf, he might bid farewell to the New World. I slept little during the night, and sought, the quay ono hour before daybreak, that I might take the first ferry for Cape Vin cent. The steamer bad not-come in; and as the air was very cool, I resorted to the furnace of a tow boat just firing up along. side the wharf; the deck hands were all gathered at the windows, peering in the darkness towards the American shore. What aro you expecting, boys? asked " The asliohiashun fur the .pertektion of property in hoses," said a grimy eo• gineor, "has gone off to the island to burn otit a boss-thief.

They were in tended to inflame public sentiment, and related certain fables of Ingram's feats at running stock out of the colony. On the same night, every fireside from Toronto to Quebec was made acquainted with the fugitive's personnel. Vengeance was sworn against him wherever two boors met together. The farmer in the field kept one eye ever open upon the river; each canoe, barge, smack and steamer, was subjected to espionage; the whole fron tier was hunting down one man. We knew that he was adrift in his bateau, for now and then somebody would espy him for an instant gliding along the edges of bluffs, or sculling through fields of ma ' rine-grass, or vanishing behind a woody cape of island. Thrice he 'attempted to land, but the country-ft 1k drove him back with execrations. The dairy-maid would not give him a cup of milk ; the Indian refused him bread and fire ; once some lit tle children turned his boat adrift, but he • swam astrelmn and recorded it. Thu., friendless, hungry, and at bay, he moved forever northward towards the cold gulf, till, having entered the romantic territory of the "Thousand Isles,'' we lost all tra ces of him. Our voyage through this most picturesque of archipelagoes was rendered thrice entrancing by the adven ture which had developed it. There are said to be literally a thousand islands chts tering in the brOad neck Or estuary of the St. Lawrence Many of thee• can scarce ly afford foothold to a bird; others sup port a single miniature tree; some sustain huge masses of rock, piled in eccentric forms, and holding in their crevices the palms of climbing vines; a few are large and heavy with turf and woodland, and all are verdant as spring. A voyage a mong them is like the reading of a poem or the passing of a dream; ono seems to be far ;AWL in a balloon, gazing at the di minished land and sea; for were there but little folk to inhabit these ping}- con timents, we should have Liliputia indeed. Here, in the winter, the drift ice heaps up crags and monuments, and the floes and crush up in Kammer, as if they would bear the Thousand Isles away to their Arctic home ; the wild birds bring forth their young upon the surface; the cold spawn of the fishes grows warm and vital beneath ; the striped and spotted snake lies among their debris, charming the sparrow and the blue jay ; and the wolf passing from land to land, halts here in the dead midnight to howl. Not a human being tenants the Thousand Isles ; they are sprinkled here in wondr Jus irreg ularity ; the d._,ep river winds in and out among them as it' lost or tarrying ; and the tourist passing by is reminded of some tableau in the hielodrarna, too beautiful and unexpected to be real. In pursuit of [grant, we explored ev ery islet of this region. We found a gun• dred traces of him, fur he was forever flitting to and fro—now the embers of his fire, now the echo of his rifle, now the re port of sonic alarmed fisherman, whom the fugitive had p issed lik 3 an apparition. One day at sunset we haw him—a ragged haggard, hatless being, standing upon a rock scarcely larger than a man's hand, with the waters.ohurning around him, and Lois bmeau at his feet. lie was sharply outlined against the red sky, and he stood in an attitude of despair, leaning wearily upon his rifle. I thought of the Wander ing Jew, or the last Indian of his race, halting on the brink of the Pacific. Sud denly he beheld us; gnashing his teeth, and lifting' his clenched hand, lie leaped into his vessel, and sculled away like the wind; we lost him in the darkness; and saw him no more fur many days. Two weeks had now been consumed in this singular pursuit. At last, Ballagan became troubled and doubtful. It Was possible for Ingram, changing his position every night, to loud us upon a wild chase for a year. Ile could plunder barns and river craft for nourishment, and fish and game were plentiful. Desperate, in view of ihe penalty of his offence, wo know that roving among those green islands was oonsenant with his adventurous nature. Fresh from five years' entombment in the jail, and hopeful of guilty gain, he would leave no artifice untried to retain his lib erty; and Ballagan feared that,he would surrender himself to the Canadian author ities, when . t4cleVicii of Mr: Pepin Pet• it, might be manifest,. Ono,dey, at Ales.- Andrie Bay, we received a dispatch from a station far down the river; Jules In gram. had been seen near the 'head of the First Ranirf; he had foiled US; and with . • • along Start,, was Making hie. way : ; yigor ously toiyarde.the„ciulf Bt, Awrprico.

Ballagan up and down the cold prome nade deck, listening to the roar of the waters, I wearied of his impatience and retired so my sumptuous state-room. : was soundly dreaming; my heart was back among the• Thousand Tides, and our wild search was all forgotten, when raps upon my chamber door brought me to my feet. It was Ballagan, and I knew by his blank, sphinx-like countenance that something was to ensue. "Come out at once," he said, in deep unimpassioned monotone. " Help me to launch the boat ; you are to go on the water with me. No flinching 1 or, by the Great American Eagle, your life isn't worth a rushlight." A premonition of danger crept coldly upon me; I knew that he saw me falter, but I did not speak. I marked 'in the gray dawn from the windy deck the aw ful surging of the rapids, tossing their foamy hairs into the sky, blending their sprays in white cataracts of mist, and dashing upon black rocks, imperfectly re vealed, as if meaning to wrest them froin their everlasting bases. The whole wide St. Lawrence was a fierce, tumultuous tor rent, boiling„ and churning, and clamor ing The boles of some huge tree were passing down the current; and I marvel ed to see them tossed aloft like reeds,:the waters catching them as they fell again, and hurling them high into the air, till, passing from cascade to cascade, they emerged at last a miie below, bruised, and scarred, and broken. Of what advan tage would be a man's strength struggling with such an clement? I'haroah and his host, with all Egypt at their back, might have gone down in a twinkling there.— Traditions " existed of Indian hunters whose skilled hands had guided the canoe through the same flood, but no living Twin had dared the experiment. Huge steamers went down shivering, and some had been torn into splinters, while sailing craft of all descriptions made the detour by canal. "Do you see something stealin,g along the margin yonder ?" said B dlagan 'to rue. "I Lave remarked it loran hour." I took his proffered glass and recog nized distinctly an approaching bateau, and a wild li.lure in a gray coat sculling in the stern. It was Jules Ingram. Ile was malting energetically fur the Canada shore, for he seemed to have an intuition of his proximity to the rapids ; and aver and anon, as he advanced, his face was turned to re,!ard the steamer distrustfully. "Crouch here by the gunwale," said Ballagan, 'when I give the word, run out the lines of the I atenu. I shall have the oars ; take you my rifle in the bow. Be cool and steady, and obey my orders " No soul was astir upon the vessel : we watched the guilty man with our hearts in our eyes. It required no effort of his to drive the bateau toward us, fur the velocity of the current impelled it at rac ing pace At each instant the dawn grew brighter ; at each instant the victim drew nearer. We marked him with - the naked eye, at length—a face like that of a wild beast, half furtive, half ferocious, and gaunt with hunger and anxiety ; his griz zle hairs, uncovered, shaded his savage beard, and his inflamed eyes glared cav ernously from their dark, deep sockets; his clothes were rent and stained ; his feet were scarred and bare ; yet with all this wretchedness, the attitude of •th© man Was that of pride and defiance ; it was the con sciousness of deserved misery, for which .he could not apologize, and which he had determined to endure. The wharf to which wc‘were moored kept him out of view of the rapids till he had drifted directly beneath us, and then the _,danger broke suddenly upon him. Ile seemed stricken dumb, and the oar quivered in his fingers. At the same moment, Ball,gan called out to me to loose my line. The boat dropped like a bolt, we clambered down as hastily. The do teotivo seized the scull, while I crouched with the rite at the bow, and pushing away in a trice, we had almost collided with Ingram's vessel before be was well aware of our presence. It was a pause of a second: The wretch give one fierce glance at the shore, the steamer and the cataract, and then with the impulse of despair, struck od boldly for tho rapids He had not the strength of Baliaga'n, but he was a better hand with the - oitr.

"Do not fro, boy l" cried Ballagan, be tween his teeth; "I will,take' him alive.' or die with him I" On, and on we galloped the two :oars men with black faces wrenehing-tkelwat ersapart, and I could hear the hard breathing of both-till the roar of the river 'absorbed all sound ' , So quickly ran my thought that tlikened the noise of the waters to human speech, they seemed to be shrieking : "Drowned, drowned, drown ed l" and the cry rang out so sonorously thrilling that I caught myself repeating it. ' I wondered if each drop of water had not identity, and the waves a community of intelligence, and every cataract a like ambition, and that ambition now my death ? Still I saw everthing. There was a rocky island covered with trees, just in the edge of the rapids; that was our last salvation : if the boat passed, it by there was nothing loft for hope. Al ready the spray was lapping us ; the wa ters were hearse and thirsty ; I looked at Ballagan with dry, mute eyes, an 4 saw no mercy there. NO. 39: "Pray, boy," be saidlL"pray fpr us both, and hold fast I am going down the flood." The Island passed us at a wink. I felt the boat lifted bodily, and the earth seemed to leap up and crush itas fell. Again we vaulted aloft, so far that in the terror•of tho end I had time to note on' the crowded decks of the steator ono Woman praying with clasped hands, and another who had swooned ; the planks of the bateau were bent like withes of straw, the wav , :is gushed from stem to stern ; I was lifted from my feet--and--hurled -a - , gainst Ballagan, but he stood at the oar like a rock ; I saw through my drenche' eyes the forger as rigidly fixed ; his ves sel moved like a winged thing, rather of the air than of the element; and even in this time of despair, his face Was dark and haughty. Something stood amid-stream as I gazed—black, jagged rooks, and we were hurled upon them. The craft seem ed crunching to atoms as we struck; it it rose vertically, and the foam gushed in at the bow. I knew that this was all. Once more I marked the white waste of waves, the vanishing islands, the flitting banks_and trees and dwellings . ; and, As a soft vision of home blinded my wet eyes, I called upon the name of One mighty to save and clutched the cold planks, and knew no more. — A - thunderbolt apparently awakened me, and a terrible weight was pressing upon my chest. I was lying in the bot tom of the boat, now half-full of water, and l3allagan was hold ing me fast with his foot. I could scarcely see his faco for smoke ; but a moment revealed' him, standing grimly erect, with the rifle at his shoulder. "Rise !" he said, releasing me ; we are fast sinking. Bear a hand with the oar, and give me place in the bow." 1 staggered up tremblingly ; we had passed the rapids ; they were churning begind ; the felon glided on before, but 1 marked that the scull was splin tered in his fingers, and he was wring ing his hands in pain ; the bullet of the detective had broken his oar fairly at the junction of shaft and paddle, and his arms were palsied by the shuck. In a twink ling he leaped fur •the seoond oar, but ere lie could employ it the bateaux collided, and, ho met Ballegan at the gunwale knife in hand. The detective, clubbing his rifle, struck him a powerful bloi, which stretched him prostrate like a dead MEM The hunt was over; the folon was oap• tive at last, and as we headed his launch for the shore, our own wont down in ten fathom water. We landed upon the southern bank of the St. Lawrence ; and Ballangan, with his usual promptness, decided to under. , take the wild passage of the adjacent-rot est, in preference to returning by steam er, with the . prospect of trouble from provinoicl officials.
