I seized my ride and peered steadily into the
forest. Not a twig snapped. Twice did the
dog walk round the fire, lift his nose'into the
air,and whine. I did not know what to make
of it.‘ I was about 'to order him to be quiet,
when he started to his feet, tOok a step to-‘

to the ground. Quick as thought I turned,-
and there, Mr. Murray,” said John, speaking
in a low but steady voice, and pointing with
his brawny hand toward the east, “there,
just roundiu g that point, I saw a, sight which .
made my blood curdle. A boat, or what”
seemed to be a boat, was ~there,—a birch
canoe, curved up at either: end—and in it
sat a girl, or what seemed a girl, all clothed,
in White, and airy as a cloud. In her hand
she grasped a paddle, and her head was
turned as in the attitude of listening. Up to
the very margin of the water the canoe
came, and twice did that face, or what seem-

SO it was arranged; and, taking up our
paddles, we stepped into our boat and star-
ted for the rapids. In a moment we had
turned the point and shot out into the our-
little bay. The moon, the lake, the moun- rent, in which, Wi'h 1'"er strokes 0f the

which gathers like a pool at the mouth of

waters, from those who glided in skeleton

‘gszer’s sight amid the foam ond rocks be

“ ohn,” said I, as we sat looking down-'
ward, “it’s all clear ahead. Let her glide.”
“All right, ”replied John ; “the waters are
high, and we shall have a clean run of it.
The small rocks are covered, and the bould-
ers we can dodge. We will aim for the cen-
tre and let the current like us. I guess we
shall ride. fast enough. Only one thing be-

falls, which we must jump; but when you
hear the roar and see the smoke of Phantom
Falls, look well to your paddle and mind

them. Twenty-five feet are more than I care
to jump." . '
“Exactly my sentiment,” returned I. ‘lBut

Here the cOnversationo'Ceasedpand we sat
in silence—a silence so profound as to be al-
most painful. Ten,'tweniy, thirty minute's
passed, and nothingappeared. I grew im-
patient, incredulous. I even began to feel
that Iwould not like my friends to know
What a fad I was making of myself. “J ohn”
said I at length, taking out my watch, and
holding its face up to a bright beam of light
which had found its way through the dark
foliage overhead—“John, it' is five minutes
to twelve, and we have made fools of our-
selves long enough. I don’t, think the In-
dian girl will make her toilet under the falls
to-night, even if we should sit cramped up
here till moi-sing. Come, shove into th_e—”
A lOw moan, almost human in its piteous~
hcss, arose on the midnight air. Again the
bound, by a supernatural instinct, had di-
vinedthe approach of the spirit. I looked
,towards the camp. The dog sat on his
haunches, facing the lake, his nose lifted in-
to the air. Outlined as he was through the
fire, I could see the uneasy, tremulousness
of his body. ‘ He opened his mouth, and up
through the stillness swelled the saddest of
all sounds—the prolonged cry of a bound,
when, in .unknown grief, he wails out hi;
feelings. At the same instant I felt the boat
shake. Never did I obey the signal to be
on the watch more quickly. Never was]
'signalled before to look at such an Object.

as'it may with others, so it was with me in
that fearful moment. I knew that we must go
over the falls! I felt that John must make
the awful shoot._ I had more confidence in
him than in myself. As the boat spun
round upon the eddy, I seized advantage of
the current, and righting it, directed the bow
down stream. Then, calmly turning in my
seat, reversed my paddle, and holding it by
the blade, reached the staff to John. He

as I felt the boat jump. Hope rose with- every

flying toward the verge. No matter how
we struck provided our projection carried
its beyondthe deadily line of bubbles, and
.the suction inward. I held 'my breath, seiz-

either hand, and crouched low down for the
leap. The motion was frightful. My face
seemed to contract and sharpen under the
pressure of the 'air as I clove through it.

By this time the boathadru‘n'into a little

Rising to my feet, I. turned about so as to

“John, I do not doubt that you think you

“Mr. Mnrray,” whispered John, homely,»
Therc‘vvas something in his voice, and in
the quick motion or his hand as he thrust it
out toward the lake, which startled me.
Scarcely knowing why or what I ’was doing
, I turned and saw what was enough to quick-
an the blood in cooler veins. Within a hun-
dred feet of the beach on which I was then
standing was what seemed at least to be a
canoe, and in it a form sat, bent slightly for-
ward as in the act of “Om" v. A moment

you are. Now!"_- ' 5" _~ "' .
- At the word “Now 1” we lifted our paddles 1
and glanced like an .‘arrow down the slope.
Three times that day we ran the rapids,
and each time Without a mishap. Indeed, it
was not a difficult matter as the water was
very high‘; and as soon as we got accustom- ‘
ed to the extreme swiftness of the motion,
we found no difficulty at all in handling our
boat. The most trying spot waswhere we
had to run out of the current, to do Which it
was necccssary that the stroke of Our pad-
dles should be as one, and made with Our
united strength. ' _
“There," said John, as for the third time
we ranynder the bank, “I am not afi'aid to
run these rapids night or day,evsl ifchas‘ed
bya ghost. Come, let us. go and . soothe
falls," ~ 'I_ ..
7o Forcing our way through the underbrush,
weclambered dovin the bank, and, walking
out upon the shelving rock, stood where the
inistand spray fell on us. The bills were
some twenty-five feet high, perpendicular as
the face of a wall. ,L'l‘he edge of the rock
over- which the water rushed must have been
notched .Or chipped; for, starting from the
very rim » of the cataract, spouts of water
leaped into the air, and, falling in feathery
spray, formed a veil through which the dark
green (urgentmight be seen amitibll- behind
it. Incas: spot‘oaly did the cur-loam".

shadowy arm moved through the air, and
the formation Of ahand rested for a moment .
on the brow—as when one shields his eyes,
peering. into darkness—then sank upon the
paddle-staff, and the boat moved forward.
That motion rousedme. It startled John
also. All instant more and we had solved
the mystery. But even as our boat glided
out of'thc deepshadowghe apparition turn-
'ed her head full on us. I wonder we did not
stop. But, with the ghostly. face not fifty.
feet away, looking throughthe bright moon-
light steadily inio mine,- I gave a stroke
which bent my paddle. like a sword-blade
when you throw your weight suddenly upon
it. The deed was done. ' I Devil or saint,
spirit or, flesh, we had her! ‘ I thrust my
hand to grasp the garments of the girl. I
clutched the empty] air ; the girl was gone full
twenty yards away, and speeding toward
the point. Not thus were we to be eluded.
John had not missed his stroke, and, seizing
my paddle again, we sent our boat flying
over the surface of. the lake in hot pursuit.
Never, as Ibelieve, was boat of bark or cedar-
Sent faster over the water. Our paddles
were Of choicest ash, smooth as ivory, three
feet in ‘the‘ stafi and thirty. inches in the
blade, While the :shell that floated us barely ,
turned sixty pounds, with a bottom like pol-
ishedi‘swel, and so cork-like that balanced
carefully alt-stamp and stern, as it Was now,
seemed to to rest upon, rather than to part,
the water on which it sat; and as we cast
our utmost strength into our paddles as only
Joatmen can, the . lithe thing fairly flew,
while its delicate framework of ccdarroois
and paper like sides quivcred under the nor-
vous strokes from stem to stern. . Around
the point we rushed, pal-am and pursued.

Quicker and quicker jumped the boat, until
.the verge was reached, and, quiveriQ; like a
frightened fish, the shell, driven ,by what
seemed to be more than mortal strength,
, with a mighty leap sprang out into the air.
Sp nicely had long custom taught us to bal-
ance it, that keeping the inclination given it
by the current, it clove through the cloud of
rising mist, passing clean out of it before we
touched the water ; for even as we hung over
ithc abyss, I saw the deadly line was passed
and we were saved. The boat keeping the
angle of declination, struck the, water, and
went under like a pointed stake hurled fi'om
