“Oorah!  Oorah!” and he danced a moment in uncontrollable joy.  Then he exclaimed:  “God bliss yer own swate self!” taking her in his brawny arms.  “God bliss you!  No ghost, but yer own swate self.  Oh, I feel like a blast of powder ready to go off!” And again he danced a singular commixture of the jig and cotillion, much to the Indian’s amazement, for he thought him crazy.  “I knew that I should look upon your face again; but, till me where it is yees have come from?” he finally subsided enough to ask.

Teddy was soon made to understand all that related to the return of the young wife.  When he learned that Mahogany, with whom he had so often drank and “hobnobbed,” was only the hunter disguised, who was thus plotting his crime, the Irishman’s astonishment can hardly be described.  He was irritated, also, at his own stupidity.  “That Teddy McFadden iver should have been so desaved by that rascal of purgatory!” he exclaimed; but, as the evil man had gone to the great tribunal above, there was no disposition, even in Teddy’s heart, to heap curses on his memory.

A few days more, and the three whites passed through the Indian village on their way to the Clearing.  The joy of the savages at the return of their sweet, pale-faced sister was manifested in many ways, and she once feared they would never allow her to leave them and go to her own humble home.  Finally, however, they reached the Clearing, and, as they walked side by side across it, opened the door and sat down within the cabin, and the fond mother took the darling boy in her lap, the wife and husband looked in each other’s faces with streaming eyes, and murmured “Thank God! thank God!”

THE END.
