relieved of several leaden messengers, but was very weak. The Dwarf Destroyer gave vent to a stifled curse as he listened to the triumphant howls of the red hellions on the outside. T were making no attack, for they knew that the ing cabin must soon rout out concealed pale-f With a grim nod of his head, Old Anaconda ascend- ed into the loft, and took a peep out of the man-hole _ roof. : e glance satisfied him. The whole roof was in one blinding blaze—burning rapidly, fanned by a stiff breeze which had sprung up, and came bowling down from the north. Me returned to the ground floor, and once more glanced into the faces of hismen. Alarm was ex- pressed there, but the nae yet resolute and deter- m to the death. nen ton - be did?”’ old Alex. Watchman demand- ed, in his quiet manner, “ Stay here and stare death face to face, or make a rush?”’ ‘‘Neither. Listen! By all that's glorious, help is coming |” cried Hal Dayton, as the echo of a horn - came faintly to their ears. “God be praised, then, for it is true!” Old Ana- conda cried, om to a loophole and peering out toward the east. ‘“‘ Yonder comes a cavalcade of mounted Manitoba volunteers to our succor!’ The savages made the discovery about the same time as those inside the burning cabin, and advanc- ing abreast, in military style, prepared to open fire upon the horsemen, as soon as they came within range: But, forgetful of the rear, they made ‘an advance just far enough to expose their persons to the loop- oles’ ci Anaconda had been watching for this, and took advantage of it. 1 Every loophole on the eastern side of the cabin was manned, and, at a ee signal, a volley of lead- en death poured into the line of savages, mowing them down like before the scythe. At the same time there was a toot of a bugle, and oan mounted police charged forward, with speaking rifles. What could be the result? gle alternative—flight. With howls of defeat the savages scattered in ev- ery direction, and fled at the top of their speed. le Old Anaconda flung open the door, and the besieged pioneers—if so they might be called—all escaped into the open air, a a moment before the roof of the burning cabin fell in with a crash. The volunteers then rode up in triumph, and a gladsome welcome they received. Among them was James Dayton, the father of Hal, who, coming in search of his son, had enlisted the Manitobans in his service, together with a squad of picked scouts, and it turned out that they arrived upon the scene just in the nick of time. The defeat of the savages was so great that they fled from the neighborhood, not offering further molestation. | ela pe were made for an early departure from the region. Horses wits found in the forest belonging to the Indians, and appropriated, so that each person had a mount. They were ready to leave the vicinity of the burn- ing cabin, when a queer object was seen crossing the clearing, and the mysterious Demon of the For- est soon stood close at hand. Not long, however, for the huge grotesque head was seen to part in the back, and out rolled a hu- man body, doubled up like a ball, This unfolded, and in a moment more Sylvanus Dayton, the Magi- cian, stood upon his feet, and the Demon of the For- est was no more!. The whole secret of the Demon, amounted to the fact that Dayton was one of those ‘boneless’? wonders of the human race, and was able to roll himself into a ball, and get inside the Ww Head, which was PIADUbAChLree out of buf- falo hide, with artifical eyes and ears. These he worked from the inside, by the aid of his hands. . } ther reunion took place between the two long- sopereted brothers, which we have not space to relate in detail; then the whole party bade adieu to the wilds of the North-west, first, however, interring the body of Rachel Connors, near Old Anaconda's cabin, The Daytons ‘are now in Ottowa, and an equal division of the wealth between James and Sylvanus placed them forever above pecuniary want. el Eye lives with her step-father, and at no distant day will probably become the wife of Harry Reynolds, while Kitty Owen as the adopted daugh- ter of James Dayton, will no doubt in time wed Ha py Hal, Old Anaconda has wedded Wild Bird, and they live bs eg vogether in the North-west. Two trap- rs stop with them, occasionally, in the persons of ave Laamand Alex.
