BY EDWARD 8, ELLIS, It is a long, wearisome journey from Lake Athabasca, tho inland sea, in the heart of the land of silence and desolation, to Fort Garry, which I left many months previous. The re- turn journey is always immeasurably longer to the traveler, and there were terrible days when it was hard to be- lieve we were making any progress at all. But the hunters and trappers of the Hudson Bay company, during their years of training in the far north, become acoustomed to every experi- ence which can befall them. KFor days and wecks he will push forward on his snow shoes, never catching sight of a human being, unless it may be the frowsy Blackfoot or Assini- boine, whoee wigwam beside the frozen stream sends up the faint wreath of smoke, which tells where the miserable family are shivering over the half-dying embers within, He will burrow for months in some station or post on the shores in Hud- son bay, or along the margin of the Great Slave or the Great Bear, whose northern arm touches the Arctic cir- cle. There he will be content, with nothtng to read, with no news from the outer world, separated perhaps by 1,000 miles from his family, until the day comes for him to begin his al- most interminable journey to the southward, There is but one riyer which pours into the Arctic Ocean—the mighty Oor.

Established, « - 1866 ¢16Broadway, Council Bluffs, Mackenzie, through which the waters of Athabasca, Great Bear and Great Slave sweep into the frozen sea, Un- der the appalling rigors of the polar climate scarcely a glimpse of the cur- rent is ever seen. It stretches away to the northward, like a winding, tree- less plain, and is bridged from one sea- son to another by the orystalline hridge many feet in thickness, Mackenzie, Fraoklin, Bach, Richardson, Simpson, Rae and other dauntless explorers trudged through these desolate re- gions, on thefr vain march to the pole. Perhaps when fighting their way against the fierce tempest, and the blinding eddies of snow, they caught sight of a dim figure laboring resolute- ly forward, heedless of the awful cold which shriveled up many as it with intolerable heat, They knew he was a Hudson Bay trapper, who a few months liter would be hundreds of miles distant, still pushing through the terrific temptest in search of the glossy furs which bring him but a few shillings to send to his family across the ocean. On my return from Fort Ohippew- yan, on Lake Athabasca, I was accom- panied by an old Canadian trapper, Xavier, with whom I had had many thrilling hunts, We doubled on our own trail, as may be eaid, for the entire distance to Fort Garry. From the western arm of the lake we followed Athabaeca river to the forks, where it Main | makes an abrupt turn to the west. We proceeded almost due east along the Clearwater to Portage la Loche, then by Methy and Buffalo Lake to Isle a la Crosse, where we halted for several days, Then came a long and exhausting tramp, directly south, for more than 200 miles to Fort Carleton, where we were in the country of the Blackfeet. Then to the southeast, past the half-breed settlements on the Baskatchewan until we struck the mountainous section north of Qa’ Appelle river, known as Touchwocd Hils, We had been weeks on the road, and when Xavier said we were mnot much ba. yund the hali-way point a feeling of indescribable loneliness came over me. I began to doubt whether it was ever my fortune to step across the bouudary line again, But Xavier was always in high spirits, and, as there was plenty of timber and game, he ar- ranged for a camp of thres or four days. We were in the land of the As- giniboine, but 80 long as we remained in British America we were in no danger from avy wandering bauds of Indians, When the fierco warr paeses to the northward of iho forty ninth parallel he washes the hideous black paint from his face, sheds his war panoply as th it were anin- convenient ulste becomes simply a lazy vagrant, Even the tigrish Sit- ting Bull cesses to dream of scalps, and smokes his pipe and absorbs hia firewater iu front of his wigwam ‘like his brother red wmen so soon as they equat under the flag of hier majosty the queen, We had paescd several villages of Assinibones, but as 1 vizited a couple on my first, journey shrough the coun- try there was nothing to draw either ot us aside, Thelodges generally num.- ber from a dozen to twice that num- ber, aud are built beside some run- ning stream, The sight of these aboriginal structures, with the crossed tent poles protruding through the top, between which & thin, bluish wreath of smoke curls upwal&, and the canoes Dealers in Forelgn and Domestlc Exchange and bome securition, THE DAILY BYE- = { most ploturerque scenes encour |in British America.

McDonald complained that something was the matter with him, When we left York Factory he had queer ringing paius in his hoad, Heo thought nothing «f it and believed they would woar off ina short time, So thoy did, but soon returned and grow worse and worse, until when the diecover thata third party was near us, A sinewy Assiniboine had been attractod by the glare of our camp fire, and stealing oarefully forward, was making a cautious survey before joining us. His dusky face, with the long black hair straggling around it, the feathers sticking in several direc- tions therofrom, the heavy blanket gathered close about his “ears, the brawny shoulders and the rifls were all in rolief againat the starlit sky beyond, and formed a striking figure a8 he noiselessly rose from the snow, until he was olearly atamped bafore us, Although oulnfiel on the part of the aborigines of British America are soarcely known, yet I was scarod, as T would have been had I known it to be a whito man. The surroundings were such as to throw euepicion on any stranger approaching in that fashion, Xavier observed my startled look and wheeied like a cat, Ho and tho Assiniboine were within three yards ot each other, the Indinn standing erect, the Caucasian crouching with his hand on his knife ready to leap on the intruder should he prove an en- emy. The two remsined absolutely motionless for a fall half minute, Then the fire blazed out and tho glare showed the face of the Assiniboine more distinctly. Suddenly the iron countenance seemed to light up from within and he advanced, “‘How do, brudder?” he asked in broken English, striding through the snow aud offering his hand to Xavier, who uttered a joyous exclamation, caught the swarthy palm in his own, and ghook it with more cordiality than I ever saw him show anyone, “It ildWlnnk. a8 I live, I never expected to see you again!

Then Imade him a bed the best I could, and that was about all T could do for him, “‘You can understand what a fright- ful situation we we were in, MeDon. ald was sick vnto death and no phy- eiclan could be obtained. The neareat was hundreds of milos away; no sum would tempt one to visit a pationt on the horth branch of the Saskatchewan, and McDonald was too ill to'be moved.
