WARE’S HUNTING PARTY. leaves From His Cousin Sally’s Diary. • BY MAltY E. MOFFAT. Feb. 3, 18—-. Glenvillo seems like a different place since Cousin-Ware lias been away. I wish he hud not taken it into that curly head of his to; go hunting in mid-winter, aud to coax off all the available beaux who might have made his absence endur able. Aunt Freleigh feels just as I do aboitfc it, I am sure, although she is too loyal to say so. Ware, being her only son, just winds her around his little iinger when he has a point to gain, and when once she has given her consent to any of his wild plans horses wouldn’t drag anything against it out of her lips. Well, I must say I admire it in her, though H would bo. a peifcct luxury to me to go over and see her and have a good grumble. Feb. 4. Found auntie full of plans for some poor families, and she set me to work cutting out flannels, ahd doing lots of other thiugs nganist the meeting of tho “Glenvillo Sew- ifig Sodietyr'DI w.li lulrwt riLHrta-~pr ident, and whoso funds are largely supplied by her own dear self. 1 wonder if Ray Carloton keeps a diary, and if he ever puts my name in it. Willy Grosvcnor has been doing her best since he went with Cousin Ware on that horrid hunting party, to make me believe that ho is sweet on her sister Cecy. But I don’t imagine he’d look at her. She is too bleached out of her complexion, eyes, hair, etc., to attract him. Ho admires dark eyes and hair, at least so ho has told me lots of times. For my part, I think Cecy is just as pretty as a girl needs to be. I was only copying after Bay when I said “blenched out.’’ I wonder if any gentleman ever says one thing to one girl, and a different one—that is—well, I can’t exactly explain what I mean, so I won’t finish my sentence. Of one thing, though, I feel sure, and that is, that Bay nover paid me a compliment unless lie really meant it. lie’s too blunt to be deceitful. I do so admire an outspoken person. But I must not loiter over my writing any longer, for auntie expects me to come over and help her again. So, good-bye little book, for to-day. Feb. 5. Such a - dreadful thing has happened. Auntie is nearly crazy, and a gloom is over everything. The hunting party are all home but Cousin Ware. Ho became separated from them, and, after fruitless search es, they at last gave up all hopes of finding him alive, and so camo home with the terrible tidings. Think of it 1 that" bright-spirited; handsome youth to die alone in that snow-cov ered and desolate wilderness 1 If they had had one half the pluck they ought to have shown, poor Ware would have been found cither alive or dead. I' don’t ever want to set eyes on Ray Carle ton’s face again lie should have found Ware or died beside him. Feb. 10. How lcadenly the days drag on ! I never thought what a difference it made in the looks of things to carry a heavy heart in one’s breast. I absolutely shiver when the sun shines, for I think of poor Ware, and wonder where he is lying, and-— but my thoughts are too dreadful even to speak, much less to writo down. I have met Ray Grosvenor, but I have only given him the coldest of bows and passed on. I had such lofty ideas with regard to his faith fulness and valor, and it makes the ebound all the greater. ■ A man would come away and leave his comrade tolfib iTnet the one to take into your heart; even if it . should break in the effort not to love him. Auntie is a perfect angel 1 In all her own deep sorrow and distress she has i^^l^^ir^ii^tht^ght ^toward those who came away and left Ware to his fate. She chides me in her gentle way for feeling as I do, but J can’t help it. The sight of her sweet, pale face and tearful eyes makes mo feel like a wicked sinner; but the angry thoughts will not bo exercised. I met Ray again yesterday, and ho looked at me with such a wistful, pleading expression that I hud to draw my vail over my face to hide the* swift-coming tears, lie looks pale and worn. I wonder if ho suf fers in his miikV as lie thinks of Ware? They were great friends, and when one saw Ware, .they were sure to look for his double, as Ray was called. Maybe I have been too hard upon him. What if his sorrow for his lost comrade is equal to mine? But it can’t be, for blood is thicker than water, and poor Ware and 1 are own cousins—I mean were. Oh, my heart feels ns though it would burst I Feb. 25. Ray has gone away. If I had only been a little kinder to him I should have saved myself an additional heart-ache; for since it is too lute to make up friends I have heard all about the noble way lie acted with regard to Ware. A party of Indian braves had become disaf fected with the management of af fairs at the Agency and had started N3s--j-^7iTirtrn”niB~war-paXTl. ITusD after Wure became separated from his companions, word was brought that they had struok the trail of tho party and mont to do them mischief. Pre parations were at once made to thwart thair plans by a hasty departure; aud all but Ray were eagor to reach place of safety. Bnt he was de termined to continue the search, come what would. In this dilem ma force was resorted to, and his companions absolutely bound him hand and foot and took turns in car rying him until they reached a set tlement. Milly Grosvenor told me this, and to make me feel still worse, said, also, that Ray felt very much humiliated at what had occurred, and was absolutely ashamed to look anyon^in the face. “Justus if ho could help being 60 slight in his build,” added Milly, “that tho boys could hapdle him as cosy as a baby.” So that is why Ray looked at mo so shamefacedly, and yet never came near me to explain. I suppose he thought I scorned him for not being able to hold his own against all those great strong fellows. Ah, no, Ray; it was because I thought you an un faithful lukewarm searcher af tor your lost friend! And now I cannot even tell you I am sorry, for they say you are to be away for an indefinite time, and they may mean for years. I menu to lock up my dim:y and; not' look at it again; for I’ve nothing to write about now that all is so sad, and—and—Ray is gone I May 28. Come forth, little con fidant, and let me tell you tho good news. It is just three months to a day since I pht you away, never thinking to care to look upon your pages again. But all is changed now. A messenger came to mo this morning who had been sent in hot haste by my aunt. There was a look of excitement and mystery upon the girl’s fuco, which made mo question her as to what auntie wanted. But she gave me no satisfaction and hur ried off at once. I hastened to put on my wraps, and to go see for my self what was tho cause of my sud den summons. Auntie mot me at the door, with tears end smiles con tending for the mastery on her face. One glance at her told mo all. Noth ing but Ware’s return could have brought such a glad look lack again to her eyes. Oh, Sally,” she said, putting her arms about inc and kissing me be tween every word, “Ware has come back, and—and—if yon believe it, ho has brought me a daughter! He is married 1” I listened in breathless amazement. Ware homo and married 1 Would wonders over ceaso? At lust I found my- vwee, And; -strange queer a thing is human naturo, I felt for the moment so vexed at Ware’s having left its all this time in ignor- ahee of his wliereabouts, aud- cfj'^iig our eyes out ubout him, while ho was amusing himself in making love and in getting married, that I blurted onl impulsively. ‘Then all I’ve got to say is, Cousin Ware litis done a fine thing! I’ve lost my respect for him forever.” “Ilush, Sally,” said auntie, laying her fingers on my lips, “don’t say anything you’ll be sorry for. You know you love Ware most us woll as Ido.” “And that makes it worse—” Tho restraining hand succeeded in stopping me before I had concluded my sentence, and auntie said, gently: “Ware has passed through great peril, Sally, and is now nothing but a shadow. The girl who is now his w : fc was the means of saving his pre cious life, and they would not have been married so soon hud it not been that Ware longed so for homo, and could not travel alone. A lotttor was sent to me when he first recovered consciousness so as to give intelligent directions as to his name and home. But as tlie.mail route was far away from tho cubin where Ware found refuge, ho thinks the man to whoip ifc-waa-mfcmated must have fallen into tiieiinnib Af .TjjAm***—-- cither made a prisoner, or scalped or tortured to death according to their heathenish customs.” “Oh! Annie, I’m so sorry I spoke so harshly of poor Ware. Where is he—and—and—his wife ?” I uttered the last query with a sudden shyness, for what kind of a person could this young woman be?” Would wo all bo very much ashamed of her ? For a “cabin,”—yes, that was auntie’s own word—is, to my thiking, about as large as father’s granary; and ono does no expect much of anybody who luw been brought up in such away. But aun tie said, quite oagcrly: ‘Go into tho parlor, Sally, and welcome them both just as cordially as you cnn. Mind, now, don’t be distant to the poor girl. She has put faith in a stranger, and his kin folk must try and make up for what she has left behind her.” “Never fear, Auntie.” I answer ed reassuringly, full of a laudable desire to provo myself an Obedient niece, ani also as kind-hearted aud philanthopn as a girl brought up in a Christian land ought to bo to a semi-barbarian, suoh as I fully ex pect to find in the person of my now relative. But all premeditated action was put to flight when I saw Ware lying up on the sofa, wasted away to a shad ow of his former solfj and when lie said, in rosponso to my cry of: “Oh! Ward” accompanied by a burst of tears whioii l could not restrain: “Don’t cry, Sally; it isn’t so bad as yon think, for I’m on the road to recovery through the unwearied caro of ono whom you must reward with your lovo for it.” As ho said this he put ono wasted arm around his wife’s waist and drew her forward. A semi-barbarian^indeod! I stood for a moment drying my eyes, and trying to realize that I was not in a drawn. If cabins always hold such beauties,it’s a pity everybody couldn’t have lived in one. Great, blue, limped eyes-hair like golden floss, lips like cleft roso buds, and a figure so straight and lissom in its pliant curves that one forgot to wonder at her quaint, old fashionod dross, which looked ns though it might havo been worn by some good, old-time dame in llovolu tionary days. I, as usual, obeyed my first impulse and put my arms around her, and gave her a hearty kiss. I will lovo you dbarly if you will only mo,” I said. ‘‘.I Jiaxo uilwo-JW '■ longed’ to tiave-a girl cousin:” “That’s my own little Sally,” quavorod Ware’s feeblo voico. “I “Annis’s sweet lips qnivQrod as she shrank shyly back to iler hus band's side, and tears welled up into lor uyos.

Tho oldest thing of all is that Ware’s wife is a perfect rara avia to our s mioty, even if she was cubin- bred. If yon boiieve it, she is a good Latin and Greek scholar, and old Dr. Bron, our minister, is de lighted with her.

SO Ann is was alone in the world as to relations when she met Wure. 8ho had been offered a home for the win ter by a kindly couple who took compassion on her loneliness after her father was taken from hor. It seems ordained by fate tliut she and Ware should have mot. He did full in with Indians, and they were decked out in their war paint too. But Ware is a splendid skater, aud ho had just fastened his skates on to try his skill on a frozen sheet of water when ho found himself surrounded. Thut is how ho became separated from his party. In his amazement and confusion he turned the wrong way, and by that means was completely eut off from again getting into camp. “But Ware,” I asked him ono day, ‘how did you manage to got away at all ?” “Just the easiest way in tho world/ be answered. “Indians aro very curious about everything now, aud aro easily amused unloss in a savage mood. This I proved. For I made myself as much of a mountebank as I could, performing all kinds of un couth, awkward man oeuvres, and pretending to bo as clumsy as possible.
