Long years ago when the voyaceura ds
were Brit eiplorlng Canada the In I
diana hid been aroused and were boa
tile and the eiplorera made a practice
Of camping on islands to escape the I
oaragei lot aa the teen and ducks r
do to escape the wolves and foxes
Near where the grave stands a cano I
load of men were camped They had I
pent the night breikfaiteJ and were I
preparing to leave when halt a mile
away was seen a doten canoe load I
of painted Indiana making for tbemI I
tbemI
To remain was certain death ao they I I
abandoned everything and made a I
rush far their canoe leaving one ot
their number who bad draped abort I
distance from the camp behind them
Each man grasped his paddle and
aided by the swift current the canoe
flew but the Indiana followed In I close
pursuit and were gaining on the foil
Ilea To atop meant death To land
was ImpoMlble became they would be
caught and massacred Presently the I
roar of the ails was heard sounding
like a wore of angry lions and a pillar >
of spray was seen to rlae Death waa

certain but death U being daaned
over the talls waa preferable to deith
liy torture at tbe slake 10 they all lay
down In the bottom of the canoe
commended their aoul to God and
IItvvoklDI the liiterceailoa at the Virgin
Mother by a fervent
Saint Mane plln de grace
they awaited the end The current
burled them along and when the roar
of the cataract had become deafening
the terroratrltkeu iiccupants of tbe i
canoe caw a woman In white seat her
I self In the atern ot the croft and take
a paddle In I her hand Almost In I I
aUntly the canoe allot over the precl th I
pice Down Jason down A plan bI
and the hearing of the canoe told them
a j
that they had paaied the falli and
were now In the whirlpools and rap I
Ut below Still the woman In white >
oat In her chosen position and In I leal I
time than It tarn to tell It the canoe
was moored In I a quiet eddy below rI
The woman In white cut a look ort r
Ineffable tenderness non the rum
T
bent voyageur and vanlabed Tbey
aroie and discovered that they were I
I safe Not a drop ot water was lath I 1
canoe Not a thing disturbed The I
miracle dumfounded them becauu
they knew a saw log or a aUk ot I
timber could not paaa the falls with
0out being risen and splintered Re
galling speech they devoutly knelt
upon the rocks and returned thank
to God then lifting their canoe they
proceeded over the weary portage de
temlned to sea what had become ot
their comrade
The ranoomed retched their camp
Pine place on the laland but their com
panlon thinking them Indiana had
I concealed himself AI loon aa he rev d
ognlied the volcei he came forth and
i
In an entaiy ot joy his emotions over
I came him and he dropped dead We
I would call It heart disease nowaday
Lr de en eft jete laid the foreman
and they burled the dead man plac
lot a rude alab to mark the spot and
the grain baa been the Mecca or toy
ngeiira ever slrce And said Paul I
looking Into the dark and wondering
llooklDI tae maiden before him Cet
un orals route
I Louise old nothing A pallor tpread
over her fact and she visibly trembled
L
Paul heedless Qt the fast inmaong I
current laid bis paddle acrom the
gunwale of hit canoe and taking her j
hand laid earnestly
arnCOltII I
IouIie I am like tbe Toyageur In I
the ittory Since meeting you since
first hearing your voice since first In
haling the odor of your pretence I
have loved you and unless you can be
mine I must perish In the turbulent
stream ot life He my woman In
white and save me
The unheeded growllnga of the cat
iract broke Into a roar and tbe young
girl Instinctively grasped the paddle j
Donneilemot Paul grasped the
paddle almost rudely from her hand
Danger was all around him but be
waa trong and fearless He knew he I
could reach a place ot safety at the j
very brink of the falls where there I
was a flat rock on the afore on tbe
Island aide Many a time be bad atood i
upon It and watched the driftwood and
debaclage tumble over when the Ice
parted on the lakes above and the
Ann followed each other In Indian i
file down the current With herculean
strength be urged forward the canoe
Many miles below where the waters I
again became placid dweller near the I
river while gathering slabs from tbI
upriver sax rollli for the winter
fuel discovered a crushed birchen I
canoe In tome driftwood They gladly I
rescued It is It made excellent kin I
dung and rejoiced In their good for
tune They all had heard tbe story I
They knew nothing of the story of the
story Long afterwards and far toward the
gulf where the Gatlneau contributes I
Us burden to the larger stream the j
young son ot a local habitant one day
picked up the blade of a broken paddle I
on the beach upon which the name of t 1
° P I Rocbambeau bad been aklllfully j j
I
burned Tbe boy could not read andI
I
the xylographlc characters had no 111I
term for him and he threw the blad I j
back Into the stream He had heard
from his grandslre the story he knew
nothing of the story of the stay I
To the little village ot Portage du i
Fort the young couple rune not but j I
the simple people Uchidlng Paul I > i
mother always believed that they had I
gone to the vague land of blenlngs I
and busses They too bad heard
and bellved the story but they knew
nothing of tbe story of the story

I Tilt TIDE OF INFLUENCE I
IIn I England many years ago a
I Christian woman going along the 1
I road had a christian tract in her
band and she said I will just j
i drop this on the road and I will
offer a prayer that some bad man
i 1 may come along and pick up t anI
tractIt may save his soul Sojf
she dropped the tract and offered
i tbe prayer Sure enough a little
i while after there came along a very
dissipated dissolute blasphemous
man His name was Richard
Baxter lie picked up that tract
and it brought him to God Ric he
iiard I Ilaxter wrote A Call to the
Unconverted which has harvest
I ed thousands for the kingdom of
heaven among others Philip Dod
1 dridge 1hilip Poddridge wrote alI
book called The Rise and Pro g
ress of Religion in the Soul It
has been the means of salvation to
thousands and hundreds of thorn
bands I among others the great WI11
beforce Wilbeforce wrote a book
I called A Practical View of Chris
tianity which has saved a vast
multitudfof souls among others
rLegb Richmond Itgh Richmond I
I
rrote a tract called The Dairy
j I mans Daughter the might and
1 cadod
1 majesty of whose influence for God I
eland 1 righteousness has never yetI
j been told And all that tide of I Dct
1 fluence starting from that tract
dropped by that unknown woman
goes rolling on through Richard
1dropped 1 through Philip Doddtidge
through the great Wilberforce
through Legh Richmond on and
ron I forever You tell me that u n
known woman has not received her
reward 11 belie her reward in
adthe eternal skies has been as great
tas that of Richard Baxter or Philip
Doddridge or the great Wilber
force or Legh Richmond As

battle so shall his part be that lad utt
