TJie Home of tJie Wolverene and Beaver. 241 



" C'cst inutile, Monsieur Paid, we must try to 

 catch two or three beaver, and then we shall move

 us;" and with a sigh at so much labour misspent, the 

 Canadian led the way towards a small frozen 

 stream, where he knew the beavers had a settle- 

 ment.
