had a desperately hard time of it, sometimes
being reduced to no other food than the wild turnip found in great
quantities in that locality, and at the end of the second summer,
nearly all of them returned to Pembina for the winter.

This sort of thing went on for several years, until finally, having
received further reinforcements from Lord Selkirk, they really began to
take root, and a comfortable, self-sustaining settlement grew up, which
in large part realized the hopes which had drawn them from the Old
World to the New.

Through it all, Hector was a loyal, obedient son. He shared in all his
father's toil, did his best to brighten little Ailie's play hours, and
altogether bore himself with infinite credit.

None of the Scotch settlers struck deeper roots into the country than
did the Macraes, but this story cannot follow them any farther.
Suffice it to say, their descendants are some of the finest men and
women, not to mention boys and girls, in the Canadian North-West.
