There, on the bloody battlefield of the Fallen Timbers, Wolf Cap had
found his child. It was a reunion impossible to describe, but many a
heart beat in unison with the father's in the bivouac that night.

Of course, Little Moccasin left the woods and became Harvey Catlett's
bride, while the backwoods preacher made Oscar Parton and the settler's
daughter one.

Thus, with Wayne's decisive victory over the allied tribes, end the
trails which we have followed through the summer woods of the Maumee.

THE END.

split pieces of basswood. You may be sure of one thing, children, and
that is, we didn't have things very nice and handy in those days; but we
were just beginning, and we had to do the best we could, and what we
couldn't help we had to put up with.

"I built a little stable for our cow, which I left with your grandmother
in the settlement where you find a city to-day, until I got ready to
