CHAPTER XII.
MARRIAGE OF LITTLE MAG .-- SOCIETY AT HALIFAX.
Soon after Mrs.Godfrey's departure from Parr Town for England, Little Mag Guidon went up the St.John and settled there with some of the tribe, intending to remain until a chance of getting back to her people occurred.

She was not destined, however, to go back to her Chippewayan friends.

Jim Newall, who had so often paddled her to the settlement and back, made advances toward her, which she reciprocated till it ended in the two being married.

It appears she had won Jim's heart during the illness of her husband.

She told one of the Lesters, shortly after Margaret Godfrey's departure, that Newall had said to her one evening while going up to the camp from the mouth of the river, "Supposem, may be, husband Paul die, Jim Newall come wigwam." She replied, "When Paul die, no wigwam be there, won't stay 'lone." Jim answered, "Me, you, two keep wigwam supposem." Doubtless, the above conversation laid the foundation of their union.
