He was beloved beyond the chief ot the tribe, and his popularify had aroused "a feel- ingiof bitter enmity toward him in the breast of the Indian ruler. But the dau;hltr 1oved the young warrior, and so deeply were the affections of the people fixed upou their idol that th chief dared not do that which he fain would have done orderHhe remoyal or his daughter's 'lover, and his riyal in the affections of the tribe, by the tomahawk. The young Indian had sued fur the chief's sanction of his unioa wrtii the princess, again and . t . tli 1 ! 1 !i again, Dui iu tain, jpui.nis popuianiy grew greater i.i added sooie deed of courage to ther coxd of his achievements, until the caief's hatred ot him was merged into alarm; for he feared the day was rapid- lv tiuroachibc ' when his own great naam would be held as naught, as com- partd with that or the youth. That ed the chief saw plainly, and; one day the crafty ruler bethought him of a plan whereby that end might not only pe secured"; but the destruction of his rival be encumpASHed as well. tHe sent for the youug warrior, and caused, the loyer's heart to leap with joy by telling him that paternal prido had relented, and that the great chief would consent to the union of his daughter to his hum ble subject. But he iustantly added the condition tbat tho union could not be consummated until the lover should lay at the door of his 'chief's wigwam the body of a white deer. Until this was done, the subject of the marriage must never again be mentioned, under pain of death, or banishment. In this con dition tfie Indian lover read his doom, for, said he, was it not easier to pierce the huuter's moon with an arrow than to bury a fatal shaft in the sacred white dter's heart? And so he hovered no umre aoout ine, wigwam oi nis uusity nils' rfBS, uuif wuutu nuu uiuio mail wonted ardor the peril of the war path aud the. chase, adding new lustre to his name, and to .his tribe greater glory. ,. -ix- . .... . .

The great socerer oi me iriDe was present, xa- ture had no mysteries that were not to hiitf an open book. No talsman could pre vai I against tne magic pi his art. Yet his mortal heart had gone forth to the daughter of. his chief, who the young brave loved. She had repulsed his suit, and her father had rebuked the Socerer for his presumption. And the magician had swnru revenge. At the second conference tne cniei repeated the condition upon which he would give hia daughter to the young and beckoned the sorcerer to his side. The socerer placed in the lov er's hand an arrow, made from the long, straight stock of the swamp flag, and tipped with a barb or silver ! his, he said,- speeding from the bow of one courageous to single out a white deer lor his aim,' would prevail Against the charm that made all other shafts fall harmless, and find the sacred hart as vulnerable as any in the herd. ; The lover placed the arrow in hs quiver. If it were greater than the charm that guarded the life of the white deer, he said, he would lay the prize at the feet ot his chief and claim his royal bride. High on the hills overlooking the valley of the Lara waxen is a lake as clear as crystal. In the Indian days, as now, it was a favorite resort for deer. The Indian lover launched his birch canoe on the lake, and anxiously await- ed the coming of the deer at nightfall, noping that among inem migut oe one of the charmed member of the herd, ""'J l Xl T A. 11 I Buriace of the lake, a herd of deer stole from the woods and stood knee deep in XC-0wniteWdoer: QdXg flash the silver tipped arrow leaped from the warrior's bow. It gleamed for an instant in the air, and then sank into the white deer's heart. With a err' that resounded far among the hills the white deer fell dead, and its com panions fled in terror to the woods. While the death cry was still echoing about the lake, the young brave's arms fell powerless by hi side. His tongue refused to give voice to the cry that came to nia lips, ivery memoer was powerless. He could not move a mus cle. h For days he drifted about the lake, parcnea wua wirst ana lamismug wiui i 1 No succor came, and not un- til two moons had come ana gone was his dead and wasted body found, upngnt in jus canoe, floating npon surface of the lake.

The wvumuu uv hmhwb. ; tribe, never . . r afterward able to cope with iw I , e-r r enemies, was gradually swept, out of existence.
