"Come hither, iny daughter. I would
fain hold converse with you."
It was the great chief. Red Fox, who
gave utterance to these words, and
they were addressed to Night Wind,
the most beautiful maiden of the Ogal- j
lala tribe.
"What is it. father V" she asked, and
gazed at the commanding figure of the
chief with startled interest, as if she
feared to hear what he was about to
say.
And now, while we leave the chief
and his daughter conversing together,
let us take a cursory view of the re
gion immediately surrounding and note
the picturesque attractiveness of the
locality. It was an ideal spot for an
Indian village, for the tents were pitch
ed in a majestic forest of great trees,
overshadowing a smooth and grassy
slope, at the foot of wh. i ilowed the
upper Snake river.
But to return to the chief and his
daughter. The fair Night Wind lis
tened with a palpitating heart to the
words of her father.
"Tomorrow Swift Arrow will return
to our village, bringing as tokens of
victory the scalps of our hereditary
foes, the Siekiyous," said the chief.
'Tie is now the second leader of our
tribe, and when I, the great Red Fox.
am gathered to my fathers and take up
my eternal abode in. the happy hunt
ing grounds he. Swift Arrow, will be
the first chief of the Ogallalas. She
who is now daughter of the great chief
must be wife of the new chief."
"No, dear father, no!" exclaimed
Night Wind, sinking to her knees and
lifting her hands in pitiful entreaty.
"Swift Arrow is a great chief, but he
is cold and cruel, and I can never love
him."
"I have given my solemn promise,
and Red Fox always keeps his word."
"Let me go to him, and I will plead
with him to release you," said the
beautiful maiden, clutching at her fa
ther's arm with hands which were
laden with ornaments of gold aud pre
cious shells.
"Why do you a&k this?" demanded
Red Fox. a heavy frown crossing his
stern features.
"Because, dear father, I love an
other." "His name, girl!"
"It is White Moccasin."
The eyes of Red Fox flashed omi
nously. "White Moccasin is the son of Sleep
ing Buffalo, my some time foe." said
he.
"But he is brave and strong and
handsome." urged the maiden. "He
has hunted in the forest and brought
me the rarest of birds. He is the most
expert of all the fishermen in the tribe.
As an equestrian I am sure that he
cannot be excelled by any of the young
men of our acquaintance. Father, dear,
I love White Moccasin, and I feel that
life without him would be burdensome
indeed."
"Speak no further." exclaimed the
chief iu cre:it an-rer. "You shall mar
ry a chief. Tomorrow he returns, and!
you shall go to his tent as soon as the
great medicine man can perform the
ceremony usual to puch occasions. Re
tire to your tent, please, and let us
hear no more foolish discourse in re
gard to White Moccasin."
With a heavy heart Night Wind
slipped into the privacy of her own
tent and gave herself up to the most
sorrowful meditations. White Mocca
sin was away on the chase cr she
might have gone to him for comforting
advice. All night she lay awake on
her couch of soft furs.
In the morning she hoard distant
shouts and knew that Swift Arrow
and the victorious memjbers of the
tribe were returning to the village.
Subsequently she heard the war cries
and the shrill incantations which ac
companied the dance of triumph, but
she did not go out to join in the festiv
ities. It was approaching dusk when she
heard a rustling sound outside of the
tent and a voice asked. "Night Wind,
are you there?"
"Who is it?" she asked, considerably
frightened.
"It is your faithful lover. White Moc
casin." With a glnd cry she sprang from her
couch, and together they fled to the
river, where a canoe was moored.
With set eyes and straining muscles
the lover sent the boat flying with the
swift current. But they were followed,
and the pursuers, with two paddles,
gained at every mile. Their shouts
could be h-ard more distinctly, and
when White Moccasin looked back he
saw in one canoe the Ggure of Swift
Arrow and in another the sinewy form
of Ked Fox.
And now what sound broke on his
ear?
It was the thunder of the cataract
ahead.
If he stopped to make a landing he
would be captured, whereas to stop
and surrender would be infamy.
He called to Night Wind and said:
"Listen. I will push the canoe ashore
and Cght them as they come. You es
cape." "No!" she shouted. "Let us die to
gether!" "Night Wind, listen," he entreated.
With a sudden leap she wrested the
paddle from his hands and threw it
far overboard. The pursuers shouted
in dismay. Red Fox loved his daugh
ter and had not allowed his braves to
fire at the t'ying canoe.
White Moccasin and Night Wind
stood erect in the canoe, clinging to
each other and waving defiance to the
old chief. . A groan of mortal agony
escaped Red Fox.
At that moment his own canoe was
safely grounded. He saw his daugh
ter and the undaunted White Moccasin
whirl through the moonlit vapors and
disappear into the awful abyss cf waters.
FOR THECHILDREN
Game cf Grrden Gate.
This Is a pretty game for children.
A ring is formed of all the players ex
cept one, who stands in the middle.
The others dance round her three
times, and when they stop she begins
to sing:
Opan wida tlie g-arcl-in rxate, the garden
gate, the garden gate;
Oyen wide the garden gate and let me
through.
The - circle then dances round her
again, singing:
Gel the key of the garden gate, the gar
den gate, the garden gate,
Gee the key cf the garden gate, open and
let yourself through.
r.Che girl inside the circle, pretending
to sob. replies: .
I've lost the key of the garden gate, the
garden gate, the garden gate,
I've lost the key of the garden gate and
cannot let myseif through.
33ut the dancers - dance round and
round her, singing:
Ycu may stop all niht within the gate,
within the gate,
Ycu may stop all night within the gate
unless you've strength to break
through.
The captive then rushes to the weak
est part of the ring and tries to break
through by throwing her whole weight
uron the clasped hands of the children
ard generally contrives to break
through, the one whose hand gives
way becoming captive in her stead.
Seed Carrying Birds.
It is almost beyoad belief how birds
carry the seeds o' plants from one
country to another and even from one
continent to another. Darwin says
thAt he found on the f-et of ducks and
geese killed in England the seeds of
plants peculiar to central Africa.
More specifically, ho found in six grains
of dirt removed from the feet of a
plover three different kinds of seeds.
Cattle carry seeds on their feet too.
It is said that a man in New York by
means of the microscope found the
seeds of six kinds of weeds and grass
es in the mud that a Texas steer
brought on its feet from that far dis
tant state. All this may seem to have
been accidental, but students of nature
attribute it to a great and overruling
design.
Mother Goose Questions.
What animal was expelled from an
institution of learning? Mary's little
Iamb.
Who slept when he should have at
tended to duty? Little Boy Blue.
What novel filling was put in a pie?
Four and twenty blackbirds.
When did pussy get her feet wet?
When Johnny Green threw her in the
well.
Who house cleaned the heavens?
The old woman who swept the cob
webs out of the sky.
Who was a distracted mother?jrhe
old woman who lived in a shoe. Phil
adelphia Record.
The Adjective Conversant.
One of our young correspondents
asks the editor whether the adjective
"conversant" may be properly followed
by the preposition "in." Yes, it may be
in certain cases, but "with" is general
ly used. If we use the word in the
sense of being intimately acquaintcl
with or intimately associated witu
persons we should saw "conversant
with," but if we are speaking of some
branch of study in the sense of bein
well informed we may say "conver
sant in," as "deeply conversant in iL3
I'latonic philosophy," which is a lice
from Dryden. Chicago News.
A Clock Puzzle.
Ask your friends to think of any
number on the dial of a watch or
clock. Then point to various numbers,
and at each have him silently add one
to the number selected until he arrives
at twenty, which he will announce
aloud, and your pointer will be on the
numeral he selected.
Solution. Point promiscuously about
the face of the watch until the eighth
point, which must be on the twelve.
Then pass regularly around toward the
one, pointing at eleven, ten, nine, etc.,
until twenty is called, and you will te
on the number selected.
The Hat Game.
One of the plryers has two hat!.
One he puts on his own head, and the
other he hands to one of the company.
The person who has received the hnt
must then make every action contrary
to the action of the person who hand
ed him the hat. For instance, if No. 1
tits down No. 2 must stand up: if No.
1 takes off his hat No. 2 must put his
on." If No. 2 fails he must pay a for
feit. The time cf trial is limited to
three minutes or less. After that No. 1
must take the hat and be tried in his
turn.
The Giant and the Dwarf.
"I can't" 13 a dwarf, a poor, paie, puny
imp;
His eyes are half blind, and his walk is a
limp.
"I can" is a giant unbending he stands;
There is strength Li his arms and skill in
his hands.
"I can't" is a sluggard, too lazy to work;
From duty he shrinks, every task he will
shirk.
"I can" is a worker he tills the broad
fields
And dig3 from the earth all the wealth
which it yield3.
"I can't" is a coward, half fainting with
fright;
At the first thought of peril he slinks out
of sight, .
"I can" is a hero, the first In the field;
Though others may falter, he never will
yield.
How grandly and nobly he stands to his
trust
When roused at the call of a cause that
is just.,
"I can't" has no place. Act your part
like a man.
And when duty calls answer promptly, "I
can."
