Wisconsin tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1847-1854, 1853-06-23

We know he Is impartial, and works il
wisdom for the good of ALL added Rosal
the.
Yes, he is good, said Monon, sbecaus,
he gives US the strawberry moon, and tn,
corn moon, and the buffalo moon, all il
their season. and never alters his minC
and changes them
If heis SO good, why does helet peo
pie do wickedly-make war, and kill eacI
other2 Why does he suffer the poor
white girl to be burned with fire and al
low others to lie and deceive said Star
Light, with much bitterness of manner.
Perhaps he will not permit this cir
to suffer. He may avert her fate replied
Rosalthe, quite earnestly. Promise me
that you will make an effort to save her,
she added, with fervor.
Lie down and sleep. White-Cloud,' re,
! turned Starlight, coldly.
The fate of that unhappy young wo-
man makes me miserable 7 exclaimed our
heroine, and lying down upon the couch of
bufalo-skins that had been spread for her,
she vainly endeavored to rest The
imperfect slumbers that visited her at Pc
riods, were disturbed by dreamy va
garies. It was about midnight, when she
felt touch upon her arm. She opened
her eyes with start, and beheld Star
Light standing beside her
IF you would see the white captive,
arise and follow me- said the Indian
girl.
Rosalthe lost no time in obeying; she
arose and followed her from the lodge,
while Monon remained sitting by the fire.
Without word being uttered by either
party, they approached the spot where the
unfortunate captive was waiting the ex-
ecution of the sentence which had been
pronounced upon her, by her inexorable
judges
Two warriors lay extended on the
ground near the door of the lodge, who
appeared to be sleeping soundly. Star
Light paused evidently somewhat sur
prised at what she beheld.
The Great Spirit favors u.s. she said,
in low voice. These warriors are full
Of ewater-they are drunken
Starlight passed on, STEPPING lightly
within a few inches of the unconscious
watchers. Makig gesture for Rosalthe
70 initiate her example, she gided into
the lodge The prisoner was sitting near
a smouldering fire, her hands and feet
tightly bound with thongs of deerskin.-
She looked up with an exclamation of as
constituent as Starlight entered; but
the latter placed the index finger of her
left hand upon her lips, and with the 9th
er pointed significantly towards the place
where the warriors were sleeping.
The instant that Rosalthe caught
glimpse of the sorrowful face that was
turned towards her, she sprang forward
and embraced the doomed maiden, ex-
H f'f6s captive uttered no words OF recog-
milton, but gazed at Rosalthe in mute sur
prise.
'lTinno Monedo p said Starlight, in a
but energetic manner what
are you doing2 Is this time to embrace
and weep? Come away, White Cloud;
the Dropping Lilly des not know you
Star Light grasped Rosalthe by the
arm and drew her away from the captive;
with knife she then severed the thongs
that bound her limbs, and bade her stand
up. This done, raising her hand warn
ingly, she stepped to the door and looked
for a moment at the warriors before it
Satisfied, evidently, with the result of her
examination. she returned, took Fanny
Harrod by the hand, and led her from the
lodge.
The parties stood in the open air, and
beneath the light of an unclouded moon.
The face of Miss Harrod was deadly pale;
her limbs trembled with agitation, and
her heart beat fast with expectation and
fear. She turned her marble visage i'm
ploringly towards Starlight, or threw
wild and wondering glances at Rosal-
the.
The Cherokee girl paused but mo-
ment, and then moved away from the
spot, supporting the trembling form of
Fanny Harrod They had proceeded
perhaps dozen yards, when majestic
figure darkened their path, and the face
of Otter-Lifter was looking calmly upon
them. Miss Harrod uttered faint cry,
and fell fainting into the arms of Star
Light.
