" Nv brothers are tired, he said. Tho trail
has been long and the nigh dark Tle spnit
Of the floods has been abroad and the NJ MInitcu
Of the thunder has rocked the earth with his deep
voice. lot my brothers come into the wgwam
OF the whito chief and r,s.. His hand is ever
open TO nis red brother
" The foot Of tho warrior Is not like tho tire
less wolf, replied the Heart Of Wolf, though
comp lc ely taken ab,ck by tho salutatun 40
had received, yet far too cunning TO reveal his
iecilngs Tne red man must rest whsn TO is
,irod-mus o.t whsn he ia hungry. "The Great
Sp rit made him not like the serpent TO live ON
air.
"My brother has said IL AMI the sduawI of
tho white chei will bring the warriors food"
aud Harrington motioned TO the women TO full
ill bis words.
MY b Nor will cat, said tho Indian, his
ever treicherous tonl fearing kindred tteachery
syen in the fyod that was plI sed bef 70 hun.
Fearing that ho would be poisoned while being
fed.
My red brother is great warrior aud the
pie face Is hon rcd when he eata VITA him,
and Harrington in whom there was a strJns
clement of mirth began TO dispatch the fool 80
rapidly that the dians soon porceiving that
they would 10 lett vita bare plates, followed
hia example with all tn, gluttony Of their nature.
50 keen wa' the stJife, too, that even Marth,
and her parents forgot tor the moment their
LANCER and turned away 10 hide thei smiles
Ard 80 | Is that tears and laughter arc ever
strangely conmingled in our lives.
The mea done, tho farmer supplied each one
with pipes and tob Icco and they smoked loag in
silence thinking OF the part they were ac.ing,
and Harrington waited until they iaishei be-
fore addressing them again, in acc rdInce with
I2lian custom. At length when tho proper
time came he reopencd the conversation by ask.
ing them il there was anything else they desired.
"The red man heard, answered tho Heart of
Wolf, "tha, the ylung chief had wandered
from the wigSam q his fathers"
" Yes, repl cd Harrington. "The foot Of the
young is swtt-lheir hearts are lleht-.they
co ne and go ut will"
~ Inc StOfu spirit was hOTOhn IN nS Wrhn
He twisted the gnarled oak and DO we'd the pine
of the mountain. The flashes fell thick aud fast
from the eyes Of the angry Mantou binding
and destroying. The foot OF the young brave
Is not wont TO wander on snch a night"
When the young hunter is abroad, and the
storm overtakes him he finds shelter in the lodge
OF bis friends "
lie cannot find his way like the wolf. Ho
| Is not cunning as the speckled serpent"
But the wigwan Of his friends are open and
| he is safe therein"
| IL was a desperate game this, that Harrington
| WAS llaying and we'll he know H.. The Indian
| was determined 10 ascertain the whereabo ous of
| Luke, and the white man TO give him no infor-
nation, though luckily he was favored in this
respect by his own total want of kno noVledge.
Something, however, he saw must be done 70
convince the search'rs tina. the boy Eas not in
the house and mis- resolve waf specdily taken
"Wll my brothers look at the wigwam OF
the pale warrior and see how he shelters the
ones that come TO him in the night time 2"
and without waiting for either acIuiesence or
refusal he arose and opening door after door
showed them every corner Within the house.
" The pale chief is kind 10 the stranger"
said the Indian spokesman.
A" And my red brothers will be TO the pale
wandeTer. My bro.hers know the wood and the
prairie. If they see the young chief they will
| give him food and bring him back 20 his homa.
