Guttenburg The animal that accompanied
her, though powerful IN limb. fierce, and vo-
racious in disposition. had nevertheless form
ed an attachment for her. who had often
shielded him from the deadly arrow strung By
her fathers people. The evening shades
were gathering around her as. seated upon the
summit OF the hill. she recalled in mournfni
strains the memory Of her father. when sud
denly she was startled by low growl from
the shaggy wolf fthat lay by her side.
Casting her eve along the summit of the
hill, she beheld the spectre form ofthe White
Elk, gazing upon her, shaking his wide
spreading antlers, and stamping upon the
ground. In a moment the fasso that re-
strained the fierce wolf was slipped from his
neck, when the animals closed in dreadful
combat. And now the elk would fling his
adversary high in the air, or crush and mangle
him beneath his sharpened boofs. The IN
daunted wolf, recoing for a moment from
the contest would stand with glaring eve in
tently fixed upon his foe, while a bloody
foam drpped from his lolling tongue, and
then with one long howl he would close again
with the fearful elk, fastening his fangs upon
his throat, or decorating his sides and nostris.
lhe elk, weakened by the loss Of blood, at
length became an unequal combatant Sum
ming up all his strength. with his sharpened
hooi he dragged the wolf from his throat. aud

wolf howhng with crouching nose upon his
trail AT length the spectre form Of the elk
was again seen upon the summit Of that hill
