CHAPTER Kill

CHATTER All.
Yet Little Bafnfoot was borrow struck
when she learned that the town council
gave their unaniiDours consent, on the
stipulation that Dami should surrender
his right of citizenship in the village. That
was matter of course, and should have
been expected; but since it was made a
condition, it became a bdgbear-n never
again to have the right of q home in The
village. She said nothing TO Dami of her
thoughts, and he appeared to be in good
spirits. Marann particularly talked q
great deal TO him, for she would haye
liked TO have cnttlewholc village abroad
in order 10 get Intelligence of her son. She
now firmly believed that John had crossed
the ocean. Crow-Zach had told her tha,
the sea, the treacherous ocean was the
cause of her being unable to weep for him
if be were on the other side. s -
Little Barefoot. obtained permission OF
her mistress. to accompany her brother
when he wcntto the city TO settle with the
agent the terms of his passage. How SUR
prised were they when they heard there,
that this had already been done The
Town Couueil had arranged il, and Dami
enjoyed the privilege of the poor with its
corresponding obligations. He was requir-
ed to subsc.ibe, on. the ship before she
sailed, a certificate, and only then was the
money paid down. HtsF
Sorrowfuily the brother sndlsister return
ed to the village, and silently they enter
ed it. Danai wsS overcame sith atfliction
because he was obliged to do what he had
said, and Little Barefoot felt the 'deepes
grief because her brother was, as it were
driven away. When they came to the
boundry, Danni addressed the sign>posts
upon which stood the names of the village
and districts:
You therel God bless yoth You dc
not point out my home any longer, and
all the people arc as little to me as you
are ssrfsscf 49, ). -ss.-.-.s {. = y. lssis
| Little Barefoot wept, but Little Barefoot
determined that this should be the last
time before Dami's departure. and that she
would not weep even then. She kept hel
word. The people in the village sale
that Little Barefoot could have no heart in
her body, for her eyes did not moisten a
her brothers departure, and the people
would have liked to see her tears
! what do they concern them-elves abou
those who mourn in secret2 Little Bare
foot preserved rigid composure. Only
Just before his departure she neglected hel
duty Cor the first time; she sighted hel
work, and was always at his side; she pa
tiently bore Rosels scolding, sayleg.-
You are right But stin she was alwayl
running to her brother, she would no
lose q moment while he was with her.
1t appeared to her every moment as if sh'
! could give him some important advice
something that would .be useful to hin
,, through life, and 1t panied her that sh,
could only say common place thlngs.-
Yes, she even went so far as to quarre
= with him.
i Oh, these hours OF parting, how they al

: moment all the past and the future, soths
one knows not how to begin, and all mus
