The Indians named her "Wauban,"
or "The Early Dawn" from the re
semblance OF her complexion to the
tints OF the early morning, ad by all
the white settlers and hunters she was
known ~ "The Rose Of X Jck River
from her suggesting the color OF the
Michigan or prairie rose, which then
grew in wild luxuriance all over that
country.

This mote of Indian COurtship continued
during the winter, and when spring
brought the carly flowers, the young
chief, having seen that Wauban always
wore them and was very fond OF them,
sought them lar and near. and the most
beautiful aud the most fragrant she con-
slantIy found under her window or at
her feet, the chief himself, with a
GeIlcacv Characteristic OF hisrace, rarely
being seen in person.
One evening early in JuLc Wauban
wa3~ awakened 10y healing a song beneath
her window in the Ottawa tongue, which
.he had learned from her intercourse
with the Indians-a son the refrain of
which might he rendered thus:
