THE pRyIL.s. DANCE.

Other dances followed in quick suc-
cession. The FIRE was made to burn
hotter than ever and the heat was almost
unbearable. A single hole in the root
served a. an outlet for the smoke. but
through this outlet the smoke was In NO
hurry to 20. The atmosphere, breathed
over and over by every Indian in the
place, was poisonous itself; and reeking
with carbonic-acid gas and charcoal
fumes it was moistened with human
perspiration. The FIRE heated the
passions Is well as the body, and the
uproar became greater. Two braves
now appeared before the IRE, and a
grunt Of satisfaction indicated that q
climax was to be reached. One was
small and agile, but IS tough as tiger
the other showed Q symmetry in form
and proportions such - we had seldom
seen equaled. Save few feathers in
the hair and a girdle around the loins,
each dancer was naked, and their mus.
cles stood out like great Jumps on their
bodies. The music beginning, they shot
like race-horses twice around the fire
and then pausing for moment they
set to their work. They jumped; they
yelled; they beat the ground with their
feet; they tossed their arms aloft; they
beat their head to their knees; they
threw their bodies into contortions; they
danced like devils in human form. But
such exertions could not last forever

horse-tail in the right hand, and four
had peculiar wooden whistles in their
mouths. The dancers varied in age from
the young girl in her teens to the grand
mother of the tribe; aud stoical indif-
ference to pleasure or applause was
manifested on every face. During the
dance the feet were never wholly lifted
from the ground, and the motion was
a sort of shutting "hobbledehoy"-the
dancers now supporting themselves on
the heel, now on the toes-now turning
around and around-now following the
leader with snail-like pace around the
fire. Every few minutes, without the
least sign, the beating of the sticks and
the humming of the musicians would
suddenly stop, and then, by way of ap-
plause, the old Indian by the fire and
one or two Others would utter . sound

groan and yell.
After the dance had continued some
time and the squaws had well nigh ex.

they darted off suddenly into the passage

entered; and thereupon q single brave
with his face painted and almost naked
appeared in front of the audience. Hold

whistle in his mouth, he danced to thu

and these. following him, two BY two
