kindly. On the second day Frank saw

AND FINALLY KILLED THEM,
that their friends in Montana, who were
numerous, would 90 TO war with their
tribe and would never let up while any
were left. The old chief listened to him
with some degree of respect, and promised
to try and assist him. but told him that
they were now on the war-path and he had
little or no authority with the warriors.
On the second days march he saw his little
sister at a distance, and finally, at the close
of the day, gained permission to have her
brought to the same tepe (tenD with him
self and Mrs. Cowan. She kept up her
courage and stood the terrible blow
bravely, although only IL years of age.
Looking Glass finally promised to lay
their case before council of seven chiefs,
and to abide their decision.
IF THEY SAID KILL,
he would be compelled to carry out their
decision, if they decided to let them go, he
would gladly do all in his power to get
them Quietly away from the rage and anger
of his band. AS their motto was, Let no
one escape" it would be difficult to gain
consent. So on the following morning at

notified that their trial would come off.

and it was bad policy to turn any one loose,
and urged an immediate slaughter. His
speech seemed to be not without effect and
the case of the unfortunate prisoners was
serious one. When both had finished a
vote was called for Looking Glass took his
pipe lit it and smoked. This was the first

and passed it to the next, thereby casting
the first vote for death. When the sixth
chief had voted, it was tie-three for and
three against.
Looking Glass rose to his feet and urged his
fellow chiefs to
LET THESE PRISONERS GO,
especially the ladies. His argument was
long ard earnest in their behalf. He sat
down and Little Bear again sprang to his
feet, mauifesting great rage. He spoke
with an earnestness, and his speech had
telling effect. The seventh chief, still
wavering twirled the pipe in his fingers and
n otioned as if he would lay it aside anu
nus seal the fate of the prisoners, but
Looking Glass was equal to the emergency.
He saw that something must be done. he
spoke one word to the man in whose hands
were the lives of the prisoners. He paused

the verdict was acquittal. Looking Glass
lost no time. He took young Carpenter to
one side and told him to lose no time in
getting away. A pony was placed at his
disposal; his sisters were both seated upon

had no provisions. They, knew
that they must stravel at least
$50 miles before reaching the settlement.
On the evening of the second day, tired
and hungry, they picketed their horses and
laid down under tree for sleep. Although
they felt the cravings Of hunger they were
soon sleeping soundly. AT the early dawn
they were up and ready for another hard
