He, with the other chiefs, attended
1nnumerable social gatherings aud was
everywhere lionized. Ko-wa-che was
petted 20 an extent that made even the
medicine men enviOus. But such .
thing as the bronzed savage being sus-
ceptibie to anything like sentiment was
not for y moment Thought Of by the la
dies, and they patronized him to mani
fest the interest they felt in this dusky
LOvelace.
The unsophisticated brave, it now an
pears, didn't look ut the affair in exact
~ the same light. The warrior from
the primeval forests of the land of the
setting sun was m'adly, passionately,

met the young chief at social party
given ut the home ofthe Indians host.
The interest she took in him differed in
no way from that manifested by her sis
ters, and she lei him around, admired
his dre~s and talked pigeon English to
him because it was the fashion to do 10.

bosom the s0f: passion burned, and the
ties that hitherto hound him to the wig

lamb to the slaughter, bnt being jealous
of his dignity he let cOncealmant, like q
worm, gnaw ut his b0~Om and told his
affection TO no one. In few days after
meeting the young girl, he and his conf
IaniOns had to leave the city to return
to their tril,es. He felt that rather than

in the mental p,ralyzation that follow

tile things that formerly pleased him
had ceased to lie attractive, and the
smiles "f the youg people who crowded
around had lost their charms entirely.
With the departure of his faith in his
own fascination, had gone his appetite,
and he felt very miserable, indeed. 1t
was a great way to the capital city: but
distance didn't enter into his calctila-
tjons. He wanted the pale-f'ce beauty,
