other question: "Why did you not tell
your brother of my visit yesterday?'
Upon this both laughed aloud and con-
tinued to converse with more freedom.
| The maiden exhibited her finely
worked robes and other possessions,
while she coyly took note meanwhile
Of the brilliant paint, unusual equip
ments and handsome face and form of
the fascinating stranger.
Pointing to his gun, which was al
ways within reach, she questioned him
as to its use. Smiling at her ignor-
ance he made signs expressive of its
/ death-dealing force, but she looked
aside incredulously. Finally the youth
boldly asked the maiden to become his
appeared to consent, but stipulated
that he should first return with them
to her fathers lodge. To test her low
er's faith she proposed also to conceal
him in a large par heche (rawhide
! trunl1), there to await her brothers re-
turn. Although the young warrior
fully realized that he was placing HIM
self in a perilous and even humiliating
position, for loves sake he submitted
one evening TO be crowded into the
narrow space within one of these
painted trunks, where he lay helpless
and unable to move, breathing through
a small opening which was turned to-
ward the outer circumference of the
lodge.
The hunter returned at the usual hour
and was informed by his sister that
strange young man Of another tribe
had called at the lodge. She described
wildly his fine appearance, splendid
dress, and the strange weapon he car
ried, but omitted to mention his pro-
posal of marriage and his presence in
the lodge. The concealed lover felt
very uncomfortable as he listened to
the conversation, not a word OF which
he could understand, and in spite of his
passion he dreaded some perfdy on the
part of the smiling Blaekfoot maiden.
He clutched his gun to his breast and
lay still.
Darkness came on and all slept-the
adventurous Sioux far from soundly,
owing TO anxiety and his crampeG posi-
ton. At day break the young hunter
arose, saddled his pony and went out
after deer, having agreed with his sis
ter to return very early, and, if pos
sible, to surprise the stranger in their
lodge. Accordingly, she released her
lover as soon as she could and gave
him an abundant breakfast, after
which they sat talking for long while,
as they had great deal to say to each
other
Suddenly the shadow of the Black
foot darkened the doorway. The in
truder did not betray his surprise by
the slightest start, and the two young
men cordially greeted one another and
entered into conversation bv means of
signs When the young Sioux presently
announced his desire to make the maid
en- his wife and his intention OF return
ing with them 10 the tribe on the NOR
row, there was silence.

placed his hand upon the tasseled door,
his heart beating violently meantime,
partly from fear of the sudden approach
of his unknown enemy and partly from
his eagernesS to see more nearly the
charming face that had captivated his
fancy.
Suddenly, with a last hurried glance
over his shoulder, he flung the door
aside and bent his plumed head to the
low opening. His eyes fell instantly
upon the woman, seated on buffalo
robe and embroidering moccasin.
She lifted her eyes at his unexpected
entrance and greeted him with charm
ing smile, which greatly increased his
confusion. Surely" he thought, this
| is an elk or deer in woman shape, or
| else one of the fairy sisters. Any NOR
tai woman would scream at the sudden
appearance Of stranger, while alone
and unprotected in her lodge"
who are you?" he exclaimed, atlast.
Are you Dakota?"
The girl smiled again and shook her
head.
Where is your husband?" he asked.
She told him In the sign language
that she understood not the Sioux
tongue; that she was with her younger
brother, who will soon return from his
days hunt. She also informed him
that she was the daughter of power
full chief, whose village was several
days journey to the north, and that on
the third morning they would return
thither.
After promising to come again, when
the brother was at home, the young
warrior took his leave, with llnger-
ing look behind him, which sufficiently
announced to the girl the impression
she had made.
He now resumed his watch from be
hind the tuft of sagebrush, and as the
sun was near setting rider appeared
in sight as moving speck on the hori-
zon. In few minutes a handsome
young man rode up to the lodge and
dismounted from his pony. His sister
Immediately came out to meet him, re-
leased the body of the young doe from
his saddlebow, removed saddle and
bride and watered and picketed the
pony She then followed her brother
into the tent, from which thin trail of
smoke soon issued and lost itself in the
blue air.
After they had supped the pair reap
peared and seated themselves to enjoy
the sunset and the cool of evening.
They held an animated conversation,
accompanied by the most expressive
gestures, all of which were closely OBJ
served by the unseen watcher, who
concluded that the girl had said moth
ing to her brother concerning her mys-
FERROUS visitor.
The night passed without incident,
and the young Sioux watched the
Blackfoot depart in the morning be-
fore presenting himself at the lodge of
his beloved. She smiled archly as she
saw him, and ceased her embroidery
long enough to ask in the sign Ian
guage: why did you not come as you
promised before my brother left?''
The artful youth responded with an

The flannel shirt is not as stuck up

How This May BE Done without Damag-
lag the Color.
Now that lace is generally used and
that yellow or biscuit-colored lace is
preferred TO all other, exact directions
for keeping lace that has been washed
if the proper color may be welcome TO
many. 4 great deal of the lace that is
commonly sold in the shops will not
bear washing. The pretty Fedora laees
are quite generally made on a silk
mesh and cannot be cleaned. but the
Genoa lace and the substantial Oriental
laces, which are nothing less than en-

as muslin cloth. II is not wise, how

than that at which an arrow would
prove effective. The Blackfoot offered
the white pony which he usually rode,
| but was refused. A willow wand was
thrust into the earth and instantly
cloven by the bullet. greatly startling
by the unaccustomed sight and sound
both the youth and girl, the latter Of
whom now fancied that supernatural
being stood before her. The Sioux,
however, by carefully explaining the
mechanism of the wonderful gun, and
putting few grains of powder on the
fire, dispelled all superstitious fears.
The Blackfoot was now persuaded
that the stranger was a parsonage
whom it would be an honor to bring
home as 4 guest; he therefore con-
sented to the lovers proposition, only
insisting that the youth must be con-
cealed in bundle of skins and con-
veyed secretly to the chiefs house on a
travois, lest he should lose his life by
the rash action of some jealous brave
Accordingly they set out next morning
at daybreak for the Blackfoot village,
the adventurous Sioux, hidden in robes
upon his rude conveyance, bringing up
the rear. At nightfal on the second
day they reached the village, and the
chief welcomed them Hospitality, only
warning the stranger to beware Of the
disappointed suitors of his handsome
daughter. In the morning the whole
tribe was assem- led to hear the an
nouncement that the chief would give
his daughter in marriage to young
warrior Of another tribe. Here some
hot-headed youths were ready to fall
upon their successful rival, but were
held back by the chief and told of the
wonderful weapon possessed by the
stranger called the mysterious iron"
The Sioux professed his readiness to
meet them all and challenged them to
trial of its magical powers. Contempt
uously and incredulously they offered
their best ponies for mark, and this
time the offer of one was accepted.
The Sioux fred and the beautiful ami
NAL leaped into the air and fell lifeless.
Some of the people screamed, others
fed, and all were persuaded Of the won
derful gifts of the stranger, who was
believed by many to be an impersona-
ton of the thunder.
The wedding was celebrated by feast
ing and gifts and the triumphant youth
