sixteen tomahawks. In Indian file

tinkling in rythmetical cadence to the soft
low, march music. In bewildering mazes,
but ever in perfect accord, the maidens
performed the prettiest of evolutions and
from the warriors burst forth at intervals

floor was given up to the dance, and th.
"ting-a-ling" of the maiden's deerskin anc

resounded through the wigwam. A luncl
was served in the lower room and tn
whole affair was most pleasant
