and his squaw when but babe of 3
years, and reared to womanhood by
the supposed Indian father. whose
death bed confession disclosed her
identity, this is the synopsis of Miss
Agnes Dalrymple's life story. She is
% stately and dusky, and, save for
her bronze complexion, bears no trace
of Indian parentage.
Laughing Eyes" the old warrior
called the girl but the white people
spoke of her as "the pretty little Injun
girl. Three Bears was devoted
father to her, as kind as father
could be to a child, and the child was
faithful and obedient in return. Prob
ably 1t was his ardent devotion that
prevented him from divulging the Sc
cret of the girls life. Perhaps he
feared that she might be reclaimed by
her real parents or her relatives, but
now that the Great Spirit had called
him he would tell the people that the
pretty little girl was not an Indian,
then she might wed white man.
Recently the old chief was taken sick
and three days later was buried at the
foot of a tall pine tree. After strug-
Cling hard against the grim monster
for two days, Three Bears concluded
that his time had come. He sent for
a lawyer to draw up statement. The
scene at the old warriors bedside, as
described by Lawyer II. r. Holdron,
of Grand Rapids, was a touching one,
After debating the terms of the will
Three Bears slowly assumed n sitting
posture. Around him sat the wife,
the daughter. the lawyer, and two
other witnesses. one n half-breed In

herman who had chanced that way.
