were low and earnest, and Coqualla list
ened in silence. He went on, and spokH'
more freely, but still in whisper, and
when he had done, the princess placed
her arms about his neck and wept. He,
too, wound his arms about the 1.-the form
of his companion and pressed her to his
bosom; and from that moment their loves
were reciprocal.
CoquaIla hurried away from the prison,
and when she returned, she brought with
her the dress Of a Little Sun Of the
Natchez, and an earthen bottle. White
Hand was soon arrayed in the Indian
garb, and then the princess proceeded to
battle his face. arms and feet with a
fluid that was contained in the bottle.
1t was a preparation of the outer cover
ing of the hickory nut, and some pecu-
liar root, which gave the color OF the
red mans skin.
Thus arrayed and metamorphosed, Co
qualla took her lover by the hand and led
him forth. Not far from the temple was
the house Of Stung Serpent. 1t was, like
all the other dwellings, of an oblong form,
the walls built of rough timber, made
tight by a cement formed Of clay and
Spanish moss, with a roof Of reeds and
vines very skillfully interviewer upon
Frame and made tight by the same kind
of cement that formed the walls. To this
house White Hand was led. and when
he entered, he found that not only were
all of Stung Serpent's family present,
but also the Great Sun and his wives.
