to her home among the Indians at
Luzerne, lived life of suffering,

Her entrance into the world Of art
was dramatic. One cold night about

to Mrs. Harriet Maxwell Converse in

She was so good sportswoman and
knew the woods so thoroughly that,
II she had SO wished, she could have
found steady employment as a guide.
But she would render that service for
only a chosen few.
Like most Indians, no matter what
their religion, she believed In spirits
and witchcraft One story which
she told Mrs. Converse will illustrate
this.
She said that girl of her tribe was
warned by her grandmother not to let
a certain woman touch her. because
spell might be cast. But one day the
supposed witch carried the girl to the
woods and, after keeping her there all
day, sent her home again. Her grand.
mother heard of her mlsbehavior and
punished her.
That evening, she said. the girl saw
worm, almost as large as a snake,
crawl between the logs of her cabin
The worm commanded her to follow
and led her to the witch. Then, she
said, the girl told Of her punishment
and the witch, in revenge, sent the
worm to stay forever in the grand.
mothers knee. And always after that
the grandmother was lame. Falling
Star believed the story was true.
Among her other qualities Falling
Star had the Indian ability to heal
the sick. She knew the antidote for
stings and rattlesnake bites and gave
the secret to Mrs. Converse. Take
the leaves and roots Of the wild violet,
she said, and after crushing them In

divulge that secret and 1t died with
her.
