Oren tried to secure a warrant for the
girls arrest Failing in this he went 10
Philadelphia and consulted a number of
orthodox rabbis respecting the case.
Meanwhile Goldberg and the girl returned
to Baltimore and went to live with Gold

Several miles southwest of the sho-
shone Falls, Idaho, and near the Rock
River Indian reservation. there is what
! the Indians call the Singing Spring. -
This spring is a very peculiar affair
Thousands Of gallons OF water, pure and
cold as ice, gUsh from its mouth daily;
and sounds not unlike those Of a harp
! constantly come from the falling water
The music is sweet, indeed, now low
and sOfS as a fairy lullaby, now loud
and tTemuious as the last notes of some
Rrea5 orchestra. This spring is sacred
to the Indians. from one Of whom sue

makes It so
This is what Ne-o-ta-lah told me as
we sat on q rock at the springs edge:

the story were found. But the medicine
men say that it was before the time OF

were young then; the great pines Of the
forest were easily Bonded before the
storm breath and the earth had never

at the songs Of the birds and he Cooed

SO it was said of the little boy that
he was to become great and powerful

There came muTmurs Of Jealousy
from some OF the medicine men.
Returning hunters always carried the
choicest game to Mee-tee-tse; the finest
skins and the prettiest plumage were his
portion.
Something must be done to break the
growing power of the favored child. The
plotters invoked the aid of the Evil

went 10 the mountain heights and chant

the loco weed was steaithily placed in

ate and sickened; but he was so close
" watched. and so carefully uUTsPd. that
he recovered.
Soon after this council OF the chiefs
decided to make him the wise man Of
the tribe for he seemed able to read
every omen and his advice was always
found good. But on the very day when
he was to have been invested with this

1T is said that the dove uttered a
loud warning CRY when found. The guides
rushed from the spot and quickly spread
the news. Mee-tee-tse also ran from
the tepee, utteripg lamentations.
q" The bird of peace is slain" he cried.
Woe Woe!'
THE sky became dark: awful winds
beat down the tepees; the grass was
torn from it's roots; the cattle were kill

of the clouds cast down the mountains.
The people, teFTor-stticken. invoked the
aid OF the medicine men, who only shook
their heads and pointed aecusingIy at
Mee-tee-tse, who stood silent in a niche
in the rocks.
Soon came a calm. The sun shone
very brilliantly, and gave out an awful
