| 1t was on the ensuing morning that
Starlight visited the lodge where the
interview already mentioned took place
between her and Allan Norwood.
There was great commotion ut the
village when it was known that Fanny
| Harrod had escaped. A council was i'm
mediately called to see what should be
DONE While they were gravely smOk-
ing the pipe. as an indispensable pre-
liminary. Otter-Lifter appeared among
| them. One warrior arose and advised
that the warriors be punished who had
been appointed to watch over the cap
tive. which duty they had not faithfully
performed. Another recommended that
small war party be instantly dispatch
ed in pursuit of the captive. Otter
LITTER arose calmly to his feet and looked
deliberately around upon the faces of the
assembled chiefs and warriors.
1T was my hand that liberated the
young white woman" he said. 81 re-
| joice that l did so. because it is deed
that will give me pleasure whenever

an escort of my warriors; and by. this
time she is far beyond pursuit. If these

ture had been touched, and the man
"who cared only for his word his rifle
