When night came the party eamped, back the panther that cried in the mountains.
 None of the slaves were of interest to the Watermen save the little one with Mccall, and they determined to ask the trader for her history.
 So on night when the party had stopped but few hours distance from the Post of Arkansas, the waternlen went to the camp of Mccall.
 Through the open door as they ap- preached they saw the child sitting m the freight while Mccall made fig ures on a bit of paper.
 Look" said one, "her hair is straight and black and shines like silk."
 And her nose-and mouth-and eyes!" exclaimed the other, mo negro is her father"
 The watermen entered the cabin and in course of conversation concern ing the little girl were informed that she was a. mulatto of good blood who was to be sold into perpetual slavery in New Orleans.
 1 whispered, He's a liar. The child has the perforated ears of the Osage. The daughter of chief perhaps where did he get herr"
 The watermen went to their camp fire and lay down, but when the light burned low they arose and with weap ons in hand hurried away in the dark ness of the forest taking their direc- tion to the Post of Arkansas.
 It was net yet late when they ar rived at the residence of Governor Miller and told what they knew of the little Osage.
 Governor Miller enquired particu- l larly concerning the child and when he became satisfied that she was an Osage he determined to secure her and make an investigation. for such disturbances as the Indian knew how l to make when the white man gave occasion for grievance were not to be considered lightly.
 Accordingly notices were prepared for posting on the morrow and a re- ward was offered for the delivery of the child into the custody of proper officers
 When the watermen returned to the camp they found it deserted, for Me Call, missing them, had determined that whatever the mission of their midnight travel, he himself would take a journey.
 So it happened that almost imme distely after they had left for the Post he had taken the little Osage in a light canoe, aud under cover of dark ness had passed the Post itself, pei l haps even while the governor was

to 2 point some miles down the river where he joined man named Mccall, who was buying slaves for the French slave-market in New Orleans. A trade was soon struck between the tive men, which when ended, left the lit tie Osage captive in possession of Me, Call, and Melee three hundred dol lars better off for the business deal.
 To him this was rare good luck He had paid for his investment with little soft speech to Cherokee chief, as unsuspeeting in peace as ter rible in war, and a COW and calf.
 There was little danger that Black coat would ever discover that he had disposed of the child. If he did it would be easy to say she had been sent away to school.
 The little Osage captive went down the river with Mccall. There were a few other slaves, but either because she was more valuable or because she amused Mccall with her bright ways, the trader kept her with him.
 With the boats in charge of two French watermen the voyage down the Arkansas was begun.
 The light craft was padded down stream easily, passing beautiful stretches of forest growth, water-wil- lows where birds nestled, and long stretches of sandbar where water fowl he'd their habitation. Sometimes far glimpse of the blue Ozarks came into view and sometimes q nearer picture 6f some shaded place where deer stood on the waters edge gag ing curious1y at the strange appear ance on the river. At long intervals a settlers shack was seen and oftener the blue smoke rising upward from some Indian camp.

upon pii1n for advancing his own interests at the expense of the little Osage captive.
 To this end he cultivated the ac quaintance of the mighty Blackcoat and finally succeeded in getting an invitation to his lodge.
 No pale-face was ever quite so nice the guest of Blackcoat, and no man ever so greatly appealed to the stoical chief, for the white man had a great sorrow. No child had ever come to gladden. his hearthstone, though he had been ten years married, and the disappointment of all the years had been the lack of a little one to play about his hearth as Cry-in-the-G Grass played about the lodge of Blackcoat He drew charming pictures Of such future as he had planned for a girl child and said he would give all his worldly possessions, which he repre- scented as being some account, fol such a lovely child as little Cry-in- e-Grass.
 To all his speech Blackcoat made no answer, but his words were taking a desired effect.
 Blackcoat loved the child but she was not his own, and after thinking of the matter many days he deter mined to bring great joy to the heart of the lonesome white man by giving ;Y+o Iii fo,. -oiI ha The white man can do much more for little y-in-the-Grass than the red man, even though he be chief He can teach her the ways of white peo- pie and their lodge will be hers"
 McBee was overcome with joy when he heard that the little Osage was to come into his possession, But she must come to me by bill of sale" he said
 Blackcoat's brow darkened The child was not for sale and an insult was about to be offered. But McBee hastened to make explanation.
 "Yes,v he said, T must give you something, else when the white mans government makes treaty with the Osage there will be trouble It is to protect the little one"
 When McBee had fully made clear the necessity for such a transaction in the interest of the child, Black coat accepted a COW and a calf and the little Osage belonged to the white man.
 There was no parting between the chief and the child. Early on the day she was to leave his lodge he had gone far away to the chase without SO much as looking at her, and before he returned little Cry-in-the-Grass had gone with the white man who prom ised fer long ride and an armful of blue and req feathers.

An Old-Time Quack.

Tn the right hands, it is a poor root that will not work both ways. An old quack doctor, according to the Wash ington correspondent of the Boston Herald. was once called to see a boy who had chillssand fever.
 He proceeded to scratch the bark off root, and put some in one glass of water and some in another glass of water.
 Give the medicine in this glass for the chills,, he then said to the lads mother, but give this in the other glass when the fever comes on.'
 But, doctor" the mother protested "it is exactly the same in both glasses"
 'Oh, not at all" declared the uuack,
 But I saw you scrape the bark of the same root and put it in each glass"
 Yes admitted the quack, smooth, ly, but you didn't see how I done it, my dear lady. This for the chills :. scrape up on the root, and that makes it high cockalorum. This for the fever l scrape down on the root, and that makes it low cockahighrum."

HOT ONIONS FOR PNEUMONIA.
Dread Disease Robbed Of Its Terrors
by Simple Remedy.

Owing to the prevalence OF pneu-
monia and the great mortality which
attends its ravages during the winter
and spring, several boards of health
in northern New Jersey have been TAX
ing measures to protect the citizens of
their towns from the disease. The
health board of Washington. N. j., has
published a remedy which is said to
be sure cure for pneumonia, and
other health boards are looking into
the matter with a view Of having the
same thing published for the good Of
the general public. This is the pub
lication as 1t has appeared in the pa
pers of Washington:
Take six or ten onions, according
to size, and chop fine. put in a large
spider over a hot fire, then add the
same quantity Of rye meal and vine
gar enough to form a thick paste. In
the meanwhile stir 1t thoroughly. let
ting 1t simmer five or ten minutes.
Then put in a cotton bag large enough
to cover the lungs and apply to chest
as hot as patient can bear. In about
ten minutes apply another. and thus
continue by reheating the poultices,
and in few hours the patient will be
out of danger. This simple remedy
has never failed to cure this too-often
fatal malady. Usually three or four
applications will be sufficient, but con-
tinue always until the perspiration
starts freely from the chest. This rem
edy was formulated many years ago
by one OF the best physicians New
England has ever known, who never
lost a patient by the disease. and won
his renown by simple remedies"
