and talk to her about this matter? They had talked
over everything else; but this was her own bust

devoted to Jack: would he dare to come and plead
Jacks cause? That might do with society woman,
with a woman that made a business of love and
lovers but with herself, Helena, who had earned
her living for five ars-rather extravagant

When she entered the Parlor she saw that this

The candor OF that remark made them both smile.

settlers, and Mrs. Brent admonished to take
little whenever got our feet wet or became thor
oughly chilled.
WHEN we reached the cabin gave Wyandotte
" his blanket, Ratchet knife. shoes, and gun.
He accepted the things stoically without comment,
and placed them on his bed next the wall.
=, After supper, Balser, having no thought of
Wyandotte, took the whisky bottle from his pocket
and placed it shelf. l noticed the Indian eyes
glisten for moment; but his face Immediately be-
came expressionless, and thought more about
the glitter in his eyes knew that all Indians have
great love for lntoxicants; but it did not occur
to me that Wyandotte would want the whisky. until
| happened to turn my face from the fire and saw
him taking the bottle down from the shelf
Put that back! l said, rising hurriedly
He lifted his Ratchet threateningly above my
head Ugh!' he grunted. Sit DOWN.
Il sat down.
Balser to demonstrate with our guest for a
drunken Indian usually is fend incarnate; but
Wyandotte lifted his Ratchet and Balser sat down.
The Indian drained the bottle without taking it
from his hps,-fortunately it was not a large one
and came round in front of the fire. where he sat
down the floor.
In few minutes Wyandotte the Silent, as we
often called him, began to chant in low minor key
The words OF his song were Indian: but frequently
caught the name Wyandotte The magic word
always aroused interest; for if the Indian
had spoken the truth during his delirium, the
gold was hidden in some place bearing that name.
We longed to know where Wyandotte stu
ated. We constantly discussed the subject when
alone, and l believe thought of nothing else.
Therefore, when the Indian began to chant
listened attentively, and soon Wyandotte the Silent
became Wyandotte the laxative. Under the infu-
of whisky most Indians grow and sullen;
but this one became cheerful and happy His good
humor grew apace and presently said:
Tell us about Wyandotte.

which he spoke but shall try to give you the story

She had been so fond of Jack! Why did
he have to go and propose, and spoil everything!
She knew by experience that one cannot go back and
be friends after that. Not that there had been SO
many men in Helenas life; but those men had
usually proposed. She wondered why men sought
her society SO much more, now that she twenty

Anyway, Jack would get over it, not being a

it all out to Duncan when he went back to their
rooms last night. Duncan had coddled him all day,
doubtless. Probably Duncan even construct

Despite his undying passion for herself Helena
wondered if Jack could possibly resist the bandish
