the Indians would do no harm, for
they thought that a white-footed deer
meant good luck. and never fought
or shot her. They said that she had
walked here q thousand moons or
more.
The youth, obedient to his mothers
command. tried to find game In the
forests, but one day he searched far
and wide without arousing anything
AS he neared the cottage he spied
the deer. To his shoulder his rifle
went. and the deer, bullet in her, fed
TO the woods where She died that
night
The Indians were Infatuated. Tor
they thought that 1t was bad omen
and in about a week they came, burned
the cottage down and slew the youth
and dame.
Where the cottage once stood, woods
now grow, and the hawk Is found
there in the day time, and the fox runs
there at night.
