DeSoto felt this in his bones. That the
Coosa chief was sincere, there is little
doubt, but DeSotos treatment of him
had exposed his apprehension, which. in
turn, sharpened the revenge of the Indian
The Spaniard's overwrought precaution

Coming within easy reach of the place
of meeting appointed by the chief, Tus-
kaloosa, DeSoto dispatched his camp mas
ter. Moscoso, in advance with 10 picked
horsemen, clad in imposing attire, osten-
sibly to negotiate, but really to impress.
Ostensibly Moscoso was to ascertain the
wishes of the chief concerning the ma
ture of the formalities at the approaching
meeting. Moscoso found the proud mon
arch of the wilderness seated on two
beautiful cushions placed on rare and
curiously-wrought mat. He was stationed
on a lofty emnence which commanded
in all directions, a view of imposing nat
ural grandeur. Around him Stood in
large numbers. half naked warriors, with
bodies smeared with paint of different
colors. Above the chief they held a
canopy formed of deer skins and sup

the savage skill shown in the location of
fortified town in graceful curve OF

name of the town, had a double protection

the wall which more Immediately en-

Tallassee one of their strong and strate-

ing the fertile banks of the river, were
fields of corn with heavy ears almost
sufficiently ripe for the harvester
This was in 1540 some time after which
this beautiful and prosperous Indian re-
gion was invaded by tribes of Indians
from Mexico, who. with tomahawk and
fire laid waste the country, burning the
towns and reducing to slavery such of
the native tribes as were not slain. In
point of Indian relics no part of the
country is rarer and richer than this.
Numerous relics have here been found for
the enrichment of repositories and a few
years ago a peculiar implement of anti
quated warfare was plowed up In this
region. The metal implement suits the
description of the cannon in use at the
time of the DeSoto invasion. 1t repre-
sents the type of ordnance known in
those days as the drag the heavier
pieces of which were suspended by chains
from an axle between two wheels, when

trade. For now Livingstone knew at
first hand the horrors and iniquities and
aeyiltries praetised by Arabs and ma
tives in the raids by which that deadly
business was sustained. Henceforward
Livingstone devoted himself to supplant-
ing this traffic in the bodies and souls
of men and women by introducing legi-
innate commerce, opening trade routes
where the jungle was then CHASTITY with
the bones of unnumbered victims.
With this end in view he accepted the

hostility of the Dutch farmers to all

closed, but it had bloody sequel.

a bearer of gifts. The chief had served
DeSoto's purpose and now that no dan
ger could come of him he was dis
missed. The valuable gifts, in part,
atoned for the perfidy of his reten-
tion in captivity.
Up to this time the Spaniards had
had much their own way. Everything
that disputed their progress had been
swept aside as so many cobwebs. With
genuine Castilian arrogance mixed with
cruelty, they had. marched the land
through with the air of masters, but

The canopy was rudely ornamented on

improvised protection from the sun, il
was really a banner of war. The chief
was a fine specimen of the physical man,
large, strong, sinewy erect. and heav-

and grave. His manner consequential,
