black hair hung 20 her waist,
and was decorated with red feathers,
and her soft dress of doeskin was
bright with figures painted by the
aged-grandmother of the girl.
Eagle Wing was lover of Ntne In
dian girl, but as he was cripple the
chief forbade his daughter to speak to
him. Yet sometimes the two would
meet-perhaps by the spring, as they
brought water to the tents, or in the
fields of corn when gathering for the
husking.
The lad was suffering really, with
rheumatism, but the Indians thought
that their gods were angry and had
cursed the boy. So many frowned as
he passed, and some even threw stones.
Only Wanita was kind.
One day the chief caught Wanita
talking to the youth.

lily, nodding over the brink of the
precipice: Eagle Wing grasped it in
his hand and turned to climb down
again. But in the dim light he missed
his footing and fell down. Fown. down.
right into the middle of the lake.
But he did not drown. For knowing
how TO swim he struck out bravely but
could not see the bank in the thick mist.
The water was very waTm-so warm
that he felt as il he were melting. and a
strange tingling thrilled through his
veins. Round and round he swan and
