timped aimlessly. She caught sight Of

they were more decent than what she

some rough characters or even some
Seminole Indians on her way back
and that she would be safer as a boy

This convinced Gloria She paid for
the clothes with the ring and went
into the shack to change
When Gloria was dressed the Sipe
boy was ordered to take her to a path
which would eventually lead her to

Just about the time that Gloria
Stafford was feeling her way through

village Shonolakee led the old horse
out to slaughter She was weeping
SO bitterly that she did not heed when
the sacrificial knife fell from her belt
She tied the horse, said her prayer
and reached for the blade 1t was
gone. She turned back to look for it.
She had not gone far when Gloria
Stafford parted the palmetto leaves
and saw before her the steed she had
prayed for.
She approached it with coaxing
words and united the halter. The
pony SHE'D and tried to caress her
with its heels. Gloria had been well
schooled in horsemanship from child
hood and she soon had her hands in
the name Of the unwilling mustang
and vaulted to it's back
She had no sooner set her heels
into its ribs than the old sQuaw re-
turned with the recovered knife. She
saw the sanctihed charger being car
ried off-and by a ragamufin evident
ly from one of the white trash fami-
lies that even the Seminoles despised
She gave wild cry Of alarm, the
fierce "Yo-ho-ee-heei" that had once
made the Indian-hunters' blood run

the vanishing horse. 1t was not van

was thick and Gloria did not know
the way. The Seminoles divided and
ran in various directions to head her
off.
In a few moments the young chief
himself leaped from ambush, and
caught the horse by the nose and ear.
The old squaw was not far behind and
Gloria was dragged to the ground and
threatened with the death of thief

Old Shonolakee raised her knife and
was about to plunge it into the heart
of the shfvering captive when some
thing about the captive made her
pause. She saw that the lad was a

grunted: 1.-THE boy is one squaw."

to her prayers-a horsel 1t was a
doleful looking animal, yet it was a
horse. She ran forward and spoke
to it soothingly. But it backed and
reared. It was not a white mans
horse and it hated the whites even as
its red master had hated them. There
by hung a tale.
The family known as the Cypress
Wolves" was the sole remnant of
one of the fiercest tribes the paleface
had met in the Seminole wars.
If Gloria Stafford, who was strolling
slowly into the very heart of the
Cypress Wolf region, had come among
them as young girl in distress,
they would have treated her with
chivalry. But her first action out
ragged their most sacred beliefs.
The cid chief Hitakee of the Cypress
Wolf tfibe had more dignity than
wealth. But he owned horse. 1t
was an ancient mustang and its man.
ners were bad; but it was at most
the only horse owned by an everglade
Indian.
At the very time that Gloria had
been helped to solve her algebra prob
lens by DIR. Royce old Hitakee was
solving all his problems with the aid
of the medicine man Of his tribe. He
died with great dignity.
The young brave Katcalani was the
logical successor to the chiefship He
had his eye on that horse and
dreamed of himself astride it. The
widow of Hitakee had another idea
Shcnolakee was her name. She did
not intend that her dead husband
should walk all the way to the happy
hunting grounds. In her youth when
the chiefs had horses and rode them,
they rode also to the far-off paradise.
Each chiefs squaw saw to that, for
she cut the throat of his horse and
sent its ghost after its masters spirit
Katcalani tried to save Hitakee's
horse from sacrifice, but Shonolakee
grew so fierce and the other squaws
so fierce that he felt his election In
danger.
