The Daily Novelette,
Feather Feet and shiny Nose.
lTranslated ron the Indian.l

TRANSLATED from the Indian-)
nee upon a time there was a
young lady. She was beautiful
~ young lady. with long. straight,
coarse black hair. coppery, weather
beaten skin. high cheek bones, black
eyed and with figure strong and sup
pie.
She was a perfect specimen OF In
dian beauty!I
Her name was Feather-Feet, for her
tread was almost as light as the heav-
lest feather.
Now Feather-Feet loved Hale-and-
Harty, the son Of old chief smack-in-
the-Face, who loved not Feather-Feet,
but Shiny-Nose, the bold. bad daugh-
ter Of chief Dirtier-than-Dirt and
squaw Squater-Round-
Shiny-Nose didn't love young Hale
and-Harty. She didn't even like any
body, so he had a hard time keeping
the youngbloods away from his beau
tiful Shiny-Nose.
So. one day little Sneek-in-and-Tell,
the village know-it-aH, ran TO Feath-
er-Feets wigwam and told her that
Hale-and-Harty was in the tepee of
Shiny-Nose offering her his wagon
load OF Zula sealps. his snakeskin full
of snicker-birds' teeth. his copper tea
kettle, and his soft coy blanket of
elephants hair
Th- happy news made Feather
Feet so very happy that she playfully
picked up a dagger, a bow and a
dozen arrows and started on a foxtrot
over the vale yto the tent of Shiny
Nose
Throwing her mcccasins up in the
air and juggling them a few minutes
(the Indian girls silent declaration Of
war;, she charged upon the wigwam.
She was just in time to see Shiny
Nose Ha-Ha in Hale-and-Harty's face
and follow it up with an earthen bowl.
Feather-Feet. with = cry Of dismay
and love for Hale-and-Harty, with one
squirk Of the dagger, put Shiny-Nose
