Now thia aounded like an alarming statement,
auggestive of scalping and massacres, but I
knew it wu only an expected dance to be given
by leveral of the northern California tribe).
The next noon they entered town in a Ions
,ur;i. ine men were uiuuuwu uu apvivu
CAyuae ponies; the women carried bundles and
b. Th.v nhnae a level ulace near the ri ver
I.1I...1 4wm and arranocd them in A circle, niltncr
bunches on the outside. Then tbey ratted a
cluster of eegle feathers to the top of a pole,
and aent A fat boy Around to announce that they
would dAnce that night, and wautod the white
people to come and aee them.
Thn attendance was lariM1. and the acene waa
strange indeed. A huge hre waa in the middle
of the ring, lighting the whole sky with ita
Hashes. The town people occupied one aide, in
a semi-circle close to the bushes. A tall chief
stood urave and ailent near the tire. Nellie and
Lizzie wire with me, for their mother waa

chief began to snap a split willow rod and chant

feathers, snranir into the rum with a wiM mnA
unexpected yell. The chant grew faster; they
traced an intricate pattern on the hard ground,
aUmping wildly, whirling, lifting their shining
hatcheU, now and then yelling with fierce
So the dance went on for many minutes, and
the Indians grew very much excited, till sud
denly the strange chant ended, and, facing their
visitors, the braves dropped on one knee, ailent
and still and near. It waa a curious thing to
see those 20 bronie figurea motionless in the
dickering light One knelt just in front of us,
a sleek, dark, psinted villain, and hia eyea fairly
glutened. Nellie looked very sober, and Lizzie
scnamed and clung to me eaying: "He look
