To please Inr, and at the same time apologize for his seem ing neglect, tne officer nought at tin sutler's store a large quantity of beads and several yards of squaw cloth and red flannel, and sent them to the In dian girl by her brotlair. So pleased was she by these trifling present that sin sent a special runner to the fort to thank her future lord for his kind thought of Inr. Tin officer now fan cied that In was rid of her, and had discharged all obligations she could possibly have upon hlin.
