In two weeks lie rvtuhnti, accompa-
nicuuvii inn, weu-nrmeu young wo
man, whom In iBtrothiceii to tin ofli
cer as his sister. Tin horse was deliv
ered, and tin chief bid the girl remain
with Inr proper owner, but by special
arrangement sin was allowed to de
part with her brother, tin officer say
ing In would call for her by and by.
lie no doubt thought In had done a
meritorious act and gratified tin girl,
but tin sequel to the a ffai r proved ntlnr
wise. In a few days the chief called to
deliver tin beaVer skins and say that
his sister "was anxious to set her fu
ture husband." 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. Imagine
then his surprise a few evenings after
wards, when he was riding near the
Indian camp, a tall, tine girl, dressed
fat a robe ornamented with a profusion
of rod, blue and black beads, suddenly
appeared In tin road in front of his
horse, and halted him.

many days I have waited for yen, but
you have not come for nn. Accord

pleased yon will semi for me ; wit tin
young women in the village say

moving Inr robe and drawing it about
Inr loins, "they lied ; I am not de
formed, and my brother and my whole
tribe can testify tlutt I am a maid."
Tin sicbt that ureeted his eves was
not a modest one, but the child ot tin
foret seemed all unconscious of her
shame. As she stood tlnre her beauty
j glowing in tin ray of tin setting sun,
t more
lady did not conceal Inr preference in
tin matter, ami plainly Indicated tint
sin desired to remain With Inr first
purchaser, but, as she had no right to
object, she had to submit. It is said
sin sent her brother twice to remon

Poor mother, she had thought until
sin was disy-beaded.
"Isn't tlnre any way I can earn
some?" and the little four-year old
straightened himself up proudly.
"Yes," sin said, finally ; "You may
sell all the eggs yon can And in tin
corners of tin fences "
He was off before sin could finish
the sentence. Three hours afterward
In came back flushed with tatigtn, but
so happy ! Ho had found a dozen, and
had carried them to town a mile across
tin prairie, and returned with a dime!
"How many of them will it take for
a dollar and a half?"
"Fifteen."
"O. dear ! Well, if the bens don't
stop laying, I'll get my boots though!"

latest exploits are by a cow belonging
to a Mrs. Lambert of Bay city, Michi

becoming very much frightened at her

while more furious. From this room
she made Inr wav into tin oat-Ior.

Half an hour later, Spindle sat In

picture of a fair, sweet fcice, that Iwtl
won his love a few years back. No
Watyitii him weep while he watches
tin ploy of light in (hose eloquent
eyes. You could step in, and step
heavily, too, without startling him.
He is lost in reproachful tlnoght, lead
ing down to despair. All tliat be had
hoped to do was vanished. Last, night
rich In gold, to night bankrupt. Why,
then, should he live? He (an hear the
roar of tin Yuba as It tumbles over Iln
cliff only a mile above him. Ifc steps
out Into tin omnalr: the cataract
irllmmers in the distance, and tin
sound of Its waters soothes and fascin

why should In hesitate?
He moves toward it with eacer
bounds and determined purpose. Up

on tin edge of the precipice, far above
tin fall. He looks at the white tents
in tin distance ; hate Is blazoned on
every one of them. He looks at tin
white spray, far, far, below him : a
hundred pliantouis beseech blm to
come to tlnm. A pause, for au instant
only, a whispered something was It a
prayer? A quick, terriblo lean, tlnn

white tents of tin sleeping camp, ami
