and keep Turtle frorp moving, and gave Yellow Hair a'pieca of red chalk to mark the letters or initials on the reptile's baek. Theft

When Yellow Hair caugnt stgnt oi the White Man's tace she rushed forwsrd, hardly believing her eyesl But when she made
sure that ft was really her father, she shrieked, "OH ! PAPA III" and in another moment she wss clasped In his arms and strained to his
breast as H he would never let her got Oh. whst a joyful meeting it was for those two, at least I But first you must be told how it Q
came about 1 If you have read the story of Little Growling Bird since the time Nokomis took hlffl on a visit to the IndianVillge, you
may remember that Chief Red Feather carried the little paleface girl into camp in hit arms." He hsd rescued her from some bad Indi
ans who hsd stolen her from her home across Keeche Gummee, the Great Lake I Then it was that Nokomis begged Red Feather to let
her take Fanny home with her to live in the Wigwam and be s companion to Little Growling: Bird until her own people could be found.
In th mrinr. Chief Red Feather had sent a messencer to the nearest Paleface settlement, but many moons passed before the
good news reached her father's ears. .Then, you may be sure, he traveled day and night until he came to the Indian Village, henca
Red Feather brought him to the Refuge Ground in hi bark canoe. The White Chief brought a whole packful of presents for the Indi
ana, and another and niore valuable one for tha good Nokomis who had been so kind to his little girl! Of course, he did not take
Fanny away at once; it would not have been polite to have done so without having first a big "Medicine Smoke and Powwow. No
komis now prepared food, and, after all had eaten, she brought forth pipes and Indian tobacco. Putting on her fine red blanket (be
cause there was "Com oan v" she then lighted a small council fke and asked that every one be seated. ,
