This daughter grew to womanhood, and was much loved by all the mem bers of the tribe, for she wus the most beautiful girl in all the wnrhl. Her hair was as black as the clouds of night ; her eyes as deep and as blue as the sky. Her skin wus white and not red like that of the Indians who knew her. Her Voice was as soft as the south wind and as sweet as the voice of the birds that sang to her from the trees. And from nl around, from near and far, came the warriors of the tribes to woo her and claim her for their wife. As she grew older her fame Spreads and even distant tribesmen came to look upon her and to love her. Her father's lodge was tilled with precious gifts which they brought bows and arrows, and skins and wampum and beads and war Jackets and all the other prectOUl things which they pos sessed. But the maiden loved all the war riors alike, and none of them would she marry though they asked her many times; until finally there came to the tribe a Dakotah from the North, and when he had wooed the maiden for many moons, and she still refused him, he became angry, one night he crept to the chief's lodge, wheix; the maiden was sleeping, and stole the maiden away and mounted on his horse and rode Into the Fast. When the tribesmen discovered what bud happened, they mounted on their ponies and started In pursuit and for many days and many nights they continued the chase, until at last they came upon the warrior us he was crossing the Great River to the east ward. When the warrior saw that he Was ruptured, he drew his knife from its sheath and plunged It Into the maidens heart, and so she died. And then the warrior himself fell upon the knife. So the tribesmen, with sorrow nnd tears, carried the maiden home and laid her dawn at the door to her fa il er's lodge, and the whole tribe wept and would not be comforted. Finally thi Manltou, seeing their Brief, ap peared to the fathers of the tribe and to them he said : "Grieve not my children, that your daughter Is lost to you. For I am your father ami I will look over you, and your daughter I will take with me to live In the Happy Hunting Ground I ere she can look down upon you and see you and love you. And as a b ken of my promise, I will leave with you a sign by which you will know that the beautiful maiden Is with me forever." As be spoke be stooped to a stream snd drew a gourd of water mid this I e sprinkled upon the dead body of toe maiden ; and when tbe water fell. H ere was a great ebuid came down upon the earth, and from the cloud came two birds and these picked up i e body of the maiden nnd Hew away w th It to tbe westward where was tbe mmlt of the great peal where lived e ManltOU.

And all about other Mowers sprang until the hills and the plains were dotted with them, ami so was the col li iblne born.
