"Arise!" said Star-Light. Uosalihe lifted her head languidly. Phe had lain in the o.inoe she know not how long. Tho voice of the Indian girl recalled lior from a state bordering on unconsciousness. Slio looked around lior like ono dreaming an. I wondering where she was. The birchen vessel touched tho shore. "Stop out." said Star-LIght. and Ko salthe obeyed in silence. Th Indian maiden drew- t lie canoe out of the water nml secreted it among the reeds anil bushes. That operation being eonipletel. she Motioned to Kosalthe to follow her Ami walked with noiseless nml gliding foot steps into the forest. Star-Light proceed ed in this manner until our heroine xya? nearly exhausted. and could with diffi culty keep pace with her more practiced conductress; which the hitter perceiving, vent forward more slowly. stopping often to assist her over rough places. The way was so dirk and lonely that Kosalthe' queried whether a human foot ever had pressed that soil before, or whether a humau voice ever broke the stillness of the solemn woods. They reached an Indian hut or lodge, and it was a spot so hemmed In by stupendous forests, that it seemed to Ko salthe completely hidden from the ob servation of the living. The maidens entered the lodge; It was without an occupant. Star-Light poiut ed to a couch of skins, and our heroine was glad to avail herself of the privilege of resting upon it; while the former kin dled a fire and made preparations for cooking a meal. Kosalthe was aroused from an uneasy slumber produced by exhaustion, and food set before her. Of these Tlands she rartook without hesitation, resolved to appear as unconcerned and heroic as possible before her strange companion. While she was thus employed Star Light was busily engaged in compound ing various paints, for what purpose Kosalthe was at a loss tJ conceive. When the latter had ceased eating, and pushed the food from her, the Indian maiden approached with the pigments she had prepared, and the object became appar ent. Kosalthe drew back In alarm. "Foolish maiden!" exclaimed Star Light. -What do you fear? Water will make these colors disappear. What I am about to do is Decessary to your safety. I must make you look like one of my people." "Swear .that yon will keep faith with me, and that I shall return la safety to Boonesborough." said Rosalthe. "I swear." returned Star-Light. "By the Great Spirit." "Then I submit; do with me as you will" "White Cloud is proud," said the In dian girl, after a pause. "She Is vain of her beauty; she fears that these col ors will destroy it, so that Smooth Tongue will no longer love her." "I am ready put it on," replied Ro salthe, submitting herself patiently to Star-Light. The Cherokee girl gazed an Instant at the handsome features of Rosalthe, and sighed. "Star-Light is sad and unhappy," said our heroine, kindly. "Smooth-Tongue lias made her heart heavy by his deceit. Let her forget him; he is bad." "Forget bim, that White-Cloud may remember him:" retorted the Indian girl, angrily. "Star-Light is wrong; jealousy and gTlef have blinded her eyes. But the time will come when she will see clear ly," replied Rosalthe. The heart of Star-Light seemed to relent; she commenced laying the colors upon Rosalthe's face with no ungentle hand, while the latter sat uncomplain ingly before the blazing fire, that she might see to complete the novel opera tion. When this part of the singular toilet was finished, the Indian girl pro ceeded to unfasten her hair, which was confined by band, and let It fall un restrained over her neck and shoulders. In a short time Rosalthe's dark tresses were arranged to suit the fancy of Was eahauza. From a willow basket. In one corner of the lodge, she produced an Indian dress, In all respects like her own. Our heroine made no objections, but suffered herself to be attired In the cos tume of savage life. When the whole was completed, Star-LIght herself looked at her with wonder and admiration; for Kosalthe appeared quite as charming In her new apparel as in her own legitimate style of dress. "GoodI" exclaimed Star-LIght, holding a small mirror before her unresisting captive. Rosalthe glanced at the Image reflected, and could not repress an In voluntary exclamation of astonishment. "You'll be jealous of me, now, I'm sure," she said, with a faint smile. "If I thought you could speak the truth. I should not hate you," rejoined Star-LIght, a portion of her former sternness returning. "Let Star-LIght and White-Cloud be friends," said Rosalthe, In a kindly tone The maiden made no reply, but taking Rosalthe s hand, led her from the lodge "There is a village not far from here." said the former, when tbey had walked a short distance. "You will be safe there, for you shall dwell lu my lodge, and I am the daughter of a pow erful chief, xou must not try to escape, for that might bring evil upon you I will tell our young men that you come from our cousins, the wyanaots, on ac count of a young chief who loved you, but whom you despised. This tale will account for your appearance among us If you follow my directions. Speak to 00 one, ana iimwm m CHAPTER XIII. A walk of half an hour brought the ....i.ton. to the Chorokee viuaga, wnicn consisted of about twenty lodges, being pnly a minor brancn or mat ouwe yuwea- fnl nation. Star-LIght was passing rapidly among n.. h.,t. rn owed br uosaune, wueu a tall and majestic figure appeared la tbj narrow and well-beaten path that wound in a serpentina manner from lodge to ROBINSON "Star-Light has been abroad!" he said, inquiringly. "There is starlight all above you. replied tho Indian girl, carelessly. "But not tho Star-Light that is more pleasant to Otter-l.lfter than the bright ness of day," returned the Indian. "The bold chief of tho Chorokeos will make me sad," said Star-Light. "He would not willingly darken tho rays of Joy that should continually stream up from your heart, nml beam from your eyes," rejoined Otter-Lifter. "You huvo not noticed our sister; she comes from our cousins, tho Wyandot. She Is called White Cloud." "The daughters of the Wyandots are omoly," tvturnod Otter-I.ifter. giving Kosalthe a searching glance. "White- Cloud Is welcome: she looks like tho sis ter of Star-Light." "Otter-Lifter has sharp eyes!" retort oil Star-LIght. coldly. "May no cloud larger than that ever ome between Otter Lifter and Star- LIght." replied the chief, pointing to Rosalthe. "The Cherokee chief Is making love to my cousin!" exclaimed the Indian girl, with warmth. Otter-Lifter turned away with a smile, and the maidens passed on to the lodge near the center of the village. The lodge was a large one, divided Into two com partments by buffalo skins suspended from the top, aud secured at the bottom by sticks driven Into the earth. In one place a skin was left to serve the pur pose of a door, and through which Star- LIght conducted her captive. "This is my father's lodge," said the Indian girl. "lie Is one of the chiefs. aud Is called Gitshewa, or Strong-Voice., because his shout Is so terrible In battle. Being a noted man, his lodge is double. as you see, and this part belongs to me and Monon. Monon Is my sister." The person last mentioned was seated on a mat near the fire; and when Star LIght, mentioned her name, she arose and regarded Rosalthe with as much curiosity as was In keeping with Indian stocism, and possibly, a little more. "'TSs White-Cloud," said Star-LIght. Rosalthe seated herself on a mat, and examined Monon more particularly. She was younger than her sister, and bore a striking resemblance to ber. She was fair, but her beauty was of a gentler cast than Star-Light's; and our heroine took courage from the fact, and hoped she would be able to win her friendship. The three maidens being seated before the fire, did little else, for a time, than to throw furtive glances at each other. Presently Star-LIght and her sister began to converse in the Indian tongue, and being somewhat familiar with the language, Rosalthe soon perceived that they were talking about a white captive that one of their war parties of young men had taken at Harrodsburg. This riveted her attention, and she listened with breathless Interest to all that was said. Her sympathies were more com pletely enlisted In the subject when she heard the prisoner was a young girl, and already condemned to death. Rosalthe could control her feelings no longer. She asked why Otter Lifter, be ing a humane chief, permitted such cru elties, to which Star-Light replied that he had nothing to do with the matter, the captive having been taken by a party of young braves, and to retaliate on the settlers at Harrodsburg for the loss of one of their number. "But has not Otter-Lifter or your father power to save the poor girl?" In quired Rosalthe. Star-Light made no answer, but loolt ed steadily at the fire. "Did not the Great Spirit Intend that the pale and red faces should be perpet ually enemies?" asked Monon. "No; it is His will that all men should be brethren, and dwell together In friend ship," replied Kosalthe. "That would be best, It seems to me; but If It had been the will of the Great Spirit It would have been so; for his power is greater than man's," answered Monon. "The fate of that unhappy young woman makes me miserable!" exclaimed our heroine, and lying down upon the couch of buffalo skins that had been spread for her, she vainly endeavored to rest. The Imperfect slumbers that vis ited her at periods were disturbed by dreamy vagaries. It was about mid night when she felt a touch upon her arm. She opened her eyes with a start, and beheld Star-Light beside her. "If you would see the white captive, arise and follow me," said the Indian girl. Rosalthe lost no time In obeying; she arose and followed her from the lodge, while Monon remained sitting by" the fire. Without a word being uttered by either party, they approached the spot where the unfortunate captive was wait ing the execution of the sentence which had been pronounced upon her by her Judges. Two warriors, lay extended upon the ground near the door of the lodge, who appeared to be sleeping soundly, btur Light paused, evidently somewhat sur prised at what she beheld. "The Great Spirit favors us," she said in a low voice. "The warriors are full of firewater they are drunken." Star-LIght passed on, stepping lightly within a few Inches of the unconscious watchers. Making a gesture for Rosalthe to Im itate her example, she glided Into the lodge. The prisoner was sitting near a smoldering fire, her bands and feet tight ly bound with thongs of deer skin. She looked op with an exclamation of aston ishment The Instant that Rosalthe caught glimpse of the sorrowful face that was turned toward her, she sprang forward and embraced the doomed maid en, exclaiming, "Fanny HarrodI" The captive uttered no words of rec ognition, but gated at Rosalthe In mute surprise. "Mlnno Monedol" said Star-Light, In a suppressed but suergetlo manner, "What are you doing? Is this a time to embrace and weep 7 Come away, White-Cloud the Drooplng-Lily does not know you." BUf-Llght grasped Rosalthe by the arm and drew hor nway from the cap tive; with a knife she hud severed (lie thongs that bound hor limbs, and bade her stand up. This ilone, raising her hand warniugly, she stepped to the door and looked n moment at tho warriors before It. Satisfied, evidently, with the result of her examination, she returned, and took Fanny llarrod by tho hand, on. I led her from tho lodge.

Joel l.ngston reached IV'ouostiorough much exhausted from the hiss of blond; but lie wns not si weak ns to bo till able to give a very extraordinary ac count of what had transpired. Tho restraint which had boon Imposed upon the Frenchman's actions proved by no means agreeable. lie felt that ho was in danger, and that many of his plans wtro likely to fail. Ho attributed all his present dittlcult ies to young Nor wood, aud resolved to be fully revenged upon him. He paced tho rough floor of the block-house until near midnight, de vising plans of escape and retaliation. Tho pioneers were In their cabins. and the Frenchman was tho solo occu pant of the structure. The dixr which opened Into tho Inclosuro was guarded by Andrew, who was soon to be relieved by Kxiiil!te Kbony. That It would be possible to corrupt the simple black aud escape was an idea that naturally crept Into the mind of Le Bland. The result of this conception was tho following con versation between the parties. "Andrew?" said the Frenchman, In a low volc, putting his mouth to a loop hole. The honest African was somewhat comatose at that time; but tho sound Instantly aroused him, ami caused him to look around In alarm. Le Bland re peated the name. "Am dat you spokin?" said Androw. The prisoner answered In the affirma tive without delay. "Don't 'dress yerself to me," returned Andrew, with some loftiness of manner. The Frenchman gnashed his tooth with anger, and wished, for the moment, above ail other things, for the privilege of wringing the negro's neck. "But, my good Andrew, this misfor tune of mine should not Interrupt our friendship," added the prisoner In a dep recating tone. "Die chile am berry mnch fat-l-gued, and doesn't want to hear no low re marks," said Andrew, yawning. "Come, Monsieur Andrew, don't be hard on a person who has been unfortu nate." "Stop dat talkin' dar; I'm gwlne to de compose some poetry. What will rhyme wlrd 'skies, you French feller in dar?" asked Andrew after a short silence. "Eyes," replied Le Bland, thinking that perhaps It would be better to humor his mood. "Dar fust line am dis," resumed the negro, "Dar moon am sailin' In de skies." "But can't compare wld Dinah's eyes," added Le Bland. "Dat am berry good," quoth Andrew, much pleased with the lines. "Listen," continued the Frenchman; "I'll assist you to compose some lines on Dinah's eyes, if you'll Just let me out of this ridiculous place. Pot-try Is the sure road to the female heart. Andrew, you are a poet and a man of feeling." "Ye-s, I know dat," said the negro, highly gratified by the compliment to his head and heart. "The fact of tho case Is, that I am vilely slandered and villainously tra duced. It Is necessary In order to vin dicate my character, that I should es cape this block house. Now It seems to me, that a man of your sensibility must pity me, more especially when I assure you that I will give you a handsome sum of money for your services." "Money!" exclaimed Andrew, eagerly. "Yes, Andrew; good, hard, silver pieces." "Dat alters de clrkumstance. Poke out des money frew der hole," responded Andrew readily. tTo be continued.) C'llnar to Their Secret. BlshoD Hanlon, of Uganda, In de scribing some of bis experience In Cen tral Africa, said recently that, though many of the medicine men bad been converted, tbey could not be Induced to carry their confession so far aa to divulge their undoubted valuable rem edies for native disease.

Kept Iter Vow of Silence. The case of Josephine Varlllo has created a good deal of Interest in Par is. Six years ago In resentment at a sentence of Imprison ment, she vowed she would never speak again. She kept that vow, and recently the doc tors discovered that she hud actually become dumb.

But It Is ciuully Important that their en vlroment be right, w rites a New York farmer In American Agriculturist. A fa nn that Is naturally poor and grows poor crops can only develop stock of poor iliillty. I Hin positive of this. The farm on which my cattle are kept Is considered one of the best In tho county and Is not getting any poorer with the large amount of manure my stock make. It Is not what could bo called high ground, but almost level and well drained. This soil Is under laid with limestone, similar to tho limestone and blue grass lands of Ken tucky, that have long been famous for tho stock that came from them.

The "nine thing applies to fruit. It would !) excusable If there were no other sorts, but when there are a dozen more or less far better than the varieties of fered It Is strange, Indeed, they are not grown. A family well known to the writer was especially fond of musk melons and bought them in largo quan tities until all that were offered them were so poor In iiunllty tbey stopped using them and the producer lost valu able trade. The Honey melon, which has been tested for three years past, Is one of the promising new sorts. It Is a nicely formed melon, tho skin green and the flesh a yellowish green. The flesh Is firm and deep and of a - -'"-liWrV V'-wa1 - IV' HOMY Ml'8KMKIOIt. sweet, spicy flavor, decidedly pleasing to the taste. If It does as well In gen eral planting as on small plats, nml there Is no good reason why It should not, It will be a variety that should be extensively planted In all sections where the muskmelon may bo grown. It will certainly please the consumer. To Keep Sweet Potatoes. When you have no cellar that will keep all tho sweet potatoes you need, wash and fill n boiler full of potatoes, cover with cold water, place them over the flro and boll until you can pierce them with a fork. Remove from boiler and scrape tho peeling off; slice very thin and spread on news paper nnd dry them In tho sun like fruit Boak before cooking.

Ilemand for Trotter. The breeding of hackneys may an swer for men of great wealth and large Incomes, but the average Ameri can farmer will find It much more profitable to breed from the best of trotting stock, says American Cultiva tor. He should aim to produce ani mals of good size, high Intelligence, pleasant disposition, a pure trotting gait and high, all round action. Thore Is always a good demand for such ani mals and at prices that will insure a profit to the man who breeds and rais es them, provided they are properly educatiHl to harness and well fitted for the market. Wheat the Ural Sheep Food. Rome of the experiment stations find that a pound of wheat In feeding has more nutriment than a pound of any other grain. In corn there Is 8 per cent of digestible protein, barley 8.01) per cent, oats D.il.l per cent, rye 9.12, while wheat has 10.23 per cent. An Imgllsh authority estimates wheat fed to lambs Is worth about 70 cents per bushel. The Indiana station real ized 77 cents a bushel for wheat fed to sheep. Ilooia flood for I'oullrr.
