"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

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.
Tho parties stood In the open nir, and

TI,., f-.,..., ,,r Mk. IT ...I wis deadly

toward Star Light, or threw wild and
wondering glances at Kosalthe.
Tho Cherokee irirl iianscl but a mo
ment, and then moved away from tho
spot, supporting the trembling form of
Fanny llarrod. They had proceeded per
haps n docu yards, when a majestic
(ii,tr. .1 ! i-L .niii.t flt.Mi ti'iiH and the faeo
of Otter Lifter was looking calmly upon
them. Miss llarrod uttered a faint cry,
and fell fainting into the arm ot Mar-

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.

Is always a good demand for such ani
