CHAPTER XIX.
Ross h he clasped her hands and look
el impl rincv at Otter-Lifter, who stood
motionless in the psth.
"Wast would Stxr-I.uht and her cous
in of the WjsadoU do?" asked the chief,
coldly.
"White-Cloud and the maiden they
fall ftsr-LUht do not like cruelty; they
seek to s.ive this pale captive from
death," replied Wa:ihuia.
"And was not Otter-Lifter worthy of
the confidence of Star-Light and White
Cload?" replied the chief, in tone of
mild reproach.
"Otter-Lifter of the red race of tha
Cherokee Is humane; hut this captlre
wa oot taken by a war party of hi.
nJ he might have feared to offend the
young warriors who brought her away
from Hxrrodsburj," answered Star
Light,
"Wassahausa apeak of fear. When
was Otter-Lifter afr.tid? When did he
fail to nise hi voice against cruelty?
Who can My that he ever tortured a
prisoner, or made war on women and
children? Not a person living!" aaid
the chief, w;th dignity.
'Then why doe such a gentle-hearted
leader stand still when his help i need
ed? lVe he not see this trembling
irirl suffering the terrors of death? Has
he not a hand to use. as well as a tongue
to tslkT exclaimed Star-Light
"The speech of Star-Light Is bitter:
ahe wounds the heart of the chieftain
who is ready to die in her service," re
turned Otter-Lifter, mournfully.
Fanny II .mod recovered her con
eiounes., and stood clinging to Star
Light and our heroine. She fixed her
burning eyes oa the placid face of Otter
Lifter in silent agony of spirit; for ahe
felt that it was he who was to decide
her fate. There wa a short period in
which no word were spoken. The cap
tive read no emotions of pity la the
features of the chief.
He gave back her appealing look with
one apparently a impassive as hers had
been earnest. A faint smile at length
played over hi Hps; he spoke, and
Fanny Harrod and Rosalthe bent for
ward to catch his words with breathless
attention.
'The Pale-Lily ha been condemned to
death by the or leal of fire, but ahe shall
live." said Otter-Lifter.
"It ia well," answered Star-Light, loft
ily. "She a'tall live." repeated the chief,
"even if the sum of her freedom be the
life of Otter-Lifter. Yes. he will perish,
before a single hair of her head shall
be scathed by the devouring fire."
"It is enough," replied the Indian girl
"This way." continued Otter-Lifter.
The latter moved on, and the three
maidens followed him without a ques
tion. Leaving the little village, he led
the way to the deep and dark forest,
through the umbrage of which the pale
moonlight with difficulty crept He stop
ped at length a few hundred yard from
the encampment.
"Stay here." he said, "till I return."
and immediately left them.
Rosalthe was now about to reveal
herself to Mis Harrod, but Star-Light
aternly bade her be silent.
"If you would save her, be silent,"
ahe said.
The time of Otter-Lifter's absence
seemed long inJeel to the expectant
captive. A thousand fears and wild con
jectures had birth In her mind. Per
haps the chief had been detected in his
purpose, and the plan had failed. It
was possible that he had not sufficient
Influence among the other chiefs and
warrior to save her, and innumerable
other fancies of this kind passed In
qul;k succession through her mlud to
tevive her terrors.
After the lapse of half an hour steps
were heard approaching. Fanny and
Rosalthe simultaneously uttered a cry of
surprise and al.irm; fur. Instead of see
ing Otter-Lifter, they beheld half a d.z
en warriors mounted upon horses. Star
light remained calm and undisturbed.
"Peace! reace, foolish maidens: Otter
Lifter is with them'." she exchimed.
Rosalthe looked again at the advanc
fog Indians, and beheld the chief in the
midst of them, leading a horse. She
kissed Miss Hnrrod's pale cheeks, and
wept for joy. Without speaking, Otter
Lifter placed Miss Hirrod upon the ani
mal which had been provided for that
purpose. The chief then turned to the
young men.
"Conduct this maiden to Harrodx
borgh," he said, In a vonre of command.
"Otter-Lifter has pledged his word that
she shall live and return to her friends.
Go; and remember that your live shall
answer for hers If harm befall her."
"Come here, Star-Light." said Fanny,
In a subdued voice. The proud Indian
girl stepped to her side, and Miss Har
rod, bending forward. Imprinted a k:RS
upon her lofty forehead. "It is all I can
give you," she added.
Star-Light smiled faintly, and seemed
to look lovingly at the young girl. Fur
a moment her haughty beauty was
softened into a mildness almost angelic.
"It is well that you have been callpd
Star-Light, for I behold reflected from
your starry eyes serenest rays of
mercy and truth!" Bald Miss Harrod,
enthusiastically.
Wassahauza gazed more fixedly at
Fanny, and her expression became, more
benignly softened.
Otter-Lifter gazed at her with a kind
of mute idolatry discernible la his elo
quent eyes, and then turned abruptly
from the scene, as If afraid to trust him
aelf longer.
Star-Light moved softly away, and
Rosalthe took Miss Harrod's hand
When the latter stooped to kiss her fore
head, she half-formed the resolution to
whisper his name; but 8 single glance
at the changed and gentle expression of
Star-Light made her reject the idea;
and in an Instant Fanny and her escort
were moving toward Harrodsburgs.
Rosalthe threw her arms about Star
Light and embraced her tenderly; all
her unfavorable Impressions were com
pletely removed by the recent scene.
Tut spontaneous act of friendship the
ROBINSON
Chetvkee maiden neither repelled nor
encouraged, but suffered it as a statue
of marble might receive the same indi
cations of gratitude. The parties re
turned to the village, Otter-Lifter lead
ing the way In slleuce.
CHAPTER XX.
It was on the ensuing morning that
Star-Light visited the lodge where the
Interview already mentioned took place
between her and Allan Norwood.
There was a great commotion at the
village when It was known that Fanny
Harrod had escape.!. A council was Im
mediately called to see what should be
done. While they were gravely smok
ing the pipe, as an Indispensable pre
liminary, Otter-Lifter appeared among
them. One warrior arose and advised
that the warriors be punihed who had
been appointed to watch over the cap
tive, which duty they had not faithfully
performed. Another recommended that
a small war party be Instantly dispatch
ed In pursuit of the captive. Otter
Lifter arose calmly to hi feet and looked
deliberately around upon the face of the
assembled chief and warrior.
"It was my hand that liberate! the
young white woman." he said. "I re
joice that I did so, because it I a deed
that will give me pleasure whenever I
think of It I sent the Pale-Lily under
an escort of my warriors; and by this
time ahe Is far beyond pursuit. If these
wise chiefs snd these brave warrior
sre sngry. let them turn their displessnre
on me. I am strong, and can die like a
man: but she was a weak young girl
whom It was enr duty, as brave men. to
protect, and not to Inhumanly torture,
I have spoken."
Otter-Lifter sat down, and there was
a deep silence among the chiefs and
warriors. At length a chief who had
more than reached the period shotted to
human life three-score years and ten
arose and said, in a voice of deep solem
nity: "The yonng chief has uttered words
that have reached my heart. The spirit
of Monedo rests upon the young msn:
he is worthy to be a chieftain among
the red children of the Cherokee. I
shall pass away, and the grave will hide
me; but he will live to be great, and his
name will be known among the nations.
Young warriors and chief. Imitate the
bright example of Otter-Lifter; It Is the
advice of an old man whose way la to
ward the receptacle of death, and to
whoe eyes the scenes of the happy
hunting-grounds already open."
The old man took his seat and the
assembled warriors were deeply affect
ed. The current of opinion was changed.
The council broke up; the warriors and
chiefs pressed around Otter-Lifter to
shake hands with him and speak some
words of spplause; for their noble ns
ture had been touched, and the man
"who cared only for his word, hts rifle
and his honor" was never so popular
smong his people ss then. It Is thus
that a noble act frequently raises the
actor In the estimation of those whom,
in all human Judgment, it would have
deply offended.
About the same time that the above
seene was transpiring. Star-Light and
White-Cloud were walking In the forest,
upon the margin of the Indian village.
"I have seen one of your people," aaid
Star-Light
"Who was It?" returned onr heroine,
looking anxiously at her companion.
"A young man. and he was seeking
you. He was tall and handsome, with
black hair and eyes," returned Star
Light. "Did yon ask him his name?" r
Jolned Rosalthe. with an earnestness
that she made no attempt to render less
apparent.
"I cared nothing fur his name; bvit I
told him to go baek to Boonesborotigh
anil tell your friend yon were safe, ami
would be with them before another
moon.
"I thaDk you for that," exclaimed Ro-
fcalthe.
Before the Indian girl had time to re
ply, a rap:d footstep was heard, and
Allan Norwood stood before the maid

'That is strange! 'Much, everything.

with a contemptuous curl of her lip.

She stood like one spell-bound and
listened to his words with Intense In

"She Is much to me, because I love

"You have met her then? Why did

resumed the Indian maiden.
"I did not even address her," said
Norwood. "I gazed UDon her besntv

Rosalthe'a fortttude gave way, and the

her. With a fslnt rry she sank Into
the arms of Sttr-I.lght. and her percep

Innls McKee cast a lineerlnt and sel
lout look at the e.ut and then taneuldlr
resume.! her seat by the dim and fitfully
biasing fire. She reflected upon her own
Isolate,! an,! friendless condition. She
ondered If the woodsman really felt an
Interest In such an untaught being ae

utter nc to eentimenta that had sound
ed raoet pleasantly to her eers; the had
never had such words addressed te her
befere.
White she recalled hie e.rnet manner
and subdue.! tones, she felt herself leee
wretched, and encouraged a tremhUog
hope of a brighter future to eoeae at
some very dlitsnt day. The kindly
rds of the ecout were like so many
note of mnstc elicited from what ap
peared to her the disordered harp of
human society.
ResflM and uneaay. she eat until the
cloud were crimson with the dawning.
Her mother awoke from ber heevy lum
ber and looked about the dim and
gloomy tavern with a dull and vacant
tare. Her eye wandered mrhanleat!y
to the pot where Ballard had been left
by her huibsnd; her apathy was gone
she was fully swske.
"He Is gone," said Innls, In answer to
her startled and Inquiring look, "lie's
free"
"And yon "
"Assisted him." added the girt.
No more wss said by either party.
Mrs. McKee produced a pipe. ad ex
haled column after column of smoke
ith" Indian stolclam; and Innls en
deavored to Imitate her Indifference.
"This mode of life does not plea m,
and I care but little what happen."
said the latter, after a long Interval of
the deepest alienee.
Mrs. McKee mad no rejoinder, but
burled herself In the fumes of the to
bacco. '"The young women at Boone borongh
lead a better life: they have been taught
many thing which I know nothing
about. I ahall go there and see them,
perhaps."
Innls ceased speaking, for ahe heard
her father'a footstep. The color forsook
her face, and she Instinctively pressed
closer to her mother'e side. But the
latter remained unmoved, and (continued
to emit dark wreaths of smoke.
As McKee drew nearer, however, she
threw down the pipe, snd folding her
srms, calmly awaited the storm. The
renegade'a eyes wandered quickly to the
spot where he had left his victim.
Where Is her he sked. with a
brow already clouded with wrath.
'Gone! He's a brave man, and I gave
him his liberty," replied the Indian
spouse.
McKee nostrils dilated with fury;
he retreated a few steps and drew a pit-
to! from his belt
"Hold! stay your brutality!" ex
claimed Innls, advancing until the
leveled weapon covered her'own person.
I alone am guilty of this deed. These
hands released the scout while she
slept
Innls stood erect and Brm before her
father. She seemed like an accusing
spirit Her form did not tremble nor
her voice falter.
"You!" said McKee; and returning the
pistol to his belt, he raised his hsnd to
strike.
"Beware!" eric! his wife, In a threat
ening voice. "Be guarded In what you
do. Remember that my father Is a pow
erf ul chief smong the Shawnee. I have
only to lift my finger thus, and you
will be swept from the face of the earth.
Strike, If you dare!"
The man's arm sunk suddenly to his
side. Fear for his own safety restrained
him from acts of unmanly violence; but
the demon was still raging within him.

Cbanarlnar Ite for Swine.
Where swine ore raised In suindent
num!ers so that they ure herded In
small IndoHiires, It Is essential to
change these lots yearly If one would
avoid the danger of cholera or other
discuses. The way to accomplish this
to the liest Advantage Is to have the
swine distributed In small colonles.'cadi
with a movable house. Have the lots
of double size, using one-half of each
lot during the early part of the season
and the other half at the latter part
This will carry one through the season
with Uttle danger of trouble, nnd then
these lots should be abandoned for
swine, being cultivated the next yeor
and new lots provided for the swine.
This Is considerable trouble to be sure,
but there Is no way more certain to
avoid disease than this. Particularly
Is this plan valuable In sections where
the soil Is Inclined to be heavy so that
the filth made by the swine does not
drain Into the soil readily,.
