You can no longer chase the wild condurango and follow the ros- buck, The buffsio grazes in front of your loge, and your arm is not strong énongh to draw the bow. The rambling thinder and the sharp lightning make you afraid. Once youcouid uot count the camp-fires of your tribe, so many did they number; now there is nothing left of your tribe but yourself, two old army blankets, and &@ shot-gon with the lock ont of repair. Son of the forest, why is this thing thas?’ and what do you mean by coming inty my trapping grounds and getting drunk?” “The white chief has spoken many wise worda,” replied the Indian in measured tones, reeting one foot On the edge of a spittoon. «My face has fallen like the leaves—been washed Away, &s water washes out the marks of chalk stand alone. My camp-fire has gone oat and my lodge is cold and has no mat. Kawuee ke- kick bas tears in his eyes when he looks to the west and no longer sees the smoke of many camp fires, Our great chieftains have failen, our warriors are dust, andthe wolf uttere his lonesome howlon the spot where stood our big Vilage. I am sad.” “The red wan may go,” raid his honor. ‘1 cannot give you back your dead; | caunotcover the hill and meadows with forest again; the wild fox and deer have sought the deeper giens, and no power can waken the warriors whose whoop rang from hiil to river. Go back to your lodge; beware ot fre-water; keep in nights; vete early and often, and be virtuous, aud you'll be happy.” —Detroit Free Press.

It was after dark, apd the road they pursued was quite deserted. Both men were under the influence of liquor, and as shown by their tracks their line of march was far from straight. When about half way home they became involved in a qaarre!, which assumed such proportions that fists and were cailed into requisition Finally Barnes struck Larson over the head with a heavy oaken stick he carried in big hand in lieu ofa cane.
