CHAPTER 117 ' V Near where "the pwift'-rollinr' Karr!n isiique cmpues itself into the so many mouths that the stranger s ofien lost in their winding, and speks in iraiu for the main stream, was the heme camp infT-ground of the ..Ojibways. Upon ihe very spot where; their wigwams "were .built, standing, jin picturesque confusion about, is now Fori" William, one of the frontier trading posts of that grasping: monopoly, the Hudson , Eay Company. From the labors and. excitement of the hunt, or the more dangerous path of war, thither the chiefs returned to rest, feast and; ofTer sacrifices V Jo 'the Manitou waited upon by their wives and daughter?, who were veryKlave8 to, their lords and parents hewers of wood and drawers of water, and uncompiairimg drt'djes m all menial offices.

Aware, that it was simply, useless to bandy words with the girl, whom he had long and urgently sought to fill his wijy warjti, and, vexed that she should thus lightly turn away all his advances, to the subject that was nearest and dearest to hi? heart, the swarthy brow nf the Indi an grew black a niirbt, find his hand in- ..vohmtarily srttijjht: ;the .-.tomahawk that glittered in his belt. Bat reason return ed in season to control the base impulses of passion, and softening, his manner he continued, outwardly rJm. but with a ' Fire-Fly creaks like the ill-omened buzzard," replied the warricr, still re taining his grasp with so firm and strorg a hold that the fingers were pressed deep lyalmost buried ia the soft fleih cf the girl.

No. offerings ihat had ever been laid at the door of her wigwam had ever been taken in, and no Irav ever received a smile of encouragement When the bright, sun of morning fun; its I raided rays of fold, azure an l v r million ovf r the dr amy land-rape, gi ire the little wavelttMif the rier, rre-r-in? amonjj the tanffl'-d bowers f the 'am arack, throwing a halo aroun'lthe lo'y inruritain crests, and kissing the dwy cips of the Gid -cultured flowers. Fire Fiy issued frorii the screening rurttios of her l.-dge. Her tall, slander fijure was clad in the .most snow ily-dressed dee skins, quill and wampum-worked and bad frinored. Among the midnijhl bra d of her hair a single feather, torn from the great war-easle, was twined, and drooped daintily over her shoulder a token of her rank. :'Wi'h a light rapid step she threaded br way through the encampment, and d apparrd in the thickets that formed a dark back ground to the scene. Secure from prying eyes, after having wandered far, sh seated herself upon a fallen tree, and began weaving a basket of green twigs and blood-hued flowers of th moisture-loving larch. Communing with hawk.-' If she would, she could not be dtaf to its sound." ' "The wigwam of A-puk-wa is fiTe with the meat and hung arourd with the scalps -of his enemips; but there is no squaw thre li cook to grind the maiz, mend his moccasins, or welcome hjm when he returns faint and hungry." "There are many maidens in th l-vges of the Ojibwavs that would glad-n the warrior's he irt." The r-fj within bis? veins swells the hot, red bhod of chiefi-tin se-ks not hi mate from such. The eagle chooses not" the d.ive, the prcud antler d buck the cowardly sheep of the pale-face, or the high-leaping panther the snarling wclf." "The maidens of the forst will not be daf to the ,ctll . of ihe Bulruth. Let him spak th"y will answer." "And Fire-Fly ?" . "Her Jinh' must still remain to gladden the looge of hr father." swer "Fie will tell yon," she continued, un midful of his word; "he who has learned from the spirits of the air, that one from wjiose lips a promise is forced is freed therefrom by th laws of the Ojibways, and the mandates of the Great Manitou. A-puk-wa knows this." "Your promise or dpa'h!' thundered the brnwny wafiror, knowing that" his fae hung between the two that in th coTd grave she would perforce b silent, and that wih her word once pledged she would be equally so." "Death sooner than that my lipiahonld be Metered with lies!" was the brave rpsponse as. drawing her lithe form to its u'most heighth, she 1 o';pd him unfliorh ingly in the eye, and flashed bick defi ance. "Then so it shall bp!" Brave to 'he hit..she bowpdh"r beau tiful head. a if to wplcnne the comirg stroke.
