The Indian Maiden ;
The :Mystery of Me rtt oelLy .lEts.
A Tale of the Prairie, the Savage, the)
Hunter and other things.
In the it/dial] village they learned that
a solitary white man bad passed through,
and a short ways out of the village he
had made strange letters upon a rock.—
It appeared that he created considerable
alarm among the savages, but the mis
sionary dwelling in their midst had
calmed them, but he was then absent on
a visit to the nearest government post,
and would not return for some days, so
that it was left to our two friends to
either await the return of the missionary,
or proceed and solve the mystery for
themselves. They concluded to adopt
the latter course.
As they walked out of the village,
Pinkywinky accompanied them a short
distance. Harry had delicacy enough
about him to walk ahead, so as not to be
an eaves-dropper to the conversation of
the lovers.
"Ugh," ex.claimed the indian maiden,
and she scratched her head with her
long sleudor fingers. "Bitc—much--
hard," she declared emphatically.

"Hold on!" interrupted• the hunter,
"squat down here on the grass, I'll jest
git the best of them are animals."
Sire obeyed, and drawing from his
pocket a fine-tooth comb, Hank went in
dustriously to work. No fisherman
ever angled more patiently than he, and
he did not go unrewarded, as his lan_
guagc expressed expressed success in
such exclamations as: "there blast ye !"
"gore darn yer !" "I've fixed you!" etc.,
to a more-than-we have-got-rouni.for- ex
tent.
What more beautiful sight to gaze
upon, where will you find a greater ex
hibition of devotion. Ah ! "there's uo
•
love like true devotion !"
"Pinkywinky,"said the hunter arising
inv., "I must be agoin'. Old gal if ever
you come this way agin why I'll call and
see ye. I may get wiped out, in which
case you wont be very apt to see
we agiu, without you see my carcass.—
Here take this, keep it to remember me,"
and brushing away a tear, he handed her
his only fine tooth comb. It is ever thus,
no sacrifice or self denial is too great for
the true lover.
Here on the far reaching"prairies, an
uncouth hunter thus sealed his plighted
troth with the indian maiden, the beau
teous Piultywinky, old lliopodillock's
daughter.
Hurrying on with our story, we find
our friends just about emerging from the
prairie, and approaching a wooded
country, girted by a small stream.
"Look thar," exclamed the hunter,
pointing in advance of them, and at the
same Jnoment sheltering himself behind
a tree, a precaution which Harry Fitz
Maurice St Claire was not slow to fol
low.

While the hunter was scalping the
indiaus, Barry prepared the evening
meal.
No scalps hung at the belts of thein
dians, and they were well satisfied the
mysterious individual for who they
were in search, had not been interib: •
ed with by them,
The next morning they resumed the
march, as the were now approaching the
great range of the Rocky mountains, the
country became more rocky and uneven,
the cabilistic paintings on the rocks be
came mole frequent on either hand.
"S. T. ISGO. X," what could it mean,
the more they pondered the greater
were they at loss.
At last the enigma was solved
One day when the forenoon was half
spent, they came upon a man leisurely
painting the mystic letters upon a rock.
Upon inguriry they learned that he was
employed by a firm in New York, to
thus call attention to a celebrated tonic
or bitters manufactured by them, which
they were about to introduce in that lo
cality, that after lettering every availa
ble rock in every state and territory.—
they secured the passage of' laws, pre
venting any one profiting ');" this ex
ample by "acts against defacing natural
scenery."
Our friends thought this pretty cute,
being more effectual then a patent right
or copy right.
They were much disappointed when
the painter informed them that be was
fully as ignorant as they. in regard to the
meaning of the letters and figures. He
didn't know of any one that did know, it
was a profound mystery.
As the painter's supplies had run short•
he declared his intention to return to
Hiopodililock City the indian village, and
await the coming of his employer's trav

behind the painter, thereupon the three
immediately retreated their steps.
As a matter of course Piukywinky
was overjoyed to see Straddlefast,aud re
ceive his delicate attentions with the
fine-tooth comb. Thopodildock the
proud and haughty chieftain, not only
made them welcome, but likewise fearful
inroads upon their tobacco.
But a few days had passed away be
fore an event occurred that was to ren
der happy for life two confiding spirits.
( Hank proposed marriage, and was ac
cepted by the beauteous indiau maiden,
Pinkywinky, a princess in her tribe and
daughter or [liopodildock the great
chieftain of the powerful Dirty-cusses.
The fond father fain would not part
with his lovely daughter, but after due
deliberation and negotiation, gave his
consent in loin. of; two yards of calico,
one pound of tobacco and an aged look
ing wood pipe of the hunter's own. con
struction.
The ceremony was over, and Mr. and
Mrs. Hank Smith were receiving the
congratulations of their friends, when a
shout without announced the arrival of a
stranger, driving a large peddler's wagon
drawn by four powerful horses, the en
tire outfit of the establishment was ele
gant, and harry bad never seen it equal
ed except by the baud carriage of the
cireusses.
The driver was soon introduced to our
friends by the painter,and iu honor of the
pride, the first mentioned person,opeded
several bottles of his medicine.
"Both it partake in any manner of
whisky,-or any other fluid that will in
duce intoxication ?" inquired the mis
sionary, Were allowing any of his flock
to -partake
In answer, the peddler produced an
array of certificates from divines who
made use of it and recommended it high
ly. Upon this endoreement, consent
was given, and all partook freely, with
out restriction.
The next morning there came a mes
sage in search-of Ham
'-ot , Oularg; the . cruel baron' of his -doyen
one had relented and given their consent
to the union of two fond hearts.
This was entirely unexpected to our
hero, and lie wept tears of joy.
On arrival home, he learned, that he
bait become the heir to a large estate
by the decease of a miserly,forgotten aunt
in_Eugland. But of course so trifling a
matter as this could have had no weight
in the reversed decision of the parents
ia-law.
The peddler brought orders for the
painter to return home, as it was the in
tention of his employers to send him out
in Dr. Hayes' Artie, Expedition to in
troduce S. T. ISGO. X." to the Esqui
maux, by this fortunate occurrene^ our
hero had a companion to the States.
The parting between Harry and the
hunter was truly affecting:, and the scene
is too solemn for our pen to dwell upon.
Handing the bride a large bar of
common yellow soap as a bridal gift, he
tore himself away.
They had intended to bid the ntis
-lionary good-bye, but that indiyidual
was in a stupor, usually produced by
liquor'; otau intoxicating nature
As they were about to pass out ci
of thc village our hero turned to
tal:e a rarewell look, and beheld au ex
hibition of conjugal unction thaf. was
not effaced from his memory in slier
years.
Pinkywinicy sat upon a log in front of
the lodge, and her attentive husband was
nutting to its best use that fine-tooth

But a single incident ocetirrodworthy
of mention, during their journey, and
even this is so trifling, we would not
take the trouble to record it, only that
we do not wish our story to be incomplete.
One day Harry discovered a cloud of
dust upon the prairie, not more than
half a mile in their rear. They were
well aware that it was made by a great
drove of Buffaloes, who would be down
upon them in a few moments.
Flee they must to remain would be
certain death, escape seemed impossible,
and our hero had about concluded that
he never should see his dearest one, and
that the heir to a fortune would be
tramped to death, when it occurred to
him that about fifteen miles in advance,
stood two large oaks close beside a cliii.

with full speed. The painter horror
struck at the frightful position of his
companion, iutentively closed his eyes to
shut out the dreadful scone.
Regardless of his precarious situations . ,
Barry calmly stood his ground until the
enraged animal was within his reach,
then putting forth all his strength he
seized the Buffalo by the Inane and
whirling the bulky animal around, near
ly lifting it from off its feet, backed it
by main stre;:gtlk off the precipice and
sent it crushing down five hundred feet.
