Two veter ans were selected to be candidates for chief, and tbe chairman of tbe council conducted one to the eastern side of the tree and the other to tbe western. Then be directed the members of the council to form a line around the man they wished to elect with tbe result that one John Mix, a man seveuty-flve yean old, and a brother-in-law of Simon Pokagon, was chosen chief. All tbe speeches delivered during the eouucil, which lasted for two days, were given in both English and Indian, as many of the young men could not understand the latter tongue, and many of thoold men could not uuder tand the former. ffUNSHINg aND RQSE9.

He had contended thut sprinkling was sulll cieut, aud Miss .Minerva had hold out for iiiimoi'Hioii. That wan long before Klizabetu Ann had come to live with her aunt. Mr. Duhbs had cfteu told her about thj quarrels. "Aud she's uover taken any notice of mo since. I triad ouce to niuke it tip. Audit wns strnnge about that, too," ho had nddnd thoughtfully. Elizabeth Ann had wondered how ho had tried to make it up, but bad not liked to nsk. "Did you aoe hini on bia own aide before you came back?" asked Miss Minorvn wheu Elizabeth Ann weut back' to her interrupted dishwashing. "Yea'in," answerod Elizabeth Ann. ".Sasty little beastl"ejnoulated Miss Minerva. When the last dish had boon plaeo 1 iu the closet and tlio kitcheu put iu spotless order Elizabeth Ann weut into the sitting room. "If everything's done you may have the afternoon to youraelf," said Miss Minerva, who was now tranquilly knittiug, and Peter curled up uu a cushion near her. Elizabeth Anu stood awhile looking out of the window. She wan unde cided whether to go down to tbe fence aud talk with Mr. Dobbs or to fo np to the attic, lint she saw that it was beginning to rain, and reflected that Mr. Dobbs would nut continue hoeing, for be had been having rheumatio twinges lately. So with some regret, nhe decided iu favor of the at'io, for, great as were the charms which the Stter plnre bad for her, Mr. Dobbs' sooiety possessed a stronger attraction. He told her such interesting stories and listeued to all of her confidences so attentively, and be uever told her not to be foolish, as Miss Minerva bad done wheu she bad ventured to com municate her thoughts to her. "Don't get into minohief," Miss Minerva called out as Elizabeth Anu left tbe room. There was an old-fashioned trunk U odds aad ends which Miss Minerva had told her she could have to play with,proviled"she kept thnm tidily.1' Elir.abetli Anu had not yet explored to the bottom of the trunk.

Ho aim crept quietly down ataira and nvoidiug tlio sitting room went out of a aide door, if Minn Minerva riiw her Mtli the Ri nif on, she would tell her not lo hn foolish. IMisa Minerva wan still knitting plneidly and l'eter purred nt her feet, when, chancing to glniicn out of tlio window, she beheld a night which Hindu hot' suddenly nit up still nnd erect in her elinlr.- Mr. Dublin crossing the ynritl lie ciiinn ou with a long, rnphl stride that in few moments biuigbt him to thn Hitting room door, which ha opened nftor n wnriiiiig knock.

Jiofore Mr. Dobba had finished she turned her gaze to tlio window and there was a little flush iu her (books. "I never had a note from you nnd I never saw thut scurf before," she snid quickly. "I sent them by the hired man." "That was the Rummer Cousin Mat tie KiuiiuoiiB was with me. Likely I was out nud he left them with her. You know what a aentter-bi niu she is." The color had deepened in Miss Minerva's cheeks aud there was none of her accustomed severity of manner. She looked d wn at the scarf in Mr. Dobbs' hand. "But where did you get it now?" she asked suddenly. "Elizabeth Ann found it iu your attic nud "Elizabeth Ann!" repented Miss Minerva. "Nevermind about her, Minerva Will you' take it? You know the con ditions." . "It is a good quality of silk," she said, quietly. ''But you know, Jona than, I'm too old to wear suck gay colors." Mr. Dobbs laughed contentedly. "Plenee yonrself, Minerva, so long as you take it."
