As down the hillside springing,
From dawn to dawn, In sun end storm,
It seeks t ho rlrer—singing.

And etermore its onward waves
The rhythmic mea*nres keep.

From sou to mountain winging,
From cloud to cloud the numbers float.
To fall in raindrops—singing.

And sing the shining spheres,
While, keeping tim i to solemn chords,
Movo tho ru.ijustic yours.
All uature utters harmonies,
And down the ages ringing
Priests of tho true and beautiful,
And prophets uttoring still
The greet lug of the seraphim—

CHAPTER XXII.
FOK THE KIXCPH LIFE.
It was the night following that on
“Lot it bo as the tribe Bays. My spirit
will not last longer than Etomies. It
may be bent that we both die to-night.''
“No, no,! Cassowra, you will get well,
and again you will lend tho Cherokees to
viotory. You cannot die !"
The'old medicine man spoke with in
tense earnostnoBB, and again rubbing the.
dyiDg chioftnin'a brow, he rose and wulked
in tho direction of the low oovered shel
ter 'neatii which Etomie lay with his head
in the lap of hie faithful daughter.
“Tho fuel is gathered, Cassola, and the
stako driven, and the warriors are tbirnt-
ing for ray life ; but I will die, my child,
as becomes a king, and the Cherokees
oannot taunt me into weakness, nor make
me cease, whilo reason lasts, the death
song of my father*. You will be spared,
Cassola ; but for the lovo you bear me lot
not my mistakes dwell in your memory,
for the Light of my Heart most only have
lovo for her father.”
She bowed her beautiful head and
kissed him.
“Yes, the firo is ready, my father, and
there is but oue stake ; but it is strong
enough for two. I die with my father,
and a smaller stako would hold us. My
arras shall be about you oven iu death,
and my voice shall chorus tho death song
of our fathers as our spirits pass out in
the flames."
“No; my daughter must live. Sho
must escape lo the tribe, and tell tbo Must
cogecs that l’edro is my sou ; and be inns*
be King of Anlossoe. You must meet
Mulntosb, and never part from him. Tell
him his deeds aro iu my heart, with sor
row for ray acts. IIo must forgive me,
and make Cassola his wife, for she loves
him.”
“YeR, I love tho white man, my father,
as I love no other being ; but it is a selfish
love, and I will bury it in my heart. My
love for you is the story of my life, my
whole life. 1 have lived but for you, and

miles to the northwest, in the direction of 1 lll0 ther'
the Oherokee territory. There was a rea
son for thin. Tho Greeks had been evi
dently reinforced, and they were now act
ing under tho leadership of au abler mau
than tho Cherokees had ever contended
against, while their own impetuous young
chief hung between life and death from
his wounds. During tbo day there had
been much desultory fighting, 'and at
•very point whero pressed the Cherokees
had given way; indeed they only fought
to check the Greek advance, tho better to
cover their own retreat. It was night,
and a hundred fires lit up tho Cherokee
oamp, far beyond which hundreds of wily
scouts kept watch, while reclining before
the blazing piles were the thousands of
tall warriors who, under Cassowra, had
fought up to the very lodges of the King
of AntOBsee. Sentinel pines, like the sil
houettes of mighty braves, stood out
against the black background of a cloud
less sky, and from above the murmur as
of converse came from tho lofty heads that
seemed consulting in hoarse whispers
about, the hoouo below; and below, in
subdued gutterals, the Cherokees spoke of
the recent fight, debated the chances for
an attack, and invoked the Great Spirit to
spare tho life.of the young chief, whom
they loved so well. Cassowra, attended
by an old medicine mao, hideous in green
paint and nocklacc of snake rattles, lay
on a couch of furs, with closed eyes,
“You oannot die, for the prophoey has
not been fulfilled,” said the old medicine
mau, ns he laid his red hand on the broad,
feverish brow of tho young ohief.
“No; nor will it ever be fulfilled by
me.”
“The time is nearly here ; for did not
the prophecy say that when the Cherokee
fought in the oamp of the flying Mnsoo-
goo, the Oherokeo would control the lands
away beyond the mighty river, whero the
nun Rinks to rest V
“Yes; but the prophecy also said that
the CreekH and Cherokees would become
friends after that, and that together they
would fight against their common foe, the
whito man," gasped tho young ohief, ns
he opened his eyes, from which but littlo
of the horoio fire had died out. Then he
continued,
“Know you not that tho Muscogees
have u now loader—Molutosb, the yellow-
haired white man ?”
“Yes, and I marvel to hear it; for the
sun lms risen but twioe since they bad
him bound to tbo stuke in the camp of
Etomie; and now they fight under him.’ 1
“And well they may,” replied CasBowra;
“for it was he who saved the tribe from de
struction at tbo moment when my braves
were driving them into the river."
“I wish ho wero on our side,” said tho
medicine man, musingly.
“No, no! Better dofe.it fighting alone,
thau victory with the aid of the cursed
race!" exclaimed Csssowra.
A short distance from where tho chief
lay k noble black horse stood, feeding on
tho dried grasses the Indians bad gath-
oi ed for him—Duncau McIntosh’s horse ;
but there was nothing about the bright
song
to her ohild. Our live*
have been linked like the troo and the
, and one caunot bo parted from the
other without death or mutilation; and
I prefer death.”
‘Etomie, King of Autosaee, I come
from the chief, Cassowra," said the old
medicine mau, advancing and bending
over tbe father and daughter.
“And what is his wish ?” asked Etomie.
“Ho leaves his wish to me.
“And what is your wish ?”
“It is that yon die on the back of the
whito man’s horse."
“I care not how I die," said Etomie.
calmly.
“But we do; and tho time has come.
The old medicine man stoou up aud
motioned to a number of warriors who
stood around tbo black horse.
The braves obeyed tbe Bignal, and the
black horse, saddled and bridled, was led
to where Etomie lay.
“Lift tbe chief on tho horse.”
The warriors obeyed at ouoe.
Etomio was weak from loss of blood,
and bis wounded limbs were stiff and
sore. He offered no resistance, made no
objection, and evinced no paiu, ns he was
liftod bodily up and placed ia the saddle,
as of old tho Spaniards placed the dead
body of the Cid.
“Lead him to the stake.”
Tho old man’s order was obeyed, and
tbe horse was lod and fastoued to tbe
stake. 4
Gasnela uttored no cry, and the war
riors did not seem to notice her, as she
walked with one small hand restiug on
the stirrup.
“Take back that girl,” said ona of tba
warriors, when they had reached the de
sired place.
One of the bravos seized her by the
arm and tried to drug her away ; but she
shook him from hor, and bounding back,
she clasped tho knee of her father and
cried,
“I am Cassela, the daughter of Etomie,
and I die with him to-night. Go ask
your chief if he daro refuse my request!
CHAPTER xxin.
A NEW LEADED.
Chataskee aud Pashka, after tho Mus
cogees had so openly refused to obey tba
orders of one or hoed tho protests of ibe
other, withdrew.from the camp and walked
to the towering gray rocks iu which Dun
can and Pedro had taken refuge that
morning, and from which they descended
to turn the tide of battle and put to flight
the followers of Cassowra.
“Where aro all your draams of my
power now?" asked Chataskee bitterly, sk
ho turned on tho old ling, after they bad
proceeded hoiuo distance.
“My dreamH, Chataskee, are becoming
realities. They would bo realities if you
were tbo tunn to take advantage of the
present!” she exclaimed, drawing heraelf
up, whilo her eyes flashed and her whole
being seemed to undergo a transforma
tion.
easy to talk, Pashka ! easy for an
“Your words come N*> late ; all is lost,”
said Chataskee, as he turned up the ground
with the point of hie bloodless spear.
“It has come to this, then, after my
years of toil and hoping. Chataskee, if
you follow not my counsel, wash tho war
paint from your coward face, and strip off
tho garb of a warrior, which you disgrace,
and I, an old weak woman, will take your
place, resolved that if the son of my
daughter cannot rule our people, with the
power in his bauds, no ether man shall. "
Pashka now stood as straight as the
young warrior by her side. Every muscle
of her face and shrivelodjimbs seemed to
swell. Her gray hair was thrown back
from her faoe, ami her right arm was ox-
tended, and, like the very embodiment of
force, she turned her burning eyes on the
craven by her side.
What is your counsel ?” he asked sul
lenly.
Do you ask from a woman's curiosity,
r warrior’s rosolvo to carry out what I
order?" she demanded with a cruel sneer.
If 1 see a chanco of success in your
plan, and it be in a warrior's powsr to
carry it out, I will obey you," he said,
brightening up.
liaise your 6pear to the sun, the homo
of tho Great Spirit, and swear this
life of a Muscogee !"
He raised his spear to the sun, bowed
his head, and then, with his hand
heart, he said,
By the spirit of the sun aud my life,
» warrior I swear to do all things pos
sible
Pashka looked at him steadily for a few
moments, as if to satisfy herself by such
iuspectiou of his earnestness, aud be
ing satisfied, she suddenly became the
wrinkled, cowering hag again.
ChatuRkee, you must return at onco to
tbe camp, and tell tbo warriors if you
oaunot load them, you will fight with
them, and die if need be, to rescue tbe
chief; though if Etomie be living to
morrow, I know not tho Cherokees. Hum
ble yourself, but watch, and I will be with
you. I will follow on tho horse of Pe
dro, the Seminole. There will bo fighting,
nud you must strike for tbe honor of the
Creaks. Remember, they are dishonored
whilo a whito man leads.them. Watoh us
an eagle watches, aud see that your ar
rows fly first iu tbe direction of Pedro,
and when ho falls Molntosh can follow,
and you, loading then as a warrior should,
will be cheered by the bravos, and uo
creature will bo living to dispute your
right to the oommand. Remember, I will
bo with you, and I will laugh at death ns
on the field I go to complete with my
knife what your arrows leave undone."
Chataskee looked at the hag for a mo
ment in amazement; then his respect for
e»dng and courage “f tho Ionian
nerved him, end grasping Ler hand ho
said, with an uariioutnesB unusual to him :
“A brave can carry out your plan, and
Chataskee will do it!”
Then back to the camp; the warriors
aro oheering, uo doubt they are applaud
ing tho cunning words that fall from the
white man’s tongue.”
Pashka led tho way, and so rapidly did
Hhe move that Chataskee could only keep
up with long quick stridos.
As Pashka surmised, McIntosh was ad
dressing the warriorB who had gatherod
about him by hundreds, and above all of
whom ho seemed to stand a head and
shoulders. lie had roused them to tho
resolve of attacking I ho Cherokees at
ouce, and pressing tho buttle till they re
covered the chief. To wait would bo ruin,
and a disgrace was on tho Creeks so long
as their chief was a priKouor, aud a Chero
kee was in theirhunting grounds with war
paint on his face.
The applause following Duncan's ad
dress had not yet died out, when Clratns-
keo walked through tho lines of bravos,
nud addressing himself to McIntosh, he
uakod with a low, ponitent voice, “Can I
address my companions ?"
“I cannot object," said the astonished
Duncan, stepping back.
A number of the warriors did, and Ca-
taskee would have been thrown out at
once, but Duncan, with his high sense of
fair play, forgot the wrongs and crimes of
the humbled warrior before him, and
add :
“It is but right that Chataskee should
bo heard."
A sudden 6ilenoe fell over the gather
ing, and Chataskee spoko:
“I am a Muscogee brave, aud tbo sou
of a Crook chief. My tribe fs my life,
and its glory mine. When I Lave heard
old warriors speak of the daring of
fathers, eveu as a boy, it roused me, id
I folt it was more honor to be a Muscogee
come you, and forget and forgive our
mutual injuries! Hero is my band, true
as my heart !"J
Duncan clasped in his strong hand tie
hand of tho son of Pashka’s daughtor,
audaohoer long and loud went up from
the warriors, and a forest of spears with
brilliant pinions ruse nud waved iu the
moment of excitement.
Pashka hen id all, nud again sho seemed
to transform as sho heard Chataskee’s
words, and saw the result she had ex-
pectod.

pressed on. It seemed they would never
fotigue, and never catch up with their
rotronting foes.
On during tho night, on till tbe grey
dawn enmo and the sun rose, and still no
wurrior lagged. Still Pashka followed,
with sleepless eye and unwoariod frame,
tho warriors nud tho fortune of her de-
»hrc-~J idol.
Stopping at noon to rost, Pedro said lo
Dunoan, “I know tho Cherokees, and I
can cuter their camp end give cheer to
our friends, wlrile I lonm tlioir ouiuhors
and intentions.”
At first Dnnonn would not liston to his
words, but while lie was debating, Pedro,
v/ith mnrvellons skill, changed his puint
and attire, and stood before the white
man a Cherokee brave, talking the lan
guage of that nation.
“Now, can I go?” asked Pedro.
“Yes, by my faith, for if you stay here
in that garb one of our v^arriors will moke
a mistake and kill you," laughed Duncan.
Chataskee saw tbo chaugo in the youth,
and it roqnired an effort to hido bin de
light. noro, indeed, would bo a legiti

Pedro left, end still Duncan prosnod on
with his restless warriors till the shadow
of another night settled over tho never
ending forests. During the day there
had boon somo fighting, lor thoCborokecs
wore covering their retroat ably.
The Creeks stopped to rest. Tho scouts
brought iu word near midnight that the
Crook camp waa only two miles away, and
following this information Pedro, breath
less with running, came in and announced
to tho startled warriors th« position of
Etomie, who was lo be burned op the
back of the black home, as »as announced
in tho previous chapter.
