Among those who Wei*; lured by the bright
beams offthe Star” to seek tfieir fortunes
in the distant We*t, vva#
# CaroKna planter. Os a brave and adventurous
the stirring talcs o # f settlers from
“the States”, whom lie occasionally met, would
caftse his bloftd to tiound quickly through
his veins! StiH—he lingered at his beautiful
“home on*the “Santee” —the pride of the dis
j trict, though in imagination he saw the richer
valleys more fertile liclds of the West.—
Mrs* Ilolfc w*s a gentle, timid woman, shrink
ing from exchanging home and valued friends
ior yew and untried scenes, aftd loving heV
with almost idolatrous iondnPss, hes
itated about©n?oving to Texas. But Alice llolfe
was smitten with disease, *ul after committing
her husband and children to her “Father’s*
cave, she closed her soft blue eyes gently, and.
in unfaltering faith, “slept in desus.” Almost
heart-broken, her Rushand fit that his
was not the same now, and he could hot bear
to remain where they lyd passed together* stf
many ?iu]*py yeSrs. “lie Rad only two children,
Eloise, about seventeen years old, and little
Willie, his mother’s darling —joung to feel
his mother’s loss. Eloise#was a “lonely girl,
just step]ing info tj/e “enchanted land” of
ncr*warm heart f#ll of trust and
“unspotted from the worltL” (’hastened by af
fliction, yet with a Christian’s hope—which
her in this terrible trial, she bowed
submissively®!*) God’s %i!l, and endeavored to
cheer her father, # ajifl to win him from his soi;-
rcw. Amiable, gentle and intelligent, J'lloisc
was very attractive— but added <*>
was very lovolv in person. Iter beauty rtis
not less rare than attractive, for with the deli
cate. puH;jsomjitexion and sunny fiair of 1W
mother, she inherited the dark® eloquent eyes
of her father —
“And’if any painter drew her,
He would puintgher uiaware
* With a halo round her hair.” o <
of) O
Indeed her bright hair seemefP itscll® a lialo
about her head, for its waives and masseso rip
plPifin golden ringlets, that oil most enveloped
her in gleaming folds. Gong, sunshiny tresses
floate*d.on tjie white neck and bright
cheeks, “lvke goU-hued floud-fiakcs on the ro
sy morn.” Though a simplo “wood-flftwer,”
Eloise was far too lovely not to attract attention,
and *with hr.r, tojic seen, wa certainly to be
admired. Many a suitor of proud name and
noble blood had already bowed before th<j mag
ic of h@r loveliness —hut, song untouched, her
heart “waited the little deity, as blossomj wait
the breeze.” But now, it had hcen° all given
to one who highly esteemed the treasureocom
mittedto his keeping. Harold Ashton was a
man apparently cold, hfit never heat a warmer
Reart than his© Deep in his heart was the im
age of Eloise, andjic wa*t loved by her, as trip
ly as woman may lotc. * He was a man that
loving once, a woman must love forever. Mr.
Rolfe’s decision to move immediately*to Texas,
brought pain to their tearts, hut Harold prom
ised to cfttini her in the early Spring, and with
this they were forced to content themselves. —
But how hard the parting! °How hard to leave
the old home,*and oh! how much harder to
take S last look at the gra\;e in the old
churchyard, where Alice llolfe was buried!--
But o it must be done, jind when russet leaves
fell on the grassf mound, (lie were o o n
their way, with faces towards the setting sun.
Harold accompanied them a daf’s journey, and
the parting with Jaloise was a sore trial. /He ;
severed a bright tress of her hair, and then
with a kiss as sad, “as sweet as those by hope
less fancy feignPd, on lips that are for others, 1 ’ j
they said the last “good-bye.” Worn and sad,
our travelers arrived in Galveston, where they
remained a day proceeding to Aus
tin. In the lattuj- place they fortunately met a
family from Carolina, who were, like them
selves, seeking a home in the “Western
Wilds.” They soon became quite intimate, j
and Mr. Graham and Mr. Rolfe purchased
lands together, and in a few weeks removed
their families to their new homes —considerably
north-west of Austin. The winter was severe,
bu* cheered o by frequent letters from “home,”
and interested by the manyonovelties of their
i surroundings, it passed more pleasantly than
had been antfeipated. AN'il lie was still the pet
of all, and he wifs gentle and fair as his mother.
Thoughtful beyond his years, he was an
interesting companion for Kloise when her fa
ther was necessarily absent. The Grahams
i came often to visit them, and Frank Graham,
th*only cfeild, a # young man of noble, true
heart, soon betrayed ;yi unusual degree of in-
terest in Eloise. Not that he yet loved her,
| but in his heart “was stirred that quick and
sudden interest not easily repressed.”—
pain Eloise saw“ Phis, and with rare deli
cacy, she eon tided to him the secret of lfcr c?i
gagement, and thus appealed to his generosity.
Honored© by her confidence, the generous
Southron would have died before he had be
trayed the trust reposed in him. °
©HATTER °
Who shall sav what thoughts and visions
Fill the fiery brains of young men?”
When the Rolfcsgand Grahams had first mov
ed 0 to Texas, they felt a good deffl*>f
at the proximity of the Gamanches, but after
a few months’ residence among them, this*had
# been in a great degree dissipated by the fre
quent visits and apparent friendliness of these
“Ishmaeffc of the Blaine.” Eloise had never
been able to overcome the of them, that
was almost unconquerable, but she* tried to ap
pear indifferent to them. Still when their
glittering eyes were fastened on her, she would
tremble and grow pale with nameless dread
Frank Graham was often with her, and with
Mr. llolfe tri?d to laygh away her “idle fears.”
Among those Indians Who canto often to Mr.
Rolfe’s cabin was “Watonah,” the “Swift Ar>
row”—a your” Camanche “leaved* lli*name
was given Ism for its signification, and the i
raanj scalps that adorned his lodge,°bore testi
mony to its appropiiatcness. Full qj’ treaeht
ry and cunning, he was withal a very “Iagoo”
for blasting, lie was always thy hero ftf his
titles of di#*ing, and to h"s tales one would be*
lieve that “none had seen so many wonders” as
he. . . , •
_ o O o
0 ‘‘Never heard be an !lventure
Wut himself h;yl met a greater;
Never any deed of daring .
*. • oP.ut himself liad done a bolder;
Never any marvellous story •
Buftliiinseif could tell a stranger.”
• o °. . *
While relating these wondrous tales, hi? ha
silish eyes would rest on the “White Dove,” as
Eloise was called llji the°Canianches, and it was*
soon evident that the “brave” designed making
a conquest of her heart! Watonah often suoke
of tho““lled°Bird,” a flashing eyed, dusky In
dian maiden —the “belle” of ncr tribe, and
Fmnk declared that W was done to arouse the
feeling of jealousy in the heart of the “White
Dove.” But if this was his object,
signally failed, ?'(’ he found no traces of dis
appointment or ngcr 041 her fair face. Wiien
with flashingeye*aod blazing check he would
recount in broken English the battles in which
he* hud® fought, and *in striking pantomiimf,
would tear the blending scalp from the head of
the filing foe, Eloise would shrink from him in
hopror, until tlie gleaming eyes wguld glare
fiercely upon her, and by a mighty effort she
ftjould ©recall the frightened h!ood froifl her
cheeks. “Wat-onaSi was charmed
by her beautyfayid lved her with tlie fierce,
selfish passion of a cunning savage. Eve* when
absent from her, her little graceful form flitted
before liis mental vision, iuft # it was the love
that may be turned to bitterest hatred that
glowed in his bosom. One evening lie ap
proached Mr. liolfe as he sat 041 a fallen tPee
in the grove, and with great* condescension and
confidence, gravely asked for the “White
Dove”—promising her the chieT [dace in Iws
lodge. Mr. llolfe was startled for a moment —
•then bent his head to conceal an amused smile
fhaf quivered on his lips—but he very gravely
replied to Watonah, “The ‘White Dove’ is the
only bird in my lodge —what would ljej; father
do without her songs? 1 ” * “Watonali’Nnterrup
ted him, and with ardent words and 0 animated
gestures told his tale of love—“ The daughters <
of my*people shall holier servants —her step
shall he on the prairie flowers, and the birds
shall sing when she* commands them —the
you.tfg bird must leave tin? parent nest.”* iSir.
0 llolfe replied • gravely —‘fi’hc ‘Dove’ has a
“white mate who soon will cctne to claim her.—
‘Watonah’ must°chann the ‘Red Bird’ to his
nest —she (vill sing to him, and the ‘White
Dove’ will fldl her sister.” “Tlie ‘Rod Bird’
shall never sing in Wator*th’s lodge,” curtly
responded the savagc©nnd with a half fluttered
imprecation, he strode off info tliU depths of the
forest. It was well that the shades of twilight
hid the fiendish look on tlie Indian’s face, or
even the iron Jicart of Mr. llolfe would have
quailed at the diabolical malice depicted thewe
on. Mr. llolfe did not mention this incident
that night to Eloise, but the next day, when
hergdieeks were dyed with blushes as she read
a letter from Harold, Mr. R. laughingly said —
“My golden tresseef girl haspMolen tlie heart oV
Watonah,*and the ‘brave’ has proposed to in
stal her*mistress of his tomahawks, jnpes and
“scalps. 1 thiifk Harold had better hasten, or
the ‘White Dove’ will be caged by the “Swift
Arrow.’ ” “Oh! father, how can you talk
such nonsense ©” exclaimed Eloise. But he then
•related to her the scene in the forest. Do “com
ing events cast their shadows before” —of°why
flied the rosy hliwlics on her cheeks, leaving
them pale and white as the snowdrops in her hair?

But Harold vjas coming, and Eloise in her joy

Bright and beautiful beamed the morning,
and the bird-like tones of Eloise’s be
tiayed her happiness to her fond father as he
watched her flitting through t*he house, with
her hands filled with wild flowers. We can
forgive him his proud feeling when he looks on
her, for she was pure and innocent, loving, du
tiful and happy—what wonder that he was
proud of his treasure? Why was she so hap
py this morning—why did her clear laugh ring 1
so nmsically from her lips? Ah! bright as
• was th® day, brighter yet was the love in her
heart, for to-day H indu was corn ini/, ancl they
wofild all be so happy ! Frank Graham came
while they were at breakfast,ond proposed to
3tr. Rolfe thal they should go to meet Harold,
and guidg him to his “ladye faire.” “Don’t
be alarmed, Eloise, *\>atoioih’ has gone away
on a hunt, and \*ill not seek to capture you be
fore we retuiy.” Willie clung to his father’s
neck, and begg<*l him to take him and “Leila”
with him. The tears stood in his blue eyes
like dewdrops cm blue tfioletft, and the look was
so lil©e his mother's that 3Jr. Rolffi sat down
and covered his face wilji his hands, and prom
ised not to leave him. But Uloise gently coax
ed hyn to her s'dc,ftind soon his tears were
dried, and as Mr. Rolfe and Frank rode away,
he shouted a*merry good-bye after them. Mr.
R. suddenly checked his horse and said, “I
immt see Eloise a moment —ride on slowly,
Frank, 111 soon overtake yoy.” AYhet* he re
turned he called Eloise, and when she met him
at the door, lie clasped her in his arms, kissed
herygain and again, and whispered “God bless
my darling?’ and said “good-bye ’ again,
and was soon lost to sight. Eloise knew her
father would not return before sunset, and to
speed tlie hours, she called Willic?*and started
for a walk. At she wa‘*incrry, and her
light lau©h blended with B illie’s, hist as noon
approached, she went hack to 4he coWago, and
rocked the little pet to .sleep. Then 3 feeling
of depression came over her, and memories of*
home and motlitr filled her*hcart. Her mother
sleeping in her lonely grave, far away jn Caroli
na —she in Texas, with sift-h a heavy, responsi
bility resting on her —as she looked on her little
charge slumbering so peaccfnly in her arms,
and parted the moist. cufts o on his puvq brow,
she offered a*fervent prayer for him. B’hile
her (ears fell on his unconscious fae, she was
startled by a shadow on the floor. Raising liPr
eye© t* the doorway, she bu4ield “Watonah,” in
all the hideous array* of war costume and pain£,
Wjth quick and noiseless foofsteyi lict glided
across tl*? room and stood before *!icr, watching
the effegHns appeiti'ance had onlicr. Bending
towards Iter,*lie asked softly, “why wgeps # tlie
‘White Dovq,—why resis a cloud upon her
jhcart?” Eloise attempted to speak, but no
sound fell from the parted*iips. At hes silence
a scornful smile swept, across W’afconah’s face;
as again lie spoke —“Does the sight of the war
paint steal the roses from the pale lice's
cheek?” The terrified girl liad prayed for
strength*aud it w*s given. “Why should t]ie
footstep of a friend startle the pale face--is
not the*face of Watonah terrible only to his
foes?” At this bold speech the Chieftain’s
face soften#] a lit fie, for vain as are all boast- t
crs, he thought his warlike appearance a%d
dress had made a favorable impression on
Eloise, and that h%r silence bad been that of
admiration . Doubtless tWe eye ot the “Ji<d
Bird” would have sparkled with delight if she
could have seen YVatonah. His cosUime was,
a garment made of tfie skins of some
wild anii sell, fastened about Jii? waist with a
girdle of rattle stakes’ skins, embroidered with
beads and ornamented with tne teeth and claws
of the animal.* To hi* belt were faslen*cd*two.
little bags of mole skin containing his red and
white paints, and stuck in his I:>ei£ bis gleajn- |
ing scalping knife. His head-dress was made
of the skin o£ a buffalo’s hea<l 4 with the horns
still attached, and strips of gay colored calico, 1
wound about the horns and hanging down in,
the back almost to his feet? Slung carelessly 1
round him were his bow and quiver, filled with
arrows, pointed not “with jasper and chalcedo
ny,” but Vith bits qf metal and flints? The
• quiver was made of the skin of the prairie
wolt,*ornaincnfsd o like bis® belt. 11 is shield
was marie after the fashion of the targe of
Roderick Dhu, and formed of the skin of.tlu*
Mexican lion, with an inner pocket, in which
had been thrust many a gory scalp. 13ut Eloise ,
Was*so transfixed with terror that she didliotj
mark these particulars. Ikit the stern tisqgq
of.Watonah had resumed its fierceness when
lie rightly intciprefed the expression of her
fi!cc. o No achniration t^ere, hut fear and hor
ror plainly depicted on it as he commenced the
recital of his Startled from bis
peaceful dreaming, Willie stood with bis little
hand clasped tightly in that of Eloisc, looking
on the intruder with wandering gaze, and ques
tioning her as to who he if as. “Watonah”
spoke once again. “Will the ‘White Dove’
come to the warrior’s lodge—the Jodgc of a
riiundred scalps With an undisguised shud
der, Eloise murmured—“ The knows
that the White Dove cannot go with him, for
even sow she waits the coming of the pale face
whose promised bride she is. <! ’ “Then die,”
shouted he, and giving the terrible war whoop,
that w*as echoed by other voices without the
house, Watonah seized Eloisc in his arms and
bore her away.
“One loud, long shriek “well'd on the air.
The thrilling cry of dark despair’’—
And the poor girl pleaded for life—for Willie,
for the - terrified child followed them, screaming
for “Sister Leila.” Watonah tifrned fiercely,
and burled his tomahawk at him with aim so
true that another angel sung in heaven, and all
that was mortal of the lovely child lay on the
i green sward, a mangled, quivering mass of
flesh. “ ‘Father’ —‘Harold’ —Oh ! God, have
mercy,” “burst from the lips of .Eloisc—then
; she sank a dead weight in the arms of the sav
age, mercifully insensible to her horrible fate.
The poor negroes who were left behind soon
died beneath the murderous blows of the ac
complices of Wafonah, and in an hour the
fierce flames curled and hissed like fiery ser
pefits through the cabin. The morning sun
looked on a peaceful, happy home, fragrant
with the breath of flowers, and merry with
snatches of s*ng —at noon-tide lie beheld the
tongues of flame reaching high above the ruined
and mingled with the roar of fire and
the heayy crash of falling timbers were the dis
cordant yells of the Camauche murderers.
