But Osceola who, before the war opened, was not so much as a sub-chief and had but two constant followers, had been the real power in planning the hostile acts that opened the second Seminole war. All knew this and they now made him head war chief of the nation. He was only thirty-two years old, but he had the respect of all.

"There they are, men!" cried the sub-chief. "You are under arrest!" "I am the king of Jugendheit," calmly announced Frederick Leopold. "Will you subject me to public arrest?" "And I," said the uncle, "am Ludwig, prince regent.
"Waiting for his excellency. We have been here something past an hour." "What's the trouble?" Carmichael inquired. "Your excellency knows as much as I do," said the officer, who was in fact no less than the sub-chief of the bureau. "And I am in the dark, also," said Grumbach, twirling his hat.
