I wonder what has become of those many, many little red "guinea-peas" we had to play with! It never seemed as if they really belonged to the vegetable world, notwithstanding their name. We had foreign coins mixed in with our large copper cents, all kinds, from the Russian "kopeck" to the "half-penny token" of Great Britain.
The man also refused the coin, with a slow motion of his head, saying, "Me tank." They ate of the food that was offered them, and received a salted fish and bread with "Me tank." "Mother," exclaimed Willie, "I want to give Moppet something. May I give her my Guinea-peas?" "Certainly, my son, if you wish to," she replied. He ran into the cabin, and came out with a tin box.
"Our Willie!" She spoke in tones stronger than they had heard from her for several days; and after a slight pause, she added, "Don't you see him? Wik-a-nee is with him, and he is weaving a string of the Guinea-peas in her hair. He wears an Indian blanket; but they look happy, there where yellow leaves are falling and the bright waters are sparkling." "It is a flood of memory," said Mr.
The moment he saw it, he exclaimed, "Haha! A-lee-lah show me Guinea-peas. Her say me give she." "Then you know Wik-a-nee?" said his father, in an inquiring tone. The wanderer had acquired the gravity of the Indians. He never laughed, and rarely smiled. But a broad smile lighted up his frank countenance, as he answered, "Me know A-lee-lah very well. She not Wik-a-nee now."
The long, glossy, black tresses behind were gathered into massive braids, intertwined on one side with narrow scarlet ribbon, and on the other with festoons of the identical Guinea-peas which had so delighted her when she was Wik-a-nee. The braids were fastened by a comb with gilded points, which made her look like a crowned Indian queen. Emma was decidedly struck by her picturesque appearance.
"You were a small boy when you found the pappoose on the prairie," rejoined his father. "You took a great liking to her, and said she was your little girl. When she went away, you gave her your box of Guinea-peas." "Guinea-peas? What that?" inquired the young man. "They are red seeds with black spots on them," replied his father. "Emma, I believe you have some. Show him one."
Wharton, in a low tone. "She recalls the time when Wik-a-nee was so pleased with the Guinea-peas that Willie gave her." "She has wakened from a pleasant dream," said Uncle George, with the same subdued voice. "It still remains with her, and the pictures seem real." The remarks were not intended for her ear, but she heard them, and murmured, "No, not a dream. Don't you see them?"
