He is paid in trade, not in cash; and when the merchant has bought the Indian's catch of fur he straightway spreads out before him an alluring display of goods specially manufactured for native trade.
Bruff, what is their third chance of seizing the Diamond? and when will it come?" As the question passed his lips, I penetrated the motive of the Indian's visit to my office at last! "I see it!" I exclaimed.
He then related the incident in the trading store, with which the reader is already acquainted, and afterwards extracted the ball, which, although much flattened and knocked out of shape, showed clearly the deep marks made by the Indian's teeth.
Sander secured his first C. Mossiæ alba, but it has failed hitherto in another instance, though backed by 100l., in "trade" or dollars, at the Indian's option. Thence we pass to a wide and lofty house which was designed for growing Victoria Regia and other tropic water-lilies.
He shook his head stubbornly. His herbs he was a medicine man who had healed many sick ones had not worked. Even his pazunta had failed.

I cried out in horror, but leaned forward, fascinated by the dreadful spectacle.
A very popular actress was then playing at the Charleston theater, and knowing the Indian's love of whatever is gay and spectacular, the authorities at the fort decided to take the chiefs to the theater on the sixth of January. Public sympathy had been excited by reports of the capture, imprisonment, and failing health of the once terrible Osceola.
But all was as still as the grave. The woman in black slept heavily and dreamed that revenge had come at last that in her hand she held an Indian's head.
