"And er did you marry these two ladies?" inquired Tutt apologetically. "Sure!" responded Higgleby without hesitation. "May I ask why?" "Why not?" returned Higgleby. "I'm a traveling man." "Look here," suddenly demanded Tutt. "Were you ever a lawyer?" "Sure I was!" responded Mr. Higgleby. "I was a member of the bar of Osceola County, Florida." "You don't say!" gasped Tutt.
"Well, I guess 'Osceola the Seminole' lived in Florida, and it's tropical, and pirates and monkeys are tropical too, ain't they?" Just then the tea-bell rang, and the children ran in to take the paper which they had been reading to their father, and to eat their last supper in the little old house that had always been their home. Mr.
"There are thrilling camp fire tales of Osceola, the brilliant, handsome young Seminole chief who blazoned his name over the pages of Florida history, but here among Osceola's kinsmen, pages are unnecessary. The sagas of the tribe are handed down from mouth to mouth to stir the youth to deeds of daring. Keela, like Osceola, had a white father and a Seminole mother.

About the first of June Osceola was one day on a quiet errand of trading at Fort King.
In the council the slender, energetic, young warrior sat next to the fat, inactive old chief, Micanopy. Osceola had no right to speak in council, but there was no man there who had more influence. If Micanopy wavered under the stern eye of the white man, he heard the voice of Osceola in his ear and did the young man's bidding. Micanopy denied signing the treaty of Payne's Landing.
In another part of the fort is a cell in which Osceola, the celebrated Indian chief, was once imprisoned, in company with another chief named Wild Cat.
And the fish darted off, leaving a trail of crimson in the clear water and dragging the boat behind it; for the boy clung to the end of the spear and soused the wounded fish in the water until its strength was exhausted. Then with the help of a friend he dragged it into the boat, and began to watch for another fish. Osceola was so energetic that he enjoyed work for its own sake.
On reaching St. I found General Steels at Sedalia with his regiments scattered about loosely; and General Pope at Otterville, twenty miles back, with no concert between them. The rebel general, Sterling Price, had his forces down about Osceola and Warsaw.
