52. ‘SALOUEH, THE CHEROKEE. “ No,” stammered Jletty, fearful of disclosing the fact that she had been visited by Catamarra. “I heard from him in- directly.” “ Either he has been here, if he is really alive, or you have met one of his friends. I would like to know who it is, for this must_ be looked to. If Saloueh should find it out, he would not be as kind to you and as easy in pressing fis suit as Lam. He would rely upon the strong hand more than be the pleasant voice, and would place you where you at ao be likely to receive any more such visitors,” “ : tened by these -words, and. induced by her dread of the lings that the Frenchman might carry to Saloueh, Hetty treated. him even more graciously than she had hitherto, list- ened smilingly to his protestations, and only answered him evasively when he begged her to forget Warren Stafford and bestow her love upon him. In fact, she succeeded too well in her endeavors to propitiate him, for Latinac was convinced that wooing was progressing fayorably, and went away resolved to visit her again as soon as possible, in order to com- plete the work which he had so well begun, . Hetty felt. that she had given him a false impression, and was sorry for ity but she was so anxious to be relieved from _ - her dread of Saloueh, that she was willing to take the risk of other consequences. She confided her griefs and fears to her friend Monee. and found in her, as usual, a. ready sympa thizer. There was another person who had noticed the marked preference which Hetty appeared to entertain for the French- man, and who was troubled by it. It was seldom that Tel- likee obtruded, his. hopeless passion upon her, although, at times, the savage in his nature would assert itself, and he made his avowals rather roughly. Hetty was very kind to the brother of her friend, and treated .him as her own b r, while telling him plainly that he’ come never be any ne: r to her, o Ge sy The young Cherokee bore this vary well, as long as he be- lieved that Hetty was true to her absent English lover ; but, when Latinac came, and she seemed to forget Stafford, he was naturally indignant that the Frenchman should be pre- ceeds and he took her to task about it, ary _ = aha cComichooksscom
