They are all waiting in the camp; so let us hurry.” “Ts Sol there?” ° | ‘Yes: he staid to watch Drooping Lily, while I came to look for you.” ‘Then we'll jine them right away.” It was in the wilds of Upper California that a party of five was encamped. They had ap- fobs ee sc near to civilization that they had all fear of pursuit or danger from the Indians. Oregon Sol and ‘Nick Whiffles had agreed to accompany the others to San Francis- co, at the request of the ladies, who insisted that they should make the acquaintance of the hus- band and father of those who had been in the | hands of the Modocs. Marunyo had washed the paint thoroughly from his face, and the result was the astonish- ing discovery that he was a white man with not a particle of Indian blood in him! This had been known to the ladies, who had met him as a white man, and knew that he was acting as a spy in the interest of the settlers in Upper California and Oregon. His naturally swarthy complexion, black eyes and hair, and his experience in the woods, enabled him to counterfeit the Indian so completely as to de- ceive those ple themselves. By this means, he was enable@ to do more effective work for his own race. After this revelation came a more amazing one. Oregon Sol had often noticed somethin in the tones of Marunyo’s voice, in his looks an nearest of manner, that recalled his own ittle boy, that was stolen years before, by a party & Indians in northern Missouri, and of which he could never gain any tidings. His loss had nearly broken the heart of the mother, and the father, to kill his own grief, took to the woods. When Sol found out that Marunyo was really a white man, he a questionin him closely, and the result was the discovery that he was in reality his long-lost son. ‘The joy of the father at this knowledge can- not be imagined; and he declared that he only felt one g—which was that his wife could not have been spared to see this day—but then she was in heaven looking down upon them, and so it Was all right after all. Marunyo, the accepted lover of Juliette De Long, and now a genuine’ white man, gave up the wild life of the woods, and became a thor- oughly civilized being, the happiest of men, when he was enabled to call the beautiful girl his own—his cherished wife. : Nick Whiffles and Oregon Sol were urged make their home with them; but they had ranged the woods so long, that it had become second nature to them, and they continued their hunting and trapping, in the t North-west, sometimes penetrating into Hudson Bay Terri- aa! and returning at regular intervals to visit and spend a few days with the son and hus- band, whc has fi inetRese pages as the ‘n- DIAN SPY.
