In de dark wood, no Indian nigh
Pen me look heaven, and send up cry,
Upon my knee so low;
Den God on high in shining place
See me in night wid teary face;
De priest he tell me so.
He send he angel take me ere,
me heself to hear me prayer,
If Indian heart do pray;
He see me now, he know me here
He say. Poor Indian, neber fear,
Me wid yon might and day.
So me lnb God wid inside heart,
He tight for me, he take nm part.
He save am life before;
God luh poor Indian in de wood.
Den me lab God, and dat be good;
Me pray him two times more.

A Human Sacrifice at Tehua
"It is the Navarra witch maid of Tegatha.
Look brothers? This is a Jfavahn arrow
through the eye of Kayetno, and through the
heart of Xahn Tsyndeb. Alone here she has
destroyed! and alone here would Tahnte the
j Po-Ahtun-ho have cherished her."
'Go yon and gather pine for the altar" said
the head of the elan, and two youths ran joyously down the slope; for they were to aid in
driving evil magic from the valley.
"This maid did not touch those dead people,"
said Tahute, "for that she must mot suffer."
"You Summer people are easily held by
witches' craft," retorted one of the mem insolently.
'•Was she not marked for saerifiae aft Tega-
thaf" 'Has she not caused tbe killing of the
eornf" "Did not the Navahu men come to destroy us because of her!" "Is the earth mot
angry that she has hidden in the saered plaeesf"
these questions came thick and fast for Tahnte
to answer, and Tahnte held her hand and knew
there was no answer to be made.
The maid looked from faee to face in the
glare of the freshly lit tomehes and eaught little ©f
meaning from the rapid speeeh. But n© one
touched her and she looked with eonfidemee into the eyes of Tahute. He had not mowed £mm '(
his tracks and held himself proudly as he faeeaf "
the man who had long wished Ms humiliation.
"ISo hand touches the heart ©f
to the sun that looked like a name of burning
worlds. And a long, shivering, high keyed
chant of the Tehua people went upwards* to tbe
sky that the gods might know that they were
witness.—From the Flute of the Oods,
Mote, lo tbe story this #aerifiee is plaeed
at about the year 1560. It is a matter of record
that human sacrifices were continued among
this people down to tbe year 1@$0, after a ee»-
tury of ebristianization under tbe i ©man Catholic church.
Catherine Scarlet House Woman
e Gospel Among The Dakotas in its ae-
,t of Beli€vingWomen,who were the heroes
iith in the early days of the Dakoia missives the story of To-tee-du-ta-win or Her
let House Woman.    '"She was one of the
who joined the ehureh.    Her husband had

had been a member ©f the Order off the
