he made
into a pipe, and smoked, letting the smoke exhale to the four quarters.
He then told the Indians that the red pipe-stone was their flesh, and
they must use the red pipe when they made peace; and that when they
smoked it, the war-club and scalping-knife must not be touched. Having
so spoken, the Great Spirit was received up into the clouds.--_Indian
Mythology._

The red pipe has blown its fumes of peace and war to the remotest
corners of the continent. It visited every warrior, and passed
through its reddened stem the irrevocable oath of war and
desolation. Here, too, the peace-breathing calumet was born, and
fringed with eagle's quills, which has shed its thrilling fumes
over the land, and soothed the fury of the relentless

=Red Ridinghood= (_Little_), a child with a red cloak, who went to carry
cakes to her grandmother. A wolf placed itself in the grandmother's bed,
and when the child remarked upon the size of its eyes, ears, and nose,

and France. In Charles Perrault's _Contes des F['e]es_ (1697) it is called
"Le Petit Chaperon Rouge."

=Red Swan= (_The_). Odjibwa, hearing a strange noise, saw in the lake a

result; then, fetching from his father's medicine sack three poisoned
arrows, he shot them also at the bird. The last of the three arrows
passed through the swan's neck, whereupon the bird rose into the air and
sailed away towards the setting sun.--Schoolcraft, _Algic Researches_,

=Redgauntlet=, a story told in a series of letters, about a conspiracy
formed by Sir Edward Hugh Redgauntlet, on behalf of the "Young
Pretender," Charles Edward, then above 40 years of age. The conspirators
insist that the prince shall dismiss his mistress, Miss Walkingshaw,
and, as he refuses to comply with this demand, they abandon their
