e upon them. So great was their hatred of her
father that for them to find her would mean instant death.

"Fly! fly!" whispered her lover, "fly to the edge of the cliff
and jump for your life. My canoe is at the foot of the
cliff--take it and escape while I divert the attention of these
braves!"

Like an arrow from the bow she set out. Reaching the edge of the
cliff, she poised for an instant, then leaped into the lake
twenty feet below. As she struck the water Sahwah woke up. All
about her was darkness and seeming chaos. There was a swirling
about her ears and her limbs seemed detached from her body. She
seemed to be rising rapidly. Suddenly her head shot clear of the
enveloping gloom and she saw the moon and stars overhead. Just
above her reared a black framework. Mechanically she flung out
her hand and grasped solid wood. The next moment a voice rang
out above her head. "Sahwah! What are you doing?" Then a hand
came over the edge of the dock and pulled her up. It was Nyoda.
Sahwah blinked at her stupidly.

"Whatever possessed you to jump off the tower?" persisted Nyoda.

"He told me to jump and I did," said Sahwah, still in a daze.
Then suddenly her eyes fell on her nightdress, dripping at every
fold. "Where am I?" she said sharply, her teeth beginning to
chatter. "Why, _Nyoda!_"

Nyoda laughed. "You dreamed it, dear," she said. "You jumped
off the tower in your sleep. Come up to bed now before you take

the path to the tent and tucked her in between dry blankets.
"Too much celebration," she reflected, and then added to herself,
"It's a good thing I happened to see her."

Nyoda had wakened in the night and lay looking out through the
tent door at the lake bathed in moonlight. The diving tower was
right in her line of vision, solitary and black against the
moonlight. Suddenly she became aware of a figure climbing up the
ladder to the top. She sat up in bed and rubbed her eyes and
recognized Sahwah. The girl poised for an instant on the edge
and then jumped into the water. Nyoda sped down the path and
reached the dock just as Sahwah came up.

"And up until now," thought Nyoda, as she dropped off to sleep
again, "I did think they were safe in their beds!"

CHAPTER IV.

IN SEARCH OF ADVENTURE.

At the close of singing hour one morning the week following the
Fourth-of-July celebration Nyoda rose with an air of myster
