DANGER IN THE DARK. 297 and remarkable firmness, with, however, a single exception, poor Wimple, he boo-hooed ! Stouter hearts than his have oft given way to despair, and that too under lighter trials. The chief sternly refused to give them any other satisfaction as to what would likely be their fate, than to inform them, they were bound for Red river. The marauders proceeded with their captives and their booty about a half day's journey, when calling a halt, they encamped for the night. Fortunately for the prisoners, Burbanks was something of a dare devil as well as a wit. Oonceiving it possible to take advantage of the ignorance and superstition of their captors, and possessing, as he did, more than ordinary magnetic power, he approached the chief unexpectedly, and in a bold, resolute manner slapping him on the shoulder, then looking him sternly in the eye, said: "Villain, do you know that I 'm in compact with the devil, and possess the power of witchcraft ~ You're a fugitive from justice, and to escape the gallows have fled civilization. Look up; face me, I tell you; there now, you are bewitched, and can move neither hand nor foot!" And sure enough, the fellow stood powerless, and was at once subjected, mentally and bodily, to complete mesmeric control. After causing him to go through a variety of singular maneuvers; to the great amazement of the Indians, the magnetizer commanded him to speak to the savages in their own tongue, and tell them of the infernal power he was master of; and 24

The magnetized chief instantly obeyed; seized with sudden fear, the aborigines prostrated themselves before the. supposed demon. While they did so, the prisoners neglected not to secure their weapons. The captors then became the captives. Wimple' now laughed as heartily as he had cried, and insisted upon shooting every one of the clan; Burbanks, too, was rather in favor of summary vengeance, but was dissusded from it by the young ladies. Throwing the magnetic influence off the chief, that he might have & proper senae of his defeat, Burbanks said to him: '4 We are now about to part, and for acquaintance sake I'll just take one of your ears. Should you ever visit the Queen City, Mr. Chief, you can have the pleasure of seeing it in the Museum, by paying a quarter of a dollar." Saying which, he drew a keen blade and clipped his right ear off; then pointing toward Red river, assisted him with his boot in making a start on his journey. The Indians he served in the same manner-who were all glad to get off on terms so easy, after being, as they confidently believed, in the hands of the devil. With lighter hearts, the tourists retraced their steps, and in a few hours returned to where they had been captured. On the following day they reached Wildwood· vale. The sun was sinking in the west, while yet ilia liDiering beams tipped with gold the tree-topB that
