OCEOLA; A ROMANCEâ€"BY CAPT. M. REID. ( Continued.) THE CAPTIVE. ' Late as was the hOur,I deter? mined to visit the captive before going to rest: My design would not admit of delay; besides, I had ,a suspicion that, before, another day passed, my own liberty might be pcurtailed.’ Two duels in one (layâ€"two antagonists wounded. and ,both friends to the commander-inâ€" .chiefâ€"myself comparatively friend- ilessâ€"lt was hardly probable I should escape ‘ scatâ€"free ’ Arrest I expected as certainâ€"perhaps a trial .by court-martial, with a fair chance .of- being cashiered the service.

He was not allowed to exalt long in the‘pleasant hallucination. Followed by the eyes of all, the yoUng chief walked off with a proud step towardsthe woods. On arriving near the edge of the timber, he faced round to the fort, drew the shining blade fi'om‘his bcl‘i, waved it above his head, and in defiant tones shouted back the war-cry : ‘Yo-ho-ehec !’ Three times the" wild signal pealed upon our ears; and at the third repitition, he who had uttered it turned again, sprang forward into the timber, and was instantly lost of our view. There was no mistaking the inâ€" tent of that demonstration; even the self-glorifying commissmner was convinced that it meant ‘ war to the knife,’ and men weie hurriedly orâ€" dered in pursuit. An armed crowd rushed forth from the gate, and flung them-‘ selves on the path that had been taken by the ci-cleoant captive. The chase proved bootless and fruitless; and after more than an hour spent in vain search, the soldiers came straggling back to the fort. Gallagher and I had stayed all the morning in my quarters, ex- pecting the order that would confine me there. To our astonishment. it came not : there was no arrest. Upon duty, the aid-de-camp and I. often met afterwards, . and were frequently compelled to ex- change speech; but it was alwiiys ofanoflicial character, and, I need not add, was spoken in the severest reserve.
