Putting him in a convenient box and stowing the box in his pocket, Mathers remounted the coach, but the atmosphere was strained. For twenty miles he tried to reform Clara Baysworth. He told her frank ly that he was pained and displeased by her foolish prejudice, but even that did not move her. She regarded him with alien eyes. "I'll listen to y?u," she said, "when you stop being so perfectly foolish! And if you ask me again to marry you while you are carrying that thing around with you I? I'll scream!" Somebody who was brave opened the box the next morning t6 see the dead snake and the camp nearly broke up as the rattler winked one eye and waved his tail at the horrified med dler, having survived his choking, as Mathers had known he would.

Keokuk ("The j Watchful One")? knew better. He ' ^U<JW that the chief was already prac tlcally chosen and that he himself waa booked for the high office. For years I Keokue bad schemed and tolled and I Intrigued In secret for the chief Lain - | ahlp. He had many obstacles to over ' come. For instance, he did not belong I to one of the tribe's ruling families, from which chiefs were always taken, j In fact, he was a "rank outsider/' the i lust man that the Indian aristocrats of the old school would be likely to r choose to rule them. Yet by years of sheer diplomacy he had outwitted them all. And when the election was over he waa declared chief. A Blow and a Feud. tip from the circle of leaders leaped an Indian warrior? Blaok Hawk. Dis gusted at the choice of his people, he showed his contempt for the new chief and for the election Itself by tearing off his folded blanket and striking Keokuk across the face with It. Keo kuk bore the blow meekly. But at a far later day he avenged it. Thus be gan the lifelong feud between Keokuk and Black Hawk. Keokuk was born In the Sac and. Fox territory In Illinois about 1780. Of lowly parentage, in a "nation" where ancestry counted for much, he never theless set out early In life to rise to the summit of power. His life motto was that the men who knows when to pretend to lose may often win. He waa a fighter. Tales of his exploits' on the battlefield ? both on the side of the British In the war of .1812 and WgalnBt rival Indian tribes? were told .far and near. But mere warlike j I courage could not avail to win him l the promotion he wished. So he j l turned to diplomacy. He was a wond* j rous orator and quickly made a name for himself in tribal councils, | Keokuk was too wise not to see the uselessness of opposing the white men's westward progress. He fore saw that the government would soon be all-powerful in the west So he not only pretended to m&ke friends with the wh}te authorities, but man aged always to use the seeming friend ship to his own advantage. Where ( gallant. Impetuous Black Hawk broke , himself to pieces in the vain effort to. | thrust back the tide of civilization, Ke okuk craftily swam with that tide to I prosperity and safety. When the ; government bought for a mere pit ; tance the ancient hunting grounds and j village of the Sacs and Foxes, Keokuk urged his people to obey the white i man's orders and move westward to new lands. [ Black Hawk" refused to move west with the bulk of his "nation." He called on the Sacs and Foxes to rally to his standard and to attack the white men. The council had practical ly decided to do so, when Keokuk arose and by a marvelously eloquent speech persuaded the bulk of the "na tion" to keep the peace. His pleas are said . to have held back other tribes from Joining the confederation. Thus Black Hawk went to war against the government with only a small part of the force he would otherwise have had. Keokuk was beginning to pay for the blow Back Hawk had struck him. And, as the war's terrible death list showed, the debt was paid by many an Innocent man ? both red and white? -as w*ell as by Black Hawk him self. Black Hawk was totally routed by the government troops late in 1832 and was taken captive. While his enemy was in prison Keokuk made his own position so':Btrong with Indians and Washington authorities alike that he was appointed by the president as head chief of all his "nation." He 'lived in royal state at a village on j the site of the present city of Keokuk, | la. Black Ha^rk returned from captiv | ity In 1833, found himself deposed. , supplanted and utterly subjugated by the wily diplomat. The Final Revenge. The local Indian official, Major Oar | land, at a banquet given In honor of j Black Hawk's release, told the re turned captive that the president de sired him 'henceforth, to obey Keo kuk's orders In all things. Black Hawk, In fury at thlp crowning In sult, declared he would obey no one. Keokuk smiled blandly and said: "Our brother is old. Let us forget what he has just said!" Maddened, helpless before the smil ing diplomacy of his foe, Black Hawk gave the Impression of being unworthy the loving kindness of his great and good friend, Keokuk. But members of Black Hawk's former band under stood the situation and sided with their old chieftain. Between them and Keokuk's, followers there was always ill-feeling, and often bloodshed. Soon afterward, Black Hawk, broken-heart ed at his treatment, died.* Keokuk had paid the "debt of the blow" In full. He settled down on * forty-mile Iowa River estate given htm by the gov ernment. ???"> But tho* Vtfeo ha# loved the bva?*. unlucky Black Hawk did not the account squared.
