If I had
belonged to one of the fierce tribes of Indians to the far east, I think
they would have killed me, but we are a milder - people. And here we
have lived ever since. After a time I was permitted to visit my kindred,
but always I am greeted with looks of hatred."
As she crouched in the doorway of the hut, and gazed absently over the
distant view, the young woman was thinking of that day when her
grandmother had told her past history. Well she remembered, that night,
and the inspired look on her grandmother's face as she spoke of the
future of their people. It was the first time she had ever seen her in
that psychic condition, and it was almost terrifying. Since that day,
although at rare intervals, her grandmother had given proof of her
former power, and in instances touching the welfare of the tribe; but no
one save the young woman knew of it.
Then she traveled over in thought the following years, until she became
a woman, and was wooed by one of the young men of the tribe, a few
months before the date of our story.
