Also, there were more young braves in Vwc\ Cloud's tribe and the bold chief himself was young and brave. For a long time the attacks continued, for Red Musical Comedy Cloud was carrying on the feud that had arisen between Black Serpent and Tall Bear, the father of Red Cloud. Then one day a great disgrace fell upon the Peaceful Biver people. Red Cloud's warriors carried away with them, Morning Star, 200 Pretty Girls 200 the daughter of Black Serpent and loveliest of Indian maidens. The heart of little Morning Star was very sore when she was taken, a captive, to the tents among Auspices the Painted Mountains. From the large tent where she was watched by an old squaw, called Walking American Legion Water, she could see the sun as he sank into the depths of blue, paint the dark mountains that seemed to lower so threateningly about her all day long, until they were radiant with color. And then the heart of Morning Star was comforted with hope and she prayed long into the night for the Great Spirit to deliver her. And thus, for many moons, the Morning Star waited for a rescue-party and as the winter wore into spring the hope grew stronger, for the ice on Peaceful River would be melting now and per­ haps a band would come down the stream in their canoes.
