Left to the care of a Sioux warrior and his squaw when but a babe of 3 years, and reared to womanhood by the supposed Indian father, whose disclosed her death bed confession identity, this Is the synopsis of Miss Agnes Dslrymple's life story. She is 22, stately and dusky, and, save for her bronze complexion, bears no trace of Indian parentage. "Laughing Eyes," the old warrior called the girl, but the white people spoke of her as "the pretty little Injun Three Bears was a devoted girl. father to her, as kind as a father could be to a child, and the child was faithful and obedient in return. Probably it was his ardent devotion that prevented him from divulging the secret of the girl's life. Perhaps he feared that she might be reclaimed by her real parents or her relatives, but now that the Great Spirit had called him he would tell the people that the pretty little girl was not an Indian, then she might wed a white man. Recently the old chief was taken sick, and three days later was burled at the foot of a tall pine tree. After struggling hard against the grim monster for two days, Three Bears concluded that his time had come. He sent for a lawyer to draw up a statement. The scene at the old warrior's bedside, as described by Lawyer IL T. Holdron, of Grand Rapids, was a touching one, After dictating the terms of the will Three Bears slowly assumed a sitting posture. Around him sat the wife, the daughter, the lawyer, and two other witnesses, one a Ind dian neighbor, the other a white lumberman who had chanced that way. "I must die soon," gasped the aged Indian. "Before I go to the grave must tell Laughing Eyes she Is not She is the daughter of my daughter. I brought her up and white people. I love her much. She was brought to me many moons ago over twenty years ago by her white father. "I lived by the Big Muddy river at Bismarck. One day four white men came to my tent. One great, big, fat, nice clothes. He carry little girl baby. He say three years old. He say babys mother dead. He ask me to keep child till he come back, In two months. He going with men to Bad lands for gold. He gives me money and I take little girl and squaw take care of her. Then he gave me card with his name on. Here the old man dropped back exhausted on his pillow and rested for a few minutes, while the lawyer scribbled, the girl wept bitterly, the old squaw sat silently, with her face towards the wall, and the two men witnesses looked on and said nothing. Suddenly Three Bears arose again to a sitting posture. "I keep this paper with name on.
