Thus lived Mekaia, or the Star-flower, which was thename of the beautiful Otto, till she had reached her seventeenth summer. It was a little before sunset upon a pleasant day in the month ofgreen-corn, that a young man riding upon a noble white horse was seenentering the great village of the Ottoes. He appeared to be very young, but he was tall and straight as the hickory-tree. He was clothed as ourbrother is clothed, only his garments were scarlet, and our brother'sare black. His hair, which w...as not so dark as that of the Indians, wassmooth and sleek as the hair on the head of a child, or the feathers onthe breast of the humming-bird. His head was encircled with a chapletmade of the feathers of the song-sparrow and the red-headed-woodpecker. He rode slowly through the village without stopping till he came to thelodge of Wasabajinga, when he alighted, leaving his good horse to feedupon the grass which grew around the cabin. He entered the lodge of thechief. The stern old warrior, without rising from his bed of skins, asked him who he was, and whence he came.
