The old chief's peace of mind was soon cut short. Spotted Eagle, his favorite son, was taken ill with fever, and although the medicine man had done his best, the young brave grew steadily worse and would have died, but for Dr. Roy Wallace and Ben Allen, who had stopped to inquire the way to the Rankin Mine. There, the half-breed, who acted as an interpreter, prevailed upon Mad Bull to have the White Medicine Man treat his son. So skeptical was the old chief, that Roy and Ben were obliged to remain at the camp until Spotted Eagle had entirely recovered. Then they would have departed, had not Chief Mad Bull been stricken with the same disease. Roy agreed to remain until he, too, had recovered. Once more the two friends prepared to leave, when the half-breed appeared, to say that the old chief required their presence. Hurrying to the council, Roy was dumbfounded to have the Eagle Feather bestowed upon him, and to hear Chief Mad Bull declare that he was now entitled to marry a chief's daughter, as they needed his skill as a white medicine man, and Kottona should be his squaw to keep him among them. At last, prompted by Ben, poor Roy managed to stammer his thanks, and, the young doctor handed Mad Bull a picture of Mary, his little wife. To wed the chief's daughter would be impossible. Fairly beside himself, the Indian tore Mary's picture to bits, and had not Ben interfered, the conflict between Roy and old Mad Bull would certainly have proven fatal. As it was, the two friends were thrown into their tepees to await the morning sun, when Roy would be sacrificed to their Getchie Manitou, for after receiving the Eagle Feather, the Pale Face had repaid their great chief by not only refusing his daughter, but attacking him as well. Ere night, however, Onesta, the girl's mother, had apprised Morning Plume of the intended sacrifice, and he, by sending a messenger to Mad Bull, saying the whites were preparing to attack them, drew the chief and his braves to their camp. Instantly Morning Plume rushed in, released the two friends, then with Kottona and Onesta, hurried to Big Moon's camp, where, after sending the white men safely on their way, the marriage of the lovers was celebrated.
