they got callcoes and cutlery enough

end they let the freighttraln go on
without a fight. And the freighters
moved, taking it for granted ‘that the
Indians had made way with me.
“Well, we went into camp, and a
whole village of Klowas came on for
the cutting up and curing of the meat.
Among all the Indians who came strag-
gling in, there was no hostile act or
look toward me. The big Indian took
away my revolvers and installed me
in his teepee, where his mother, a

Ethel and Sam.
By JOSEPH VAN RAALTE.
It may be the shade and shape of
those violet eyes of hers; it may be
her soft, warm cheeks, or her laugh
ing lips, or that provoking little nose
tip-tilted like the petal of a flower
Any one of these fascinating frag
ments it may be, or the indescribable
combination of them all that makes
her such an irresistible curly little
bundle.
With fancy all aglow and off on
a riotous theme, Sam sits with his
mouth and eyes full of hair and his
arms full of Ethel—and right
and there Fate catches up with him
The brethren and kinsfolk of Sam
plead with their gods for light to
understand just what the YOuUng man
sees In Ethel; and the kinsfolk and
brethren of Ethel moodily wonder
exactly what, under the crescent
curve of the new moon, the young
woman sees in that fellow Sam.
When the sisters the young
man say Ethel is “critical.” they em-
ploy a subtle and eupbonious mode of
calling her thin; and when the
cousins and the aunts of the Young
Woman term Sam “interesting,” they
assume an oblique fashion of saying,
“We're not sure, but we think he
drinks.”
The happy day arrives wherein the
of
voice promises never to forget to love
the lady of his choice; while the rela.
tives, friends and enemies assembled
git back signalling the message, “All
right You're happy now, you two,
but—just wait!”
They wait,

he sore was obstinate, it became nec-

stotested that he could never go

The surgeon promised to make it

“This arrangement,” explained the
loctor, “is sald to prevent pain in

The surgeon at once began quietly

When all was done the surgeon laid

Shouts of lnughtersoon drowned his
