were too likely to get into mischief.
And older children were put to guard
younger children, because they were
of no account in picking berries.
Yellow Belt's case was very trying
to a twelve-year-old boy. He had no
sisters to relieve him, and his charge
was a mischievous and freakish three-
year-old child. However, the older
brother was very faithful for a num-
ber of days. He kept one eye on
Plenty Boy and the other on the look-
out for small game.

The youngest scion of the family,
breech-clouted, but otherwise naked,
was standing erect and defiant, sturd-
ily confronting a big cougar and her
young, insisting, as he angrily stamp-
ed his feet, that the sunkilas come
down and play with him!
As he shook his fist at them, he
leaned backward—so close he was to
the face of rock upon wiich they were
perching—and the belt ‘of his clout
leggings creased his fat sides in
double folds. ,

ran by, and

When there was no game to be seen
Yellow Belt would divide his time in
admiration of two war arrows which
his uncle, G Bull, had given him,
shoot among the bushes. One of these
was somewhat worm-eaten in
shaft, and its iron teeth played lcose
on its rivet for want of real sinews to
bind. The other had a hone tooth,
and was not a weapon for the buffalo.
Yet these arrows and his confidence
in them were to bring him out of the
greatest adventure of his life, one
which, after ferty years, furnished
him with his most thrilling tale of
personal encounter.
On the day when his mother left
him to go behind the big hill, she
had spread her blanket for Plenty
Boy, who was sound asleep. Yellow
Belt did not mean to go to sleep when
he lay beside the young one, but he
had eaten to repleticn, and despite
some fighting, his drowsy eyes clesed.
He awoke because the sun had shift-
ed so that its hot rays were beating
directly upon his face. He rose, dig-
ging at his heavy, burning lids, and
was reminded of his charge by hear-
ing the voice of Plenty Boy, sounding
faint and far away, but with a fierce
accent which spoke of infantile wrath.
At first Yellow Beit believed that
his mother had ccme and had carried
Plenty Boy away as a rebuke to his
own remissness, and that the chiid
was angry at leaving him behind.
Feeling very crestiallen, he gathered
his bow and arrows- and made his
way among bushes and rocks at the
foot of the ledge, toward the sound
of Plenty Boy's scolding.
For some hundred steps or more he
heard nothing of the small brother;
then, nearer than he*had expected, he
heard the young vcice in an explo-
sive shout, repeated two or three
times. Plenty Boy had evidently wan-
dered off alone, and was shouting—as
he often did at the village—at some
crow, buzzard, cor other live object
which had attracted his attention.
Yellow Belt hurriea atong the face
of the ledge, not daring to call, for
it was a trick of the mischievous lad
to scamper off and hide when any
one was thus seeking him. So the
elder boy ran softly forward, and
turning an angle of the rocks, agan
heard the voice of the youngster
scolding in sharp tones of infantile
bravado:
“He-e-e! Ya-dra! Come—come down
here, sunkila!”’
So! the young brother was calling,
and to a “little deg.” Yellow Belt
climbed to the top of a boulder, and
looked about among wne rocks and
juniper bushes. The voice seemed to
be coming out of the 1ace of the ledge,
and for a moment the lad stared in
bewilderment at the bare rock walls.
Then a protrduding bush betrayed
a cleft near at hand, and its ledges,
of seeming jointure, were, he knew
some steps apart. He Diesiened to-
ward the half hidden imag-

| the face of the ledge, had come upon

notch.
The old one, prowling upon the top

| ones’ distressed miauings, and had de-
iscended a scarp which they were un-
able to climb.
The snarling

| most within reach of Plenty Boy, was

oon Belt was frightened enough;
for the moment his legs shock so that
he could hardly stand. He called
softly to Plenty Boy, hoping to coax
him away. But his words were of no
avail. The little lad had his eyes
glued upon the spotted kits, and the
desire to play with them was the
only emotion his infantile mind could
hold.
He answered the brother's entreaty
by a forward movement and angry
whoops at the kits.
And why was this tiny Sans Arc
not afraid of the mother? :
Yellow Beit knew too well it was
because of the big mountain-cat
which Lone Elk kept in a stake tee-
pee, fastened with a white man’s iron
rope, and at which creature, snarling
impatiently, little villagers at home
were wont to launch their puerile de-
fiances.
Yellow Belt's legs were yet weak
and his teeth clicked with fear, as he
stepped cautiously toward the fierce
old cat, now snarling down, her muz-
zle within three arms’ length of Plen-
ty Boy's face. He knew better than
to call again to the sturdy urchin.
He sought to attract the angry
seast’s attention to: himself. He re-
membered his mother’s parting
charge, and grew brav®. Holding
bow and fixed arrow in one ‘hand, he
clenched the other and beat his breast
as he advanced.
“He! Look at me, igmu hanska!”
he shouted. “I am the son of a chief,
Big Mountain. I do not fear you!”
Then, as the old cat seemed to draw
back against the rocks, he took fresh
courage. “Ho! ho!” he whooped.
“See, I will send an arrow through
your body!”
The sound of his own voice greatly
heartened -him, but so also it embold-
ened Plenty Boy, who now tiptoed
against the rocks and beat his tiny
ficts against their hard surface as he
renewed his shouts to the “little dogs”
to come down.
Vithin :ix paces of the glaring
cougar Yellow Belt halted. Should he
drop his weapons, teap forward,
snatch Plenty Boy and run? This he
was about 0 do, when the remem-
bered counsel of old hunters re-
strained him. “When in close quar-
ters you must never run from igmu
hanska or from mato-hota, the griz-
zly, for then they a.c sure to attack.
You must always face them warily,
weapons in hand.” Such was the wis-
dom of the elder hunters, and the boy
hecded.
He took another step forward, and
now the two lower kits, with barely
space to cling against the rock, began
to crowd: each other for safer and
{ higher feoting. One of them shoved
| the other nearly off its perch, and txls

| ne made a desperate scramble to
a moment all was over,
cat lay stricken dead at his feet; and
for several minutes thereaiter the
rocks rang with his exultant whoops
of victory.
While he was still shouting, his
mother found him and saw what he
had done. She caught her youngest,
still screaming with pain, into her
arms and examined his hurts.
Finding nothing to alarm, she
turned to the exulting son of Big
Mountain and said:

Hints to Housekeepers,
To butter a cracker and sprinkle in
with cayenne pepper will induce sleep
after eating.
Varnished wood should be rubbed
witk a chamois leather wrung out of
cold water, then polished with a soft
duster.
An easy method of mending a lace
curtain in a hurry, until time can be
spared for darning it, is to cut a piece
of net as near a match to the cur-
tain mesh as possible, dip in boiled
starch, and iron over the torn part
until dry. ?
Patent leather is always deubtful
leather to buy, as no one will guaran-
tee how long it will wear. If the shoes
are cleaned and oiled frequently with
sweet oil or vaseline they will keep
in good condition and last very much
longer than if they are left alone.
To polish a varnished floor rub well
with equal quantities of beeswax and
turpentine. Another method is to take
equal parts of olive oil and spirits of
turpentine, wet a sot cloth with these,
rub the wood hard, then rub with a
dry cloth. This is also geod for black
walnut furniture and sewing machines.
A folding toilet and dressing table is
new and useful, but expensive. The
table -is of highly polished mahogany,
with stool to match, eontainirg a good
sized mirror at the back, and nineteen

ed up and used as an ordinary table.
A very good salad can be made by
using a cupful of uncooked. cabbage,

er thoroughly and place in the refrig-

Remember that pond lilies, when
