xcept those la the four forlorn Igloos
that broke the -white level of the fore
lore like snow blisters.
, Ehame travels on the wind, and goes
Be cannot tell where. The things that
live In the cold blue ravines of the
great bergs always hear of it when a
man Is nahme; the evil spirits of the
cliffs and those that dwell in the caves
nnder the Ice-belt hear of It
Ever since his father had been
Mnght in his ussuk line and dragged
nnder the floe, Metek had tried man
fully to provide for his mother and
baby sister. But fortune had been
gainst him. For two months ' the
family had lived on charity, and this
turlng a -winter of unprecedented
Want.
The three men of the tiny village
ever asked him to go hunting -with
them now. They paid less attention to
Mm than to little Tooky, still cradled
In her mother's hood.
They spoke to Ootlmlah, on the con
trary, a9 one man to another, and
Ootlmlah was barely a year older than
Metek. But Ootimiab, the lucky, had
fcrought two seals home to the fam
ished mouths.
Thus Metek pursued his despairing
thoughts In a circle, and although they
ometimes swirled up so thick and
black and angry that he yearned to
trike at Ootlmlah with his keenest
lnce, he kept doggedly at his work,
very day he went forth on hl9 vain
incursions over the floe, or climbed to
the Ice-cap of the cliffs to inspect bis
fox traps.
"Silence, lump of fat!" he shouted.
Els eyes glittered dangerously. "Put
the dogs to thy sledge and we will see
, Who is nahme. We will come back
' - irlth meat or not at all."
' Ootlmlah 6tared at Llm like an appre
hensive dumpling. Underneath bis furs
bis mean little heart bounded at this
surprising outbreak. He had thought
that Metek was cowed by adversity.
"Hoi" he said, when he had recov
ered himself somewhat "If you are
o hungry I will make you eat your
Urords. Then you will have plenty of
rind in the'belly, which is filling."
He laughed unctuously at his Joke,
bnt at the same time he fastened the
three best dogs of his father's pack to
the light sledge of pieced bone, and
forced his rotund person Into more
furs, until his coats lay upon him like
the shards of an onfon. Also he put
under the sledge apron two strips of
blubber and a frozen sea flipper, which
la excellent to gnaw on. Ootlmlah be
lieved that Metek was "bluffing," but
be wished to make sure of catching
him.
Metek's mother merely grunted, and
took fresh grip with her bare toes
a the stiff reindeer skin she was sew
ing when Metek bade her good-by. He
crawled out through the tocksoo and
Jumped on his sledge as cheerfully as
If he expected to see her again.
The sunless winter sky hung over
them, and it was piercing cold; but
the air was still. The granulated sur
face of the floe afforded the dogs a
, Ins foothold.
Ootlmlah tried to entice Metek into a
nob; but when the latter refused to
force his team, he lolled back against
jit npstanders and crooned fatly to
himself, thinking how he would Jeer
at Metek when the excursion was over.
At noon they halted for a rest Ootl-
tnlah gluttonously bolted his blubber,
but Metek gave the larger part of his
canty stock of provisions to his dogs.
"Huht" grunted Ootlmlah, looking
aeita scornful eyes at this proceeding.
"Too have only a woman's heart. To-
tnorrow you will be whining for food.
" 'Tia not I who drags the sledge,"
aid Metek. "A good hunter cares for
his dogs first"
Ootlmlah, still scornful, tucked him
elf snugly into the sledge and cracked
kla whip.
Aa the afternoon wore on, the fee
became rougher. Here and there the
Clae had squeezed and forced up great
blocks of crystal; but lanes of level
Ice ran between, and the dogs went
briskly forward.
As he rode, Ootimlah's glance swept
the gray expanse. There was rot
crack or a hole to be seen. The dead
ound of the dogs' feet told his expert
enced ear that the Ice had thickened.
Pale spots In the dusk ahead betrayed
the presence of bergs. .Bleak and drear

cold and uneasy. He blew out his
cheeks to warm them, and now and
then he glanced curiously at Metek.
He had not expected to find his com
panion so obstinate.
When they camped for the night in
the lee of a hummock, Ootlmlah
thought it was the last half of the
game. Surely Metek would cry off in
the morning. Then he, Ootlmlah,
would have his laugh again, and re
sume his Insulting chant with new
zest
He did not feel like laughing now.
There was a sense of something In the
air that cowed him. It seemed to
him, although he could not see them,
that black storm-clouds were stealing
in from the sea and massing overhead;
that the sky was setting its scenery
for one of its sudden dramas.
That night the great skin that holds
back the north winds burst, and it
blew as if it meant to strip the world
of its atmosphere. The bitter eddies
and back-drafts caught at the sledges
till they Jerked frantically at their
lance anchors, and the reindeer robes
broke loose many times from under the
boys' bodies.
While the wild air tore above them,
underneath the sea surged In Its deep
bed, thrusting upward against the floe
with mighty shoulders. Swift' shivers
ran through the ice. It groaned and
boomed with the tumult of a battle
field. Now, with a noise of thunder,
wide chasms opened and the white
water gushed out, seething. Now,
with a slow, grinding roar, a pressure
ridge would lift its long rampart across
the ice. But dominating all other
storm sounds was the cannonade of the
bergs as they hurled their thousand-ton
blocks crashing upon the floe.
Poor Ootlmlah prayed to the things
that haunt their ravines that they
would spare him. His belief In the
efficiency of his prayers was not great,
but they wer straws, at least, at
wnicn to cmtcn.
The black morning found the wind
still blowing a gale, and sweeping with
it a veil of cutting snow. It was mad
ness to go on in the teeth ef such a
storm, with no food for themselves or
for the dogs.
What shall we do?" asked the
frightened Ootlmlah. "Even the brown
anuk himself could not face such
weather."
We will go on," said Metek, tran
quilly, and he threw out the long whip
lash. Its report was lost In the roar
of the wind.
Dimly Ootlmlah began to perceive the
presence of a master spirit This
Metek, younger than himself, whom he
had called nahme, had set his teeth in
a purpose, and neither cold nor hunger
nor the dark wings of death Itself
would cause him to relax his hold.
The mere inkling of such tenacity
alarmed flabbly little Ootlmlah almost
as much as the riot of the elements.
The blue and white fox-skin Jumper
even the waving fox-tall which Metek
held between his teeth to protect his
face from the wind assumed an un
cannily unfamiliar aspect This was
not the Metek he had known, this
squat, silent thing that made him feel
more alone than he had ever felt when
hunting by himself far out on the floe.
Fear swelled In his heart, and he
urged his dogs forward till they ran as
one team with Metek's. "Come back!"
be shouted through the roar of wind
and ice.
Metek turned hla head. The rim of
his hood was feathered thick with
frost, and his eyes shone like crumbs
of new ice. Silently he stretched a
mittened hand toward the north.
From the lofty cliffs inland a sudden
great sound greeted them. It rolled,
majestic, over their heads, and died
gradually away far to the eastward.
""Tis the anuk thing!" shouted
Metek. "He Is calling to his children.
Onward r
Ootlmlah had heard of the colossal
genius of the walrus tribe that lives on
the tops of bare and beetling cliffs.
He had no desire to make his - ac
qualntance. "Die if you wish!" he
called, shrilly, to Metek. "I am going
back. There is nothing here but ice
devils and that beast thing that be
witches men."
He swung his dogs about, and they
came willingly. As they straightened
out on the homeward road, he cast a
last look at the squat, purposeful back
in the fox skin Jumper. Then the dark
ness blotted It out
The anuk thing did not speak again,
but Metek knew that he was there,
watching him with friendly eyes. He
wss sure the creature was beneficent
when presently the confusing snow
ceased to fall. In the darkness he
couM feel now the clear area of the
frozen sky, a vast bubble of black
steel under which the laboring ice ran,
clanging.
The hunters 'never left the igloos
when the floe was squeezing, but
Metek was not afraid. He had only
one thought to redeem himself and
bring back meat to his starving people.
On he drove, his gaze fixed on the
pale outlines of a vast berg, which
seemed to stretch an impregnnble bar
rier across his path. As he drew
nearer he heard the sinister chant of
the wind moaning through its sharp
notches. And all at once bis- ear
caught a gruff, explosive, puffins
sound.
Itlslng to his knees, he looked for
ward. A long, dark discoloration lay
at the foot of the berg. It was fresh

in rue uoe. wiui m sijuui lie iei uul iin
long whlp-lasb.
Metek drove as near as he dared,
and tethered the dogs to a projection
of the floe. Then he gathered up his
weapons and went on, crouching, to
ward the discolored area.
It was newer than he had thought,
and bent like stiff leather under his
feet; but he knew Its toughness, and
glided rapidly forward toward the
jagged hole which the game had Just
left.
Treseitly the spot of open water was
agitated. It darkened, end then the
broad, bristled muzzle and white tusks
of a great bull anuk appeared. The
big, circular eyes fixed themselves
upon Metek in a wide stare of surprise.
Metek slowly raised his left arm
and pointed at the walrus, who, full of
curiosity, reared his huge bulk above
the water. When the pale spot be
neath his left flipper was visible,
Metek's right arm shot forward, and
the harpoon flew true to its mark.
The bull dived with a sputtering roar.
Metek darted back with the end of
the Hue, and swiftly drove into the
ice the iron-pointed stake to which It
was fastened. Then, with both feet,
he stood upon the line, close to the
little stake.
The touj;h strip of sealskin straight
ened with a Jerk, and lay taut as a
bowstring; but the ingenious anchor
held. Metek watched it with a keen
and anxious eye. The moment he saw
the strain relax, he plucked up the
stake and carried it to a new spot
some yards away.
He was none too quick. Two furious
cows rose Just beneath the stand he
bad left, shattering the ice to bits. To
their bellows of wrath Metek respond
ed with a mocking shout; but for the
bull he reserved a sharper welcome.
Lance in band, he met the arfuk as
it rose in a smother of effervescing
water, and as it strove to charge at
him through the ice, breaking off great
tables with its tusks, be darted swiftly
about In front of the beast With
every forward leap he thrust the keen,
fleam-shaped blade deep into the un
wieldy body, until the water turned
red. ..
Spent and badly wounded, the walrus
sank at last, and Metek sprang again
to his stake.
Five times he shifted his ground,
and five times the belligerent cows
broke through the ice almost under
Uiis feet But luck was with him. Wet
with salt spray and blood, he rejoiced
In the fight
"Ara-na-yah! Am-na yah!" he shout
ed. "Meat for the mother and the
babe within the hood! Meat for the
strong hunter! Meat from the band of
Metek nahme!"
The ice spit upward and almost let
him fall on the fat, wrinkled nape of
one of the cows. By a miracle of agil
ity lie lanced her deep behind the
shoulder and got away. Almost si
multaneously the bull rose, and he
found himself between the two, the
water gushing up about his ankles.
Metek struck the bull across the face,
blinding htm for the moment, and ran
over the strip of bending ice toward
a lighter, firmer patch. On this he
stopped with an agile turn.
The cow seemed hit in some vital
part, for she spun in an aimless circle
on ber broad belly; but the bull was
still full of fight
As the vicious creature charged
through the ice Metek struck twice
with a true aim. The anuk gave a
last bellow, slipped back, and floated,
a bloated brown island, among the
rocking ice cakes.
Metek could hardly restrain himself
from leaping upon it and cutting off a
long-needed strip of blubber; but it
wan not bis own mouth be had come
to fill. While there was a chance to
secure more meat be must think neither
of hunger nor of weariness.
Almost exhausted, be staggered back
to the cow, and delivered a final lance
thrust that despatched her. Then with
his knlfo he made incisions In the two;
inch-thick skin of his prizes od teth
ered them to stakes by means of a
pair of ussuk lines.
After that three dogs and a tired
but happy Eskimo had a glorious
feast So royally did they stuff them
selves that for two hours not one of
the four could move a foot Like noble
Romans, they reclined rotundly upon
their table and sent up sighs of reple
tion and thanksgiving, while the anuk
thing brooded benignly over them from
his stronghold.
Packed at last between the hot
chunks of walrus fat, Metek swung his
whip over the dogs, and his homeward
run began. 1
Well paid he felt for his pains. He
saw the hungry mouths of his people
once more luxuriously besmeared with
grease. And the boasting Ootlmlah I
Where was he? Twenty-five hundred
pounds of rich walrus, flesh against
two stringy little seals! Who could

Comanche pasture. About twenty-five
Ivolves were victims of the day's sport.
After the hunt a basket dinner was
served at the rendezvous in Chatta
nooga. Then there were racing and
athletics, followed by a dance at night.
It was a red-letter day in the history
of Southwest Oklahoma. The era of
the cattleman and bis vast herds in
the pasture is passing. This is their
last year. They will give way next
month to the farmer, who will plant
fields of wheat and corn where herds
have been wont to roam, i'lils cele
bration was held to welcome the com
ing and to speed the parting guest.
Preparations were in progress for
this event for two months. Headed by
Colonel "Jim" Williams and Captain
.T. A. Mangan, of Chattanooga, the
farmers living around the borders of
the reservation marshaled as great an
army of hunters as was ever congre
gated in the Southwest country. These
hosts were augmented by visitors
from all parts of Indian Territory,
Texas and other States. A special
train was run out of Lawton to Chat
tanooga to carry the throngs that came
to Join the hunt.
Chattanooga is the gateway to the
"big pasture." It Is on a high stretch
of tableland abutting the north line
of the reservation, twenty-five miles
southwest of Lawton and ten miles
northeast of the Rpot where President
Itoosevelt camped during bis wolf hunt
last spring. The town has a popula
tion of about BOO, principally cowboys
and wolf hunters. The latter are
skilled iu training dogs for chasing
and bagging wolves, and no better
dogs at these feats are to be found In
the West. The most Interesting dog In
this hunt was a bound of small pro
portions, which its master named
Carrie Nation. Tills dog last year out
stripped all her fellows In the Thanks
giving huit, capturing five of the
twelve' wolves token. This placed her
at the head of the wolf, dogs in the
country. During her life of four years
she has captured more than sixty
wolves, and never has been Injured.
She has a knack of capturing the fleive
little coyotes In a manner that puts
them out of action Immediately and
protects herself. But there are oilier
fine dogs. Greyhounds are the best
runners and have the longest "winds,"
but many of tbem are lacking in the
technique of capture. Fox hounds are
plentiful and gcod racers; so are some
curs and common stags. More than
half a thousand wolfhounds and dogs
belong to men of this section, and
nearly every one of them was In the
race.
The race course was a broad expanse
of prairie, unbroken by creeks, deep
ravines or timber. Prairie dog boles
abound in some parts of the reserva
tion, but few are found here. This was
fine for the hunters, for many persons
attend these chases who are untutored
In horseback riding. To the south
ward one views the Deep Red River,
with its fringes of oak, pecan and
hackberry. A little beyond is Iteil
River, with its flat bed, red water and
crumbled banks; westward is the town
of Frederick, mnde notable by the
President's entrance to the reservation
through its main street; to the north
ward are the Wichita peaks, to the
eastward Indian Territory,' nnd north
east is the city of Lawton.
The chase began soon after noon and
lasted three hours. The commander
and his aides formed the hunters In an
Immense square, seven miles each
way. The square contained nine sec
tions. Cowboys, dog trainers and pro-
fessional riders were stationed on the
east, south and west sides, while those
who participated In wagons, buggies
aud other vehicles formed the north
line. After the lines were formed the
commander gave the signal at the
southeast corner, his aides passed It
along and the lines began closing In.
This drove the wolves toward the cen
tre, and so close were the men to one
another that few could escape.
The exciting moment came when the
lines had closed sufficiently near one
nnother to give the charging signal
This signal permitted every member
of the party to participate in the chase
The wolves were by this time frantic
ally running hither and thither to es
cape, but were in a pen so closely
fenced by humanity that death or cap
ture was Inevitable for eight out of
ten of tbem. Men, women nnd chll
dren, shouting and excited to the high
est pitch, riding in wagons, buggies,
backs, on horses, bicycles, automobiles
and some on foot combined to make n
thrilling scene peculiar to the wolf
country.
Guns and pistols were barred, and
the: kills and captives ''must be made
with clubs, lariats aud dogs. Some of
the little coyotes wore torn to pieces
by dogs, other roped by cowboys,
trampled under foot by horses, run
over by vehicles or died of exhaustion.
After it was over came the march back
to Chattanooga nnd a public exhibition
of the fruits of the sport Here cow
boys, dog men and others disputed
over the credit for the capture of cer
tain coyotes nnd some fought but, at
length, a distribution was made, pho
tographs were taken and the day's
sport was ended.
Colonel "Jim" Williams, who organ
Ized the hunt, is a typical frontiersman
who knows Jbo entire alphabet of cow
' punching and wolf chasing. He was
reared on a cow ranch and for four
years was a lessee of part of the res
ervation. One of the most Interesting
of the participants in the hunt was
Miss' Clara Shnrp, sixteen years old,
one of the most beautiful girls in Okla
homa. Born In the Rust, she has be
come a devotee of the sports of the
West. There are few better riders
than Miss Sharp, and none who find
more real enjoyment In the chase. She
wns a star attraction of the chase and
took as many wolves with her lariat
as any num. John Abernethy, a young
cowboy, who was with the President
during his bunt In April, was com
mander of the hunt Nearly all the
Indians of the Comanche and Kiowa
tribes were at the scene. Quanah
Parker, the Comanche chief, took a
prominent part In the chase. A few
Apaches were on band, among them
Gcroulino, who attends Uie rhnse 'every
year. Several ofllcers of Ihe Thirteenth
Cavalry, stationed at Fort Sill, also
took part in the sports.
PHOTOCRAPHING ANIMALS
Both Basinets in Cities Has Paiied to
the Amateurs.
'There seems to be always about so
much money changing bands," re
marked a man who has been Identified
with photogruphy for many years.
"The great thing is to adjust one's self
quickly to tlie capture of the mighty
and nimble dollar. Not so very long
ago, I remember, my life was made a
burden to me by the women who
brought their pets to me to be photo
graphed. I was quite away from tba
centre of the city then, which made it
all the more convenient for the fair
ones who doted on animals. A thick
and Interesting volume might be writ
ten about the scenes in my photograph
gallery! I. even opened up both doors
on one occasion to let a pretty girl
drive In with ber donkey cart. I don't
know bow mnny plates I took of that
outfit, but I do know that the beast
wagged his ears every time I was
ready to press the button. That, com
bined with the fact that be stamped
holes In my rugs, rather got on my
nerves.
'Then Mary and her little lamb drift
ed In one day; that Is, I suppose ber
name was Mary. I got a negative that
the ladles all said was 'too sweet.' And
dogs! I used to take enough dogs to
keep the pound full. The sporty boy
and his pup would hardly be out when
the, sweet thing with a St. Bernard, a
collie or a terrier would drift In. One
while in? whole life seemed n round
of pets that I never petted. It was
like a job In a menagerie.
I "The ' meanest creature I ever
snapped was a poll parrot. She not
only said things unfit for publication,
but when I tried to win her with a
lump of sugar, she bit my baud vicious
ly. But, ludeed. In my time I've been
chewed, and bit, and hissed at, by a
number of pels In furs and- feathers.
All told, cats are the weirdest sub
jects. Pussy may be nice enough by
her own fireside. Take ber Into a
strange place and she's another propo
sition. A scared cat Is about the most
unmanageable animal I know.
'Now the animal patronage has en
tirely fallen off. Amateur photography
lias changed all that. An animal s a
ticklish thing to catch natural. The
least thing throws it off its balance.
Hence, the less change of scene the
better the result. At home, with the
camera ready to snap at any moment,
the amateur often gets pictures of pete
that are wonderfully fine. I've devel
oped and printed for one feminine en

A Romance of Lumbering.
A correspondent of the Chicago rteo-ord-ITerald
tells a romance of lumber
ing In Canada. About seventy-five
years ago Joseph Demister had a huge
raft of white oak logs caught in the ice
and frozen up on Lake Seugog. In
the spring the raft was missing, and
several years later he found it im
bedded In the mud at the bottom of the
lake. The story of the sunken raft was
repeated In the family from generation
to generation, until last summer a
great-grandson of tbe original lum
berman determined to recover the tin
ber. lie has been at work since last
June, and about September 1 located
it under thirty feet of water, Imbedded
In the mud bottom of Lake Scugog.
Heeugaged dlversamlls now at work
cutting out the logs and releasing them
from their imprisonment of three-quarters
of a century. Mr. Trimble con
gratulated himself upon having found
a fortune, as there .are at least several
hundred logs In tbe raft, and some peo
ple think there are several thousand of
tbem. Kach log will probably average
100 cubic feet of white oak, which is
worth at least $1 a foot. Experienced
lumbermen say that the timber lias not
been Injured, but is more likely to havs
been improved by its long Immersion -Boston

Artificial Daylight.
A new llliiminaiit, which tne Inven
tor calls "artificial daylight" until he
can decide upon a better name, is be
ing shown at the electrical show In
Madison Square garden. New York.
The public Is perfectly familiar with
the greenishblue rays of the Peter
Cooper Hewitt light. "Artificial day.
light" Is manufactured on the same
goneial principal, but Judging from the
t'Ms at the garden It Is a ureal im
provement over th Hewitt light. Sus
pended from the celling of the lobby
of the garden an l standing out a little
way from the side walls is en endless
tube of glass, filled with luminous
smoke, which takes on different colors
nt will. Ordinarily the light it gives
out Is clear, warm nnd white, quite
lacking in glare or disagreeable Inten
sity. Every nook aim crevice of the
garden's entrance Is Illuminated, and
tuere Is not the slightest discomfort
to the eyes of those subjected to thr
rays. Briefly, the principle Involved
in this light is that of filling a vac
cuum tube with chemical vapors which
will conduct electricity, taking on In
the process a marvelous luminosity.
The field of usefulness for the new
light Is, as a matter of course, prac
tically unlimited. It Is adapted for
stores, shops, trains, street cars an
even for street lighting. It Is assert
ed that the light can be produced at
one-half the cost of inrandescrnt light
nnd that its strength exceeds that of
the ordinary electric light 25 fold.

The happy wife of a good old-fashioned
Mich, farmer says:
"In tbe spring of 1fl02, I wns taken
sick a general breaking down, as It
were. I was excessively nervous, could
not sleep well at night, my fond seemed
to do me no good, nnd I wp.s so weak I
could scarcely walk across the room.
"The doctor said my condltiou was
due to overwork and close confinement
and that be very ranch feared tbat con
sumption would set In. For several
months J, took one kind of medicine
after anoibcr, but with no good effect
In fact. I seemed to' grow worse.
"Then I determined to quit all medi
cines, give up coTee and fee what
Grape-Xuts food would do for me. 1
began to eat Grape-Nuts with sugar
and cream and brcr.d aud butter three
times a day.
"The effect was surprising! I began
to gain flesh and strength forthwith,
my nerves quieted down and grew nor
mally steady a::d sound, sweet sleep
came back to me. In six weeks' time
I discharged the hired girl and com
menced to do my own housework for
a family of six. This was two years
ago, nnd 1 am doing it still, snd enjoy
It." Name-given by Postum Co., Battle
