On this right, the wfj.tlicr happening to be fine, we built r.o shelters for the but Maumrc. who now well out of her sulks ttf the morning, macie me understand mat. had it bren stormy, the Indians voald have quickly formed little houses by stripping the br.rk from some birch trees and fastening it on poles supported by forked sticks driven into the thus makins, in a short time, a hltle rain proof cabin, under which one r.jit lit he. Of course, we liad no beds, as cis are known in but the In oitns gathered treat armfuls of the s'weet auielling branches of a certain i reen tree, and laying them hi piles tm the ground and then spreading their Lianket and skins on top of them, made a pleasant and fragrant sleeping place. All this was most interesting and very rurious to me: but now happened a thing that seemed still more curious and interesting.

I was standing near Strong Eagle, watching him examining a gun liad bought at Montreal, when I fsid the hoot hoot of an owl. comina ligm the woods near by that climbed t.cv.n the steep hillside at our backs sl r. to the river's edge. Instantly, at tftt sound, the gun dropped from the incs of Strong Eagle into his lap and Le sat motionlens. listening intently.

A Lxniifnt later there came a more cis tsnt hoot of an owl. This wzs followed tlmcst instantly by the howling cf a timber wolf at even a greater distance away; and then, from far olf in the gloom of the great forests that here covered the land, came faintly the homines of many wolves from many directions For a few minutes the bowlings continued; and then. ion upon the gloomy forests and the night shadowed hills, tame a great silence. Even I felt the portent of that silence. Strong Eagle liad not moved, but had sat listening with sn ever increasing tenrity; and all the warriors and the Orchestra Performs The orchestra, under the leadership of Mr.

The bigger the company, the better! ery one is welcome! mired and wondered greatly at my skill with the knife. The knives were quickly plucked from the tree and placed in my liands.

Again I paused to steady my heart and my nerves. Then I set myself firmly on my feet, fixed my eyes on the white spot, swung back my right hand, and cast a knife, and then, while yet tlie first knife was in the air. I cast the other knife. The two knives struck almost at the same instant and both stood quivering in the tree, side by side and well within the white spot. Strong Eagle, with a motion of his hand, silenced the shouts his warriors were about to utter, and himself strode to the tree, plucked forth the two knives testing the strength with which they had been thrown as he wrenched their points Iiom the wood, and then he strode back to me and placed the knivrs in mv hands lmiistll.

ulieiing a few words as lie old so. "He say he proud of son He name you Knife thrower." Singing Bird explained, lier own eyes shining.

ron Story of a Boy Who a Strange Land McNeil at that time I kn no words in the Indian language: but I was certain from his looks and actions and the looks and actions of the six warriors and the crowd of Indians that had gathered around them, that they were stirring words, such as a loader should speak, when a great danger threatens. Strong Eagle sat down, each of the six warriors arose in turn and spoke: and then, at the close of their talks. Strong Eagle spoke again, but now I could see plainly that he was giving commands and instructions. This ended what even I could understand was a council to consider what had best be done 111 the presence of some great danger; but as yet I could not comprehend what the danger was nor how it had made itself known to them. In my anxiety to know what was happening.

I turned to Mauniee. "What is it that troubles Strong Blagle and his people? I asked. "Iroquois!" and as she pronounced that dread word, I felt the shiver that ran through her body. "But Strong Eagle, my father, he great war chief. He no fear Iroquois," and hei eyes turned proudly to where her father stood in the midst of his warriors.

"He will fight; and lie poked his And every Beneath the And then when the Iroquois flee, they will leave many scalps behind." "But how do you know the Iroquois are coming? Who told you?" I asked, still puzzled, for I then knew little of the woodcraft of the Indians. "You think you hear owls, hear wolves; but Strong Eagle, he knows the cries of the woods, and he hear Iroquois in hoots of owls, in howls of wolves; but Strong Eagle big chief and he no afraid. He make ready to fight the Iroquois." "Give me my two throwing knives." I demanded. "I would fight the Iroquois, when they come." "You papoose. No fight.

Stay with squaws. You At that instant, when the words "Stay with squaws had angered my pride, my eyes saw the haft of one of my knives projecting from under a fold of the blanket that hung from Singing Birds shoulders, and the next instant my right hand had flashed swiltly to it and I had the knile before Singing Bird could stop me. "Look!" and I pointed to a white spot on the trunk of a tree, which stood in the bright light of one 01 the cbamp fires. a dozen yards away. See.

that is the face of an Iroquois chief!" and I swung back my arm and cast the knife, with all my strength back of it. just as the hand of Singing Bird was about to close around my wrist The knife sped through the air ike a fla of light and struck fairly in the center of the white spot. Singing Bird utiered an exclamation of astonishment railed shai ply to Strong Eagle. Mau 1'iee clapped her little hands with delight. S.iong I agle came swiftly to lite side of Sii gmg Bud.

Singing Bird pointed first to me. then the knile sticking in the h.ie spot on the trunk of the tree, and spoke a few words to Strong Eagwe. Eagle grunted in surprise, looked shrrpy at me. then at the knife and uttered a brief command. "He say.

do it again." Singing Bird trail. lated. handing me my other throw ing knife. I took the knile. my heart beginning to beat proudly, as I stood under the yes of tlie chief and his warriors, who had gathered thickly around us.

their Uuck eyes shining the firelight. Again the chief spoke. "Stick knife in tree by side of other again interpreted Singing Bird. 1 waili a moment to quiet iny heart and steady my nerves. Then I set myself 011 my ieet.

swung back my arm and again cast the knife, with all my strength back of it. Instantl; a great shout went up from the surrounding warriors, for my knife had struck and stood quivering in the tree, its blade not an inch from the blade of the other knife. Tell Strong Eagle." and I turned to Singing Bird I wished my Dear Lady Mother could have seen me at that moment! "tell him white boy is a man and would fight the Iroquois. Give him back his two knives." Again a great shout of approval went up. when Singing Bird had translated my words.

Strong Eagle came elos and again looked sharply 111 my face. Then he spoke. "He say. throw two knives once more. If you hit white spot with two knives, he give you knives to fight Iroquois." Singing Bird translated.

Again those grim warriors Khouted and 1 knew from the sound that they ad nose in every nook crack and cranny, Led, behind the door, looked up at Granny.
