taking him to the wood-lot, which was

and his dog went of together, always re-

until one afternoon, as they were Jogging
homeward, the sled cantcd on a stone,
the uppermost log on the load rolled Of

Knocked him down, and held him there

4 MODoC IDEA

Captain Jack was certainly cunning
Indian, aud looked more to results than
to the equity of their attainment. The
day previous to his execution the post
chaplain was doing his best to prepare
the captain for the fatal hour, and nsrrat
ed to him the beauties Of the heavenly
Kingdom. The tale seemed not only to
interest, but to affect the tawny wretch,
who asked the chaplain if he knew all
about the happy land and the Heavenly
Father. The chaplain said he thought he
did. Well, said Captain Jack you know
all about Him; me give you ten horses,
you take my place tomorrow. Desirable
as horses are on the plains, the chaplain
did not encourage the idea OF exchange,
and intimated that the programme docid'
cd upon by the military court would have
to be carried out The captain suggested
that 'swop' was the best thing be could
do, and resigned himself to his doom
