A DAKOTA GIRLS DREAM.

/
4 dow. My little brother had been making good use
OF tie new soft snow. and after "a loren Of hard
work, 10! there stood four as brave warriors 40
ever went on the warpath. Their feathers, waving
EFandly IN the breoza and their tomahAWks and
4 seal ping-k knives. gave them "A highly satisfying
! resemblance 10 the red man of the forest As
gAzed iniently on Sneir savage faces anu waving
piuines. The outer layer Of snow, which soiiened
somewhat the irreguarity Of their wild forms,
slowly turned into a dark mantle, which looked
! very much like an Indian blanket rubbed my
/ eyes aud looked again, and obi dresdfull the
elhels were no longer stuck ia brainless heads OF
snow, but IN real, live Indian hair, and Ia place OF
rue sticks were real tomahawks and scHlping-
knives
SLOWLY tho feet began TO move, and then. with
blood -curdiing war-whoop they started for the
mousse, bursting the door open and crowding IN.
%! how frightened wasl and tried vsiuly TO keep
hidden nom their sight. But suddenly one Of them
caught sight of me and stopped instantly, with
surprised Ughi"
grew FAINT with terror while they crowded
around me aud held ln animnted debate ia the ba-
koia tongue over my trembling form. Finally, after
much loud talking waving Of hands and pointing
OF fingers toward the setting sun one fierce brave
al bedeeled with paint aud feathers caught hold
OF my hair, while another, similarly oruamented,
li!ted hia scalping-k knife. With terrified scream
threw up my hands aud awcke. FcGrfully looked
around, but no Indian was in sight Outside, those
four snow Indians stood. ns they did when lay
down. with the wild west wind blowing in their
siolcal iaces aud around their grotesque forms As
gozed 1 thought Eow glad l WAS that by little
broi hcr's Indians were only snow men alter all
