Their village was ON the site &C the
present city of Wichita, mewhere
near the sonp works. and was laid ont
in tcwY lots svee into the bad of the
sea.
They were brown skinned, beardless
and with hair black rs the alluvial soil
and stiff as the whiskers of the giant
post tertiary leopard
Their numbers had brought about
many improvements in the mode of liv-
ing. such as wearing loin cloths of ma
tive grasses and the hanging of shells
from the ear and nose.
For generations the fashion of fatten-
ing the forehead had prevailed.
Chug had small hands and feet, was
hairy as cave lion and wore whiskers,
and besides his head was not fiattened.
Such monstrosity could not be per-
mitted TO live.
The natural curiosity of the Tushe-
tushes, however, impelled them to nurse
Chug to life to see what he was like
when we'll.
The job of nursing Chug fell to Sun
bird. the only daughter Of the old chief.
She marveled at the brawny proper
tions of tho strange voyager.
She whiled away the long hours by
plating his whiskers and grooming his
brown fur until he shone like blooded
carriage horse.

She had been wooed by every youth
of the clan, had listened for awhile, and
then repuised every man of them.
No woman of the tribe was so beauti-

still he chided her.

During Chug's convalescence his days
were sweet with newness.
Instead of bullet headed Spat-Spat

hero was a creature with head like a
triangle, and with graceful figure,
smooth and soft to tho touch, and the
broiled steak of post tertiary reindeer
was charming to his palate
The vocabulary Of the language of
Chug and Sunbird contained but 600
words and nurse and invalid could soon
converse.
So happy was Chug that no hated to
tell the story of the passion which filed
his heart. and he reserved it from day

smoothed the fur of his broad shoulders.
When Sunbird's father comprehended
the trend Of affairs he did not CRATE his
teeth because, as a matter of fact, he
was fish eater and toothless.
But he spoke his mind.
"Come-the jig is upr" he shouted,
and dragged Chug to the place of execu-
ton.
This denouement astonished Chug SC

of elastic bush before he could make uI

The executioner brandished a pom
