THE REINDEER PACK.
A Christmas Tragedy.

Charley Big Foot was tall. peck
marked Sioux, who had been caught
stealing cattle in the land of the Crows.
Heap bad Injun' was the verdict of the
Grow council, which meant that he was
condemned to month of servitude on
their reservation. Now there is an an
cient law among these Northern tribes
regarding the duty of prisoners. which
brings into everlasting contempt the man
who runs away from punishment. SO
Charley Big Foot needed no watching.
but did his work as if he were getting
pay, and when it was done went and
came quite as he chose. 1t was early in
December when Charley went into cap
uvlty, and the naked ridges along the
valley of the Little Horn were under n
foot Of snow, which had been swept and
frozen by the winds until the plains were
like great white rock holding the vault
Of heaven on its rim. Charley knew eY-

One day this bad Indian felt cheap

medicine man. Sitting on warm furs be
fore the fire of the Crow doctor, he heard
the young men tell of what had happened
at the white mans school The shame
and horror of reading, writing. spelling
figuring and praying were all described
and there was great fun in the red mans
tepee. All agreed there was n better
sense in the screeching of an owl, or the
bowling of Il coyote. Suddenly the laugh

curiosity rested on the dark faces around
the fire. The boys were telling how
Santa Claus came to the agency. and of

world. 1t is navigabe for large steam

from its mouth. to where the Lcwcs and
Pclly rivers unite to form it. or farther
than from New Orleans to st. Paul, and
more than twice as far as from New Or
leans to Chicago and navigable for light
draft boats hundreds of miles farther up
each of these arms. At its mouth II is
about sixty miles wide. and 400 miles
above it is from eight to ten miles in
width. 1t drains an empire of more than
100000 square miles and discharges near
ly as much water into the Behring sea
as the Mississippi does into the Gulf of
Mexico. Scores of mighty tributaries,
many of them nayigable streams, pour
their waters into its majestic channel.
About 1850 miles above its mouth, the
Klondike, a clear. shallow river. perhaps
200 miles long, and swarming with fish,
