the camp of the Two Kettle band
He was gone three days, and reap
peared in Perciva's Office clad ir
about four cents worth of buckskir
and cotton. PercivaI asked about
his clothes.
1T is great success, said the
reformer 80 instill that feeling

words were of Sioux manufacture, but
that is what they meant). 81 lent
it to Elk Walks A Away, a noted and
vehement drunkard, whose habits
need correcting sadly It made q
new man of him, did my broadcloth
suit; but to my regret in the even
ing he sold it to Lacy at the trad
ing post for a gallon of cologne, and
he drank the cologne for the alcho
hol that is in it, and for three days
he has been the most magniticently
sweet smelling sot of drunken beast
known to the Two Kettle band.
Hal" and he looked suddenly out of
the window. Look at thatl"
Percival turned and saw One
Fingered Pete Bunco riding past on
O calico pony and wearing with
great eclat No Hearts magnificent
reformatory clothing. Lacy was
always a quick trafficker.
II shall proceed now to the sec
ond course, said No Heart. L am
not discouraged. To inculcate self
esteem and laudable ambition to
be equal to ones superiors we must
provide the immediate surroundings
of those superiors. Wherefore"
Hold on, there, No Heart. Hold
onl" cried Percival. Lord bless
you, Injun, you are Gathering
around there with Sioux mixture
of verbosity and long words that
would drive one into cyclone cellar
for protection. Easy now, easy.
Confine yourself to English-and 22-
caliber English at that.
I'm Short" said No Heart, II am
going to take over to my camp
sewing machine, a set of popular
authors and double-seated cutter.
Seeing these, can you understand
how my people can fail to be filed
at once with the same ideas as the
whitesH Percival how does one
proceed to establish banking bust
ness? / think Throws His Hatchet-
at-His-M Mother ought to be cashier
We shall open next week.
Perclval looked in awe and won
derment at this remarkable philan-
thropist and wished him we'll. Two
hours later No Heart, still clad in
buckskin and rags, but driving
pair of detected Indian ponies,
hitched to a most startling and
gaudy sleigh, disappeared toward
the frozen river. He carried in the
rear seat q sewing and
about 80 handsomely bound books.
He was mounted on one of the
ponies when next be appeared at the
office of the newspaper Gentle, pa
tent resignation was depicted upon
his face, and he quietly moved into
the editorial room and seated him
self on a keg. He was silent for
several minutes, and then, speaking
neekly he said: /
You have perhaps heard that
Throws His Ratchet at His Mother,
Who was to have been cashier of the
'ank, enormously installing the
utter for a new kind of
olding-bed, lay down in it
o smoke himself to sleep. We
'uried some of Throws His Ratchet
t. His Mother, but there were not
nough ashes left of the cutter to
mention in an ordinary converse
ion. The books l distributed
.mong the Two Kettle band, and I
vas called upon to-day by deputa-
ion representing that the books
lad made enormously successful
uel, and requested that I get more.
Wy squaws l regret to say are
ools. They took the sewing-ma-
hine out and cut hole in the ice
nd dumped it into the river, for it
vas, they said, accursed.
Thus for six mon tbs this cheerful
eformer labored in the face of great
liscouragements, always meek, al
Ways hopeful and always willing to
pend his money for the furtherance
his race. 1t was q perfect picture
+ disinterestedness fighting circum-
tances. One day in the summer No
Heart appeared before Percival and
lade final report. +
