A returned missionary from south
eastern Alaska tells in The Midland
Christian Advocate of a strange custom
among the Indians of that region:
When a difference arises between
two of them, and friendly settlement
seems impossible, one of them threatens
the other with dishonor. He will cover
the face of his foe with shame. He cx-
ecutes his threat by tearing up a certain
number of his own blankets. The only
way his antagonist can get even with
him is by tearing up greater number
of his own.
If the contest is prolonged. it results
in the destruction OF all the blankets
.ney have, each Indian destroying his
own. The one who destroys the greater
number is regarded as having won the

Between two guardsmen we awaited
In the cabinet the kings pleasure. The
servants and attendants of the palace

man who killed him.

Shortly after setting the town on the
heels of Beverley and the humble cadet
they discovered parchment protrud-
ing from the dead nobleman's pocket.
and this paper. being read by the cap

posed ambassador in his true colors-
those of a spy employed by the govern
ment of Bohemia. And later the king
drew from the sobbing Princess Barbara
the assertion that it was under the in
t1uence of this English knave. and not
for any displeasure at her lover of Wass-
mark, that she had undertaken her little
trip in her coach.
"And now. Z" said the king. placing
