Charlie. acting upon tac spur of the
moment. could not help giving him
this little thrust.
IL was n keen one.
The others Jaw dropped. his eyes
momcntnriiy rolled In n spasm OF
agony. and tao sweat seemed to break
out upon his brow.
Charlie saw and was satisfied.
He had given the conscicncclcss
wretch body-biow In return for his
vile threats.
Capt Brands spasm lasted but a
brief space OF time. and then hc re-
covered his scifposscssion.
There was a p.culiarity about the
captain that seemed very marked
when In rage his eyes became quite
bloodsho,. and siowed like the orbs of
n hyena upon the deserts OF which he
loved to talk.
And jus, row they were merry. In

Here. in this public place. the

Besides. Charlie possessed tho idea
that he could hold his o~n at any
time against the fellow. True. he
vas smaller than the captain. but a

Indinn Prayer sticks.

Those acquainted with Indian Gus
toms know of the prominence that
feathers hold in the religious and So
cial ceremonies of the red men. Par
ticularly among the Navajoes and Pu-
ebios are these plume emb!ems be-
lieyed to have the utmost efficacy for
good or bad.
All about any Pueblo town may be
seen carefully whitfield sticks, each
with a tuft of downy feathers, geners
ally white ones, bound at the top of it.
They are prayer sticks and are quite
us curious as the prayer wheels Of
Burma and the paper prayers Of the
Chinese. The feathers, stick and man
ner of tying the feathers vary accord
ing to the nature of the prayer. The
Indian who wishes to ask favor of
the "Trues" prepares his feather
prayer with great secrecy. Then, TAX
| ing it to a proper spot, he prays to
those above, and, planting his stick,
leaves it to continue his petition.
