fresh torches began to snore, In angry sput-
tiers, and the fire, which had long since be-
gun to wink drowsily, shut its last red eye
and lay in total oblivion.
Left sat up reluctantly ana stretched MS
arms over his head with a regretful sigh.
Leaning back against the bearskin to
stretch his arms again and yaWn, he SAID
thoughtfully, your accomplishments have
remedied my misfortune that last winter I
was obliged to kill youth who was OF great
value to me-.
The scribe sat thrusting his legs out be-
fore him and working the ringers OF MS
cramped hand in a stupor of WEAKNESS. He
awoke suddenly and, through the pickering
light Of the one remaining torch, shot
stealthy glance at the chiefs face.
After a while he said, carelessly: OBJ

his value outweigh his crimer
Smothering a yawn, Left rose to his feet
and stood looking down at his follower
while he buckled his cloak around him.
Yes" he said, slowly; yes. his value
might have outweighed his crime-but not
his deceit 1t was not only because ne
broke my strictest orders That slew nims
II was because, while pretending to submit
to me- he was in truth scheming to get
the better of me. And because he and his
hot-headed friend, Sigurd Haraldsson, had
the ambition to penetrate the state OF my
feelings and handle me you handle your
writing brush there. Is 1t to be expected
that a man would take it well to be fooled
by "a pair OF boysf'

at a huge furry skin that hung on the wall
in front of him.
IF he was simple enough to expect that
he could play with you and then survive
the discovery of his trick he deserved to
die, for nothing more than his folly" he
said, bitterly.
He Strengthened himself suddenly and
drew a long breath, though to speak
further, but at that moment the chief
turned and left the booth.
While the Southerner stood looking after
him a sound like smothered laugh came
from the corner where Kark slept. Alvin
wheeled toward 1t, but before he could take
a step Rolls arm stretched out from his
bunk by the high seat and caught his
friends belt in Q wise.
1T is unnecessary to soil your hands with
snakes blood just now, he SAID gently.
Besides serpents fangs. the fhraii mas
also serpent's cunning in his ugly head.
He knows that Left Will not for any res

is writing down his history. Walt until
the records are finashed, then 1t Will b

He pulled his comrade down on the bunk
beside him and held ham there until the
sleep Of utter WEAKNESS had taken him into
ITS safe keeping.

drew his horn nearer with one hand, and
with the other pushed a bowl out of his
way. Then dipping his brush in the purple
wine, he began to paint strengthening
runes on the fair new boards before him.

Almost with the weight of blow, Left s
hand fell upon his shoulder.
"Runesv' he cried, in voice that
brought every man to his feet. even those
who had fallen asleep over their drinking.
"Runes? Is it possible that you have the
accomplishment of writing them?"
His hold upon the shoulder frightened OF
sudden to such a pressure that the young
man was fain to drop his brush with a
gasp Of agony and catch at the crushing
hand.
You have had this power all these
months that you have known Of my great
need. How comes it that you have never

with pain, the rune-writer met Leif's gaze
unflinchingly.
Help you, chief?" he repeated, wonder
ingly. How was I to know that Norman
writing would be of assistance to you?
When did you ever tell me of your need?"
Though his gaze continued to hold the
Norman for a while, Leifs grip on his
shoulder slowly relaxed Then, gradually,
his eyes also loosened their hold. Finally
he burst into a loud laugh and slapped him
on the back.
by the edge of my sword, your wit is as
ninlble as rabbit he swore. II cannot
blame you for this. At least, you lost little
time in coming to my support as soon as 1
had told my need. By the mass, Robert
Sans-Peur, you could not have brought
your accomplishment to better market!
I tell you frankly that it is of more value
to me than any warriors skill In the world,

Unclasping the gold chain from has neck,
he threw it over the Normans head.

Decked with the shining gold Of his
triumph, the masqueraddng thrall stood

INDIAN NAMES.
Complete Revision Now Going on Un-
der the Government.


The government is now at work on a
complete revision of the names of all the
Indians of the United States The work
has been progressing quietly under the
general supervision of Hamlin Garland, the
well-known novelist who accepted the duty
at the request of President Roosevelt. DR..
Charles Eastman. who was for many
years in the Indian service, latterly as ply
sician at the Crow Creek Indian agency,
Is revising the Sioux rolls, under a special
appointment. Robert Byrnes, a bright
Cheyenne boy is going over the rolls of
the Cheyenne and Arapahoe agency, in
Oklahoma, and other rolls are being re-
vised. The work will be continued until
the gigantic task is finished. The work is
complicated one, and will require a
considera BILE period in its contamination.
Commissioner Of Indian Affairs Jones has
adopted two blank forms for use in max
ing these radical changes in the fanciful,
sometimes unpronounceable. and ofttimes
vulgar, nomenclature Of the red men.
The names as they now exist often
unpronounceable, and their English trans
lation unfit for publication There IS moth
ing now. as a rule, to show the family re-
lationship. 1t Is proposed to remedy all
these discrepancies, and If the work had
been undertaken and completed long ago
the present difficult and complicated work
Of enrolling Indians for allotment purposes
would have been a simple matter. The OBJ
ject of the government Is to adopt names
that are proper, distinctive as family
names, and, under the latter requirement,
such as will make title to allotments etc,
clear The blanks which will be used in
the enormous work have separate columns
for allotment numbers, the permanent
name which includes the family surname
and the first name; the name as known
among the Indians themselves; the English
translation of such Indian name. the latter,
if It is proper, euphonious and otherwise
unobjectionable will be retained as the
permanent name; the sex and age, the re
lationship in the family, a description of
allotment and place for specifications as to
relationships other than those of the i'm
mediate family and for general remarks.
