THE GIRL OF
THE WOLF CLAN
A North American Indian Story of
Magic and Love in the Forest.

A wise old Indian once upon time
lived alone with his little nephew in
the depths of the woods. He was a
rich Indian, and had in his wigwam
many fine garments and gay feathers,
which he used to give to the young
warriors when they had distinguished
themselves in hunting or in battle.
But the best of the things he kept
for his nephew when he should grow
up.
When the boy got to be about nj
teen years old the uncle sent him into
the woods every day, where he told
him to listen until he heard sound
and then to run home and tell what
it was.
The first day the boy sat for long
time on a log and heard hardly
sound, for it was winter ana the Tor
ests were deserted. Finally he heard
"Chr-ch" twice repeated. Then he ran
home as fast as he could and said,
"I have heard it! / have heard
it!'
wait till 1 get my pipe" said the
old man, land then tell me what It
was"
When his pipe was going he said
Now tell me-" and the boy told him
what he had heard.
THAT was not the sound for which
you are to listen" replied the old
man, that is a snow bird
The next day he sent the boy again
into the woods. That day the boy
heard a sound like "To-whoo, to-
whoo," and ran back to tell his
uncle.
"Wait till I light my pipe" said the
old man, There, now, tell me.
That is not the sound said the uncle
when the boy had told him. THAT Is
the owl.
So morning after morning the boy
went to the woods and each day he
heard new sound and ran home to
tell of it, but it was always the bear,
the wolf the fox, the crow or some
other bird or beast which he heard,
and not the sound his uncle wished
him to hear; but by this listening he
soon became so that ne knew and
could distinguish afar off the cry OF
every living thing which inhabited the
forest: and really that was one of
the things his uncle wished him to
learn.
At last, one day, when the boy sat
on log i'm the forest and spring was
Just beginning to make itself felt in
the sunshine and to show itself in the
bursting buds of the trees, he heard a
sound coming through the woods
which he had never heard before. It
was Just at daybreak, and as the sun
rose up and sent its shafts of light be-
tween the branches and trunks of the
great trees, he heard sweet voices
singing:
IT belong to the wolf clan,
/ am going to marry him."
Surely this is the voice." cried the
boy and he ran home eagerly to tell
his uncle.
"Nowl" he cried as he burst into
the wigwam. II bring the news!

Most High Execuuoner, Light of
BeneVolence, Cutter of Heads, most
honorably do / beg of you to let me
paint a screen for you. Nothing that
is ready-made is good enough for your
illustrious nobleness."
Har Kari was much impressed by
0 Trubble Sos clearness of percep-
ton and agreed with him instantly
that he was right. So he ordered a
screen to be made Immediately.
And" he roared, as he strobe out
of the place, IF it doesn't suit, / will
have your head wrapped up in it be-
fore l send it back to your shop"
All Hari Kari's men laughed aloud
at this. They had cultivated the
habit.
o Trubble So began work at once.
and in four days he finished a Won
derful screen, which the best experts
declared was even finer than the one
that stood in front of the Mikado
when he had his face massaged in the
morning.
No wonder it was fine. Had not
little Muchie Joy sat for the picture of
the japanese maidens and had not
o Trubble So painted the moons from
life?
Proudly he bore the screen to the
palace of Lord Hari Kari, and behind
him followed troop of citizens, all
anxious to see the reward which they
were sure would be given to o Trub-
BILE So.
But what was this? o Trouble SO
had not been in the palace five min
utes before most lamentable cries
came from the interior, and in an
other moment the eight sword bear
ers rushed out, each with his sleeves
rolled up, and began to turn grind
70 I.f.
on every sword.
Then could be heard the shuddery
and thundery voice of the Most High
Executioner bowling:

swords. all even sharper than razors.
for the Most High EXecutioner often
said that there was nothing like having
good tools If you expected to amount
to anything in your profession.
Through a lane of PROSTATE persons.
Hari Kari went down the street until
he reached the shop Of Trubble So,
the famous maker of screens.
o Trubble So fell even flatter than
the rest of the people and bumped his
shins most painfully in so doing, but
he didn't mind, for he resolved inward
ly to overcharge Lord Hari Kari about
$50 per cent. on whatever he might
buy.
He decided to do this because he
needed the money, and bumped shins
require much solace.
Hari Kari alighted from his rick
shaw and entered the gorgeous house
of o Trubble So with a naughty stride
that nearly brought the beautiful
paper walls down in ruin.
20 Trubble Sol" he commanded.
Bring forth your finest screens, and
don't try to swindle me with any Sec
ond-hand trash!"
Lord Hart was thus impolite, be-
cause High EXecutioners with four
teen swords and more to be had for
the asking, can afford to be.
o Trubble So brought out all his
finest screens. They were beautiful
enough to make an art critic babble
about color effects and impressionism
like little child. But Hari Kari was
not a little child.
So he did not babble, but roared in
most shuddery and thundery voice:
rs this the best you have, miserable
painter of chromOs?'
o Trubble So almost fell down with
fear. To hide the weakness in his
knees he Frustrated himself again
three times, and as soon as he had
his breath back he said humbly:

The sailors were very much sur
prlsed. Sinbad was not so SURPRISED
because he had been on strange vow
ages before. He saw a dog running
past ana asked: Mister, what is the
name of this island?"
The dog stopped still, and was 50
surprised to see white men and hear
them talk that he did not know what

Slnbad and his men went among the
houses trying to find a street, but they
could not find any. At last they saw
a pig house, with two or three horses
standing in front of it, smoking. They
asked the horses what house it was
and laughed.
They can talk!" said one horse tn
another. They are white!"
They are strange animals" said
the other horse, putting his cigar. with
the lighted end in his mouth. "Au ex-

sinbad the Sailor was tired of these
little islands, and was sure the Island
of Diamonds was not among them. So
he told the sailors to turn the shin

The late Prof. Mommsen had a
horror of autograph collectors. One
day he received a request from a
young man whose father he highly
honored. Without replying to the
sons request he wrote a long letter
to the father giving his reasons for
refusing his autograph in detail. One
Of these reasons was that the collec-
tors made notoriety rather than fame
their standard, the result being that
professors, ballet girls, swindlers,
generals and others were mixed indis-
criminately in their albums. His let
