pelted and drenched us. We shipped
water about as fast as Hawk could
bail it, and the flood washed from stern
to bow and back again as we mounted
a wave or tumbled over it.
But we scudded before the gale like
loon, and within fifteen minutes from
the time we had picked up the girl we
bumped into the sands of the main
shore opposite our house.
AS yet the girl had shown no signs
of life, and I helped Doris and Edith
to carry her, going at half run up
the house path. The Indians followed

weird cadences above the boom Of the
lake and the roar of wind in the trees.
Once inside the house we set to
work theoretically, following the we'll
known methods of posing the body,
working the arms and administering
hartshorn at the nostrils. When the
Indians came in the women ceased
their outcries, but stood looking upon
our operations in gloomy disapproval.
Presently, however. when Doris
again administered hartshorn and tick
led the throat with cranes wing. the
girls breast heaved and she gave a
sudden gasp. Cries of wonder now
came from all the Indians, and when,
some time later, our patient, very
much alive, was resting upon a bed,
they stood, with awed faces, gazing at
my sister Doris as devout heathens
may be supposed to look upon their
idols.
They seemed to think that she alone
had performed the miracle of bringing
back to hfe, and that she had done it
with the cranes wing, which house

fish in their eyes. We fed our Pill
layers and kept them over night, and
by their manners they certainly
showed appreciation Of our services.
Nothing was said about their trespass.
We had been fellows and friends in
distress, and I think they felt, as we
did, that there should be no question
between us of disturbing nature.
That was five years ago, and no Pill
lagers-save four-footed ones-have
since disturbed any property or thing
of ours. We have now a ginseng plan

creasing dividend upon our labors.-

Aud thu he wouldn't labor
In the ordinary way,
For a little man or woman
He would slave the ivelong day.
He could make bow and arrow
That would shoot most out of sight,
And the sailing boats he fashioned
Were wonder and delight;
And he told the finest stories,
While. he whitfield at his work,
OF gorillas, wolves and grizzlies,
And the wars against the Turk.
So when he died the children
Wept as tho their hearts would break,
And I'm sure he's gone to Heaven,
If it's only for their sake;
He was lazy, old and shabby.
And ne'er-do-well, know,
But the Judge above is lenient.
And he loved the children So
