pitched beside those of Red Clouds hunting village.
For weeks we canped side by side and intimacy
enhanced by mutual passion for hunting.
One day, shortly after Red Cloud and his people
had camped beside u.s. I came in from hunt after
antelope and with my wagon loaded with dozen
specimens of all sorts of the game 1t insisted in
camp that should have a photograph taken of
the bunch, and SO photographer was summoned
from the nearest end-of-track" town. 1t
after he had grouped us and | was posing, sitting
upon my pony with antelope tied behind across
the saddle and my pile of game in front, that Red
Cloud came into camp from his village The Chief
much impressed with the scene, and when
finally he was shown finished photograph he
showed keen pleasure and appreciation.
Some days later he sent French half breed, who
had married member of his band, to ask if

early in the morning of clear and beautiful October
day, and l concluded that hunt with Chief Red
Cloud just the recreation that l needed. In
half hour off ponies | had then
learned to speak the Sioux after fashion, and |
look back to that days hunt as one of the most
entertaining of my life.
The Chief able to show some tricks in
approaching the antelope in exchange for my
hibtion of shooting with long range rifle.
Our choicest feat of the day was under his super
vision when dismounted from horses and
approached herd of antelope walking
plain as level as barn floor. The thing was simple
enough. With whole bunch of antelope paused
and at gaze, at a half mile distant, we walked
straight up within shot of them Does this seem
incredible Nothing could have been easier. With
his knife the Chief cut branches from the surround

arranged in cluster, tying the ends with; buck
strings and arranging the bunch that by stoo "

When a woman is attacked by
footpad or some hyena of the
night, she almost invariably fights
furiously her poor, weak, woman's
fight against her strange assailant

But how many victims have been
found done to death without the
sign of a struggle after evens prov

assassin had been known, often
loved by the unfortunate one?
The woman who gives her whole
self in true love to a man, whether
the giving be legaliZed or whether
it is denounced by both church and
state, it is still a proof Of conf
dence but in the case of sinful
love the womans trust must be alb

loyalty is her sole shelter from the

Can any horror then, known to
human nature, equal that moment
of Unreasonable anguish, when

savage murder in his eyes? Be-
wildered, dismayed, sick with the

Perhaps she sees a picture of

men had to sit on the extreme front edge
