The very next day she started out to
cure herself When no one was looking
she took berry pail and stole out to
the barn where the salt was kept
With the pail of salt upon her arm she
trudged straight out to the cattle PAS
ture. Her little heart went chug like n
steam launch. and her feet seemed

and say. "Oh. Sally, anywhere but the
pasture"
But they took her there. She let down

The cattle at the far end of the pas
ture heard her call and lifted their
heads

surely meant salt.
''Moo-oo-ooi" Across the field they
came. galapty-gallop.
Sally shook like an aspen leaf but held
her ground. for the reason that she was
too far from the fence to run for it.
and the one tree was too high to climb.
With fearful haste she flung the salt
far and wide.
Within a few feet of her they stopped
and nosed i'm the grass for the salt,
mumbling and munching contentedly and
never noticing little scared Sally.
She waited till they were ali busy and
then turned and fled like the wind Over
the fence, pattering down the road she
went. never daring to look behind, and
she never halted till she was safe in her
mothers arms.
And the worst OF the story is that
Sally was not cured She is just as
afraid of a cow now as she ever was.

Most Of these families bear the names
OF certain localities. and were originally
village communities, but are considered
as relatives; therefore, marriage is not

Each family has a number OF crests

lions of the family.
These Indians are in the habit OF erect

@He Flew 1t With All His Skill.

Dick Spencer lived in a town near a
great gorge, through which there ran
river full of rapids so fierce that no
man had ever been able to devise boat
that could live in the swirl. AS a re-
suit whenever people wanted to cross
from one side of the gorge to the other
they had to go many miles around by
way of a ford far above, near the head
of the river.
Much time was wasted in this way.
and at last the town authorities sent to
firm of engineers and gave them a
contract to build a fine, steel bridge
across the place
Within a few months the steel Orders
and beams were unloaded at the edge of
the gorge, and then men came to erect
the bridge. But they had hardly begun
before they stopped again. for they
realized suddenly that, while their plans
provided for everything that was neces-
sary TO build a bridge. they had not
devised a way 10 get the first beam
across. The gorge was nearly half a
mile wide. and there was no beam or
plank long enough in the whole world.
of course, to lay across the ehasm so
that men could begin to work.
Dicks father was the mayor OF the
town. and when he went down TO the
river 10 see the engineers they told him
their trouble.
you see" said they. I'VE thought It
would be easy enough TO carry a wire
cable across the river in a boat; but
now we find that no boat ever made
could live for a moment in these terrible
rapids. The gorge is far too wide TO
throw, or even shoot. something across,
hot IN n
The engineers spent some days exam
ming the shores on both sides, but they
found that the rapids were bad for so
great a distance that there was no
place where they could try to get cable
across with any prospects of success.
After consultation they said TO Dick s
father:
1--WE wish that you would let us have
the best kite-ayer among the boys of the
town We may be able to do what was
done at the Niagara gorge. where the
engineers got the first cable across by
flying a kite from one bank to the 9TH
er. and then by means of the kite string
they hauled a heavier string over, and
so on until they got a string heavy
enough TO haul a rope over, and then
the rope pulled the nrst wire cable
across"
Dick. who held the honor OF being the
best kite-nyer. hurried home and re-
turned with his biggest kite. but. though
he flew IL with all his skill. 1t was i'm
possible TO get the kite over the gorge.
Whichever way. the wind blew. there
was an eddy over the rapids that drove
the kite back every time The engineers
were unwilling 10 give up, and they en-
couraged Dick To keep 1t up for a whole
day. But then they had to confess
that the kite plan would not work, and
they sat down TO figure out some other
plan.
I'VE are sorry" they said finally to
the town authorities, but we are afraid
that the only way to erect the bridge
will be to dam the river up near it's
mouth and make a false channel for il,
80 that we can work in the gorge: but
this will cost q great deal OF money
more than the bridge itself.
That night at supper Dicks father
