GUIDED BY TIE TREES.
Indians Know Trend of the Forest
and Are Never Deceived

Indians Know Trend of the Forest
and Are Never Deceived.
The Indians are guided by the trees
more than anything else. If you look
across the lake you will see that the
tops of about half OF the tall pine trees
bend slightly toward the east, says
Recreation. There is a distinct trend
to the forest, always toward the east
On this the Indian relies implicitly,
and it does not deceive him. Again, if
an Indian, travelling in the forest.
makes a loop and intersects his own
trail, he knows it Immediately, without
seeing any footprints, because of the
character of the timber.
One of our party, accompanied by an
Indian, Big Paul, as guide, shot a
moose. Big Paul had never been in
that country before, and, as it was a
stormy day, without the sun to guide
him. he became confused in his sense
of direction and had to wander around
somewhat In order TO find the camp
again. But on the following day he led
us three miles through the forest to
! the carcass. He did not follow the
back TRAIL but went apparently by in
| stinct l followed him with my com
pass. He would vary and waver il
| his course nearly 90 degrees, first tt
right and then to the left, but he went
1 to the moose Now and again be would
point to something he remembered par
ticularly Here" he would say, Il:
| the rock where you set the compass
| down :" or. 'srIlis is where we were
when he heard the shot" Then ht
! would point to the ground, where Il
our asphalt-pavement-tr trained senses
there wasn't anything at all to see, an(
make no comment, but would smile a
1 US little and go on. By and by ht
came out exactly at the moose. All

60 RAYERS sat alone at little Ia
BILE in corner Of the cafe. The
continual hum and murmur of
iow-pitched voices, all the interminable
sounds of the restaurant surrounded
him, but he sat quite still, with his chin
resting in his hands, staring at the
empty chair opposite to him. The sight
OF pretty women, well-grOomed men, all
the bright, lively scene around him did
not entice him from his reverie even
for moment. At last Travers ner-
vously drained the cup to The last drop,
and then, YEARLY passing his hand
across his forehead, he assumed his for
mer attitude. Dreamily he fixed his
eyes on the vacant chair, and then be-
gan talking in a sort of breathless whis-
per- as if to some one seated therein:
Mamie, Mamie, it's so good to see
you again. Let's see, it's been three
years, almost, since that last time when
but we won't think of that now, We'll
just be happy. Tell, me, is your life
happy, Is he good to you? If he isn't

Yes, of course you do. But you were

Bishop Lawrence of the Episcopal diocese
of Massachusetts by the flood of letters,
which has been pouring in for several
months, regarding the so-called endless
have been started by him, that the bishop
has found it necessary to issue the fol-
lowing denial:
The Endless Chain Prayer, said to
have been written by Bishop Lawrence,
is a hoax Bishop Lawrence of Massa-
chusetts never wrote it and knows moth
ing about it. 1t is the work of some de-
mented or mischievous person."
A denial that such scheme had been
started by any church official or digni-
tary was prominently published in all the
Episcopal church papers, as well as in
the local secular papers in many cities.
The church officials also sent to Episcopal
clergymen throughout the country a letter
describing the hoax. Despite this, how
ever, there is scarcely a day when Bishop
Lawrence does not receive letters contain
ing inquiries concerning it. Such queries
have come recently from Florida, Texas,
northern and western States and points
in Canada. while only this week a query
regarding it was received by Bishop Law
renee from Paris, France
Accompanying the prayer was threat
that if the conditions were not complied
with some dreadful misfortune would fol-
low. This struck terror to many persons
and caused them to comply.
