WHERE INDIAN IS HONEST.
In tic Far North He breaks In, hut
Not to Steal.

Not to Steal.
Many curious instances Of the man
ner in which the honesty of the Indian
nianifests itself are cited in the north
country Of the Canadian Northwest,
says the World To-Day.
One of the tales is OF native who,
desiring food and tobacco and blan-
kets, broke into the store of a remote
trading post which had been locked
and abandoned FOR IL few weeks while
the white men in charge transacted
business elsewhere. The Iulian sup
piled his needs and he left relts In
rayn,ait for what he took and months
later he came back to ascertain II he
mad left enough.
One Indian io;.nd Il post closed when
he went to IL to dispose of nis skins.
Being unwilling to wait, he forcibly ell
tered and left his pack. but nothing
with 1t to indicate his identity. Then
he retired, fastening the door as best
he could, and not until a year later did
he return.
When he walked into the post and
told his story the price of the skins
was handed over to him without ques-
ton. The accounts of the white man
had been carefully kept, and he was
certain that no claim but just one
would be made.
An unusual degree Of confidence ID
reposed In the half-breeds, who are
lieutenants Of the white traders. In
Edmonton l saw trader give one of
his half-breed employees $3.50 to be
taken to a distant post and there dis
tributed as wages to others. The two
shook hands and parted, not to meet
for a year, and the white man said he
was sure not cent Of the money would
fail to reach its rightful destination.
In the town Of Edmonton itself hon.
esty seems to vie with hospitality for
the credit Of being the most prominent
trait of the citizens Scores Of thous-
ands of dollars worth of furs are
stored there in warehouses which are
seldom or never locked or guarded.
Only the most valuable pelts are put
under lock and key, and then the pur-
pose Is more to protect from accidental
damage than from possible theft

THE LETTER I DID NOT SEND.
he was the friend Of my boyhood,

He was the friend of my boyhpod,
My youth and my manhood's prime,
We had vowed to be ever faithful
To the end Of our earthly time.
But somehow it happened we quarreled ;
One word to another led;
And our eyes were flashing in anger
And bitter was all we said.
That night wrote such letter
AS one might write to a foe.
And told him that never thereafter
Would wish his presence to know;
We must pass each other as strangers,
Our lives henceforward apart;
And let him know that forever
had torn him out of my heart.
Then sought my bed, still raging,
But courted slumber in vain;
The face of my more than brother
Rose before me ever again.
He was always so true beside me
And sharing all changes Of life;
Our words had been always Of loving
And never till now of strife.
And then our quarrel-what was II?
How did it ever betall?
Perhaps he was right-yes, / know 1t,
1t was I in the wrong. after all.
Then rose from my bed, took the letter,
And cast it into the fire;
And there saw 1t smolder in ashes;
And thus did my anger expire.
A fair morning shone on our meeting;
A look we could each understand
Had drawn us once more together
In a warm, firm grasp of the hand.
Not word was said OF our quarrel,
Again it was friend and friend,
Thank God that he never saw it
The letter l did not send

CHAPTER XII.

The shades of twilight were fast gath
ering on the aisles Of the old cathedral,
and the congregation, assembled In the
choir for afternoon service, began to won
der whether the chanter would be able
to finish without light. The beautiful
colors of the painted east window were
growing dim-exceedingly beautiful they
were when the sun illumined them. 1t
was a full congregation, unusually nu-
merous for a winters afternoon, and one
that threatened rain.
The service concluded, the bishop gave
the blessing. and the congregation left the
choir; but they did not leave the edifice :
they waited in the body of the cathedral
to listen to the music, for the organist
was treating them to some of the choicest
among his voluntaries. He was an emf
nent player, and now and then chose to
show them that he was so, and would
keep them, delighted listeners, full half
an hour after the conclusion of after
noon service.
Cyras, an INDUCED boy and wilful, had
scampered out to the cloisters, the moment
be could steal away from the paternal
surplice, drawing his brother with him.
Charley" quoth he, tits come on to
pour cats and dogs, and promised Dy-
nevor to go out with him after college.
You go in. and bring me my top coat"
"Oh, Cyras, don't send me! Let me
stop and listen to the organ"
''Tou stupid little monkey. Come, be
off; or else you know what you'll get. I'll
ALLOW you three minutes"
Master Baumgarten took out his watch
an appendage of which he was excessive
ly proud--as he spoke; and Charley
knowing there was no appeal against his
imparious brother, laid hold of the prayer
book, and flew off through the covered
passages which led into the deanery from
the eloisters.
CJras amused himself with kissing and
splitting Mt an unhappy cat. which had by
some mischance got into the closter
graveyard; and. just before the time was
up, back came the child, all GREATNESS
the coat over his arm.
Cyras snatched 1t from him, thrust an
arm into one of its sleeves, and was at.
tempting to thrust the other, when he dis.
covered that it did not belong to him
Charley had by mistake brought his own,
and Cyras could not, by any dint of push.
