fact that the water is not hot but

saying that the distance is so great
that the water has ample time to
cool before reaching the surface of the
earth.

etery. A fifth took to his bed and
babe fare to join them, not in conse-
quence of any hurt from horse or man,
or any illness that the English medi-
cine men could discover, but because
of young face that was always be-
fore the eyes Of his heart, for the sick
man was Sly Fox. Unhappily, it was
not only the face Of Skipping Bird that
he saw, but, with her and recipients of
her smiles, Lean Dog, and Big Thur
der, and Black Snake and Running
Elk, and who shall say how many
more? And sometimes he dreamed of
her mercenary parent, Mad Bull, trad
ing her off to a total stranger for great
wealth in ponies and blankets. It
seemed to him as if he would never get
back across the great water to the res
ervation, and, in that case, he might
just as we'll be on the happy hunting
ground in London, or anywhere else.
The accidents and sick list worried
the management as the superstitious
Indians began to fear that there was
some "bad medicine" or some hoodoo
in the conditions. Sly Fox's case be-
ing evidently pure case of love sick
ness that medical skill could not reach,
something had to be doing" beyond
the usual.
The English medicine men gave Sly
Fox advice he did not follow, and med
icine he would not take. His chiefs
and their medicine man held a pow
WOW over him, but their lamentations
and drum humping did him no good.

a healthy, vigorous and otherwise
sane young savage interested him as
philosopher. He assayed to reason
with him and was not little advan-
tagged in doing so by knowing a good
deal of the Sioux language, which he
had picked up during his nomadic
Western life. Nevertheless, he had no
better effect than any of the others.
Perhaps it is just as we'll not to re-
peat his cynical line Of argument. The
ideal feminine, the inspiration of art,
music, poesiy and religion, unuttera-
BILE and even adorable, he naturally
worshipped. The realizable feminine,
he regarded as might be expected of a
blase boulevardier. Of course it would
have been ridiculous for him to speak
of the Ideal, to love-sick young Sioux
buck.
Still the Indian pined and grew
weaker, so "Pete" tried a great and
wonderful experiment on him, having
first been pretty we'll assured that the
young fellow had never heard of
magic lantern. He was helped in his
design by his own somewhat copious
knowledge and keen artistic observa-
tons of Indian girls, and specifically
aided by Nate Salisbury and julie Keen.
Knowing Shipping Bird, Nate gave
Pete so close a description of her
charms that he was enabled to paint
a couple Of excellent lantern Slides
Then man possessing a good lantern
was hired to bring it, at midnight, to
the Wild West camp, that Sly Fox
might have a taste of "the white mans
magic"
The lantern man proved to be a
a living out of public entertainment in
small way as juggler, slight-of-hand
performer, ventriloquist, Punch and
Judy Snowman, or even clown in
circus, upon occasion, in addition to
the special line of business for which
he was now engaged. With the help
of Pete and one Of the interpreters it
was easy for him to learn the few
words of Sioux which should accom-
pany the pictures he was to show, ''the
patter," as he termed them, to be
spoken in a girls voice.
The magic ceremonial came off in
my log cabin long after the last out
slider had left camp. Sly Fox, led by
a couple Of friends, was brought in and
seated at one end of the cabin. In his
presence, that he might see there was
no deception, great sheet was hung
upon the bare logs Of the farther end.
At one side, pendant from a tripod,
was kettle, over a low fire, and Pete,
made up as most horrifying witch
muttered incantations-really recita-
tons of blank verse in several Ian
guages-and from time to time he
threw into the kettle small objects
which famed into various colors and
sometimes produced arocious smells.
An Indian deems drum beating essen
tial in any medicine making" and
never was that requirement better
filled than by a toy dxum-beating rab-
bit, worked by Johnnie Baker and
Billy Sweeney. Well did Sly Fox
know something would come Of beat
ing drum so fast as that. And some
thing did.
Clouds. rolled over a round space
that spread until it seemed as if that

The esteemed Cumberland Times finds
fault with the law that provides for the
payment of Si,lOO for holding a primary
election throughout Allegany county, but
sees no room for criticism in that same
laws provision for the payment of 5000 for
the municipal election of the city of Cum

An excellent comment.

dtion of the roads under the model sys-
tenn, as compared with the medieval,
but has evidently never heard that it
takes time, time, time, as we'll as money,
money. money, to make durable roads
The roads i'll the county may be bad
as they generally are at this season, but,
under model auspices, they are better
than the unpaved streets of Frostburg,
still worked under the medieval plan.
Again-the roads have cost SOL, 900,
the schools 100000, but what evidence
have the people that the schools are any
better than when they cost SOL 600 :?
There NAV be a few more schools, but
does more pay to teachers necessarily
purchase more scholarship. or more
effective tuition?

fashion of patching up" the roads.
