Continued from last week.
had emerged from the last "shade'
of my journey and was just entering
the last sun when the red roofs Of
the government buildings loomed in
sight. Half an hours drive brought
me to them. The first white man l
met was the government doctor. On
learning who l was, he insisted that
/ should remain with him the rest of
the day and over night. / was very
glad for such privilege and after
turning my horse into pasture and
getting some of the dust from my cloth
ing, 1 joined him on the veranda.
He introduced me to his family, and
then brought out rocker and bade me
to make myself perfectly at home. 1t
was delightful after that rough trip to
rest in a soft cushioned chair on a
shady veranda, famed by the cool
breezes laden with the smell of new
mown hay. The doctor had three very
pretty little girls who, after a little
coaxing, came to me and when took
them on my lap and began asking
questions, they became very talkative.
All of them wanted to talk at once and
tell of their pets. There were Bright
eyes and Nimb1e-foot, their cats that
caught squirrels every day. Why, if
it had not been for them the squirrels
would have eaten up their peas-the
little thievesl And Watch was just the
rRUEsT dogl He would growl when
ever a stray animal or bad Indian
came along. But the one concerning
which they were most enthusiastic was
Two step. o, he was just the dear
est, the gentlest, and he wouldn't hurt
anybody!
"And what is Two-step7' asked.
"WhY, our pet pony"
'sAnd why doyou cali him Two-step?'
80, because he takes such dainty,
little steps with his two front feet,
they all helped to answer. Then moth
ing would do but that their fathei
must go and saddle the pony SO that
might see how we'll they couid ride
The indulgent sire was soon returning
from the stable followed by Two-step

Sc ing faces that they expected congratl
d lations on their accomplishment. Whe
90 I praised them for their horsemanshi
81 and Two-step for his gentleness ar

ure.
In the evening, the doctor and

q fished in so much that we had no su
