MoNTAGNAIS INDIANS.
They Are Hunters In the Strietest
Sense of the Word.

They Are Hunters In the Strlctest
Sense of the Word.
During nine months of the year
fall. winter and spring-the Monta-
gnais Indians of Canada spend their
lives in the "bush," hunting and trap
ping for pelts and meats. Then in
June they rendezvous at the particular
Hudson Bay company post where they
belong, trade off their hunt and settle
down for rest and recreation until the
middle Of August, when they are off
again for the winter. They have abso-
lutely nothing to do with the cultiva-
ton of the soil, being hunters in the
strictest sense Of the word. The In
dams who hunt about Lake Mistassini
form a subtribe by themselves, hay
ing the same name as the lake, and
their summer rendezvous Is at the
Hudson Bay company post on the
lake. Those who hunt south Of Mis-
tassini on the shores and tributaries
Of the Ashuapmonchouan river bear
the name of that stream. Those on
the Nekonba river bear its name, and
those who hunt nearer Lake st. John
are known by the Indian name Of that
lake, Pikonagami. All of these bands
rendezvous on the west shore of Lake
St. John, at Pointe Bieue, where the
government has set aside d reserve
and attempted to colonize the hunters
and teach them to become farmers.
East of Lake st. John is the Chicouti-
mi band. now much reduced, and
southeast of them the Tadousac band,
both of which are to be found disnib-
uted over the French Canadian dis
tricts Of the same names. There are
several other bands farther down to-
ward the gulf of st. Lawrence.-South-

boat; he had the grace to give the
credit to his luck.
Her disposition was more fully dis
closed as they drew away from the
beach Inshore with shoaling water,
the waves had been choppy and Spite
full but lacking force of weight.
Farther out, as the bottom fell away,
the rollers became more uniform and
powerful; heavy sweeping seas met
the catboat, from their hollows loom
ing mountainous to the man in the
tiny cockpit; who was nevertheless
aware that to steamer they would
be negligible.
His boat breasted them gallantly,
toiling sturdily up the steep acclivi-
ties, poising breathlessly on foam
crested SUBMITS for dizzy instants,
then plunging headlong down the deep
green swales; and left boiling wake
behind her-urging ever onward, hug
ging the wind in her wisp of blood
red sail, and boring into it, pulling at
the tiller with the mettle of a race
horse slugging at the bit.
Offshore, too. the wind stormed with
added strength. or. possibly, had fresh
ened. For minutes on end the leeward
gunwales would run green, and now
and again the screaming, pelting
squalls that secured the estuary would
heel her over until the water cascaded
in over the lee combing, and the rud-
der, lifted clear, would hang idle until,
smitten by some racing billow, the
tiller would be all but torn from
Kirkwood's hands. Again and again
this happened; and those were times
of trembling. But always the catboat
righted, shaking the clinging waters
from her and swinging her stem into
the wind again: and there would fol-
low an abbreviated breathing spell,
during which Kirkwood was at liberty
to dash the salt spray from his eyes
and search the wind harried waste for
the brigantine. Sometimes he found
her sometimes not.
Long after he had expected her to,
she went about and they began to
close in upon each other. He could see
that even with shortened canvas she
was staggering drunkenly under the
fierce impacts of the wind. For him
self, it was nip and tuck, now, and no
man in his normal sense would have
risked a sixpence on the boats chance
to live until she crossed the brigan-
tines bows.
Time out of reckoning he. was forced
to kneel in the swimming cockpit
steering with one hand, using the bail
ing dish with the other, and keeping
his eyes religiously turned to the belly
ing patch OF sail. 1t was heartbreaking g
toll; he began reluctantly to concede
that 1t could not last much longer
And if he missed the brigantine he
would be lost; mortal strength was not
enough to stand the unending strain
upon every bone, muscle and sinew,
required to keep the boat upon her
course; though for a time it might
cope with and solve the problems pre-
sented by each new, malignant billow
and each furious, bowling squall the
end inevitably must be a failure. To
struggle on would be but to postpone
the certain end save and ex-
cept the possibility of his gaining the
brigantine within the period of time
strictly and briefly limited by his pow
ers of endurance.
Long since he had become numb
with cold from incessant drenchings
of icy spray, that piled in over the

Deliberately the fisherman weighed

Eighty pounds, together; the chain

The shifty, covetous eyes ranged
from the treasure in his hand to the
threatening east. A puff of wind
caught the sail and sent the boom
athwartships, like a mighty fail.
Both men ducked instinctively, to es-
cape a Draining.
How do 1 know?" objected the
skipper.
I'm telling you. If you've got eyes,
you can see," retorted Kirkwood saw
agely, seeing that he had erred in
telling the truth; the amount he had
named was too great to be grasped at
once by this crude, cupidous brain.
How do 1 know?" the man repeated.
Nevertheless he dropped watch and
chain into his pocket, then with
meaning grimace extended again his
horny, greedy palm.

man. The knowledge that the Alethea
was minute by minute slipping beyond
his reach seemed to madden him.
White Tipped and ominously quiet he
rose from his seat on the combing, as
without answer, the fisherman, crawl
ing out on the overland, began to haul
in the dory.
Ashore ye CO." he pronounced his
ultimatum, motioning Kirkwood to
enter the boat.
The American turned, looking for
the Alethea, or for a vessel that he
believed bore that name. She was
nearing the lightship when he found
her, and as he looked a squan blurred
the air between them, blotting the
brigantine out with a smudge of rain.
The effect was as if she had vanished
as If she We're forever snatched from
his grasp; and with Dorothy aboard
her-Heaven alone knew in what need
of him!
Mute and blind with despair and
wrath, he turned upon the man and
caught him by the collar. forcing him

wood far the slighter, but strength
came to him in the crisis, physical
strength and address, such as he had
not dreamed was at his command
And the surprise of his onslaught
proved an ally of unguessed potency
Before he himself knew it he was
standing on the overhang and had
shifted his hold to seize the fellow
about the waist; then, lifting him clear
of the deck, and aided by a lurch of
the catboat, he cast him bodily into
the dory. The man, falling, struck his
head against one of the thwarts, a.
glancing blow that stunned him tenn
Without rising he worked the pain
ter loose and cast the dory adrift;
then crawled back into the cockpit
No pang of compassion disturbed him
as he abandoned the fisherman to the
mercy of the sea: though the fellow

amid a tangle of cordage slippery with

clumsy expertness bringing the dory's

the east with somber eyes, he ship

halyards AS the sail ratified up, flap

relief-for it meant so much time saved
that 1t was already close reefed.
But when at last the boom was
thrashing overhead and the halyards
had been made fast to their cleats,
the fisherman again stood erect. peer
ing distrustfully at the distant wall
of cloud.
Then, in two breaths, Cant do it,"
he decided; mot at the price"

At a loss completely, Kirkwood
found no words. He dropped his head,
considering.
Not at the price" the sullen voice
iterated; and he looked up to find the
cunning gaze upon him.
How much, then?"
Five poun' I'll have-no less, for

Impossible. I haven't got It,"
In silence the man unshipped the
tiller and moved toward the cleats.

Kirkwood unbuttoned his coat and,
freeing the chain from his waistcoat

had designed to leave them as security
for the two pounds, and had delayed
stating the terms only for fear lest
they be refused. Now too late as ever,
he recognized his error. But surely.
he thought, it should be apparent even
to that low intelligence that the time
piece alone was worth more than the
boat itself.

larger vessel. Every minute that tho
putative Alethea put off coming about
brought the catboat nearer that goal,
but Kirkwood could do no more than
hope and try to trust in the fisher
mans admission that it could be done.
1t was all in the boat and the way sne
handled.
He watched her anxiously. quick to
approve her merits as she displayed
them. He had sailed small craft be-

and swift, built to serve in sum-
mer winds and protected waters, never
such one as this. Yet he liked her.
Deep bosomed she was, with no cen
terboard, dependent on her draft
and heavy keel to hold her on the
wind; stanch and seaworthy, sheathed
with stout plank and ribbed with sea-
soned timber, designed to keep afioat
in the wickedest weather brewed by
the foul tempered German ocean.

danger; the wind and waves together
would carry the boat ashore. /.
For that matter, the' man was even
then recovering, struggling to sit up.
Crouching to avoid the boom, Kirk
wood went forward to the bows, and,
grasping the mooring cable, drew it in,
slipping back into the cockpit to get
stronger purchase with his feet. 1t
was a struggle; the boat pulled slug
gishly against the wind, the cable
inching in jealously. And behind him
he could hear a voice believing
inarticulate menaces, and knew that
in another moment the fisherman
would be at his oars.
Frantically he tugged and tore at
the Shiny rope, hauling with will
and a prayer 1t gave more readily,
toward the end, but he seemed to
have fought with it for ages when at
last the anchor tripped and he got it
in.
Immediately he 1eaped back to the
stern, fitted in the tiller, and seizing
the mainsheet, drew the boom in till

He was hard aboard when, the sail

away, dozen feet separating them In
a breath.
A yell of rage doomed down the
wind, but he paid no heed. Careless
alike of the dangers he had passed and
those that yawned before him, he trim

port tack, heading directly for the
