ne made a thank-offering to the
"Great Mystery"
Again he was in need, and again
in the morning he shot a magic
arrow, and at nightfall beside his
campfire he found an elk lying
with the arrow in his heart.
Once more he ate the tongue
and offered up the body as a sac
rifice. The third time he killed
a moose with his arrow and the
fourth time a buffalo.
After the fourth arrow had
been spent the young man came
one day out of the forest, and be-
fore him there lay great circu-
lar village of skin lodges. At one
side, and some little way from
the rest of the people, he noticed
a small and poor tent where an
old couple lived all alone. At the
edge of the wood he took off his
clothes and hid them in hollow
tree. Then, touching the top OF
his head with his staff, he turned
himself into little ragged boy
and went toward the poor tent.

n UTSIDE of the door he saw an old
woman chopping wood, so he APP.
" preached and offered to do the
work for her. After the wood was
neatly piled he was invited in to supper.
AS he entered the almost barren tent
he saw feeble old man on a bundle or
skins The host and hostess were very
kind to him, and soon he learned their
sad history
The beautiful daughter. who was
loved by them as dearly as lie ltseL,
had disappeared a year ago, and since
then their home had been lonesome ana
sad.
No one knew how, when or where she
had gone, and although the entire
village had searched for her many days
she was not found.
The father had now been sick some
time and was gradually losing his
mind from grief
The story so touched the boy that
he resolved to stay for awhile ana help
the old people.
One night the father was very low,
and the boy, resuming his real form,
went forth into the forest to pray.
Failing upon his knees he cried: Great
Mystery / pray you guide me in this
hour of sadness and tell me how l may
help my friends"
Presently a soft voice like the rust
ling of leaves was heard to say: THE
great mystery, God, will show you the
way to the daughter. Three of the ar
rows will be your guides and the fourth
will be found in the hand of the maiden
you seek"
Slowly the young man rose to his
feet, and ahead of him was bright
arrow.
He followed the paths pointed out,and
at last he came to a small canyon lined
with caves in which a number of In
dians lived.
Coming toward him was maiden
carrying an arrow.
81 have been waiting a long time;
will you take me to my homer" she
said, and took his hand without invi-
tation.
When they reached home the sight
of his daughter restored the father,
body and mind, and after some time
the young man and the maiden We're
married.

AS he approached he noticed an Old
and feeble lady in front of the tent.
The boy lifted his ragged cap, saying,
81 am hungry, oh, so hungry; could
YOU give me something to eat and
drink"
"Child," said the poor woman, "it has
been many days since we have had
anything to eat, but if you will come

into the tent I shall give you warm
drink and a place of lodging"
The boy followed her into the tent,
and there. wrapped up in a skin he
saw an old man.
THAT is my husband" said the old
ladv. and as she said this the boy
thought he heard a slight sob in her
voice.
HE is a leper,' she continued 'and
I fear his life is nearing its end.
She fixed a drink for. the boy, who
drank it down in a gulp. Then he rose
and said: You have been good to me
and 1 will return the favor. with
that he changed himself back to the
young man. Taking out one of the ar
rows, he shot the sick man in the
breast. Instantly the leper became
well. Then he shot one into the ceiling
and the poor tent changed into chiefs
lodge, and then he shot one into the
air and a fine deer lay at their feet.
The young man went on his way once
more. FRANK TOM HOWELL.

fire a beautiful young woman, all in
