Blazed Her Way.

There is story about Alaska ana
its people in which is mentioned a
man who chose bride from among
some of the Indian tribes up toward
the Chilcoot pass, He took her to
large city, Montreal perhaps. and
left her in splendid hotel while he
went out to see some one about a
dog. She missed him sadly. She sat
at the window looking out on the
street four stories below. Solitude
became intolerable, She decided to
find her husband. There was an ele-
vator, but she didn't care for it. Soft
ly as moccasins could carry her she
issued forth When she had gone
out bellboy saw queer marks on the
balusters and door castings. The In
dian bride had blazed her way with
tomahawk SO that she could find
her way back. The Indian bride was
merely living up to her education.
for it is very necessary to know how
to blaze a trail in Alaska.
