his wife, he nevertheless felt, after being
refreshed by food and sleep, that he really
must explore what lay about him. Be
cause of his mysterious origin, he OF
course had far greater powers than any
merely human child, so it happened that
when he started out, and wandered di-
rectly east, he was able before long to
come straight up to the wall of the sky.
You can all see this way, and when you
are in an open country you can even sre
where it meets the earth, but probably
you have never succeeded in touching it
with your hands. This child, however, held
his ear close to the wall and heard out
side it the most tremendous rushing and
roaring that ever was dreamed o. And
looking closely he saw that there was n
hole in the wall, over which a piece of
thin, transparent skin had been stretched
and sewn tightly.

q hunter and his wife. And 1t was their
great SORROW that, although they had been
married many years and began to feel
that they would soon be old, they had had
no children.

hunter used to sigh, with keen eye lot

admit with a smile, "but what L have

I should make for her, and to comfort me
with love-"
Still more years went by and no child
came to bless the loneliness of the hunt

grown very silent and sad. One night
however, she said to the hunter:-
Husband, have not always been
good wife to you? Have you not always
found a fire and warm food when you
came home to me, and have 1 not taken
faithful care of your sealskin boots, o
that they were clean and dry and SOFT
when you needed them"
Indeed, you have been the best OF
wives" the hunter said.
Then do what l ask Of you" she
pleaded. Il no longer hope for baby Of
our own; but what need more than food
or drink is something that shall take that
baby's place. So go out now, beg OF you,
while it is early evening and take your
axe upon your shoulder. And when you

hunter. II do not see much comfort in
that" Nevertheless, as he was kindly

out his wife's wish. The night was bright |

and made light, and found, to her great
amazement, that the child had eaten its
supper and was lying on its side on the
bench. Although she could not coax it
to speak again she seized it in her arms
and kissed it and fondled it for a long
time, then put'an extra blanket over it
and went back to bed. In a short time
she and the hunter were both asleep.
But when they awoke in the morning the
child was gone.
Now this was, after all, not so strange.
