These enemies had treacherously surprised
several groups of hunters belonging to
Good Hearts tribe and killed them. In
fact, their arrows were always flying from
some dark ambush. And they had stolen
large quantities of provisions upon which
the village was depending for its winter
supply. So. according to the Indian idea,
it was now time to seek these enemies out
and punish them. But it happened that all
the full grown, powerful warriors of the
tribe were already engaged in warfare
that had sprung up in another quarter.
So the chiefs decided that this unexpected
work must be intrusted to the brayest OF
the youths. And it was Good Heart, who,
TO his great surprise, found that he was
chosen as leader of the expedition.
The youths started forth with great cour-
age, even though they were not as terrify-
ing to look at as the older braves would
have been. But they had several eagle
feathers apiece, of which they were very
proud, and their faces were marked with a
few bright stripes of eolored paint, and
they could manage a shrill war cry that
would make your blood run cold. So,
mounted each on swift pony, they rode
out 10 meet danger.

ago made promise not to disclose. Yet,
remembering his visitor of the night be-
fore, he was himself quite sure what had
really happened. Every one Of the enemy's
bowstrings, he suspected, had been broken.
Who could have done this except the Lit
tie Gray People, aud who could have done
It as well as they? 1t was, Of course, q
miracle; but miracle of kindness and of
gratitude. Surely no one ever had such
faithful friends beforew said Good Heart
to himself with tears in his eyes.
Loud praise and great honor were given
to the youthful warrior on returning to
the village. The tribesmen thought him
especially blessed by the gods and felt
that they could not do better than intrust
their fortunes to him as often as possible.
So after this Good Heart went often on
the warpath, always secretly accompanied
by his gray friends, and never did he fail
to win victory. Countless times did the
grateful little creatures repay him for his
Iunforgotten act of kindness in restoring
the baby mice to their grieving mother.
Finally, however. he became tired of war
fare and set himself to studying the an
cient wisdom Of his race. And when he
had learned all the sacred knowledge and
all the rituals and ceremonies they made
him priest. This Office Good Heart
filed for many years and was renowned
as a pattern of kindness and goodness.
It was thought an odd thing taat after
the old priests death no more rats or mice
were seen in the village wheie he had
lived, and since his day no man living on
earth has bad the strange power that the
Little Gray People give.

dams also were asleep. Upright in the
tents stood the bows Of the sleeping war
riors, all ready for use at any moment.
As soon as all was quiet in the camp .
small gray visitor stole softly into each
tent. Their delicate, quick stepping lit
tie feet made not the least shadow Of .
sound. Any one who by the faint light
of the stars should have chanced TO see
them (but no onp didg would have
thought it somewhat strange that a group
of mice should be so far away from a viii
lage. And indeed il was strange. But
the reason was, of course, that these mice
were the friends of the mouse mother and
of the old man with gray garments and
of Good Heart himself, and that they had
an exciting errand in those tents.
Laughing quietly to himself, each mouse
hunted about until he found 4 bow, then
began TO gnaw the strong, almost unbreak-
able string with his sharp, powerful little
teeth. 1t would have been very easy for
them TO gnaw the strings of short,
so that they would have hung loosely and
attracted their owners attention in the
morning. Byt they were far too clever
TO do that, SO they left each string held
only by a slender thread, which would
snap, of course, the moment that the own
er attempted TO draw his bow in battle.
Left in this condition, the bows and bow
strings still looked as sound as ever.
When every bowstring in camp had been
destroyed in this silent and ingenious
fashion the little gray people refreshed
themselves with'a good supper of buffalo
meat and then very gayly frolicked over
the fields to their home, squeaking mer-
rily to each other at the thought of the
trick that they had played.
Early the next morning Good Hearts
young Indians were up and ready for the
attack. The tents and blankets were
folded up, and these, with the supplies,
were left in charge of guard. Then the
young warriors rode out together, coming
before long in sight of the enemies camp.
When the Indians Of the treacherous
tribe understood that they were sum-
moned out to battle they lost no time in
making ready. Their warriors, who were
strong, mighty men, arrayed themselves
for war, and the ceremonial that always
comes before battle was held with as
great despatch as possible. Then the
bright faced braves seized their bows and
arrows, jumped on their ponies and ut
tering loud, hideous cries, galloped but
to meet the band of youthful warriors led
by Good Heart.
As soon as they were within the proper
distance of each other both sides began
discharging arrows. Or at least Good
Hearts men did and the others tried to.
But what in the world could be the mat
