foot of the, mountain gathered both
tribes. The man who was to run for
the, Turtle was really one who knew
gic tricks, and by this means they
thought to win the race. The length
to be run was a mile away, then a mile
back. -...' .....'
Away the two runners sped, but An
telope soon felt that a pebble In his
moccasin. which Is an, Indian slipper,
was hurting his foot badly. The Turtle
runner kept close by his side and
laughed at the pain he saw Antelope
T. was enduring. When the two go to the
end of the mile. neither was ahead.
They then started back. The Turtle
man saw that Antelope. was, outrunning
him. so with his magic he changed him.
self into great hawk. With swift
wings he beat ahead and the lad saw
that he was. about to lose the race.
Then he remembered the magic seed in
his shirt. Putting 1t in his mouth as
he ran. he did not stop a moment. No
sooner had the seed been wet than its
magic force began to work and a sud-
den shower descended on the land. It
made Antelope cool and fresh, but as
the water beat on the. wings Of the
hawk 1t almost broke them and the
bird fell fiuttering almost to the

So the hawk changed itself back into

The Turtles kept their word and re-
leased the chief of the Panthers. And
that night all went back to their homes
singing, while the following week there
WAS q big wedding feast, at which An

Then all the tribe went in pro-

THE MAGIC SEED.

~ nee upon a time hundreds OF
years before a white man set
foot in this land there lived
far out West two tribes of
Indians. One was called the Turtles
and made their home on the banks OF a
muddy river that swept through the
plains and the other people, were
known as the Panthers, for they roamed
free through the forests that covered
the mountains.
The Panther folks were peaceful, but
the ugly Turtle men. were always war
ring with their -neighbors and stealing
other peoples cattle. Now the chief of
the Panthers had lovely young
daughter, Sweet Briar. who was the
pride of her fathers heart. Slender,
with long hair and dressed in skins
made of the softest doe, she spent her
time in weaving or making feather bon-
nets for her father. Beautiful as the
first flush of dawn across the fields Of
wild lilies, the maid was beloved by all
the young men of the tribe. - -
The son of the Turtle Chief loved
him. Among her own people was 4
maiden liked above all others. but her
father thought him not good enough for
his dalghter. Antelope was a sreat
hunter and swift runner. but the girl
was afraid to speak to him for fear of
her fathers anger.
One day the chief of the Turtles came
with IL great band of warriors and took
the CHIEF of the Panthers prisoner.
+ I'VE will hold your father with us"
was the message they sent to Sweet
Briar, Till you consent to marry. the
son of our chief. or you must have a
contest with our tribe. We will pick our
fastest man and you your best runner.
If your man wins we release your faith
of the Turtle Chief and give iis twenty
of your best fox skins s., -,
So Sweet Briar went all around the
Indian village, but found no one who
was willing to run. Few of the noun
tain Indians were feet of foot, and the
Turtle knew that. But they did not
know that Antelope had been racer
all his life. So when Sweet Briar came
by his tent the lad stepped out
Il will be glad to run for you," he. ex-
claimed shyly.
But the Turtles are cruel and may
hurt you," she cried. They are swift
of foot and play mean tricks to win."
"I am not afraid" replied Antelope
bravely. IF / win, perhaps your faith
er may give me your hand" Sweet
Briar blushed and ran home in happy
mood.
That night as Antelope wandered
through the forest he came upon the
hut of an old woman who was Stunned
by all the tribe. for the people believed
her to be a witch. But she seemed cold
and hungry, so the kind lad built
big fire, warmed some meat and gave
her some medicine which she was too
sick to reach. At midnight she called
the boy to her bedside and said:
Il feel this is my last night on earth.
You have been kind to me. so as a part

will find il in the heart of the plant that
grows behind my tent under the tall
