monitor on March morning to cover
an 8OO-mile trail and bring back
Laughing Cloud to be hanged in Ed
monitor jail He cursed himself as
a fool when he, set out, because he
had trusted the Indian and the In
dian had betrayed his trust, thereby
-necessitating this second journey.
Laughing Cloud had killed his
brother, and Shannon had gone to
get him the preceding October. He
found the Indians wife, but not the
Indian.
He learned from her that Laughing
Cloud, aware of the memorable pur-
suit, had gone north into the Arctic
circle to say goodbye to- his father

bOu over the barren grounds.
Laughing Clouds squaw advanced
a singular proposition on behalf of
her husband. If Shannon would leave
Laughing Cloud III peace to say
goodbye to the old folks she pledged
that he would appear in Edmonton to
be hanged in February.
AS it was too late in the year to
continue the pursuit at that time,
Shannon accepted the proposal. He
had heard that the Indians were
faithful to their bargains, but he was
skeptical when it was a matter of life
or death.
And this skepticism proved justi-
fed, for February came and went,
and there was no Laughing Cloud.
WhereUpon Shannon, disguised with
the world, and Indians in particular,
saddled up and rode out north.
He had covered some 500 miles by
the end of March, housing himself in
snow huts that he built, and living
off the proceeds of his rifle, with what
food he could obtain from the isolat-
ed police posts. By the end of the
month he was in a desolate stretch
Of country, remote from any habita-
ton. And then occurred the worst
blizzard of that year.
They say an April blizzard is apt
to be a bad one, but this was one Of
the worst ever known in that region.
Within five minutes of it's start Shan
non had lost all sense of direction, the
pony refusing to face the wind and
