WORD OF An INDIAN
BY HAROLD CARTER.

Copyright. 1s14. BY W. G. Chapman)
Bafin Of the police told me this
story. OF course he may have been
lying. but my principle is never to say
anything Of . man behind his back
that one wouldn't say to him to his
face, and NO man that l know would
call Baffln har face to face.
Corporal Shannon Of the Northwest
police set out north from Edmonton on
q March morning to cover an S00-mile
trail and bring back Laughing Cloud
to be hanged in Edmonton Jail. He
cursed himself as a fool when he set
out, because he had trusted the In.
dian and the Indian had betrayed his
trust. thereby necessitating this sec.
ond 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 good-by to his father
and mother, who we're hunting carl
bou over the barren grounds.
Laughing Clouds squaw advanced
q singular proposition on behalf Of
her husband. II Shannon would leave
Laughing Cloud in peace to say good
by to the old folks she pledged that hi
would appear in Edmonton to bt
hanged In February.
As 1t was too late in the year Il
continue the pursuit at that time
Shannon accepted the proposal. H,

there's no need to look for Laughing
Cloud any longer"
But I've got him." answered Shan
non. AT least"
He paused suddenly, and for the
first time the suspicion entered his
mind that the Indian might have
changed his mind and fed again. Or
perhaps he had never meant to sur
render, but had only saved Shannon
out Of an impulse Of humanity, when
he had found him, half conscious, in
the snow.

full to their bargains, but he was skep-
tical when it was matter OF life or
DEATH.
And his skepticism proved 5ustined,
for February came and went, and
there was no Laughing Cloud. Where
upon Shannon, disguised with the
world, and Indians in particular, sad
died up and rode out north.
He had covered some 500 miles by
the end of March, housing himself In

the proceeds of his rifle, with what
food he could obtain from the isolated
police posts. BY the end of the month
he was in a desolate stretch Of coun-
try, remote from any habitation. And
then occurred the worst blizzard Of
that year.
They say an April blizzard is apt to
be bad one, but this was one Of the
worst ever known in that region.
Within FIVE minutes of its start Shan
non had lost all sense of direction, the
pony refusing to face the wind and
standing with lowered head. There
was nothing to do but to offsaddle
and make snow hut.
Some such shelter Shannon made.
and, coiled up In his blanket, he shiv-
cred himself to sleep. He awoke numb,
and found the blizzard raging with
worse ferocity.
Twelve hours later, having eaten all
his provisions. and being unable to
light q fire, he resigned himself to
death. His legs were numb to the
knees: his pony had fallen in the snow
and was sitter than stone.
Shannon knew what the result would
be. He prepared to face death
bravely. He sat, huddled in his blan.
ket thinking only Of Laughing Cloud
and his unfulfilled mission.
He must have dozed, for he awak.
ened suddenly to see an Indian at his
side. The man threw back his blan.
ket and revealed the features Of
Laughing Cloud. Shannon's heart
leaped to think that the Indian had
been true to his trust.
Without word the Indian stepped
out into the snow. motioning to Shan
non to accompany him. Shannon's
legs had been numb, but he felt q
tingle Of blood in them now, and he
was able to limp haltingly after
Laughing Cloud. As they advanced.
too. the fierceness Of the storm seemed
to decrease. and Shannon said after.
ward that he hardly felt the sting of
the snow In his face.
They must have proceeded about q
mile through the storm when they
suddenly came upon an old ice house.
1t had evidently been constructed dur.
ing the early months of the winter
The March thaws had reduced H. to
solid ice. now coated thickly with the
falling snow. Inside it was warm and
comfortable.
More than that. inside was charred
wood. suitable for reminding, with a
little tea and some frozen caribou
meat.
In q few moments Shannon had kin.
died q fire and was brewing a hot
draft in she tin can which he had
taken automatically from the saddle
Of his dead horse. He offered Laugh.
Ing Cloud some. and also 7ome Of the
meat, but Laughing Cloud only shook
his head quietly and wctched Shannon
eating.
After he had eaten and drunk Shan.
non managed restore the circula-
ton In his Eggs with snow. He had
no doubt now that the Indian had
come surrender himself. and II did
not occur 20 him t. have any fear. He
turned over In his blanket and went
to sleep beside the ire. while Laugh.
ing Cloud stood In the doorway, watch.
ing him with q quiet smile.
Shannon knew that the Indian had
wanted to show his gratitude fol
Shannon's trust in him. He knew he
would be there when he awoke. But
when he awoke Laughing Cloud was
gone.

Schools Up To STANDARD.

With few exceptions the Frederick
county schools are showing up to the
standard required by the County
School Board. For hours the COM
missioners yesterday at the regular
monthly meeting of the Board re-
viewed the reports Of existing condi-
tons in the schools. They were sub
mitted by Grade Supervisor Harsh
man, who has been visiting schools
for the last several weeks.
The reports are exhaustive. 1t is a
survey Of the work Of each school.
teacher and pupils. At the end of
the year the commissioners will have
complete record of the conditions
IN each school. This survey is being
made so that the system can be per-
fected. This idea was put into effect
at the beginning of this school term.
A Christmas holiday of thirteen
days was voted yesterday. The schools
will close on the evening of Deem
Der p and will open on the morning
of January 4. On December 29. the
annual meeting of the Frederick
County Teachers Association will be
held in the auditorium of the Girls
High School.
Attendance in the schools of the
county and city is good since the en-
forcement Of the compulsory school
attendance law. Attendance officer S.
L. Rhoads reported that the attend
ance in some of the schools in Fred
erick was between 50 and 100 per
cent.
A committee of the Frederick Civic
Club yesterday urged the adoption of
physical tests in the schools of the
county. Mrs. Hammond Urner was
chairman of the committee. Mrs. Ur-
ner said that there was an advanced
case of tuberculosis in the East
Church street school, Several other
children are thought to be feeble
minded.
Those on the committee were: Mrs.
Hammond Urner, Mrs r. S. J. Dut-
row, Mrs Henry Ramsburgh and Mrs.
Joseph H. Apple. No action was TAX
en-.
The members of the School Board
are thoroughly satisfied with the work
that is being done in the Domestic
Science Department Of the Girls
High School. Miss Edith Thomas.
who is in charge of this department at
Hood College, has supervision of this
branch of work in Frederick county
schools. The school commissioners.
their wives and few friends dined

A Career Is Living,

II has remained for a woman of
about 66 years, who arrived in New
York recently on the last stretch of
a journey around the world, to bring
us about the most stirring message
that has come from a woman's lips
this year. Ellen Terry, interviewed
on her arrival, said this to woman
reporter who prated to her of her
career"
Lord deliver us from slothful-
ness! A career is just living. Sue
cess does not come from anything
you do, but because of what you are.
/ fear slothfulness more than any
thing. 1t creeps upon woman
stalthily and has her overpowered
and bound before she knows it-and
that is the end"
That is indeed the end. We don't
know that slothfulness is any more
apt to attack woman than a man.
but in either case it is deadly. In
either case it means old age, no mat
ter what the years may be-. 1t is a
disease worse than the white plague
or the leprosy or almost any of the
others, because it absolutely robs the
victim of the power of enjoying life,
even while he seems to go on living.
The slothful people are the most
pitiable.-Ohio State Journal.

Charity Ball POSTPONED.

The Charity Ball which was being
planned by the Board of Managers of
the Frederick City Hospital, to be
held some time during the Christmas
holidays, was postponed, at a meet
ing Of the Board Tuesday afternoon
at the Nurses Home.
This action was taken because it
was feared the ball might not prove a
success owing to numerous other at
fractions which will take place dur
ing the holidays. The report of the
hospital showed that during Novem-
Der 20 patients were treated at the
institution. Forty-three were admit
ted, died, AZ were discharged and
there are remaining 80. Fifteen were
full pay patients, "a part pay and 81
free patients.
