I OrnA and
BY DONALD DRUMNOND.

TT was a bright morning when Tom
and his little Indian friend. White
Eagle, started on their second
iaunt. They carried box OF luncn'
for White Eagle had said they might
be away all day.
owhere are we going this time
Tom asked as they set out.
Back to the Red Gorge said White
Eagle. odd Yellow Cloud has told me
how TO find the Rain Clouds daughter
and we shall look for her."
They went further into the gorge
than ON cir first trip and found many
strange things. In a patch Of weeds
beside the road they found the bones
Of a deer. The big antlers, or horns
were still fast 10 the skull.
"He fell from the top of the gorge,
suppose" said the little Indian. "Yel-
low Cloud says deer do that sometimes
when they are scared. He once saw 4
whole herd of elk run off a high cliff
and they were all killed"
The boys passed a huge opening II
the wall of the gorge.

Some oj the boys are waving their
caps and handkerchicis. and one lit
tie fellow has a Dutch flag.
But. OF course. they iecl very
sorry. too. For some OF the little
orphans are cryine-the smaller ones
who have never been away from
their mothers before IN their lives.
They don't quite know why they are
being brought on such a journey
they only know that they are very
tired and hungry and wish they
could see some one they knew.
Finally one little boy caught light
of the Dutch children who were way
ing 10 them. In a moment they
were an very excited. The little
one stopped crying and the bigger
one, began to shout AT sight OF the
friendly faces. The Dutch children
couldn't understand what was said.
but they called back enthusiastically.
But the Belgian children couldn't
understand either, because they
knew only their own French tongue
and the Dutch children knew only
the Dutch language. But that made
40 difference in their enthusiasm
They checred-all OF tbem-till they
were hoarse. and waved their hats
and handkerchief, or anything else
they happened to have.
