WORD OF An INDIAN
BY HAROLD CARTER.

Copyright, 1914, by W. @. Chapman.)
Baffln of the police told me this
story. or course he may have been
lying, but my principle is never to say
anything OF a man behind his back
that one wouldn't say to him to his
face, and no man that know would
call Baffin liar face to face. =
Corporal Shannon of the, Northwest
police set out north from Edmonton on
March morning to cover an S00-mile
trail and bring back Laughing Cloud
to be hanged In Edmonton jail. He
cursed himself as 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 inexorable pur'
suit, had gone north into the Arctic
circle to say good-by to his father
and mother, who were hunting carl
bou over the barren grounds.
Laughing Clouds squaw advanced
a 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 he
would appear in Edmonton to be
hanged in February.
AS 1t was too late In the year tc
continue the pursuit at that time
Shannon accepted the proposal. He
had heard that the Indians we're faith
full to their bargains. but he was skep
tical when 1t was matter of life OIL
death.
And his skepticlsm proved justified
for February came and went, and
there was no Laughing Cloud. Where
upon Shannon, disgusted 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

THAT NEW HIRED GIRL
FAMILY Is ABLE TO BOAST OF A
REAL TREASURE.
Promptly Secured Before She Had
TIme to Raise Her Figure, and
Given Chance to Recover Her
Evidently Lost Nerve.
The charm has worked again.

The charm has worked again.
We advertised for servant girl,
one who would appreciate home of
refinement, where she could have her
afternoons and evenings of, with no
washing, no ironing, no scrubbing, no
baking, no hopping, no nothing.
She came. She came in radiance
with new hat fluttering jauntily over
her left ear and descending in broad
but graceful sweep over her right
brow. A mere touch at the door-bell
and her presence was announced.
We knew the moment we saw her
that she was the long expected.
We ushered her into the darkened
parlor and gave her seat on the long
sofa, right near the sheet of tangle-
foot. In fact, she was welcome to
two seats. but she politely yet firmly
declined. We thought she would, but.
then, we wanted to show her right
from the first that we were of gen.
erous disposition.
No. she would not remove her hat
or her gloves or even her veil. She
preferred to remain incog. so that in
case Of disturbance she wouldn't
have to prove an alibi or reveal her
identity. 1t was very difficult mat
ter to approach the subject OF wages.
One glance at her was enough to tell
that she had been neglected in the
past Her gloves were not automo-
bile gauntlets, nor was her veil one
OF the Nile green variety that blooms
on the back ceat Of red flyer. Her
skirt was not a riding habit. Her
bootees were not built for long cross
country tramps. Her gold-headed um-
brella was not golf stick.
We could hardly bear to look at her
and think that all her life she had
been deprived Of all the opportunities
that any domestic should enjoy. No
doubt she had spent her evenings In
the kitchen. eating bakery cookies and
reading the fashion hints or toasting
her shins by the aid OF the electric
toaster.
Naturally we dropped our eyes to
the hardwood floor, where they lit
with a thump. This startled her and
she dropped the suggestion that some
folks have been known to exist on 81
week. Before she could boost her
figures. we had her telephone for her
trunks, and now she is Safely located
In the front suite upstairs. with free
access to the sleeping porch. SO that
she can recover a bit OF her lost
nerve.-George F. Paul. in Judge.

meat, but Laughing. Cloud only shook
his head quietly and wctched Shannon

After he had eaten and drunk Shan.

tion In his legs with snow. He had
no doubt now that the Indian had
come surrender Himself; and, It did
not occur 20 hin. tc 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 quiet smile.
Shannon knew that the Indian had
wanted to show his gratitude for
Shannon,s trust in him. He knew he
would be there when he awoke. But
when he awoke Laughing Cloud was
gone.
And there was another man in the
tent-Helmsley, in charge of the last
police post that Shannon had passed.
Helmsley was shaking him by the
shoulder and peering anxiously into
his face.
well, you seem pretty snug,". he
said, when Shannon awoke. When l
saw your horse lying dead. in, the
snow felt sure that you were gone,
I have been riding hard after you for
the past five days, but you always
kept little ahead Of me. How In the
world did you manage to find this
cave? I suppose that Indian made 1t
when he went south. Got anything
to eat?" 81
Shannon produced the rest of the
caribou meat. and Helmsley devoured
1t ravenously. Then he stretched him
self out in his blanket at Shannon's
side.
I'm glad / caught YOU" he said.
II felt sure you were gone. Well.
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 ned 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. NitS- II

ley. looking at Shannon curiously.
"Yes. He found me lying In the
snow, and took me to this cache Of

to be around here somewhere. Why
are you looking so strangely, Helms
ley?" 4 = ti Ts X

ly. Laughing Cloud surrendered him
