Several years ago there was a Black

stands the city of Medicine Hat He
and his tribe were fond Of hunting and
of making war on their enemies. the
Crees. This chief always wore a head

medicine hat" for he thought that 1t
brought him good fortune.
It was dark day for the chief when
he last met the Crees at the place
where now stands the growing city.

to ignominious flight But just then

peace, neither denying nor affirming,
his kinsmen sat their horses and

young corn rows. It was a field stood

Samson South was not, strictly

had left him faint and dizzy. He sal

that I'm not quite ready for discharge

girl rose and pointed up the mountain
side. "I'll light out across the hill and
fotch Samson an his mule"
who and where is Samson?" he
inquired. He realized that the bot

en- into darkness. and that the way
cut, unguided, would become impos

a nod was gone.

above her. The forest blanket was

the bald shoulders of sandstone which
threw themselves against the sky, was
