will say, 1t is my brother, Sun
Bird. | will give him a sign We
must watch" replied Sun Bird.
Eyes, we will wait here until we
know this thing" agreed White
Otter.
Convinced that they were in no
immediate danger, the lads slept
until sunrise. Then they q awakened.
and looked anXiously toward the
Pawnee camp. Smoke was rising
above the lodges, and they knew
that their enemies were busy with
the morning meal. The thought
made them hungry. They had had
little to eat since the disastrous
battle with the PawnceS. and they
felt weak and famished.. While
Sun Bird watched at the edge of the
plain, therefore, White Otter scOur-
ed the foot hills in search Of game.
1t was not long before he returned
with several grouse. AS they feared
to make q fire. the lads were forced
60 eat the birds uncooked. They
accepted the hardship uncomplain-
ingly, however, for they knew that
such discomforts were the newt
able lot of every successful warrior.
After they had satisfied their hun
ger they drank at a little spring
which they had found the day be-
fore. Then they settled themsel-
yes in the timber to watch for a
signal from Little Raven.
"Perhaps many suns will pass
before we know this thing" said
White Otter.
1--WE must wait" replied Sun
Bird.
They watched faithfully through
out the day, but they saw nothing
which they could accept as clue.
They were not discouraged, how
ever, for they knew that even

though Little Raven had heard the
signal, several days might pass be-
fore he would think of a way to
communicate with them
AS darkness finally settled down.
the lads saw the CLEAN of the dis
tant camp-fires and heard the beat
ing of the war drums. 1t was evil
dent that the PawUees were calo-
hrating an important ceremony.
The Sioux wondered whether they
were taking vengeance upon some
unfortunate Cheyenne captive. Sun
Bird was much depressed by the
thought. He feared that Little Ra-
ven might have shared the same
fate. His one hope was the lads
youthfulness. He knew that even
The most bitter foes usually spared
all prisoners below the warrior
age, with the idea of eventually
adopting them into the tribe. But
Sun Bird also knew that much de
pended upon the captive himself.
and as he recalled Little Raven $
quick, high temper and ind0mitable
Independence he had grave doubts
Of the lads safety. He would viii
lingly have sacrificed his own life
to help him, but he realized that
he could do nothing until he knew
whether Little Raven was in the
camp. Sun Bird knew that to
learn this he must again venture
upon the plain.
'It is dark. 7 win go tn sing
the song Of the great night-bird
with the yellow eyes, If Little RAJ
ven is there, then he will know that

Am | a woman that must hide
in the timber while my brother
goes alone? No, | will go. | have
said it, White Otter declared, en-
phaiically.
THAT would be very foolish"
said Sun Bird. "The wise chief
sends all his warriors into the fight.
but he sends but one to scout

CHAPTER XIV
Waiting and Watching


The night was half gone before
the lads thought it safe to venture
upon the plain. Then Sun Bird in.
sisted upon going alone. White OF.
ter was aStonished. But when he
objected, Sun Bird declared that it
would be foolish for both to expose
themselves. He said he would only
go near enough to the camp to
make sure that his signals would
be heard.
Then we must wait and watch, -
he said.
81 believe it is the best thing to
do" replied White Otter
Having promised to raise the cry
of the prairie-wolf if he found him
self in peril, Sun Bird took his de-
parture. When he was some dis
lance out on the plain he stopped
and turned his face to the stars.
He stood there long time, praying
earnestly to the Great Mystery.
Then he continued his hazardous
journey toward the PaWnee camp.
When the young Sioux finally
saw line OF trees looming up be
fore him he knew that he was with
in hearing of the camp and he stop
ped to listen. AS the stiffness was
unbroken he advanced cautiously
to the edge of the timber Then
he again strained his ears for
sounds from his foes. But only the
night wind whispered out of the
south.
Sun Bird had been well instruct
ed in the art OF mimicry, and there
were few among his people who
could eGua! his skill in initiating
the calls Of the birds and animals.
When he initiated the hooting of
an owl, therefore, the notes were
SO near perfect that the most prac-
tisCd car could not have discovered
the deception. He waited a few
moments, and then he repeated
the C"il Then after a still longer
interval he began the third time.
AT that instant, however, he heard
the dCgs larlling in the Pawnee
camp and he stopped abruptly. He
realized bat his signal had been
heard, ard the thought filled him
with hope Sun Bird felt confident

Indians Capture
Boy in Big Woods

Among some of The early settlers
of America, there was family
whose son is to be the hero of my
story.
One day as he and his sister We're
playing near the settlement they
strayed q little too far from it. and
were startled to hear rustling of
leaves and an Indian jumped from
the bushes near by and tried to
catch them. Luckily he only
caught the boy. His sister escaped.
He compelled the boy to accom-
pany him to the large Tuscarora
village where after council was
held, they decided to kill him to
revenge themselves against the
white men.
Just as they were going to kill
him, they were startled to hear
shouts and shots, and before they
could get their weapons they were
surrounded by a troop of settlers
who, after an hour or two of fierce
fighting, completely defeated the
Indians, and the joyful father was
very glad to see his son alive.

Boy Steals Apple;
Caught by Old Man

An old man found a rude boy
in one of his trees stealing apples
and desired him to come down; but
the young sauce box told him plain
ly he would not.
wont you?" said the old man,
Then l will fetch you down" So he
pulled up some turf, or grass, and
threw it at him. but this only made
the youngster laugh to think the old
man should pretend to beat him
down from the tree with grass only
well, WELL" said the old man,
eff neither words nor grass will
do, l must try what virtue there is
in stones"
SO the old man pelted him heart
lily with stones which made the
young chap hasten down from the
tree and beg the old mans pardon.
