Then and Now

We turn our weary steps toward
home,
At the close of a strenuous day,
And all we wish is to sit alone,
Our minds never run to thoughts
of play.
We sit in the old split bottom chair,
And think of the days now passed
away,
When life held not a worry or care,
Then we thought of nothing else
but play.
Now we wish we were children
again,
Free from the tolls of life,
But now that we are grown-up men,
We must spend the rest of our
lives in strife. w. III.

Then the mounted scouts returned.
They said that the Pawnee war

They will circle and come up be-

Posting guards at the edge of
the water to watch the Pawnees,
the Cheyenne chief called a council
of war. He told his warriors that
there were two things to do. The
first was to remain in the timber
and the other was to retreat to the
open plain. He said that in either
case they might be sure of being
attacked at daylight. AS the Paw
nees greatly outnumbered them,
War Eagle was in favor of holding
their position in the timber.
II have listened to the words of
the great Cheyenne chief. He
speaks with wisdom. We must
fight the Pawnees. II we meet
them on the plain they will ride

the only way Of counterbalancing
the odds against them. Having de-
cided to retain their position, there
fore, they waited calmly for the
Pawnees to begin their attack. The
latter, however, had subsidized into
silence, and the Cheyennes be-
heved that they were awaiting a
signal from the war party on the
plain.

The night finally passed. and the

the Pawnees made no move. The
Cheyennes were perplexed. They
had expected an attack at daylight,
and they were at loss to explain
the delay. Having nerved themsel-
YES for battle, they we're anxious to
begin the fight. Then the light

one by one. Ghosts cannot swim,
you know, so he managed to get
away with quite a number of them.
That night he felt sure that the
remaining ghosts would try to kill
him, SO he did not go to bed at all.
The ghosts waited until they were
too tired to keep their eyes open
any longer, and then they went to
sleep.
When the little boy saw that all
of them were fast asleep, he put
the sticky gum from the bread
fruit tree on their eyelids and then
killed them, one by one.
Now, the King of the Ghosts and
his two chiefs slept in grass
house a long way off from the rest
ghosts and they did not find out
until morning that the little boy

it they did not wait a moment, but
rushed at the little boy from Maui,
intending to kill him. But he was
prepared for them, and. running
away, climbed up the highest tree

THE LITTLE BOY WHO PULLED

OF course it surprised them very
much to see the little boy jump
down from the big puhala bush the
next morning.
That night they again asked him
where he was going to sleep. I'm a
little wave" he answered. But he
did not. Instead he went to sleep in
big wave. The ghosts came down
to the beach and threw stones at all
the little waves until they were
tired, thinking that in one of them
the little boy would surely be.
By this time the boy from Maui
was pretty sure what the ghosts
meant to do with him so he thought
it was time to play trick on them.
When it was light, he came ashore
and said: II am going fishing today.
Do any of you want to Gomez" The
Hawaiians in those days fished
with a small hand net, wading far
out from the shore.
Some of the ghosts said they
would like to go.

from land, what did he do, that sly
