replied Little Raven, as he offered
his hand.
AS the months went by the Sioux
lad was gradually taken into COM
radeship by the young Pawnees, and
1t was not long before he became
prominent in their sports and pas
times. His prowess with the bow
and his superb horsemanship soon
gained the admiration of the older
Pawnees, and they looked upon him
as one destined to become great
warrior. They were careful to af-
ford him no opportunity to escape,
however, and as he had been warn
ed not to go beyond bowshot of the
village he was debarred from the
hunting parties organized by his
companions.

Economy Scouts
Ready to Drill

Economy has been put on the
map in the Boy Scout world by the
new troop which has formed there
in the last few weeks. The boys
boast that they are going to have
not only the best troop in the
County, but also in the whole state,
and with p. o. Beckman for Scout
master, and w. B. Brumfield, the
school superintendent and princi-
pal, as Assistant Scoutmaster. the
boys promise to make all other
Wayne County Scouts beware.
AS soon as they get well started
in scout craft. they are planning
to take up portable field wireless,
wall scaling and bridge building.
All the boys are very enthusiastic
and seem to show the real scout
spirit in everything.
The Economy girls are also anx-
ious to show their merit as well
as the boys, and meeting to organ
ize Camp Fire Girls is arranged
to be held the first of the week.
If the girls prove as enthusiastic
as the boys the rest of Wayne
county will have to take off their
hats to that little town.

and saw the Pawnee lad raise his
hands and sink from sight, the
Sioux plunged into the water and
swan to his assistance. Reaching
the spot where Straight Feather
had disappeared, Little Raven dove
and brought the unconscious lad
to the shore, where he was speedily
revived by his people.
Two Moons was sincerely CRATE
full for this act of generous heroism.
and from that time Little Ravens
Straight Feather became friends,
and they spent much time sitting
together. conversing in the sign
language. AS their friendship
strengthened, however, it became
necessary to find an easier means
of expressing their ideas, and it
was not long, therefore, before each
learned the dialect of the other.

that their education was complete
"Your words are like the songs of
the birds to my ears" Little Raven
replied, in the Pawnee tongue.

south for the winter. But once in
a while you still see one or two,
swiftly darting through the sky,
wheeling and circling above the
barn which is their home.
There are several kinds of swal-
lows that look almost exactly alike,
but the barn swallows have a very
forked tail which shows plainly
as they fly. They are beautiful
little birds, and II you ever have
a chance to see them closely, as
they perch for moment on low
wire, make the most of it. Their
back is a rich dark blue, while the
breast is rose color, shading out to
grey. And their feet are so small
you can scarcely see them, for
swallows fly all the time so now
their feet are too weak to walk on.
and they only use them when they
perch on a wire or limb.
A swallows nest is a mud bas-
ket which the bird sticks onto the
side of barn rafter. But since
now days we do not have many
mud holes left. SO that the swal-
lows can find material for their
nests. and since the barns are made
so tightly that the birds cannot
get into them. the poor barn swal-
lows are growing more and more
scarce. just because they can find
no place to make their homes.

CHAPTER XIV
The Captive

For a long time after Little Ra-
ven was brought into the Pawnee
camp his lot was hard one. The
Pawnee's bitter hatred of the Sioux
made him a tempting target for all
manner of abuse and insults. He
was compelled to do much of the
camp drudgery, and was imposed
upon and harassed by young and
old alike. In fact, his life was made
so miserable that he believed his
captors intended to eventually kill
him. Still, he realized that to re-
sist would only hasten his fate. The
one hope which he never abandon
ed was that some day his people
would come to his assistance. With
this thought to sustain him. be bore
his trials with a calm indifference
which finally earned the respect. if
not the goodwill. of his enemies.
Then he found an opportunity
to gain the favor of the great war
chief, Two Moons. Straight Fea-
Their, the chiefs son, a lad about
the age of the young Sioux, was
seized with cramps while swim
ming in the river which flowed
past the camp. At the time Little
Raven was collecting firewood
along the shore. When he heard
the piercing cries from the river

Go. will wait" replied White

Otter.
Sun Bird reached the timber in
safety, and spent some time listen
ing to the sounds from the camp.
The monotonous throbbing of the
war drums and the confused clamor
Of the dancers came to him with
amazing distinctness. He waited
until there was a momentary lull
and then he sent his message
through the night. Three times he
raised the signal. Then he list
ened for some sound which would
tell him that his brother was still
alive. But as the time passed and
he heard nothing which he could
interpret as reply he began to
lose hope. When three-fourths of
the night had gone he left the grove
and made his way across the plain
with heavy heart.
The pawnees were still beating
their war drums, and it was evil
dent that the celebration would
continue until daylight. Sun Bird
would have given much for peep
into the camp, but he overcame
the temptation and continued reso-
lutely on his way, for he had prom
ised White Otter to take no I'M
necessary risks.
AS he neared the spot where he
had left his friend, Sun Bird stop
ped and initiated the quick, sharp
bark of the little gray fox. Almost
instantly he received an answer
4 he
knew that all was well. A few
moments later he found White OF
ter awaiting him at the edge of
the plain.
Il will ask you what is in your
heart" said White Otter when they
had entered the timber and seated
themselves beside the little spring.

Sun Bird. Like before, | went near

long time. I heard the Pawnees

But I did not listen to those things.

II have listened to your words.
We will wait here another sun.
Perhaps we will see a sign. If we
do not see anything, then we must
creep to the edge of the camp. Per
haps we will see Little Raven. If
we do not find him, then we will
run off two good ponies. Then l
