An Indian Game.

Flying the arrow is game that
Indian boys like TO play, and they are
very skilful at 1t. A clever player
sometimes has ten in the air Mt time.
but you can be glad If you have three
aryows up at once. Provide yourself
with bow and several arrows. Shoot
up In the air, and the aim Of the game
Is to have as many arrows as possible
up In the air before the first arrow
falls ia the ground. Alertness in fit
ting the arrow to the string Is the most
important part, and the sending of the
first arrow way up high Is the other
necessary achievement.
