Il
Sheriff of Morrow County, Oregon
Evening star., 1917-03-18

Here was mystery needing other elucda-
ton than the glib oratory of Smoking
Bones.
Calling at an unexpected hour, he found
the Cree's Sarcee wife and child alone in
the tent. The child held bright piece
of paper and was evidently deriving salts
faction from its gaudy colors. The Cor
poral recognized it as labelling paper such
as adorns canned goods. On garish mus
tard yellow ground an American flag
waved triumphantly over pile of beans.
Across the beans We're the words, in
heavy black lettering: "Pure, Invigorat-
ing, Sustaining, Humane"
After having frightened the Sarcee
woman into minor admissions, the Cor
poral confronted Smoking Bones with the
scrap of paper, and the latter was forced
to confess that the trader was still in the
country and was, perhaps even now, car
rying on his nefarious business with trap
pers from the Circle. As for himself and
the Sarcees, they had come upon him by
accident.
The Corporal called Constable Goose.
Constable. these Indians are lying.
What's more. they're scared-hiding
something. You will go out and arrest
that trader. gather he's about a hun
dred and fifty-odd miles northwest of us.
He handed the label across the table.
"Put that in your pocket, and find out
what it means
Constable William Goose blinked at the
label.
@Find out what it means?' he echoed.
@From the looks o. it, I'd say It's ma
tional anthem about beans"
Whisky traders don't sell beans.
Beans, in this case, are more than staple;
they're mystery. Take look through
any Indian camp you pass. A hundred
and fifty-odd miles-you ought to make
it in four days easily"
"The mischief o it is, Constable Goose
buried in reply, "the dogs are worn fine,
and so am from our last trip
start at once,' was the Corporal's only
reply.
Only week before this Constable
Goose had completed fve-hundred-mile
patrol for the apprehension of two Indians
guilty of numbering a woman whom they
suspected Of entertainments. They had
Evening star., 1917-03-18

reach for the pemmican and frozen fish
beside him. The supply might last for a
week if he ate sparingly, and if-for this
also had been considered-th beasts
did not enter to dispute for it with him.
Left to himself, Utah found presently
that he could reach the strap over his
right shoulder with his teeth. In due
time-biting the strap faithfully hour
after hour-he freed that shoulder The
left shoulder-strap was not within his
dental radius, and his right hand could
do nothing there without knife in it.
Nevertheless there were several advan-
tages in having his right arm unbound.
He could grasp the edge of the snow wall
and drag his weight up off his ankles now
and then and so relieve his worst physical
agony Also, he could reach the six
shooter in the deep inside pocket of his
parki-which the misted Sarcees had
overlooked, although they had found and
abstracted his cartridge-belt. Four of the
shots went to hold back the beasts outside.
Ptarmigan-awkward snow travellers
and the white hare were caught by the
huskies, but days came when hungry
noses were raised over the ledge and red
eyes looked in with hunger. Sometimes,
still, the dogs skunk off at the hoarse COM
mand in the voice it had been their habit
to obey Sometimes-of late-they de-
fled it. This was when they We're inspired
by a hump-backed, long-bodied, long
shouted large brown beast to whose neck
the touch of harness was unknown. Utah
had seen the wolf appear out of the steel
blue snow haze and bestow her affections
on the leader of his team. These two
We're now paired, Extensively and defen-
sively, against the four remaining dogs
and the man in the hut.
ONE morning, Utah saw the strange
wolf, without apparent reason, slide
away across the snowy distance. He won-
dered if the Indians were returning. Gun
in hand, he waited. William Goose came
into view.
Utah noticed that the man stumbling
along beside the sled was taking a slow
zigzag course; that sometimes he stopped,
and, probably in obedience to his COM
mand, the dogs stood still while he went
to them and handled the side trace. Then
Evening star., 1917-03-18

he would move on few yards, and per-
haps change their direction.
"A drunken Siwash, Utah thought. A
moment later he exclaimed aloud:
mo, by hinky! he's snow-blind.'
He fired-his last shot but one. The
man stopped. Utah began to shout. His
dogs barked. The man turned toward the
igloo, listened, moved on uncertainty,
then came faster toward the sounds he
heard, still stumbling and veering. Pres
emily he bumped against the snow ledge.
Pull yourself up and climb in, Utah
said hoarsely. You're welcome, stranger.
A PAIR of mittens moved along the
snow pack and clutched, then furry
peak appeared. In its midst two blazing
blue bloodshot eyes peered unseeingly.
"Was it you l heard playing the bag
pipes?' the figure inquired interestedly.
at were not" Utah calculated
Man, man, the other chided, "ye're
numbering it. 'Tis like the wailing of
sucking pig
He scrambled in.
For Gods sake, cut me down. Utah
cried out, his endurance breaking at the
sight of relief.
a can hear ye fine, but can't see ye.
Up there, eh? Man, man." his voice
lowered with dread, "did they freeze ye
to a tent-pole and leave We blowing about
it like a flag?"
Utah groaned, in terror that the blind
man might depart, leaving him as he was.
At last, by dint of coaxing and patient
repetition, he persuaded his visitor that
he was not Highland ghost playing bag
pipes; and then the blind man cut the
thongs and lifted Utah down. At his
first attempt to stand, Utah sank to his
knees with roar like a wounded buffalo.
"Ay, man, they are hurting we, don't
doubt. I'll rub up your ankles for ye and
make bit of fire."
"What is that brogue you use-Rus-
sian?' Utah queried between groans.
Scotch, without doubt!' was the
reply, sternly made over the left shoulder
as he scrambled out for sticks from the
faggot on his sled.
For an hour he rubbed Utah's swollen
limbs and doctored them from his medical
case. Once or twice he paused in the

strung her up by the armpits and starved
her to death. The constable was not
eager to go out again, because of sharp
stabbing pain in his head where it had
been struck by spear shaft in making
the arrest.
Constable Goose's instructions were to
confiscate the traders whisky and furs,
and to arrest the trader and his customers
If barter were still in progress-and
bring them into Fullerton. Judged by the
annals of the Mounted this was not so
much to expect of one Scotch lad, aged
twenty-four, in the second year of his
service, for which he was receiving sixty
five cents per day. William Goose would
have departed blithely enough but for
that ache in his head, and the morbid
mental discomfort that obsessed him
when he closed his eyes and could see
vividly womans skeleton blowing about
a tent-pole.
In the lonely blanched Northand imagi-
nation quickens dangerously. Under his
fur park the constable wore the scarlet
tunic of dress parade, which is by no
means the uniform for patrol duty.
For" said he, "since the worst is about
to happen to me, I'll prefer to look hand
some when they take me home to Prairie
Rose Inside the tunic he pinned note
to the effect that his body, if found before
wolves had devoured it, was to be sent
to his father and his sweetheart.
FROM his elevation Utah commanded
an excellent view of the countryside.
This was included in the plans of the in
ebriate and fertile-brained Sarcees when
they placed him on high 1t would be
part of his diversion to observe the wolves
gathering from east and west out of the
blue snow-gloom, to fight and fraternize
with his huskies. assist in devouring the
fallen, and wait for the sleeping hour of
the man-fesh inside the igloo to leap in
over the snow counter. The buoyant
Sarcees, remembering, even in their cups,
that the arm of the law is long and the
feet of the Mounted swift, had not killed
their victim after round of pleasing tor
lures. They had bound him to his sled
with thongs. A foot was fastened to each
runner The sled, on end, slanted against
the tent-pole. His left hand was free to
