Bob. as I had seer him walking in

had not looked mentally deficient. He
had seemed dull rather than dazed,
more bored than melancholy. To most

Probably he would be perfectly quail

his wife and family knew that his
emotions were locked up, and that
the only key to a complete normal

I when I was a boy. 7 lived away out
on the western plains then, and was
what you might call a savage Indian.
There were great men in u tribe in
those days. One of them was a young
chief by the name of Many Bears. He
had a wonderful spear or lance. 1t
was called a medicine spear. That is
to say, a kind of spirit, or, magic
power belonged to it; so the warriors
believed.
The spear was shaped liked an ar
row, with feathers on one end and
the point of. it was the point of a
soldiers sword captured in battle.
When the chief went on the war path
he always carried that spear; for he
believed that the Power that belonged
to it would help him to defeat his
enemies. Before Many Bears went
into his last fight he fixed his spear
to his body by a long buckskin sash;
and when he saw that his warriors
were outnumbered and about to re-
treat, he rode out in front of them.
dismounted and thrust his spear into
the ground. II will never pull this
spear out of the ground unless we
win this battle" shouted Many Bears
to his warriors. Here 1 shall win or
de-
1t was left for one of his warriors
to pull that spear out of the ground;
for beside it the brave young chief
fell fighting for his country, bound by
his sense of honor to his duty by a
stronger tie than the buckskin sash
which bound him to his lance.-But
pardon me, boys, I was going to tell
you how to make a spear which you
could use when you go into the
woods. Well, as I have said. a spear
or lance, is made a good deal like an
arrow; but it is longer and larger.
Get a pole as long as you are tall,
half the size of your wrist, straight,
with as few limbs on it as possible.
Trim it and peel the bark off. Now
take 1t in your hand-just a little
nearer the biggest end than the mid
