assign TO them their work.
The King of the Manllon Was
pleased with the appearance of the
two children and praised the father
and mother for their good care.
Il will give to your children" he an
nounced quickly, the very best work
that a good Manitou may do. You,
son. may be a pudwudjinnie. and
keeper OF the trees of the forest.
Guard you well all travellers who pass
thing" Then he turned to the daugh-
ter. You. beautiful maiden. shall be
honored above all Manitou. You shall
be carried up into the heavens and
shall brighten the dawn of day."
The brother and sister Manitou
were very happy till they happened to
think that their duties were so far
apart-as far apart as the earth and
the shy-and that probably they
would never again play together.
They walked slowly back to their
home by the Big Sea Water and there
they sat down and talked over ali the
good times they had ever had. And
The more they talked, the sadder and
sadder they became at the thought of
parting; till the sister saw that, if they
were to part in happiness. they must
talk of something else.
"Oh. my brother" she said with a
quick smile. think of the honor that
has been done me! Never before has
a Manitou beer sent up TO the heav-
ems. l will live in beautiful cloud,
the color of the morning sky-are you
not glad and proud for me?"
THAT l am" replied the brother,
but alas. I know that just because
you will live in such a beautiful cloud,
you will soon forget me-your earthly
brother and playmate"
How can you say that" exclaimed
the sister. you know / shall always
love you. And to show you that I
never forget you. each morning I will
smile at you just before the dawn.
And l will watch you work, here
among the trees and each day that
vour work is we'll done l will smile
and send you my blessing just before
the sun comes over the rim Of the
world"
So the brother was much comforted
and played with his sister ali that last
day. Just at night fall. the four winds
of the heavens carried the sister to the
skv and there she has lived ever since.
Her brother waited by the Big Sea
Water till morning: and when he saw
his sister safely shining in the sky. he
set right about his own duties so that
he might earn the smile she promised
him.
And the little Indian boys and girls.

The boys who went to school with

to their ankles. Their arms were
thrust through short wide sleeves. I'm
der the cloak was worn close fitting

beneath the waist and reached to the
thighs above long colored stockings.
Their shoes were queer indeed. with
bulgy toes and long ribbons of their

4 Chippewa Indian Legend

the long ago time before the In
dian braves lived in the forest and
hunted and tished for their food,
the Manitou or spirits Of the
woods made their homes among the
trees and there raised their families.
On the bank of the shining Big Sea
Water lived Il very good Manitou and
ms wife and his son and daughter.
Every day when the sun shone warmly
the son and daughter played by the
side of the Big Sea Water; played
with boats of bark and with the gaily
colored stones which they tossed into
the water and with the flowers that
grew along the bank. And every day
when the dark clouds piled up and tho
rain came down. they played together
IN the wlSwam; played with stones ana
moses and sticks which the brother
was skillful at carving.
And always as they played. they
talked OF the day when they should De
big enough 10 help in the work OF the
world For above all things else, the
Manitou children long to help their
fathers and mothers do the work that
is theirs.
Finally the day came when the faith
er stood his son up by the side OF the
wiswam and measured him and tested
his strength and decided that at last
the son was old enough to help in the
work all good Manitou do. And that
same day the mother gave her daugh-
ter test OF skill and strength and
measured her hair and found that it
was long and beautiful and announced
that the daughter was now ready to do
the work Of a woman Manitou.
So the father and mother took their
children and presented them to the
King of the Manitou that he might

Suddenly she noticed that the air
was full of smoke. The old barn was
burning.
The robber cut q thick, generous

and the others crowded about him.

bers."
In rushed the man, followed nv
others, when one Of the strangers
waved a paper and shouted: wait.
Here's my search warrant. I'm a
Federal officer"
We'll. what are you doing here -
demanded Winston.
I'VE were told that this was a.
moonshine place" replied the man"
and that there was still hidden here.
This girl admitted she knew where the
stuff was hidden"
NONSENSE" cried the neighbor.
This is Mr.. Fowler's house and he's
the Sunday School superintendent.
You're on the wrong track, friend"
The man looked decidedly sheepish
and so did Vera as she explained: L
l thought you were after the mite
box money"
At that all three men threw back
their heads and laughed and just then
in walked Mr.. Fowler himself.
The fire burned up the old barn
but nobody cared. The sheriff caught
the real robber after an exciting
chase. and everybody in Monterey
| bought a lock or two. But if YOU
, want to make Vera real mad lust
wink and say: "Mite-box money" It
surely makes her sore.
