lain, there sprang up three flowers.
and in their center they were blue a.
the eyes Of the maiden who had gone,
and at their outer edges they were as
white and beautiful as her skin.
And all about other flowers sprang
up. until the hills and the plains were
dotted with them. and so was the col

that the columbine is the flower of

maiden who was killed by the fierce

The Russian winter Is as severe as
that Of the northernmost United
States and Canada, and this has
made the problem doubly pressing,
for the Russian markets have little
clothing available. and the supply
that Is for sale Is held at prices far
above the reach of the average
workingman. Overcoats cost more
than years salary. Some of the
organizations allied with the Amer
lean Relief Administration have
sent clothing for distribution in
Russia, but these contributions, big
as they are. have been "only drop

THE STORY OF THE
COLUMBINE

MANY. many years ago. when tho
49, world was young, and the Chosen
People lived In happiness in the
shadow Of the Great Peak which point
ed the way to Heaven. there was born
to the Chief of the Tribe 4 daughter.
This daughter grew to womanhood,
and was much loved by all the mem
bers Of the tribe. for she was the most
beautiful girl in all the world. Her
hair was as black as the clouds of
night; her eyes as deep and as blue as
the sky. Her skin was white-and not
red like that Of the Indians who knew
her. Her voice was as soft as the
south wind and as sweet as the voice
of the birds that sang to her from the
trees. And from all around. from near
and far. came the warriors of the
tribes to WOO her and claim her for
their wife.
As she grew older her fame spread,
and even distant tribesmen came to
look upon her and to love her. Her
fathers lodge was filed with precious
gifts which they brought-bows and
arrows. and skins and wampum and
beads and war jackets and all the
other precious things which they pos
sessed.
But the maiden loved all the war
riors alike, and none of them would
she marry though they asked her
many times; until finally there came
to the tribe Dakotah from the North,
and when he had wooed the maiden
for many moons. and she still refused
him. he became angry. One night he
crept to the chiefs lodge, where the
maiden was sleeping. and stole the
maiden away and mounted on his
horse and rode into the East.
When the u tribesmen discovered
what had happened, they mounted on
their ponies and started in pursuit
and for many days and many nights
they continued the chase, until at last
they came upon the warrior a. he was
crossing the Great River to the east
ward. When the warrior saw that he
was captured, he drew his knife from
Its sheath and plunged It into the
maiden's heart, and so she died. And
then the warrior himself fell upon the
knife. 'Hff lf f'd
So the tribesmen. with sorrow and
tears. carried the maiden home and
laid her down at the door to her ia
ther's lodge, and the whole tribe wept
and would not be comforted. Finally
the Manitou. seeing their grief, ap-
peared to the fathers of the tribe aud
to them he said:
"Grieve not my children. that your
daughter is lost to you. For 1 am
your father and will look over you,
and your daughter l will take with me
to live In the Happy Hunting Ground
where she can look down upon you
and see you and love you. And as a
