at the telephone. she called long dis.

to move south along the shore with
whomever he had with him. She went
out then, and fastened on her snow
shoes.
Constance hurried westward and
then north, following the bend of the
shore. The figure Of a man--one Of
the shore patrols-pacing the Ice hum
mocks Of the beach and staring out
upon the lake, appeared vaguely In
the dusk when she had gone about
two miles. She came. three quartert
of mile farther on, to a second man !;

went on.

| 1.-The steamer Number rs rammed

told her. 1.-THE men are all from her
They had abandoned her In the small
boats, and the Solwerk picked them
| up before the ferry found her"
He was not asking her TO congratu-
late him upon the relief he felt; he
had not so far forgotten himself as
that. But 1t was plain to her that he
was congratulating himself; It had
been fear that he was feeling before :
fear, she was beginning to understand,
that those on the ferry had been saved.
Horror and amazement flowed In up
on her with her realization Of this In
the man she had promised to marry.
For an instant she stared at him, all
her body tense; then, as she turned
and went out, he followed her, calling
her name. But, seeing the seamen in
the larger office. he stopped, and she
understood he was not willing to urge
himself upon her In their presence.
''Im willing to 60 home now, mother,
IL you WISH" she said steadily.
When they had gone down to the
street and were In the car, Constance
leaned back, closing her eyes; she
feared her mother might wish to talk
with her.
Toward three o'clock, the Office
called her, but only to report that they
had heard from Mr.. Sheriff.. He had
wired that he was going on from Man
istique and would cross the straits from
St iignace messages from him We're to
be addressed to Petoskey. There was
no other report except that vessels
were still continuing the search for
survivors, because the Indian Drum,
which had been beating, was beating
short" causing the superstitious to
be certain that, though some of the
men from Number rs were lost, some
yet survived.
Constance thrilled as she heard
that. She did not believe In the Drum !;
at least she had never thought she
had really believed in it; she had only
stirred to the idea of Its being true.
But If the Drum was beating, she was
glad 1t was beating short. 1t was
serving, at least, to keep the lake men
more alert.
A little later, as Constance stood at
the window, gazing out at the snow
upon the lake, she drew back suddenly
out OF sight from the street, as she
saw Henry's roadster appear out of
the storm and stop before the house.
She waited In the room where she
was. The strain he was under had
not lessened, she could see or rather,
II she could rust her feeling at sight
of him, 1t had lessened only slightly,
and at the same time his power to
resist 1t had been lessening too.

her that.

CROW KING, CHIEF WHO DEFfED
MEDICINE MEN

| CRAZ1 HORSE was brave with q
~ berserker recklessness; Sitting
| Bulls daring was tempered with pru-
dence; but another Sioux chief
showed a higher form of cOurage-the
courage to defy superstition and scoff
at the pretensions Of the medicine men
at the height of their power among
his people. He was Crow King or
The Crow (Kangi-"crow; Yatapi--
skiing" or "chief') Of the Hunkpapas
High Bear, Crow Kings brother, had
fallen Ill of tuberculosis which the
big medicine man of the Hunkpapas
called the evil spirit, whereupon Crow
King told him to cast 1t out and he
would pay him well. Although the
medicine man used all his charms and
nominations, High Bear still coughed.
So the sorcerer changed his "medi-
cine.' frequently finding new ex-
cuse for doing so and always charging
Grow King a certain number Of ponies
for each new charm used Other medi-
cine men were called in and soon Crow
Kings herd was almost wiped out.
Then High Bear died.
Crow King decided to put these
quacks out of business. He summoned
all of them to feast, where he asked
to be allowed to see the charm by
which each worked his wonders. Each
one proudly produced his fetlsh---a
bears claw, rabbits foot. a VOLTS eve
and a weasel's skin. Then Crow King
calmly dumped them into the fire.
The medicine men were Mortified:
they expected to see the defiler drop
dead. But Crow King defied them to
nrove the potency of their charms by
bringing vengeance down upon him.
From that day the power of the medi-
cine men among the Sioux waned.
Crow King had been great war
rior OF the Hunkpapas. He had
fought at Fort Phil Kearney. At the
Battle Of Little Big Horn he had led
the first charge which swept over the
hill where Custer made his last stand.
aud the shock of this onset had so
shattered the resistance OF Clusters
men that their humiliation few
minutes later was made certain. He
had fled to Canada with Sitting Bull,
but later he had denounced that leader
as a coward and fraud and had
brought his band back to the United
States 10 surrender.
When he settled on Standing Rock
reservation he became a leader of the
progressive element among the Hunk
papas. Because Of his prowess in bat
tie and his craftsmanship they had
henored him, but to the day of his
death, in 1885, they held him In high.

tened; as the voice stopped, his great,
finely-shaped head sank between his
shoulders; he fumbled In his pocket
for cigar, and his big hands shook
as he lighted 1t, without word Of ex-
cuse to her. A strange feeling came to
her that he felt what he dreaded APP
preaching and was no longer conscious
Of her presence.
She heard footsteps In the larger
room coming toward the office door.
Henry was In suspense. A rap came
at the door. He whitened, and wet his
lips.
Come In" he summoned.
One of the Office girls entered, bring
Ing white page of paper with three
or four lines of purple typewriting up
on 1t which Constance recognized must
be transcript of a message just re-
ceived.
She started forward at sight of It.,
forgetting everything else: but he took
the paper as though he did not know
she was there. He merely held 1t un-
til the girl had gone out; even then
he stood folding and unfolding 1t, and
his eyes did not drop to the sheet.
The girl had said nothing at all but,
having seen her, Constance was
athrill; the girl had not been a bearer
OF bad news, that was sure; she
brought some sort of good newsi Con-
stance, certain of 1t, moved nearer to
Henry to read what he held. He looked
down and read
"What Is II, Henry7
His muscular reaction, as he read,
had drawn the sheet away from her;
he recovered himself almost instantly
and gave the paper to her

"Two lifeboatsf" Constance cried
"That could mean that they all are

He had read some other significance
In 1t. she thought, or, from his greater
understanding Of conditions In the
storm, he had been able to hold no
hope from what had been reported
That was the only way she could ex-
plain to herself as he replied to her;
