heaven content with his handiwork.
He left behind him on the earth
| happy kingdom where the animals
lived in peace together and where the
grizzly, who was their king. was kind
and just and fair to weak and. strong
alike.
AS time went on there finally came
u daughter to cheer the life of the
Manitou in heaven; and as she grew
to wOmanhOOd she was fair to look
upon as beautiful as the dawn and
as stately as the oak. The blue sky
gave the color to her eyes. the placid
lakes put their expression there; and
golden sunbeams gave their beauty to
her hair. The south wind warmed
her blood and made it red; the SHOWS
gave off their glow to tinge her skin.
The riEpling waters soft and low,
gave up their music in q voice for her.
And she was fair to look upon, even
as the blossoms in her hair.
The Manitou, who loved her much,
gave her the freedom of the heavens
and the earth to go and come as she
pleased, excepting only the one small
spot where the grizzly was given
power to reign. Here she must not
go, for there were evil spirits and
strong hands to stay her way And
there the power of the ManitOu did
IL.
grizzly who was ruler.
But one day, walking all alone, the
maiden forgot the warning of her fa-
ther and wandered into this forbidden
land where lived the grizzly, and
where flowers bIoomed and all was
dered about the forest the beasts saw
her beauty and carried word of her
coming to the grizzly. And the grizzly
came down the trail and looked upon
her and desired her. He was so i'm
pressed with her beauty that he for
cot the Manitou and his rover, and
seeing the maiden, carried her off
against her win to his home AND
there he kept her hid away for many
/ moons and finally he married her. al
though it was against her WILL and
for long years he held her in captivity
ana the Manitou knew not where she
had gone or why.
Finally child was born to the griz-
zly and the daughter of Aanitou And
this child when he had grown, heard
from his mothers lips the story of the
grizzly's cruelty. He learned too, how
the grizzly had run away with the
daughter of ManitOu and had stolen
her from her home and kept her in
captivity; and he was very angry, and
prayed night and day to the Manitou,
who was his grandfather, asking that
he might be given the strength and
the wisdom to right the wrong.
So the Manitou heard his plea and
decided that the grizzly must be pun
ished; and so the Manitou decreed
that the grizzly henceforth should
walk on four feet like the beasts he
had governed And on his body hair
was made to grow, and his language
became the grunt and the squeal: and
he was made to dig in the ground to
find his food and his eyes were made
to watch his feet and no longer could
he look toward heaven and into the
face of the Manitou, who is good al
ways.
In his place the Manitou named the
Red Mantle son of the Great Spir-
it's daughter and the grizzly-to rule
so long as he bore himself as a man.
From his mother he inherited his form
and beauty and wisdom and from his
father the strength and courage and
p0wer-and so he came to rule over
the land which the Manitou had Gre
ated.
So was the creation of the Chosen
People who are the tribesmen, and
who lived for ages under the sunshine
Of heaven and counseled with Manitou
and ruled long and well until in later
years evil spirits came from the sea
and fought and wrestled with the
Chosen People and took away their
power and their strength. Then did
the Manitou intervene to set right the
affairs of earth and to give to US, who
are his children, those things which
are ours by right. But that, again. is
another story, and too many stories at
one time are not best for little ears.
Note-Here again we have a legend
from the nomadic tribes of the noun

and all the tribes of the great Sho-
shone family. This legend, expressed
in pictures, is one of the fea lures of
