This immaculate servant knew to a
nicely the right degree of servility
to adopt to his masters guests, ac-
cording to their rank. He never
slipped, he never smiled, and to see
him conducting operations at a dinner
party was to see an artist at work.
And yet tonight James, the immac-
ulate, was plainly unnerved. Courses
were served in their wrong order, wine
was split and, as final blow, salt was
upset upon very superstitious and
important old man.
Anything wrong, James?" the host

WHEN A JOURNEY WAS MEAS.
URED IN "PIPES"

En- roulant ma boule, roulant;
En- roulant ma boule, en- roulant me
boule,
EN- roulant ma boule roulant!
ITO THE accompaniment of this gay
l. chanson the paddles dipped and
flashed in the sun as the brigade of
long canoes swept around a bend in
the river. Then at the shout of the
bourgeois, "WhOop la! A terre, a
terre, pour la pipe!" the sturdy arms
of the voyageurs brought the canoes
around sharply and beached them
gently on the sloping bank.
For these were the days when the
fur trade was the principal industry
of the Middle Western frontier and
the picturesque figures of the French
Canadian trader (the bourgeois) and
his employees (the voyageurs) held
the center of the the stage.
The voyageur's life was one Of diff
ficult tasks, long hours and constant
privatiOn. For it all he received the
munifcent wage of about $100 year
and daily ratiOns of a quart of lyed
corn and one ounce of tallow or Its
equivalent in whatever sort of food
is to be found in the Indian country"
But more light-hearted, happy-go-
lucky fellow never lived. Simple,
trusting and intensely loyal to his
bourgeois, he regarded the terms of
his engagement as binding to the let
ter on both parties. Once M. st. Jean,
a trader on the Upper Mississippi, or
dered one of his voyageurs to go with
a party into the forest to chop wood,
The man refused.

declared.
"Ah, for what were you hired?" ex-
claimed NJ st. Jean.
'To steer a boat, monsieur"
"Very well, steer a boat then you
SHALL" replied the bourgeois.
1t was midwinter and the boats
were frozen in the ice-bOund river.
But the stubborn voyageur was
marched to the river bank, placed in
the stern of a boat, given paddle
and ordered to steer.
There he sat holding the paddle in
his benumbed hands for two hours.
At the end of that time he was willing
to admit that he might perform duties
other than those stipulated in his
agreement and he never again refused

TALES OF
THE OLD

THE HERO OF FORT DEARBORN
By ELMO SCOTT WATSON

ZKTHEN on August 10, 1872, Fort
w Dearborn, a lonely frontier out

of Chicago was evacuated there rode
at the head of the column of troops
white man with his face painted
black, the Indian token of a person
soon to die. He was Capt. William
Wells, member Of a prominent Ken
tucky family, who as. boy had been
captured by the Miami tribe. He had
become an Indian in everything except
blood, and as chief of the Miamis
his hand had slain men of his own
race when the western tribes defeated
Harmar in 1870 and st. Clair in 1901.
Eventually Wells love for his favor
tie niece, Rebekah Wells, had inf1u-
enced him to desert his adopted peo-
pie and return to his own. And 1t
was his devotion to her, now the wife
of Capt Nathan Heald, commandant
at Fort Dearborn, that had brought
him p0SthaSte from his home in Fort
Wayne, Ind. when he heard that
Dearborn was to be abandoned. Wells
knew the treacherouS nature of the
Pottawattomies, who were then swarm
ing about Fort Dearborn, and he had
no faith in their promise of safe con-
duct for Heald and his soldiers.
His ominous fears were soon real

Lake Michigan, the Pottawattomies at

up a gallant fight at the front. Then
seeing the savages surrounding the
wagons bearing the women and chill
dren of the fort, he rode to the rescue.
Several Indian bullets struck him, but
he managed to reach the side of his
beloved Rebekah.

f'A1 that is left for US is to die as
bravely as we can."
The Indians were closing in on them.
His horse went down, pinning one OF
his legs beneath it, but he killed two
Pottawattomies who were rushing to-
ward him with tomahawks uplifted.
Then he barred his breast, pointed to
his heart and ran his finger around
the crown of his head as a sign that
they were to shoot him and take his
scalp.
The Pottawattomies had recognized
him from the first. They knew him
as Black Snake, a warrior of the
Miami, as a daring scout for the
whites and as one of the bravest men,
white or red, on the frontier. SO he
had his wish. A rifle bullet sped to
its mark and his enemies believing
that by so doing they could gain some
of his courage, cut out and ate of the
great heart of Capt William Wells,
the hero of Fort Dearborn.

How the olive tree came to be the

Neptune-wished to found a city on
the same spot, and. referring the mat

decreed that the privilege should be
granted to whichever would bestow
the most useful gift on the future in
habitants. Neptune struck the earth
with his trident and forth came a war
