savages, and suffer the added in
dignity of being laughed at, into
the bargain? For the Indians took
no pains to conceal that they enjoy
ed the situation as much as it an
gered him.
At last, their hunger satisfied,
the Indians left as unceremoniously
as they came, taking with them all
the tobacco they could find in the
cabin, and Paul watched them trot-
ting toward the river, which they
forded, and were soon out of sight.
Then he turned his attention to the
cabin, which was in a sad state,
with the floor covered with bacon
rinds and tables and chairs liber-
ally creased. The bread dough
was over the side of the pan, and
the dried apple sauce was scorched.
When the surveying party re-
turned at dusk, they found a clean
cabin and plenty to eat; but they
had ham instead of bacon; the ap-
pie sauce had a peculiar taste not
concealed by a liberal addition of

ASK CARNEGIE MEDALS
FOR NEIHART GIRLS

Carnegie hero medals will be
sought for Edith McCracken and
Eleanor Rose of Neihart for their
part in sounding the alarm and fight
ing the $4,000 fire that destroyed
the Porter general store at that place
early in the morning of December 25-
A communication from Neihart
describes the part played by the two
young women:
when the blaze was discovered,
neither Miss Rose o Miss McCrack-
I en-, clerks who lived in rooms above
the store, took time to dress despite
the fact that the temperature was 40
degrees below zero. Miss McCracken,
clad in a kimono and slippers. a

bell a block away. A wire instead of
a rope is attached to the bell. This
wire was so full of frost that it cut
deeply into her hands with every pull,
yet Miss McCracken rang the bell
continuously for 10 minutes or until
the entire town was aroused. Her
udHuS W6l6 81 ldCSldl6Q ludl Ln6 wire
is still covered with frozen blood.
miss Rose, also lightly clad, ran
to the pool hall and gave alarm. She
helped little Dorothy Porter, four
years of age, to a place of safety and
then ran back to the burning store,
where, for three hours she assisted in
saving p~ostoffice supplies and in aid
ing the volunteer fire department
with the hose"
Neihart folk will stress to the Car
negie Hero Fund commission the fact
that the prompt spreading of the
alarm probably saved the town, the
buildings of which are virtually all
constructed of wood. They will point
out also that the giving of the alarm
so quickly probably saved the lives
of two men, a and two chill
dren who were sleeping in the build
ing.

except the distant party over by the
falls. There was absolutely no
help to be looked for without, and
within were those armed savages.
All the stories he had ever read or
heard of Indian outrages required
to him with alarming distinctness
and caused him to congratulate
himself that his summer haircut
would lessen its value as an orna-
ment for the belt of a Blackfeet
brave.
The ponies stood invitingly near
but he knew one step in their dir
ection would be the signal for us
ing him as a target. . There was
nothing he could do but trust prov
idence, and be resigned to whatever
fate awaited him. He tried to re-
assure himself with the time-worn
aphorism, Nobody dies until his
time comes; but it simply led to
a feeling of uncertainty whether
his time had arrived, or was on the
way.
Meanwhile the Indians, curious
as children, were examining every
thing they could find in the cabin.
One of them lifted the cover from
the rising bread; then, with a con-
temptuous UGH" clapped the
cover on again, and turned his at
tention to some more interesting
object. 4
Finally another Indian intim-
ated by signs that Paul should
come inside; and when he unwill-
complied, the redskin pointed
to a side of spiced bacon suspended
from the ceiling, then to the stove,
indicating that there be a union

that, and the meal was enlivened by
the recital of what had taken place
during their absence. They tried
to hide the amusement it occasion

usual routine. He cleared the table

saw horses; but he did not shake
the table cloth. there being none.
Then came the dishwashing set
ting the bread to rise; putting the
soaked dried apples on the stove
to cook; and the sweeping of the
cabin floor. This would complete
This activities until the bread had
to be made out.
With a last flourish of the broom
he swept the dust out of DOORS,
where a Great Falls zephyr caught
it and bore it away. Still holding
the broom he looked abroad at the
too familiar scene before him. The
day was charming-there was
nothing wrong with the day, but
Paul had seen many like it. He
couldn't get out and enjoy it, likt
those others over there he could
barely discern near the Black Eagle
falls, and knew to be his party.
Before him stretched, to where
the river sparkled in the sunlight,
a grassy plain fringed with trees;
and if he turned to the east there
could be seen the jagged outlines
of the Highwoods and he knew
that a glance toward the west
would reveal the Sun river valley
to the point where it merged in
the main chain of the Rockies. He
was tired of it all. He craved COM
panionship, not scenery. "Well,"
thought he, there's no more cook
ing to do after the bread is out of
the oven. Blamed if I don't believe
I'd be willing to get up a meal, if
only some one would drop in to
help me eat IT."
Just then he heard a slight sound
that made him turn quickly in the
from which it came, and
he was startled at seeing a half
dozen mounted Blackfeet APP
preaching, the unshod hoofs of
their ponies making scarcely any
noise. Riding up to the door they
1ismounted and without the usual
friendly "How," given with ex-
hand, they haughtily brush

TT is difficult to realize that a
comparatively short time ago
the present site of the city OF
Great Falls looked like any ordin-
airy cattle ranch except for its re-
markable scenic features-the Mis-
souri, river, the Black Eagle falls,
and its extensive mountain view.
Over it roamed antelope and deer,
coyotes, and almost as wild cattle
that came to drink at the river, or
at the small spring near Second
avenue south, later known as Hugs
Spring. Trees and thick under
brush grew along the river; and
many varieties of snakes, includ-
ing the harmless water and garter
snakes, the brilliant-hued blue
racer, the bull snake, and the dead
ly rattlesnake abounded From the
stagnant pools left by he recess
sion of the river after its June flood
tide, rose swarms of mosquitoes
that made life almost uncomfortable
for man or beast.
Into this wilderness at length
ventured a small company of SUR
veyors to map out the future city
and its adjacent homesteads and
pre-emption claims. At first they
made their camp near the river. not
far from what is now First avenue
but later they were quarter
ed in a log cabin on the hillside
south of the present town. and the
only building there.
Few of these so-cailed surveyors
knew anything about civil engin-
eering; but they had volunteered
