To the Crows, and our brothers of
the other tribes this meant starva-
ton. Then, came the Onrushing
thrOng and we felt ourselves rapidly
being forced back into a country that
is not our home. Thus, my Son, I
took up this fight. I fought only for
my home and for my people.
'Now, boy, I go, to the Sand Hills.
Go you with your mother and sister
back to your people, the Crows. Long
Hairs prophecy is, coming true. Per-
haps this is all the will of the Great
Spirit, that a new race overcome us
and that our people forever lose
their power. At any rate the Crows
can never hope to block the progress
of this invasion. They must pray
to the Great Spirit for guidance and
protection. Be brave, my Son, and
in spite Of the outcome Of this pro
phecy, be proud that you are a Grow,
and cherish our traditions to the
last. Hoi''
The camps Of the Sioux tribes and
the Cheyennes have began their hur-
ried departure. Their dead have
been buried and the dance Of victory
has ended. Over the distant hill
the rising dust marks the long train
of traYOis headed into sections be-
.yOnd the reach Of the military. On
the side Of the little hill there stands
a Crow woman with her son. She has
cut OF her hair and both their faces
are cut and slashed and bleeding. It
Is now night. and the wall Of the
chant Of Death can be heard above

%"Medicine' was the one important thing
in the life Of an Indian warrior. This
was n gift from the Great Spirit of some
token of animal or article which was to
act as protector and prepayment Of good
fortune. The method of obtaining their
medicine, according to the different writ
ers. was much the same in the different
tribes of the Northwest. The Crows OBJ
tanned their medicine by going off alone
in a secluded place. This was usually the
top of a hill or mountain where they re-
manned until they dreamed Of some OBJ
ject two or three times in succession. when
they consider that this object, bird or ami
NAL has been appointed their medicine by
the Great Spirit. During the time OF this
seclusiOn, no food is partaken Of. 1t is a
period of fasting. After they have secured
their vision. they obtain this object or
some part Of it and carry it with them at
all times securely attached to their per-
son when they are away from their lodge.
If in battle, he must rush madly into the
midst of his foe and perish unless aided
by members of his own tribe, this medi-
cine will keep him secure, so he believes,
until aid comes. To lose ones medicine
is a great calamity and throws the loser
into great terror and apprehension. In this
event the medicine man Of the tribe is
called in, and upOn learning the nature OF
the last medicine, it is replaced by one as
similar as possible. It is not i%nfrequent
that a warrior have several medicines il
the course Of his life. When a warriors
medicine has brought him success, and pre-
served him in danger, it is recorded as
| strong. If he has continued misfortune
his medicine is weak.

hood, it was his custom to absent
himself from camp at frequent in
tervals and for long periods. He
would go into the mountains, he
said, to learn of the Great Spirit by
dreams what his medicines might
be, and after some time he informed
his people that the Great Spirit had
given him a perfect medicine, and at
the same time informed him that it
would guide him to victory in battle,
wisdom in council, and in a short
time would make him foremost
among the Crows.
"In proof of his statement, the
young man added that in a short
time a sign would be given to him,
which would be seen by all of his
people, by which sign the Crows
