CHAPTER 9
NOR what seemed to be an in
Il terminable time after the
final breakdown Of his physical
strength David Carrigan lived in
q black world where a horde of
unseen little devils were shoot
ing red-hot arrows into his brain.
He did not sense the fact Of
human presence; nor that the
divan had been changed into a
bed and the four lamps lighted,
and that wrinkled, brown hands
with talon-like fingers were per
forming a miracle Of wilderness
surgery upon him.
He did not see the age-old face
Of Nepapinas-"The Wandering
Bolt of Lightning the bent
and tottering Cree called upon
all his so years of experience to
bring him back to life. And he
did not see Bateese, stolid-face,
silent nor the dead-white face
and wide-open staring eyes Of
Jeanne Marie-Anne Boulain as
her slim, white fingers worked
with the old medicine mans.
He was in a gulf of blackness
that writhed with the spirits Of
torment. He fought them and
cried and his cries brought the
look Of death itself into the eyes
of the girl who was over him.
He did not hear her voice nor
feel the soothing of her hands,
nor the powerful grip of Bateese
as he held him when the critical
moments came. And Nepapinas,
like a machine that had looked
upon death a thousand times,
gave no rest to his clawlike
fingers until the work was done
and it was then that some
thing came to drive the arrow
shooting devils out Of the dark.

cit is hard to believe that from
ordinary wrapping paper can be
created an attractive light shield.
It is painted with textile dyes in
brilliant colors on a black back.
ground.
Against cream -colored paper
spattered in sepia ink, are pressed
some ferns and Queen Anne's
Lace or Wild Carrots The
color produced is lovely and un-
usually effective for a Iampshade
Of larger size. The process is ex-
tremely simple.
IAN original hall lantern Is
made from dyed crinkled wrapping
paper and embroidery hoops. Not
alone hall lantern, but a pleated
shade for the living room can be
madeo from dyed wrapping paper
waxed over. A new but simple
process is used in making a
dainty boudoir lampshade. Over
q linen foundation, crepe paper,
sealing wax and crystalline beads
are applied. 1t is fascinating to
do. The revival Of the old art Of
gpatter work produces a charm
