The Crees Start West
When Mrs. Pruden was but a few
weeks old her mother died and her
father took her to Winnipeg, where she
was put in an Episcopal school. Here

to John Pruden, the son of a Scotch
Cree woman and a French-Cree man.
Immediately after their marriage they
started for the good hunting grounds
of western Canada with their ponies
and their travios.
At Battleford, Sask., they camped on
the outskirts of a huge Cree village.
The Crees were in a turmoil and the

One morning at dawn, the. camp vas
startled into feverish activity by the
arrival of a Cree rider who announced
that the British redcOatS were less than
two hours away. Immediately the In
dians prepared for battle. The squaWs,
papooses, ponies, tepees and travois
were hurried to the north. The braves,

Many soldiers were killed." Mrs
Pruden declares. The braves knew
how to fight and when the soldiers
would come riding straight on their
horses the Indians, in their shelters,
would shoot them down." The battle
lasted until after noon and then the
soldiers, taking their dead and wound

soldier they did not find.

Lad Said to Enjoy Spirits
Comp anionship.

London.--A iovial ghost who oblig
ingly produces money from thin air,
eats apples and leaves his Cher or its)
teeth marks in the core and throws
ink hotties when she Tor IT'D is angry,
is said to be the constant companion
Of ten-year-old boy who lives In
P0ona, India.
The story was related before the
National Laboratory OF Psychical Re
search by Miss Helen Kohn, a B, A.
of London university The hoy, said
Miss Kohn, is her young nephew,
Damodar Ketkar, who was adopted
by Miss Kohn's sister when he was
four.
The youngster is coming to England
soon. and the National Laboratory
Is arranging to have a committee of
reputable London doctors investigate
his ghostly companion.
Sometimes said Miss Kohn, "the
manifestations are harmless and at
other times definitely destructive.
There was time when it seemed
that this mysterious spirit was max
ing a determined attempt on the boys
life
"Things were smashed so rapidly
with no human explanation, that
Damodar had to be fed by hand and
all glass objects had to be removed.
AS the child moved through the room
he was surrounded by broken glass,
and scattered liquids, particularly sac
charine, to which the spirits appeared
to have an especial aversion.
"Once Damodar put out some fruit
for his ghost. In a few moments 1t
had disappeared and later the skins
were flung from nowhere bearing the
marks of teeth.
"Another time a FIVE rupee note
suddenly appeared in the air in the
middle of dinner party. Nobody
claimed it and it was marked and
locked in trunk. 1t disappeared and
was never found"

SYNOPSIS:

The human element of this story is
enriched by a study in heritage
genealogy. Noble blood of two races
united In one case. primitive and saw
age. but none the less royal; in the
other, civilized and cultured to the
highest degree This phase is based
on the historical union, some century
and half agone. between the Indian
maiden known as Molly Brant, sister
OF Thayendanega that greatest Of Mo
hawk chiefs, and Sir william John
son, representative of King George III
in the colonies
Down through the years to de-
scendant, to a Molly Brant of the pres
ent time, married to a Croesus and
living in a palace in the city of New
York Through her son, a throw back
to type, the blood of the original Mol
1y Brant comes into it's own. This
blending Of the primitive and the mod
ern Is one of the greatest destinations
of the story. 1t is given an appropri-
ATE setting-in a village far back In
Quebec where the Eighteenth century
touches elbows with the Twentieth
The American melting pot is symbol
lied in the Crippled Lady herself
The late James oliver Curwood was
a writer of adventure stories who had
a most wonderful faculty for catching
the spirit and translating the romance
of a chosen locality IT was Singh
larly fortunate that his affections cen
tered about the north country. about
the Habitant sections of Quebec and
those farther reaches of forests and
SHOWS toward the Arctic,
No one has written more or better
stories about the regions he loved than
Curwood New editions of his works
make their appearance with even
greater regularity than did new nov
els from his pen during life. One or
his last books was "'rhe Crippled Lady
of Peribonka," tale that will be read
and read again for many years.

How TO Reduce
VaricOse Veins

Many people have become desporl-

lieve that there is no remedy that will
reduce swollen veins and punches.
II you will get two-ounce original
bottle of Moone's Emerald Oil (tull
strength) at any frst-class drug store
and apply it night and morning as di-
rected you will quickly notice an i'm

veins and punches are reduced to
normal.
Indeed, so powerful is Emerald Oil
that old chronic sores and ulcers are
often entirely healed and anyone who
is disappointed with its use can have
their money refunded.
