CHAPTER XII

No one but Wood Pigeon observed
the faintness which came over Toi-
nette. Some force had drawn smoth-
ering curtain about her making it diff
ficult to see or breathe. When the
shock passed, they were standing alone
with the mob closing in behind Tiaoga
and his single captive. Its pent-up
emotion burst loose In a pandemonium,
and amid the excitement Toinette
went back to the cabin which Jeems
had built near Tiaoga's tepee.
At first she had regretted the alb
sence of Jeems, but now she was glad
he was gone, for the increasing tumult
in the village, the chanting of death
songs by the women, the screaming of
children, and the yelling of savages
who were working themselves into
frenzy Of rage about the fire which
would soon receive its victim terrified
her with the growing conviction that
nothing could save his uncle If Jeems
had been there, she knew he would
not have seen Hepsibah Adams put to
death without struggle fatal to him
self. This thought, together with the
reflection that it was a fortunate
chance which had sent him away,
strengthened her determination to help
Hepsibah, and she watched with Wood
Pigeon until she saw the chief enter
his tepee. Then she hurried to him,
with Wood Pigeon and Odd following
her.
Tiaoga's greeting held no promise.
The Seneca folded his arms across his
breast and regarded her calmly, re-
vealing no gentle aspect as he spoke
a few words in acknowledgment of
her visit. That his prisoner bore the
same relationship to Jeems which he
bore to Shindas and that the man
about to die was loved by Silver
Heels brought no surprise or hestita-
ton to his face. He waited patiently
for her to finish, then shook his head
and pointed through the door to the
shadows gathering in the path of the
setting sun. He stated coldly that the
prisoner must die. HIS people de-
manded that the spirit Of the white
man who had slain three Of his war
riors be destroyed in flames. They
would wait until it was dark, which
was the tribal custom. Then the pris-
oner would be brought from the tepee
in which he was lying bound, and the
fire would be lighted.
If it were her desire, she might talk
with Jeems' uncle, Tiaoga said. He
was looking into the twilight when he
made this concession. The Indian
women at the farther end of the vii
lage were chanting more loudly as
darkness came on.
Tiaoga spoke again.
She must hurry. 1t was growing
late. The captive was in All De Bah's

Growing a beard, dyeing the hair,
and staining the face and hands with
a mixture Of butternut oil, nutgall,
and permanganate Of potash, are old
time lodges that have often been very
useful to the hunted man. Stained with
the above mixture, fair-skinned man
becomes as swarthy as Spaniard or
Italian; 1t once made a burglar ION

had the audacity to sell ice cream

for criminals who are anxious to give
a wide berth to the police is going
on the sick list. Hospital authorities
in London and the provinces are much

Satisfied BY Figures

You would think that mathemati-
clan who had worked out the position
of new planet would be interested in
having look at that planet, when dis
covered, wouldn't you? Yet Leverrier,
the Frenchman, who did the figuring
that located Neptune in 1916, was once
in the observatory with Flammarion,
the astronomer, who at that moment
had Neptune showing in the telescope,
and asked Leverrier if he would like
to see it. He replied:
"No, have never seen it."
He had discovered Neptune's posi-
ton by mathematics and there his in
terest in it ended The joy of a mathe-
matician is the discovery of theo-
retic truth, or the confirmation Of a
calculation by experimentation

"Rome of the North"

The country which today seems to
stand at the crossroads of Europe is
Czechoslovakia. To many this name
is terra incognito," but when the
eye picks out Prague, Carlsbad, Mari
enbad, Franzenbad and Pilzen, it is
Immediately recognized as an old
haunt of tourists. Prague was favor
lite city with Goethe, Chateaubriand,
George Sand, Provost and Brandes,
who praised it as "the Rome of the
North" Here is the famous Hradcany,
ancient seat of the kings Of Bohemia
and now the residence of the Presi-
dent. Here also is the majestic Goth
ic cathedral of st. Vitus and the beau
tiful Charles bridge over the yiatava.
The most striking natural beauty Of
the land is the resorts in the Tatia
mountains.

High Importance Still
Attached to the Seal

We still preserve something Of the
reverence paid to sealing in the ORR
entail lands, from whence we got the
custom. For instance, when the lord
chancellor In England, or the secre-
tary Of state in Canada afflxes the
great seal" to a statute, commits
sion, or any other official document, It
becomes something which has all the
force of an inviolable law. They had
that rule in China unnumbered years
ago. The great seal of a document,
thrust in a mans face, brought him
to his knees straightway. 1t repre-
scented the supreme unassailable pow
er-the power that was as nearly d.
vine as could be in this world. Some
times to this day commanders Of ships
or fleets are sent of to sea, under
sealed orders not to be opened except
ing under certain conditions, or on
certain day. 1t is well understood
that to break the seals In disobedience
to command would bring the utmost
disgrace upon the disobedient officer.
The sealed orders become a sacred
charge, an honor conferred upon an
officer, whose obedience and honesty
is conhded in by his sovereign, a
charge to be respected and defended
unto death itself.-Montreal Family
Herald.

at the head of the waiting lines when
Tiaoga and the remnant of his band
came over the hill and across the
fields. Shindas had said there was to
be no physical demonstration against
the prisoner, who was to be kept
strong for torture at the stake. Toi
nette shivered. 1t was different
Homecoming this time. The people
were like tigers holding their passions
in leash. There was something de-
moniac in the faces Of the children.
Even the eyes of those whose loved
ones had escaped death hefd only the
deep-seated fire of hatred Tlaoga
came. His face was like a mask of
rock as he passed so near that Toll
nette might have touched him. The
prisoner followed. His clothes were
torn from the upper part Of his body.
He was a powerfully built man with
great hands and wide shoulders. On
each side Of him walked a warrior, for
he was blind and needed guidance.
His empty eye sockets, hidden by
dropping lids, gave to his round red
face the appearance Of one walking
in a CHASTITY sleep. Yet he was not
overcome by the enormity of the
catastrophe which had befallen him,
nor did he betray fear of what lay
ahead. He sensed the presence of the
people and held his head high as if
trying to see them. It was bald
head.
Toinette swayed backward and
struggled in a moment of darkness to
keep herself from falling.
The prisoner was Hepsibah Adams.

Meaning of ''Resinald''

Reginald is an old Teutonic name
meaning powerful judgment" 1t
comes from "ragn" or "regn," mean
ing justice or wise decision, and
"wald," power" When the two words
were put together 1t was found SO
much easier to omit the ''W" at the
commencement Of the second, so in
stead of "Ragnwald" or "Reglnwald,"
1t was shortened into the familiar
Reginald and Reggie. The name was
used very much by the Normans and
is found many times in the Domesday
book, which William the Conqueror
ordered to be made. When used in
Scotland it is often spelled Ronald. In
Italy 1t becomes Rinaldo, while Rex
is the short English variant, the whole
set originally coming from the Latin
word "rego," II rule"

Rising Realty Values Lure
Savings While Many
Americans Wait.

The immigrant who has known
America 80 days often is more appre-
ciative Of the advantages Of investment
IN the land than the man who has lived
next door to a thriving subdivision 80
years, says George F. Nixon of Chicago,
writing In the National Association OF
Real Estate Boards series of articles
for the public.
The foreign-born, who earn their liv-
ing as pushcart vendors, laborers, fac
tory hands and domesticS, form the ma
jority Of clients for many real estate
officers, to whose doors they come I'M
urged by craftsmanship, says Mr.. Nixon,
who Is president Of the Illinois Associa-
ton Of Real Estate Boards.
Usually unable to read the realtors

and Greeks listen with wide-eyed
an1azement to the stories they hear of
rising realty values and hasten 20 place
their first surplus funds In the land Of
their adoption. The amazement Is due
to the fact that these people come from
countries where land values remain the
same for generation after generation
because Of the non-eXpansion proclivi-
ties Of European cities" the article
continues.
Mr.. Nixon, who has been in business
IN the Chicago area for 10 years, has
records that show 5000 sales to foreign
born wage-earners during this time
Homes, commercial buildings, income
properties and vacant lots have been
bought by janitors, walters and boot
blacks who create their first surplus
funds for this purpose" MI. Nixon
writes.
Beginning with a handful of coins,
brought into real estate Offices wrapped
in the proverbial red handkerchief,
such people have purchased tiny homes
sold on rising markets with the sagacity
Of bankers, used the proceeds to acquire
modest rental structures, sold again and
ended with 9 sl1yscraper.

An Explanation
(Contributed)
In answer to the criticism pub
lished in the Wolf Point Herald
in the Nickwall news of last week
the following excerpt is taken
from a recent letter sent out by
Miss Starner, county superinten-
dent of McCone county:
81 have heard considerable dis
cussion regarding the reason why
the Pleasant View school was per-
mitted to compete in the Mus di-
vision. My reason for permitting
the change was this: At Vida six
teen schools were scheduled; at
Mus eleven were scheduled. 1t
had been my desire to have as
nearly as possible an ever num-
Der of schools represented in each
district, yet. geographically, this
seemed impossible. | had to ar
range to permit the schools to go
to the nearest meet. When, how
ever, Pleasant View asked per-
mission to make the change, l
was very glad to grant the re-
quest, since this made the division
more equal in number. After the
change, Vida still had fifteen to
twelve at Mus. Since one school
in each district failed to enter,
Vida had fourteen at the prelim-
mary and Mus had eleven. Thus
Vida had the largest preliminary.
There were eleven schools at Cir
Gle, nine at Weldon, and nine at
Brockway."
