When Mr.. Sherburne went into the

for many months without a headquar-
tiers. He would load a four-horse out
fit with flour, blankets, sugar, coffee
wampum beads and trinkets and travel
into the interior until he found an In
dian camp. There he would trade his
commodities for buffalo hides. He al
ways took a teamster to drive the out
fit and rode a pony.
On one of these occasions MIR. Sher-
burne followed a party Of surveyors. A

The merchandising business needed
no advertising In those days. News was

Indians came to trade. On one occa-

and took them to Arkansas City, where
he banked.
Ten years later the Cherokee strip
was thrown open and merchandising
again thrived without advertising. At
a very early hour one morning a thin
line of wagons appeared and by 10
o'clock the prairie was covered with
squatters. They rushed to the store and
bought everything it had, then visited
the home Of the merchant and bought
everything that could possibly be
spared. Mrs. Sherburne tells of hiding
things in the corn crib for fear they
would be stolen when she refused to
sell them.
After the boom came the grass
hopper plague and it was a short time
later that MI. Sherburne sought the
cooler climate of Montana and moved to
Browning, where he established his
present business. He sold the Ponca
business to Mr.. Brown, whose brother
in-law met Mr.. Sherburne's son the
other day and inquired the way to
Glacier park.

score or more, and a half grown
black bear, to whom the terror-stricker
rabbits paid no attention whatever, al
though at any other time they woulc
have recognized him as of theil

they be trodden upon, then crowded

no heed to the rabbits, though careful
not to tread on them.
But the bear was another matter, or
account of her calf. She started ar
angry rush at him, and with a whimpel
of frightened protest he shrank away
beyond the shelter Of the rock. The
heat soon drove him back again, squeal-
ing piteously. And now the COW let him
stay. He was quite evidently as harm
less as the rabbits. Finding himself thus
tolerated, he stopped whimpering and
seemed to derive a certain comfort
from the apparent confidence and self
possession Of the tall COW.
The calf, meanwhile, In his Ignorance
quickly recovering from his terror, was
nursing greedily. But the smoke was
thickening and the heat growing more
unbearable even behind the shield OF
the rock; and blazing or red hot brands
we're now and then dropping well out
in the lake. The GOV could wait nc
longer. She cut short the Calls nursing
and led the way swiftly down into the
water, keeping the calf close at her
side. Straight for that low line OF the
island, dimly seen under the smoke, she
headed resolutely.
A few yards of shore the bottom
dropped suddenly and the calf went
under. He came to the surface again
at once with a frightened bawl, kicked
out wildly to try and find foothold, and
found himself swimming. A yard OF
two more and the COW also was in deer
water. Refreshed by the sudden Icy
plunge, and with the healing GOODNESS

their going anxiously till they were al
most out of sight, now summoned up
his courage, splashed frantically into
the water and swan after them. He
had no idea where he was going, his
none too keen eyes not discerning the
distant island, but he trusted the great
COW, and he could not endure to be
left behind with the doomed and hope
less rabbits.
