Weasel, who wore around his neck
a string of black and white beads, lift
ed them and said.
IF one Of the enemy could have
shot through the hole in of these
beads, I would have been killed. So
swift was this horse that we made no
target for their arrows. He vas as a
grasshopper shining in the sun, SHIN
mering and dazzling the eyes with his
beauty. He was born to save us. Here
after he shall be honored as only the
bravest warriors are"
After the Crees and A~ssinniboines
had returned to their own country, they
sent messengers to the eros Ventres
praising the bravery of the warrior,
Weasel, and the fleetness of the horse.
Weasel, they said, should be given
only the choicest parts of the buffalo
for his food. A song had been made in
his honor and he had been named
The ros-Ventres-Wh o-Rode-The-Ap
paloosie-Horse.
Some months later Sitting Woman
moved his camp to a pleasant site at
the foot of the Sweetgrass hills. Their
enemies, the CreeS and Assinniboines
had left them in peace for a period
and Sitting Woman felt secure for the
time being.
One day the warriors and younger
men of the village had all gone hunt
ing or were out scouting for possible

outnumbered with many of the bravest
warriors dead or badly wounded. Look
ing wildly about for a horse, as his
own had been killed, he saw q beauti-
full black and white horse tethered a
short distance up the creek. He ran
"You "a not take that horse. He be-
longs to my husband, Chief Sitting
Woman" she cried.
But Weasel paid no attention to
her. Untying the horse he mounted
and rushed into battle shouting.
"Our warriors are being killed. Soon
our women men, and dS children Ea1se VIII 4 p Is = taken
At the creek he stopped and smeared
his naked body with black mud. Now
Weasel, by this time, had lost his bow.
But on his back was a culver OF ar
rows. AS the horse, excited by the great
noise and eager to take part n the
battle plunged forward, Weasel snatch
ed the arrows from his CULVER and
left at the enemy. The Assinniboines
and Crees tried again and again to
strike him or his horse but SO swift
was the horse and so unerring the aim
Of the warrior that they could not touch
them. The black and white horse
plunging so furiously, and the mud
splashed body of the rider thrusting
some sight and the enemy, thinking
surely they we're superhuman, gave
way and fled, dragging their wounded
with them and pursued by the eros
Ventres warriors still unhurt.
When Weasel, who had pursued the
enemy some distance, returned to the
shambles that had been a peaceful vii
1age, he and his horse were met by
the people who praised them and gave
great honor to them.

of their campfires and the slashed
coverings of their lodges.
The two boys rode until they reached
a eros Ventres camp where some a
Sitting Woman's relatives lived. Thef0
they were given shelter and care unt8
their fathers and elder brothers cams
for them.
Because his relatives had cared 6oe
the boys, Sitting Woman gave to h1D
brother-in-law the spotted horse, tell
ing him to cut the horses name and
tail, placing him in mourning for tn
dead women and children.
That night a dream came to the mA0
who had been given the horse and who
had cut the flowing name and tan
In the dream the horse came to tbs
man and said:
You have clipped my wings. I WM

bravely in battle. In a few days, I too.
with so many of my people, will b
dead"
The man vas much worried aboub
the dream and in the morning went
at once to where the horse was teth-
cred. He brought with him tender gran
and fresh water but the horse would
not touch it. Day after day the man
brought him food and water but the
one morning when the man came to
tend him he found him dead. The
entire camp mourned the death Of The
horse and word was sent to SittinG
Woman and Weasel that the animal
had died in spite of the care given
him.
Weasel placed his lodge in mourning
for the dead animal and made q so0G
praising his bravery and fleetness.
So came to an end the beautiful
spotted horse who to this day Is given
credit for saving Sitting Woman'l
camp and who, Weasel's song relates
was born to save his people.

war parties. A watch was always kept,
no matter how peaceable the country
side, for wandering bands of the enemy
who coveted the hunting grounds and
camping places of the eros Ventres.
Only the women, the children, and the
women had much to do for there had
recently been a great hunt and there
were many skins to clean and Scrape,
many lodge coverings to mend and
make, and clothing to prepare for the
approaching winter.
When the men were many miles from
the village, a war party OF CreeS and
Assinniboines charged down upon the
camp from a we'll hidden ravine in the
hills where, no doubt, watch had been
kept over the activities of the eros
Ventres village. AS the wa party
swept down upon them one of the
young boys, too young, to accompany
loosie horse was picketed. AS he sprang
upon the back of the silvery spotted
| horse a Piegan woman, wife of a eros
| Ventres, rushed to him with her small

behind the boy and striking the ami
NAL with her hand, cried:
Ride westward on this swift horse
struck and we are about to be killed
| There are none to defend us. We are
left even without weapons to defend
ourselves"
AS the appaloosie horse, belly low
to the ground and ears laid back, gal
loped away from the village, the hos
tile party arrived amid the shrieking
of the women and the crying of the
children.
The entire village was wiped out

the people thinking little of the cpl
sode except it furnished more food for
gossip against the young couple.
But early in the morning two days
later, the Assinniboines and Crees In
great numbers attacked the village. The
surprised GroS Ventres vert totally
were killed as they ran for their horses
and weapons.
A Cree warrior Of great ugliness,
made more so because at some previous
time his nos had been cut off, ap-
peared to- lead the attacking party.
-Four times the enemy rushed the vii
lage until men, women and children
where the women and children sought
shelter under the bank and the war
riors stationed themselves on the brow
of a hill to defend them.
The ASSinniboineS and CreeS fought
fiercely, pushing the eros Ventres
steadily back toward the creek. Then
Weasle, who had many brave deeds
and coups to his credit, took from his
arms his brass bracelets, won in battle
from a Sioux warrior, and, crushing
them in his hands made a ball for the
flint lock gun.
Hal" he cried to his companions,
"Old Cut Nose may be a great medi-
cine man who is safe from our weap-
ons but I think this medicine I have
made will finish him."
AS Cut Nose again advanced with
the drummers leading the warriors,
Weasel took careful aim and fired the
gun. The ball struck the Cree in the
chest and he fell dead. At once the
drummers rushed forward beating fur
iously upon their drums in an effort
to cover the CONSERVATION felt by the
loss of the leader.
Weasel saw that the death of the
Cree had stopped them but for a mo-
ment, and that his people were greatly

KENTUCKY'S CAVE MAN

The recent discovery of prehistoric
man, perfectly preserved, in the depths of
Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, may prove to
be one of the most important anthropol-
ogical finds ever brought to light, accord
ing to the Louisville Courier Journal, which
states that not only the body, but the cloth
ing and tools of the man were preserved in
the cool, dry air of the great cave.
This ancient man, who lived perhaps
several thousand years ago, was evidently
a miner, who was crushed to death by a
falling boulder under which his body was
found, and is believed to have been en-
gagged in chipping gypsum crystals off the
wall of the cave when disaster overlook
him. His clothing was woven from fibers
which appear to be the inner bark of a
tree.
Scientists have been sent by the gov
eminent to investigate the find and make
further explorations. in the hope that the
