Like an gamblers. instead OF
knowing when he was through,
Red Arrow hesitated. frowning
and staring at the fire. started
to speak, hesitated again, then
obviously with a great effort
said
No! No. I will not Iisk my
children's food In this game.
Charboneau laughed as he
said:
You are foolish. It is your
time 10 win, but If you are
afraid I will stil give you a
chance TO bet and be sure OF

white man is wicked. Do not
bet with him. You will surely
lose as you have been doing all
night. Oh, Red Arrow. oh,
great chief, do not gamble US
away TO this wicked white
man"
But Red Arrow, now the
gambler and just as silly az
many of his white brothers Of
this generation, paid no atten-
ton to them.
The game was one known
As hide the bone" 1t was
played with two bones, one
white and one black. The
bones were juggled in the
hands OF one player while
the other guessed in which
hand the black bone was
held.
Red Arrow shook the bones
in his cupped hands again and
again. Weaving his body back
and forth he held his hands
above his head turning and
twisting the bones from one
hand to the other. Suddenly the
singing stopped and he held the
two hands toward Charboneau
waving them slowly before him.
Charboneau looked at the
two hands moment. then
stared hard into Red Ar
rows eyes, then pointed to
the left hand. Slowly Red
Arrow opened it and there
was the black bone.
That is not right" shouted
Red Arrow. Il will bet again,

against the two women will

Charboneau laughed exult.

Red Arrow Plays Hide
The Bone"
Takes Gamblers Chance
And Loses Two Women
Sly French Canadian
Reads His Mind
Story Of Saeaiawea
Thrilling
WHAT appeared in this col
w umn yesterday concerning
Lewis and Clark and their guide.
the Indian woman, Sacalawes,
was intended merely as an in
cidental sidelight on some of the
circumstances which led up to
the creation of the state of
Washington. The matter would
have been dropped there but for
the discovery of personal rem
iniscences by Sacajawea of
most interesting character.
While they do not hear
directly on the history of
Washington, they reveal
something of the character
of the people and times out
of which came the occasion
for the celebration of the
states golden jubilee next
July. And the story is so
interesting that its review
is justified.
SacaJawea and several young
women companions were cap
tured by the Mandan Indians in
a raid on the camp of the Sho-
shones or Snake Indians as they
were sometimes known. One
OF them, known as Otter
Woman, and Sscajawea became
the property of a chief named
Red Arrow. He was a pretty
decent sort of an Indian with
enough wives 30 that none of
them were overworked. They
were friendly and the two cap
tives soon became accustomed
to their surroundings and were
as happy as they could be away
from their own people.
Red Arrow had one fault
common to many Indians. He
was a gambler but not a very
successful one. One night there
came to his tent several Indians
and the French Canadian trap
per known as Charboneau. They
had been gambling all night. AS
usual Red Arrow was on the
losing end. About daylight he
announced that he was going
to quit as he had nothing left
to bet. Just then SAGA jawea
and Otter Woman who were
sleeping near by. awoke, and
heard Charboneau trying to per-
suade him to stay in the game.
You have plenty more to
bet" Charboneau said. Your
spotted buffalo runner is a good
horse but my black runner is
faster. l will bet my black
against your spotted horse
Red Arrow thought for a mo-
ment before replying and said:
No, 1 will not bet that
horse. He is my meat get
ter. II l should lose him
my women and children
would go hungry"
But you may win" urged
Charboneau, who coveted the
spotted buffalo horse and was
very sure that Red Arrow would
lose. You have been losing all
night. noW IL iS tipoa for ~,

A light-hearted story from the pen of Claude Binyon. the news paperman who wrote T Met Him in Paris" and True Confession brilliant performance by cast of experts, headed by Bing Crosby and Fred MacMurray, and sparkling collection of new songs combine to make first-rate entertainment of Paramount's comedy, Sing You Sinners" which has it's local pre- miere Sunday at the Coliseum The atre.

 Outstanding performances are turned in by two of the screens newest star discoveries, Ellen Drew and Donald O'Connor. Cast in the role of MacMurray's devoted if ancee, Miss Drew exhibits fresh ness and sincerity which should certainly carry her to the top of the ladder in Hollywood. O'Connor, who plays Bing's younger brother and jockey, coming to the screen after years on the vaudeville stage, can act, sing. play an accordian and ride a racehorse with equal ability.
 Playing tonight for the last times is The Arkansas Traveller" starring Bob Burns.
