He watched the blood getting thick on one side
of the container while the other half remained
more liquid
Carefully, he then hid away the bowl and arose
His wife hurried to hand him his gun. He slowly
slipped into his parka and left the tent.
My dogs started bowling, but Pelcutagen did
not pause l followed him he went toward the
frozen surface of Lake Chibougamau
Then he stopped and shouted. He stood rigid,
his finger the trigger of his gun. The whistling
sound of a shot shrieked through the night.
When we returned to the tent Pecutagen was
suddenly his hospitable old self again.
We had almost lavish dinner of roast beaver,
and afterwards he showed me unusually rich
harvest Of fresh mink and otter skins he had
trapped during the last few days. When the dogs
were fed and the smoke Of our pipes rose in blue
rings TO the top opening of the tent, Pelcutagen
told me Of the strange things he had done lust
when / entered his tent
1T dream he explained. 81 was told to
do as did. That's how you kill man, even if he
is miles away. If l had allowed all of the blood to
boil he would be dead by now But don't want
him to die just yet He shall leave me alone. The
shot must have hit him right over his heart >"

white mans religion during the easy time of the
Summer, but knew that he would fall back upon
the ancient beliefs as the hardships Of
Winter began to threaten the very life of the
hunters on their ancestral hunting grounds.
Utsh and Saiko greeted me with dignity. Saikol
was busy cutting beams of black pine, birch and
tamerack, six in all, each post about eight feet
high.
It was obvious to me what he going to

and his wife breathed heavily in their sleep motion
less like tired animals / alone was aware of the
night outside and of the Northern Lights which
do not only influence Indian souls but also cause
strange miracles in white mems dreams Stories
and events which sound like picturesque inventions
Northern Lights said my white mans intellect
ARE simple to explain. They are caused by earth
magnetism whose electric rays are attracted by
the sun
But my Indian experience answered: Forget
the nonsense of the civilzers You know that any
creature sleeping under the Northern Lights is

Of wizards. L remembered where vas Near

again the steep, cone-shaped mountain the Indians
call "Conjurer's Mountain: "cooshapachiken

Spirits and dwarfs dwell there; matte manitu,"
the red mans devil, and the "Wi'-tigo," who
frightens children.
The man who hopes for good hunting will do
well not to climb that mountain: the mink and the
beaver might shun his traps, and the black bear
will never come before his gun No man would
dare camp upon those slopes, for dreams are heavy
there, fraught with ill-hap and filled with the
battles of ghosts Sleep eludes man
But had not tried to climb it. l had nothing

Winter home of the Sake family
Where's Father was my first question.
Father? He is with Utish" answered Saikos
wife. She sent her children away took me to the
tent and told me the neWs-news that made her
tremble with fear and anxiety
II know she began, that you are Saiko's and
Utishs friend, and that you understand the ways
of the Indian people"
In silence listened to her story and found out
what had happened.
Two weeks ago thief had robbed the trap line
Of the Saiko's the all important and only means
of feeding an Indian family. And that thief an
Indian himself had not only taken the precious
traps, but also had bagged large amount of mink,
otter and even beaver as the footprints in the
snow betrayed.
An Indian who commits such crime is worse
than murderer, because he consciously dooms a
whole family
In desperate hunger the Saikos had already
been forced to start eating the precious skins of
their hunted furs which contained some lard and
grease, and they all would probably be dead by
now if some lumberjacks hadn't passed their tent
and furnished them some supplies.
But who, in Heavens name" said / would be
able TO do that to you? Stealing your traps with

concerned about my presence I felt l was not
exactly welcome and that only the sacred tradition
of hospitality prevented Pelcutagen and his wife
from sending me back out into the snow.
Suddenly, Pelcutagen began chanting in a low
monotonous voice. The womans eyes, wide open
wandered IN her husbands direction His hands
moved calmly as if detached from his body-and
somehow felt that l had interrupted them in the

there was the wifes hand holding round small

The birch-bark bowl was slowly filled with
blood. The wife took 1t and set it aside Then she
laid few dried leaves on her husbands wrist, and
the bleeding stopped Immediately after she had
tied the leaves to the skin with a caribou leather
string.
Nobody spoke.
Pelcutagen still chanted his monotonous song.
He fetched the vessel with its red contents and

United Steel Works 6l2s, Rheln-
Westphalia IS and Berlin City Elec-
trtc 612s. German government 512s
and Is were off fraCtionally.
Leaning backward for minor
losses among domestic corporates
were International Telephone SIS,
Erie SIS, Continental Oil 2a4 S, Rock
Island general Is, Allegheny stamp
ed SIS, North Western AIS, Southern
Railway Is and Nickel Plate 512S.
Moving against the trend for gains
of fractions to point or more were,

Walworth As and San Antonio &
Arkansas Railway as.
