Also, they go out of fashion. "I fancy these love letters that we hcur so much about urc written to tho men whom the writer has reason to tn.... th.v -n. ill ho welcome. If a matlnoe Idol tells you that he Is In tho habit of receiving such letters, two things are evident: first.

While he Is young, and while the mat inee girl Is young, a kindly and healthy Interest may bo engendered by his noble deeds, his hairbreadth escapes, and his soft nothings. If ono can keep him under a bushel In the daytime, the matinee Idol Is not so bad, after all."

His only daughter was a beautiful maiden called Snow Bird, a girl who was much loved by all the people becauso ot her kind nature. Yet she was very lonely, for her father would never allow her to go about with any friends of her own age. She was dressed In flna skins, richly painted, and tho brightest ot feathers were for. her gowns, but little Snow Bird longed for tomo companion. Ono day when bringing water from tho spring she met a handsome young In dian, who had come from the far South. Ills .kin was a bright red, hi. head crowned by eagle plume., and on his back was a bundle of canes, such as are grown In the warm lands to make sugar. "I know that you are the maid Snow Bird, of whom I have heard so much," he said, "and I have come to ask your father for your hand. I am from tho sunny lowlands, where the sun always shines and snow never falls, but I have traveled long to find your lodge, Snow Bird."

It Is sugar-cane. Perhaps your people may be ublo to grow It and thus secure a great blessing." The old chief roso In anger. "Do you dare ask for the hand of my daughter?" he cried, with flashing eyes. "Never! Oct you back to your flower, and sun shine. For us the snow, and tho vast forests. How dare you bring me such sticks? See, I throw them to the earth to bo trod under the feet of children," and ho scattered tho canes over the ground beneath tho trees. Panther leaped forward and would have struck Black Hear, but Snow Bird stood between the two men. "Go!" he cried. "Go back to your people. But rome again In a year. Perhaps the Great Spirit may bless us then." Black Bear heard her words. "Yes," ho cried with an angry laugh, "come again In a year, and If by then these trees bear sugar, you may have my daughter bs a bride," and Jie van ished within his tent. But Snow Bird gazed sadly after Panther, till his tall form faded from view In the green ot the distant forest, which stretch far, far away to the south, to tho lands where It was always sunshine, and where the flowers always grew. Then slowly she followed her father Into the tent and prepared his evening meal. Yet her thoughts were of tha young In dian treading tha woods to tho south, leaving her behind would ho return in a year, as she had asked?

They ground tho cane softly Into the sod and In the spring Its sweet ness flowed up Into the maple trees In a sweet sap. But no one knew It. A year had passed and Snow Bird be gan to wonder If Panther would re turn. Ono afternoon she started In ha.te to get water from the .prlng. but on her way noticed a sap flowing from a maple tree near tho path, so he filled the bucket and put It on the fire. Presently she heard a noise, and there In the door stood Panther holding out his arms to her. They stood and talked, while the pot on the Are boiled and boiled. Then BUddcnly old Black Bear came down tho path. "Oh, you hero." he cried angrily, "leave! You remember what I said last year." The pot boiled over and Snow Bird ran to lift It from the Are. In doing so she split Borne of Its con tents on her hand and quickly put her hand In " her mouth the stuff tasted sweet and like sugar." "Stop, father!" Bhe cried quickly. "What you wished has come to pass. for tho maples are giving us sugar." Then Bear and Panther tasted of tho delicious syrup, and all the other In dians learned to draw the sweet Juice from the trees. So Bear kept his word and the girl was wedded to Panther in the shade, of the very maple tree from which she had drawn tho first bucket of Its sweet sap.
