The vigilant guardians smoked,
and chatted of their feats in the chase
and on the battlefield, ever and anon
casting angry glances toward the
gentle captives. At length, thinking
the maidens asleep, they gave them
selves up to profound repose. The
prisoners, after hours of fervent
prayer, and by recalling the lessons
of faith the had learned from the
Blackrobe, had succeeded in resign
ing themselves to their awful fate.

That same night the Fathers at
the Jesuit mission were awakened by
loud shouts of the chief of Dakotas,
intermingled with those of some
friendly Cress who accompanied him
and a small detachment of his own
braves.
"What seek ve?" inquired Father
de Smet.
"Great chief of the Blackrobe's."
answered Redfeather." my daugh

»J*t
therefore, what fate awiiits them:"
"What! the two angels of our mis*
sion school? How did it happen?"
"Father, we attacked the Black
feet lying in ambush, but did not con
quer them. Then they fell upon our
camp, and we repulsed them. But
a party of skulking braves captured
my two children."
"O chief, thou art not baptized!
Thy wife and daughters know and
love the great God, but neither thou
nor thy worriors have accepted the
Christian law. What wilt thou there
fore of the Blackrobe?"
"Father, the Great Spirit of the
Blackrobes is all powerful: ask Him
to restore to me my beloved daugh
ters."
"Redfather, what thou sayestis
true: the Great Spirit is all-powerful,
rail of mercy too but He is also just.
He loves not hatred, pillage, and
murder. It was to gratify thy hate
thou didst attack thy brothers the
Blackfeet. Thou would'st slay their
uiaumwu xnouwouiast siay tneir
for thy punishment is just.
"Thy words are like arrows, wise
teacher. I have done wrong."
"Then must thou crave pardon."
"Blackrobe, I do implore forgive
ness. Ask the Great Spirit to give
me back my Snowflake and my Wild
bird, and I promise that I will re
ceive thy Baptism."
"That is not enough. In a few
hours I shall celebrate the august
Sacrifice of Atonement before the
Great Spirit thou must promise to
speak to the chiefs of thy nation,
that all may come and learn the
true prater from the Fathers."
I promise with my whole heart.
What say ye, braves?"
"We accept the will of the Black
gown—we will be Christians."
"And that is not enough," urged
the priest. "Thou must promise
that in future thou wilt not attack
the neighboring tribes without cause,
and—"
"Father the Crows and Blackfeet
do us all the harm they can."
"It matters not. Thou mayest
defend thyself, but never attack.
Still more, thou must forgive. The
Great Spirit is the. Spirit of peace,
and will be deaf to my supplication
thou dost cherish anger in thy in
most heart
"Father, I believe, and we swear
to abide by thy words."
"Chief, I trust thou art sincere—
that no lie lurks in thy heart. May
the Great Spirit be merciful to thee
and grant thy petition!"
In the gray of the early morning
Father de Smet was standing at the
altar, but before beginning the
Holy Sacrifice of the Mass he inform
ed the Rev. Fathers and Brothers of
the danger to which the young
Christian disciples were exposed, and
explained what a loss the lives of
these exemplary maidens would be
to their little mission. He also told
them of Redfeather's solemn promise
to influence^ his nation to embrace
the true Faith. Then all present re
newed their fervent prayers that
God would show His power, and pro
mote his own greater glory by de
livering the captives.
Meantime the two maidens were a
prey to involuntary dread- of the
torments which awaited them. Again
and again they called upon the
Mother of Sorrows to obtain for them
fortitude and perseverance, that they
might die like the martyrs of whom
Blackrobe had told them. Sudden
ly they beheld a youth of radiant
countenance, attired in the festal cos
tume adopted by their own tiibe.
His eyes shone with supernatural
light, and there was something about
him that reassured the stricken doves
even before he spoke. "I come to de
liver you," he said, at the same time
cutting as if by heavenly magic the
strong cords that bound them to the
ine tree. His voice was sweet, and
and he added, "Follow me."
Joyfully the two fugitives followed
their mysterious guide, who walked a
.short distance ahead of them.
"He must be an angel," whispered
Wild-bird "for I feel weary nolonerg,
nor is my heart fearful."'
'•Did we not invoke the Queen of
Angels? She has §ent a messenger
to deliver us out of the hands of our
enemies," answered Snowflake.
"Glory bo to Jesus and Mary!" she
added and Wildbird replied, Amen."
!ow,
On, on their silent conductor led
them, through dftn, deep woods,
by crystal lakes, over flowery mead
ows, up and down hills, until they
reached the broad, beautiful prairie
that divided the land of Dakotas
from the territory of the Blackfeet.
To their surprise the soft soil did
not yield to their tread, nor did the
rose or purple centaury bend its
corollas. Tne birds were singing a
joyous chorus to the Creator—echo
of the gladness that filled those
quick-tlirobbing hearts. Now the
trio attained an eminence, and from
its wood-crowned height they discern
the smoke of the campfires of the
Dakotas.
"Rest here' a while," said their
guide and When they turned to
thank him for his kindness, lo! he
had disappeared.
As soon as the Blackfeet dis
covered the flight ot their captives
they set out in hot pursuit. Vainly
they sought the tracks of their pris
oners. "They and their mother too
worship the Great Spirit of the
Blackrobes," the savages murmured.
"He has delivered them: our Great
Manitou is not powerful enough."
At length, after searching once more
the environs of their camp for the
footprints of the maidens, all de
spairingly gave up the hunt.

In some parts of Africa a man's
wealth is judged by the number of

looked upon as a sort of bonanza

shirts at 40 cents a dozen. In tin's
country a man's wealth is judged by
the nuitiber of dogs he owns. The
possessor of eight dogs is generally

The meat is not fit for salting until
free from animal heat, and yet it
should not be frozen in the least, as
this condition prevents the salt pene
trating it. Coyer the bottom of the
barrel with salt to the depth of three
inches, then pack the strips of pork
in circles, the rind facing the barrel,
but with a deposition of salt inter
vening and a stratum of salt upon
each layer of pork. When the mid
dlings are Baited prepare a brine suf
ficient to well cover the pork, using
all the salt that the water will dis
solve. Bring to the boil, skim, and
when cold pour over the salted pork.
A well-adjusted cover is a necessary
part of a pork barrel.
Trim the hams and rub them over
with Salt, to extract the blood. In
two days apply the following pickle:
One and a half pqunds of salt and a
pound of brown sugar to each gallon
of water, and an ounce of saltpeter
to 100 pounds of meat bring to a
boil, skim, and pour over when cold.
Hams should remain in the pickle
from tour to six weeks. In packing
don't let them press against each
other they are likely to taint at the
bono before becoming thoroughly
salted. Those skilled in the curing
of hams remove them from one bar
rel to another twice a week until the
curing is partially completed, to pre
vent tainting at the bone.
