Sitka Charley i:ad achieved the un- j possible. ?>ther Indians might have j Known as much of the wisdom of the j trail as did he. hut he alone knew the j white man's wisdom, the honor of th?- I trail, and the law. lint these things did j not come to him in a day. The aborigl- i nal mind is slow to generalise. and j many farts, repeated often, are required | to compass an understanding Sitka. Charley, from boyhood, had been thrown ; continually with white men. and a.s a , man he had elected to east his fortunes with -them, expatriating himself, once I and for all. from his own people. Kven i then, respecting. almost venerating j t-helr power, and pondering over k, h* had yet to divine its sei-rer 'essence ? i the honor and the taw. And it was only by the cumulative evidence of years 1 that he had finally voirte to understand Being an alien, when he did know he I knew it better than the white man him self: being an Indian, he had achieved the impossible. ?. And of th'^se things bad been bred a Certain contempt for his own people ? a ? Contempt which li^ had made it a cus >fibm to conceal, but which now burst '?>rth In polyglot whirlwind of curses Upon the heads of Kah-i'hucte and Qowhee. They cringed before him like a fracft of snarling wolf-dogs, to cmvard 'jy .to spring, too wolfish to cover their ;ljing3. They were not handsome crea :<^res. Neither was Sitka Charley. All ?ikree wer e frightful-looking. There no flesh on th-lr faces: their cheek bones were massed with hideous scabs .Which had cra'-ked nun frozen alter : fiat el y under the intense frost; while ? their eye# burned luridly with the light ytilch Is borti of desperation and hun g?r. Men so situated., beyond the pale ;?rf the honor and the law. are not to he 'trusted. Sitka <"harley knew this: and 1 v' th?m to [trustee. this was why he had forced them to .abandon their riflea with the rest or (the camp outfit ten days before. His ?lift* and C*t*tairi Kppingwell's were the ? only ones that remained. ?**"Come. get a fire started." he com ? Trended, drawing out the precious match (hpx with Its att'-ndant strips of dry ^hirch bark. ' ' The two Indian* '"'?ll sullenly fo the of gathering dead branches and ltJ?derwe>o'i Th? were weak. arid ?jjauaed often. cat<hing themselves, in tjfc# act of stooping with giddy motions. }<ip Staggering in the eer-tre of opera Hhbs ?with their knees Hhakini: like cas ?MMta After ca"h trip ihey rested for j?moa?nt. as though sick and deadly Hiiary. At times th^ir eves took on the rj)?ti?nt stoicism of dumb suffering: and .ajfain the ego "seemed almost bursting itorth with Its wild cry. "I. I. want to .?Slat'" ? the dominant nott> of the whoio ,-Jtving universe. ' light breath of air blew from the aouth, nipping the cfposed portions ..f ?their bodies and driving the frost. In ?needles of fire, through fur and flesh to Itfce bon?S So. When fS-e f;.-? h'?'l Kion :i tlus'v and thawed a d.itnp cire'.. :r t h? *nox about It, Sitka Charley forced ins reluctant comrades to lend a hand in pitching a fly. it was a primitive af fair ? merely a blanket, stretched paral lel with the fire an>l to windward of it, at an .ingle of perhaps forty-five de grees This shut out the chili wind, and threw the heat ba-'kwad and down upon those who to huddle in its shelter. Then a layer- of green s]>ruce boughs was : spread, that ifcieir bodies might not come in contact with the snow. When this task was completed; Kah-Chucte and <:owh?-e proceeded to take care of t tln'ir feet. Their ice-hound moccasins w*re sadly worn by much travel, and the sharp ic*' of the riv?-r jams had cut them [to rags. Th<-ir Siwash socks were simi ? Marly conditioned, and when these hs? ? I I been thawed and removed, the deatl ! white tips or" the' toes, in tiie carious i stages 'of mortification, told their sim ' pie tale of the trail. i Leaving the two to the drying of their | foot-sear. Sitka ' 'iiarley turned bac : over the course he had come. He. too. i had a mighty longing to sit l>y the fire ?and tend his complaining flesh. I>tit t h > I honor and the law forbade. He toileil j painfullly ov#r the frozen field, each 1 step a protest, every muscle in revolt I Several times, where the open water be tween the jams had recently crusteil ; he was forced to miserably accelerate ( his movements as tii.e fragile footing ; swayed and threatened beneath him. In : such places death was quick and easy ! but it was not his desire to endure tic i mo ro , His deepening anxiety vanished a.? [two indtans dragged into view round :i | h>?nd in the river. They staggered ami j panted like men under heavy burdens J yet the ii&cks ort their backs were a i matter of but few .pounds He question* j ed them eagerly; and their replies seem led to relieve him. Me hurried on. ^?exl | came two white men, supporting be I rw??n them a woman. They also be ; haved as though drtinketi. and then limbs shook with weakness llut th* I woman leaned lightly upon them, choos >lng to carry herself forward with her jown strength. At sight of her. a flasli | of joy cast its fleeting light across | Sitka r'hftrley's face. He cherished ;i j very great regard for Mrs. Eppingwell | He had seen many white women, bu! ?this was the first to travel the tras' with htm When Captain Kppingwel' , proposed the hatardous undertaking am; ; made him an offer for his service, h* | had shaken his head gravely; .for it wa> tan unknown journey through the dtsnia j vastnesses of the Northland, and h? ! knew it to be of the kind that try t< i the uttermost the sou is of men Bui ! wh'n he learned that the Captain s wif? i was to accompany them, he had refuse) flatly to have anything further to el. with it Had tt been a woman of hi; own race he would havo harbored ni objections; but these women of iht Southland ? no. no. they were too soft too tender, for such enterprises (To be Continued Wednesday.)
