When the first wound was finished all he said was ' 'I)o you think I could rest a mln uto. Doc, before you do the second .1110?" "Iled, raw. wet flesh" American flesh. It war not yollow.

Cveu with nil the glfta they bail Khowered uhui them they wer not luitipy. but kept lliliiklug all the time of the one thing which they still want ed, Instead of enjoying the many gifts which were already theirs. All lire was then In the sun, ami they could think of no way to get It. Men could not rood i It In any way, ami no bird on rod to go after It. Finally tho swallows, who could (ly more swirtiy limn any or the other bird, offereil to go to the sun so far away aud bring this gift to men. Vho swallow's tuick Is still blaek. but no one ever irbsl to get lire from the sun tigalii thut way. Long years afterward men learuiHl how to make lire by rubbing sticks together.
