STORIES pP FUR AND FUR TRAPPING Trading Posts in the Old Days In the early days of American settlement. In the , very heart of the wilderness, hundreds of miles from another trading center, stood the wooden stockade which was the outpost of the dealer in furs. Here he Hred through the dead of winter when snowdrifts mount ed to his tiny windows and higher, his only associates the Indians, who came from their forest homes laden with hides and buffalo skins and eagerly traded a pack of 50 or 100 forthright colored glass beads or the magical "fire water" the paleface offered.' ' ; Some of the transactions which took place In these dimly lighted, fur-laden : strongholds i are .stains on the honor of the "square deal ing" white man. the natives giv ing in return for trinkets costing hut a few cents furs . that could be sold for large amounts of money when the. trader carried them back to civilization in the summer. i ; , Fur Foifs nuilt Many of the leading cities of Canada and ' the United K States started as fur centers of the Hud son Bay company, or were the fur forts" of John' Jacob Astor and other of the famous pioneers in the great Industry.

This is true. Where every body is as good, as everybody else. and everybody does his own think ing there is bound to. be constant friction and j constant trouble. However, lf I we learn . to think straight we can minimize r that trouble.T America has 1 suffered loss from the .ambition of Its peo- nlo than any other country In the world. We fight just as bard for our principles bat wet fight fair. thought of cotton or molasses. De troit, St. Louis. Louisville and oth ers began as fur markets composed of a few rough cabins where pelts might be exchanged and stored. Nieuw Amsterdam, which is now of course. New York, was the cen ter of Dutch' trading in ' early times. Its merchants sent furs by the shipload back to Holland and grew rich from the profits. Fnrs were sometimes used in place of money. ' ' -' Furs Used for Rent When King Charles II of Eng land obtained possession of the district! which, now comprises New York and all of New England, he gave his brother, the Duke of York, (he privilege of governing It for the rental sum of 60 beaver skins a! year. , The Lewis and Clark expedition opened the Northwest to settlers, who rushed in to establish them selves as fur dealers. So feverish was thechase for; furs that It is said the first American flag to be raised on the soil of Alaska after Its purchase by the jUnited States was planted by a seal trapper, who reached the land ahead of the gov ernment representatives.

I THE SHORT STORY, JR. I i . THE STORY OF IXVER LEAP In the valley mas heard a weird wail Of a maiden who fallowed the trail Of her lover so brave - Tliough it led to her grave , So runs the old Indian tale. i The hikers emerged '. from the needle carpet of the old Indian Trail to find an open space that ended in a flat table rock extend ing over the valley below.' j The boys dropped their kits, and as twilight fell, they built a roaring fire on the, rock and made coffee and, roasted steak. ' As they sat in a circle on the great rock, . munching buns and pickles, Frank leaned out Over the edge and peered far belowV "There Is a road down there !" he ex claimed. 'You can hardly see it uv the dark." ; ' J "When the moon comes rip you can see it plainly," replied the hiking leader. "And then you will hear the voice of a dead Indian maiden calling to the spirit of her Indian bridegroom." ! J . :" The boys shivered, " and Frank drew back cautiously, as If he were afraid of slipping .over the precipice. "Tell us about, it." they begged. - . - f 'There was once an Indian brave,", began the leader,; "who lived 'here In this country. He wished to marry the daughter of the chief of the tribe. The old chief jsaid he might marry his daughter only on the condition that the youth would rid the na-j tion of the enemy chief who sent warriors to rob and murder the people; here. SoJ the Indian . lad stole lb the neighboring nation and killed the chief. The followers of the dead man were too cowardly to make war on the people here, but they , pledged themselves ,to vengeance, and a band of them took refuge In : these woods to wait an opportunity at the' young man's; life. , . "One evening as the Indian prln- cess was walking here in the twi- light she spied the band of' ene mies making for the pass at the end of the trail below. She knew her lover would son be. passing on the road and would be met by the band and killed. It was' two miles around by the road and she would not have time to catch. him and warn him. So she crept to the edgefl of the rock; here and waited la the moonlight. She spied .'the enemies creeping into the mouth of the pass, in a lew minutes she saw the Indian boy come down the path below." - "What did she do?" whispered the boys. t " "She leaped from the rock and fell those hundreds of feet, and with her dying breath, warned her bridegroom that his enemies wait ed for him!" asWed Frank in an awed voice. ' "i-Listenl"' replied the story' tel ler. Up the valley swept the wind and from the rocks opposite came a .piercing cry. Then there was a deeper cry as the wind rushed out again.- " ". -: -'' : I "It is the scream of the Indian maiden, they say. and her "Indian brave answering." j 'Then it must be true," declared the boys with round eyes. " Why Bess Dean Protested. She stooped and lifted one' of the girl's feet from the floor of the car, propped It on a footstool which I had provided for Lillian's use, untied the strings of the sneaker and attempted to pull it off. Bess Dean protested feebly at the lifting of her foot, but at the pulling of the sneaker, she gave a sharp little cry. "I was afraid of this," Lillian aid. "That knife, Madge open, please." , ; " I handed her the knife, and very carefully she began to slit the cloth at the s'-de of the shoe. Bess Dean made no further pro test, having patiently reached the limit of her endurance, but she gave a sigh of relief when the shoe came off, and another when Lil lian removed the second sneaker, after having I been compelled to cut it also. "Now for the stockings,". Lil lian said. . " i ,,. "Will you have to c ut them, too?" Bess Dean asked, dismayed; though she had made no objection to the cutting of my shoes, and I guessed that she had put on her best pair of silken hose for the ex pedition. . A "It won't make any difference," Lillian iretorted practically. "They're in ribbons already," and a furtive glance of my own con firmed her statement. Great holes gaped through the filmya texture of the stockings, through which the swollen and chafed feet strained as If burst ing. Truly, Bess Dean had paid dearly for her petty vanity about the size of her feet-as. compared to mine, and I felt a sharp sting of conscience, knowing that I was partly responsible, for her plight. I had yielded only tod readily if not gladly to Dicky's ; ; demand that I give her the exact pair of sneakers for which she had asked, my 'own, instead, of the extra, larger pair I had in my trunk.

CHAPTER 19 THE WAY LILLIAN ''RESCUED" - ; BESS DEAN : Bess Dean was a pitiful looking specimen of femininity, indeed, as with Dicky on one side, and TedLroue of the Cosgrove twins- on the other, she tottered to the side of the car, and was hoisted there is no other word describes 1-- the j movement, for she could not climb and mutely refused to be lifted into the tonneau.
