Greedily he loaded himself with tin
booty and laboriously climbed to the
rim of the bowl prepared for the des
cent of the mountain. The otters,
oufflng In concert, plunged again Into
the lake, which at once disappeared
under a black cloud. .
Straightway a terrible storm arose
through which the voice of Tamanou
screamed taunt'ngly. Blackness clos
ed around him. The din was horrible.
Terrified, he threw back into the bowl
behind him five strings of hiaqua t
propitiate Tamanous, and there fol
lowed a- momentary lull, dur;.-- whlc
he started homeward. But Immedl
ately the atorm burst again with roar

Nothing could be done but throw

sacrifice came another lull, followed
, In turn by more terrible outbreaks and
iso string by string, he parted with

He was shockingly stiff and every
movement pained him. But he man
aged to gather and smoke some dry
arbutus-leavea and eat of few camas-
hulbs. He was astonished to find his
hair very long and. matted, and him
e!f bent and feeble. "Tamanous,"
he muttered. Neverthless. he was
calm and happy. Strangely he did not
regret his lost strings of hiaqua. Fear
was gone and his heart was filled
with love. .
Slowly and painfully he made his
way home. :' Everything was strang

Cedars under whose shade he used to
sleep lay rotting on the ground.
Where h's lodge had stood now he saw

though her wrinkles, had a look that
seemed strangely familiar to him. Her
shoulders were hung thick with hiaqua
strings. , She bent over a pot of boiling
salmon and crooned.

To salmon pot and me?"
"He has come down." quavered the
returned traveller, at last recognizing
his wife.
He asked no questions. Charging
it all to the wrath of Tamanous, he
accepted fate as he found it. After
all, It was a happy fate enough in the
end, for the old man became the
Great Medicine-Man of his tribe by
whom he was greatly revered.

VOCATIONAL BOARD HAS
5000 MEN IN SCHOOL;
WERE INJURED IN ARMY
Washington, D. C. The Federal

ink two courses, one to Improve their
cultural education and the other to
equip them for paying occupations and
professions. About fifteen per cent of
these men are taking courses in agri
culture. It was necessary for many of
the wounded men to learn new trades
or professions. Another fifteen per
cent are taking- professional courses
and about twenty-five per cent are
taking commercial courses. About
thirty per cent of the men are learning
some trade or Industry. -.
These men. who are either par
tially incapacitated or wholly unable
to earn a living. In ordinary trades are
receiving first consideration by the
Government. The agents of the Vo
cational Board meet the men where
ever they find them, In barracks. In
the hospitals, and In the army trade
shops, and provide each ' with the
means- of learning the trade or occu
pation for which he has the fitness
