They did not tell what she thought; they were like bTdly colored beads Her tongue did not know how in give expression to sentiment, her poor old heart tugged tWaml strnlued nt Its lashings and hurt her, but she was used to pain.

She would like her boy to have a name." no took his bow and tils knife and bis tenderly feathered arrows and held them In his arms as a lover fondles the roses tic takes to his ladylove.

All night lie traveled, his feet crush lug eagerly through the bunch ginss and tlie slltcrcd wolf willow.

I, Ike a general he waited and strung his bow taut as a musician keys up his harp. "They will come to the horses," he thought, "some of them, for I must hate scalp- as well as ponies." Ills heart grew warm as he thought of what It meant for the unkum. With a mime us a brave he would take part In the hunt, and a share of the buffalo would fall to the lot of his mother She would always have plenty to eat. Something gorgeous caught his eye. It was a medicine mail In all the gran deur of his barbaric splendor.

He took nn arrow from his quiver held It up toward the ifist and let tin sunlight kiss Its V shaped head Then he placed It lo Ills heart Thai was that It might go with unerring aim to the heart of the medicine man. Then he knelt reverently and klsed the earth. The steel nerved arm drew the bott string until the arrow head came back against tlie hand that grasped the how The medicine man was standing In front of his red streaked bush, his I'p mutterlug an Incuututlou to the par ticular spirit he was having dealings with.

Tho Jagged head of the arrow tore a glmstli ,iulo Just ttheie a streak of yellow beads cut through a body ground of blue, almost In the center of the strong chest of the Ulackfoot priest. Never a sound he gave only a little Imarsc gurgle as he fell forward In a crumpled heap and writhed over on bin back, where be lay staring up at tho smiling sky. The boy's brain surged hot with a Idoodlikc fury. He rushed from his con rcalment and pulled the feather of an other arrow to his car as the dead Itlackfoot's companion faced him. It. too, found a mark, but only through the shoulder, and, too eager for further combat of this tort, be and the brave drew their knives and closed In Uku each other.

He felt like rushing upon the whole encampment. He wanted to kill, kill, even If he died killing. He pulled u handful of "sweet grass" and dabbed It In the blood of the medi cine man. He held It aloft and screamed In Ids triumph. Ills high falsetto voice trilled the "HI, hi. 1" of the Cree battle song That was the first sound the enmp heard from the battlefield. He thrust the wet grass In his breast and raced for the horses ns an an swering cry eaine back from among the blue columns of upward curling smoke. In his pack was a little woven horse hair bailor, lie pulled It out as he ran. lie had lived among the ponies ntul dogs In his own camp. Their ways were his ways. Two or three of the kuIcs were hob bled as sheet anchors to keep the others steady He lore the hobbles off from the chestnut stallion last; then, grasp lug the strong mane, he swung himself on to the eager back and started the herd The Ulackfoot warriors were running from their tepees, but the Cree laughed In victorious glee.

He showed them the scalps and his band of loot. Tho braves pressed about hlui closely and felt his anus and his legs to see where the strength had come from, Suddenly there was a little commo tion. Au opening was made in the crowd, ami the nokum pressed forwnrd to the feet of the tribe's Idol. "My boy, my boy!" She stopped short. Her eyes caught sight of the blood ou Ills breast. "Are you wounded'" She thrust her hand In at the opening of his deerskin shirt and drew It back, clutching a mass of blood stained grass. "No," replied the hoy: "that's Itluck foot blood, iiokuiu." "It's sweet grass!" she cried exult Ingly. holding the well known grass aloft In her hand. Contagiously the others took up the cry. "Swvet grass, sweet grass!"

FACTS ABOUT DOLLS. CAUSE OF THE ORIGIN OF THE WAX AND CHINA VARIETIES. Thrr Were l-'lrsl ('nt In Show OAT .Models of Costly l)rrei unit In (tie Set euleentli Cen(ur- Were What I'nalilon taiier Are Tod nr. The origin of the word doll Is curi ous. Centurlc3 ago, when taints' names were much In voguo for children, St. Dorothea was the most popular, and her name the best nud luckiest that could be given to a little girl. The nickname was Dolly, or Doll, and from giving bubles the nickname It was an easy step to pass It ou to the little Images of which the babies were so fond. The word doll Is not found In com mon use In our language until the middle of the eighteenth century, ntul, as fnr as can be discovered, tlrst ap pears In The Gentleman's Magazine for September, 1751, In the following: "Several dolls with different dresses, made In St. James street, have been sent to the czarina to show tho manner of dressing nt present In fashion among English ladles." Previous to this the word used to describe tho favorite plaything of all girls In nil countries nud lu all ages was "baby," which Is to be found, together with "poppet," or "puppet," In this fteusu In the works of most of the earlier writers. Tho wax and china doll originated In tho middle of the seventeenth cen tury. There were no fashion papers as now, and In ordir to show what was being worn on the continent dolls were beautifully and expensively dressed and sent to tho various European coun tries, nud from the model orders were tnken. The dolls, to show olt their costly garb, must be made of more precious stuff thnn wood, so wax and china and even Ivory ones were made, Thuiingin Is the Innd where most dolls are bom -puppcttnud, ns It Is call ed on this account. About 200 years ngo most of the dolls were made In ITunders, and they were called not dolls, but Plunders' babies. There used to be an old English couplet which ran thus: Tlie clilMrrn of llullinJ tale plexure In inalln What tlie clill'lirn ol r.nglam! ll,i ptrasuic In brcaMni; At one Eiiiopeau doll factory of the present day 100,000 dolls are produced annually, some flOO men, women and children being employed, To make one talking doll requires the Joint labor of 30 men. Dolls' eyes are mode In un derground rooms. Into which the sun light rarely peeps, and violet oibs nie the most dllllcult to color. There Is one town In (icrmaiiy where three fourths of all tho dolls' eyes In the world nro made. Only In the casu of the most expensive dolls Is real human hair used. In n doll factory aru wood carvers, heiidmakers, leg and arm makers, eye makers, portrait artists, hairdressers, doll sewers and doll stuffers; also a small nrniy of fashionable, dressmakers and milliners. The Hindoo child Is probably the only doll-less child In thu world. The little Egyptians have their wooden "Ushabtl," the same In style ns 1 .000 years ago. These were sometimes made of porcelain. When n child died. Its dolls were burled with It, lu the ex pectation that their spirit forms would rise and do service lu nnother world. The paradise of dolls Is Japan, where they are most elaborately and gor geously attired atTalrs. So are the dolls of Kioto "genroku," ns they are call eil. They are often valuable wood cartings, enameled In colors or slntti ettes of great artistic merit. One of the most Interesting collee tions of dolls lu this country Is thai belonging to the bureau of ethnology, Washington. They nre dolls of the Unl Indians of Arizona ami are made from the roots or subterranean branches of the cottonwcod tree, whittled out with knives. They are decorated bright red. yellow, green and leprosetit the gods of the tribe the god of the snow, the god that cats up the ralticlouds, the lire god, the sun god ami the coin goddess The Unl children play with these dolls ns other children do.

The cane nlso, with Ita screw top, begins to he n useful receptacle. Two centuries from now, so tho man with n long foresight can clearly see, tho main Idea underlying tho wearing of clothes will hnve entirely changed.

After gathering h handful I noticed a lurgo bed of plants knee high and of dcllcato form and u beautiful green shnde. I walked to them, broke off n line spray and placed It with the tlowers. To my amazement I snw that I had gathered a withered, shriveled, brown ish weed. I threw It nwny, carefully selected a large, bright green plant and plucked It. Again I had In my hand a bunch of withered leaves. It Hashed through my mind tlmt it sudden attack of l'nnatnn fever, which wns very prevalent nnd much tulked of, hnd struck me delirious. I went "off my head" from fright. In a panic I threw tho Mowers down and was about to run to tho train. I looked around. Nothing seemed Btrnnge. I felt my pulse. All right. I wns In a perspiration, but tho heat would have undo a lizard perspire. Then I noticed that tho plants where I stood seemed shrunken and wilted. Carefully I put my linger ou a fresh brunch.
