But when the Bed Man was created and Imd lived for years in tlie peace ful valley th>- Manitou found that lie was too strong ami too brave and that he hud been created too much In the linage of the Maker of us uli. So he decided Jhat it would not do for the Red Man to live loo long, else he would become us wise and us great us Manitou himself. } So one day the Manitou appeared to his daughter, the mother of the Red Man, and to her he told his fears. And ns a remedy he suggested that the Red Man lie allowed to live only for un allotted spun of years, nnd that then lie 1« supplunted by Ids children and Ills children's children until time ended. But first he thought lie would give the Beil Man a chauee to determine how he was to live. And so. In com pany with his «laughter he went to the valley, where lived the Chosen People, and he called forth the wisest nnd old est chief of them all to be the judge. his one hand he took a buffalo and In the other a stone and the chief and his «laughter lie went to the bank of the stream to make the test. First he tossed the buffalo chip into the streum and the chin limited for awhile until it struck the rapids and then It submerged for a little wuy and ngaln it floated and again it sale merged, until finally It disappeared from sight around a bend in the stream. And so the Manitou ruled that the Ited Mun should live for four years and then die and remain dead for four years, following which he would again come to life for a similar perlud. And the old chief win pleased and m-cepted the ruling. But the daughter of Manitou, the mother of all the Ited Men, was not pleased nnd pleaded with her father that some other arrangement might be made. And the Manitou, wlio loved bis daughter dearly, listened to her pleading nnd agreed that there should be one more test made nnd that tlie result of that test should stand for ever, and the method of the test he left to his daughter. She, seeing that the Manitou had not yet thrown the stene, ami thinking that |M-rhaps the stone had some magic unknown except to the Maker <tf «« alt suggested that lie throw the «tone In the water. 'Hie Manitou, taking her at her word, tossed the stone far out Into the stream, ami it fell with a splash Into the water and sank out of sight. And thus was the fate of the Bed Men de cided. The Manitou ruled that each Bed Man should live in tho valley an al lotted span of years, and that then he should die and tils body should perish from tlie earth and should never more come to life In the valley. But In order that the Bed Mon should not be hopeless nnd forlorn lie protniseil thut those of them who kept the faith and praised the Manitou and his good work should live again in the happy hunting ground above the Peak, where there would be no death nnd where there would be no war and no trouble. And so the ruling stood. The Red Men were made mortal, to die when their time canie. but knowing of the promise of Manitou they felt no tear of death. And so It Is today. We nil must die. but living well, we live again In that great hunting ground, where all Is happiness nnd peace.
