some weapon. Scissors quieted him
and opened the flap and peered out.
He motioned for Dlnsdale to Join him,
and whispered :
"Some ceremony of the Strong
Hearts. I can see their banner.”
Dlnsdale was not assured, for the
first part of the spectacle he ob­
served consisted of two men with
bows and arrows.
Behind them
walked two braves, each vigorously
shaking a gonrd rattle. Ahead of the
quartette walked two girls; one car­
rying a pipe and the other a Strong
Heart banner. The purpose of the
bowmen was soon revealed, and Dlns­
dale lost his fear. One of the men
suddenly raised his bow and sent an
arrow through a dog. His companion
shot another; and the rattles were
shaken loudly to signalize their marks­
manship.
A woman ran from a lodge and took
both dogs Inside. The little proces­
sion disappeared behind a lodge and
presumably killed more dogs, as there
come further spasmodic rattling.
After
some fifteen
minutes the
men and the two
young girls
come In sight of the prisoners' lodge
and walked toward It. The bows were
unstrung, the rattles sounded only at
regular Intervals.
The four men
chanted :
‘Friends, whoever runs away shall
not be admitted.”
"Strong Hearts, all right. They’ve
been shooting their breakfast. Food
enough without killing dogs, but they
are trying to teach the village folks
self control. They won’t shoot a dog.
If the owner comes out and makes a
fuss," explained Scissors, who was
now cutting a piece of paper. "They
reckon It makes a man's heart strong
to see his d<>s killed without making
row about It. There comes the wom­
an who owned the two pups we saw
shot. Site showed her self-control by
taking the dogs Inside and singeing
them. Now she's carrying them to the
society’s lodge where they’ll be cooked
and eaten. In the old days there
might be as many as four Strong
Heart lodges In one village; and It
took some dogs to keep them all
going."
As the Strong Hearts proudly
stalked by the prisoners' lodge. Scis­
sors leaned through the opening and
thruat his picture Into the hand of
a bowman. It was an excellent out­
line of a brave In the act of releasing
an arrow, and the low grunt Of the re­
cipient testified to his appreciation of
It.
"Always could do It," mused Scis­
sors proudly. "I'm wnkan. Pictures

“I f It'll cheer the devils any please
give them a bushel," was Dlnsdale's
disconsolate rejoinder. "Sctssors, I'm
losing my nerve; and I never lost It
before, it Isn’t death); It’s the way
they have with their -d—d skinning
khlves. I ’m always renumbering that
story about the fellow skinned alive
and Rawhide creek named after Ute
affair."
Tou're borrowing trouble,” rebuked
Scissors. “The fellow you mention
suffered enough without you suffering
any over It. Almost any morning tbe
dogs In this village see sotne of their
canine friends shot. Do they worry
and brood over whajt may happen to
them? Two are out Çtqere playing now.

1 gilded bablnd the lodges and near
enough to watch them.
Scissors began cutting pictures of
dogs und children, making them ex­
ceedingly whimsical, and beckoned for
the sullen youngsters to approach and
receive them as gifts. At first the
children Imitated the baleful hostility
of the medicine man and lowered at
the smiling picture man with Juvenile
ferocity. Gradually curiosity got the
better of racial resentment, and one
bold urchin counted coup by dashing
In and snatching u picture. A fter that
there was much scrambling for the pic­
tures, and as fast as one was secured
It was taken to a lodge to display to
the equally curloua parents. Some one
decided the grotesque outlines were
medicine, at least good-luck tokens,
and one was pinned on the outside of
a lodge. The word was quickly passed,
and In a very short time a dozen or
more lod«e» were thu" decorated.
With rapidly rising anger did Sorrel
Horse observe this homage to the
white medicine. Striding up to an of­
fending lodge he tore off the picture
and scattered It on the ground and
harshly rebuked tbe Inmates for hav­
ing anything to do with a white medi­
cine. His voice carried far, and dusky
arms were thrust from the ether
lodges to remove the pictures.
“He hasn't any right to do that,"
gravely decided Scissors. “I must teach
him a lesson. Let's get away from the
lodges where I can thlok a bit."
They returned to the slope and
walked down to the river.
Their
guards followed, but kept a distance.
They seated themselves on the bank
of the stream. A slip of a girl stole
down to the stream and filled an
earthenware Jug to overflowing. She
had not discovered them and paused
for a minute to dabble her feet la the
water. The Jug was decorated with a
red snake, showing the owner had
dreamed of wolves and had learned
from them how to locate game.
Shuaca-luta carried the bent stick ol
a Wolf-drsamer.
' At last the girl decided she had

and scrambled from the water and
