to the Ww stward and safely located in Da-

vem. He reformed and became as a brand

patched from the burning. No Heart's fermiation was fona fide.

an ival ran a little news;ojer in Fatr- hanks, a! alsthe ttomm land whereon No

fart and ccrtain of his wives lived was ‘ust across the river. It was very handy for No Meart, and he used to devote most ef his time to talking to Percival about the improvement of the Indian race.

‘**) am going to save the Indian racc,”’ wid No licart to Peretval, ‘‘Iam going te make it like the white. Why should the Indian freeze and starve and wear espe- gally freazy rags while the white man |

brass band?’ He said this partly in Indi- anand partly in English, for it was one ct his earnest uomen;nts,

Percital warned him. An Indian is ab Indian, he told him, and it is no use try- ing to make him anything clse. No Heart was firm, however, and he set out straight- way to bring about an improvement in the affairs of his race. He had a snug amount of money, so he was well equipped to awing his scheme. He went to the tailor in Fairbanks and caused a most marvelous suit of clothes to be made for him—broad- cloth, silk lined; patent leather shoes, a high hat, a shirt of dazzling whiteness.

“When I appeur in this. before the Tw« Kettle band,’’ he told Percival in his mix- ture of English and Sioux, ‘it will cause emulation. In three weeks I expect there will not be any more Indians wearing ‘G strings’ and blankets. What pay ought an Indian to get as clerk in a drug store?’

Thus garbed in all the glory of Solomon he went across the river to the camp of the Two Kettle band. He was gone three days and reappeared in Percival’s office clad in about 4 certs’ worth of buckskin and cotton, Percival asked about his clonhes.

“It is a great suceess,’’ said the reform- cr. ‘To instill that feeling of self respect which good apparel brings’’—~you undcr- stand, most of his words were of Sioux manufacture, but that is what they meant—‘I lent it to Elk Walks Away, a noted and vehement drunkard, whose hab- its need correcting sadly. It made a new man of him, did my broadcloth suit, but to my regret in the evening he soid it to Lacy at the trading: post for a gallon of eo- logne, and he drank the cologne for the alcohol that ts in it. and for ¢htes days he has been the most musrnificent, sweet smell- ing sort of a drunken beast known to the ‘S'wo Kettle band.

“I shall proceed now to the second course,’ said No Heart. ‘‘I’m not discour- aged. To inculcate self esteem and a laud- able ambition to be equal to one’s supcri- ors We Inust provide the immediate sur- roundings of those superiors, where- fore’’—

“Hold on there, No Heart; hold on!”’ cried Percival. ‘‘Lord bless you, Injen, you are chattering sround there with a Sioux mixture of verbosity and long words that would drive one into a cyclone cellar for protection. Easy now, easy. Confine yourself to English, and 22 caliber English at that."’

“In short,’’ said No Heart, ‘‘I am going to take over to my camp a sewing ma- chine, a eet of popular authors and a dou- ble seated cutter. Seeimg these, can you understand how my people ean fail to be filed at once with the same ideas as the whites? Percival, how does one proceed to establish a bank’hg business? I think Throws His Hatchet at His Mother ought to be cashier, We shall open next week.”’

Percival looked in awe and wonderment at this remarkable philanthropist and wished him weli. Two hours later No Heart, still clad in buckskin and rags, but driving a pairof dejeeted Indian ponies hitched to a most startling and gaudy sleigh, disappeared toward the frozen riv- er. He carried in the rear seat a sewing machine and about 50 handsomely bound books,

He was mounted on one of the ponies Waen next he appeared at the office of the newspaper. Gentle, patient resighation was depicted upon his face as he quietly moved into the editorial room and seated himself on a keg. He was silent for sever- al minutes, and then, speaking meekly, he said:

“You have perhaps heard that Throws His Hatchet at His Mother, who was to have been cashier of the bank, erroneously mistaking the cutter for a new kind of folding bed, lay down in if to smoke him- seif to sleep. We buried some of Throws His Hatchet a: His Mother, but’ there was hot cnough ashes leftof the cutter to men- am it inordinary conversation. ‘The books I distributed among the Two Kettle band, end I was called upon today by « deputa- tion, who, representing that the books had made cnermously successful fucl, request- ed that I get more, My squaws, I regres Sas a fool. "They suk the sev icant te coo _ a hole in the ice and ha 1€ Fiver, for it was, they said, accursed.”’

ne day in the summer No Heart ap- Peared before Percival and madea final stport.

; “The man at the bank,’’ he remarked, “ys imy money is all drawn out. It is Very fortunate. I had intended to buy a banjo, ® roll top desk and a gas stove, witch I am sure would at last have ee complete civilization to my peo- a, r am thwarted’’—in Sioux, of a and am fain to give up my en- “Prise, Percival, you have always been a 860d friend to me and my race, Will you especially noble now?"’ eeetval said he would, said.
