leagues all grunted approval.

Just then a great burly Indian pressed through the crowd, and kneeling before the Premier, asked with a leer, to have himself felt that all might see for themselves how thin he was, at which a great shout of laughter arose from the Indians, and no | wonder, for the fellow was as plump as a | partridge.

Crowfoot, resuming, went on to protest | his loyalty to the Great Mother. He said | the Blackfeet had always been loyal, and but the trouble was that bad men came up here and and printed the

| write, and so couldn't refute them. point the old fellow looked hard at one of ‘our party, who was busy taking notes. He

went on to protest his loyalty and desire to

, live in peace with the white men, if only

‘they could get enough to eat. That was the refrain, and it recalled to my mind a story | once heard concerning this same chief, which is too good to be lost.

Some years ago, when it was more diffi- cult to obtain the services of an interpreter than it is now, Colonel ——, of the Mount- ed Police, having occasion to hold a ** pow- wow” with Crowfoot, was obliged to utilize the services of a French half-breed, whose kndwledge of English was exceedingly limited.

The preliminaries having been arranged, Crowfoot with all due solemnity began his oration. Ina half an hour or so the Col- onel turned towards the interpreter to know wat it allineant. ‘* He say he dam glad to see you!” responded the half-breed.

Crowfoot then resumed his speech, and continued with much action and many | words at interminable length. Taking ad- ; Vantage of a temporary lull, the Colonel

again looked enqwiringly towards his inter- |preter. ‘* He say he dam hungry,” was the ' concise interpretation. I have no reason to doubt that the inter- ‘preter executed his office with great fidelity,

’ ! j

for although on the occasion at which I was)

' present Billy Gladstone, with sumething of \that wealth of expression which distin- ‘guishes another of his name, employed a ‘greater number of words in his rendering Crowfoot’s speech into English, the sub- {stance thereof amounted to little nore than lis conveyed in the half-breed’s version of the chief's earlier discourse.

However to return. The Premier replied |suitably; and then told Crowfoot that he | had heard of his sorrow, and grieved with

him, but now the time for mourning had passed, and he’ hoped he would forget all that had happened. He then presented him with a suit of clothes and a pipe, the bowl of which was supported by a crow’s foot, the appropriateness of which the old chap was quick tosee. The other chiefs were then presented with pipes, tea and tubacco. Each man received his present in perfect silence, not one of them evincing the slightest sign of gratitude, though they ‘were all mightily pleased. It seems they have no word for thanks, or any expression 'of the idea, in their language.

After the chiefs had received their pre- | sents the council broke up. We were then }

’

invited to witness a sham battle, but before going turther I must not forget to speak of Mrs. Crowfoot. Among the Blackfeet, ladies have no rank; and Mrs, ©. accord- ‘ingly mingled with the crowd during the 'pow-wow. After it was over she modestly | came forward and received from ‘her lord ‘his bundle of new clothes and other pre- 'sents, including the pipe, assuming the | burden as a matter of course. Crowfoot, I |may say here, isa man of medium size, ‘about 55 years old. His features are of ‘rather delicate mould, unlke the other Indians of his tribe. His nose is aquiline, his lips thin and compressed, his eyes bright, denoting a keen intelligence. His _ better half is a rather nice looking squaw, ‘with nothing remarkable about her. She i had a history, nevertheless, connected with which I was privileged to hear a thrilling episode,

Years ago a war party of Cree Indians, be- tween whom and the Blackfeet an heredi- tary feud had long existed, surprised a camp of the latter, and killed and captured many. Among the prisoners was the future Mrs. Crowfoot—her maiden name has escaped me. The Cree Chief selected her as his property, and ou starting for their homeward journey he ordered her to mount behind him. He had previously stripped her of all weapons, and being armed to the teeth himself, anticipated no difficulty in bearing away his fair prize. She obeyed his command, and getting up behind him the pair rode off. The gallant lago had, however, forgotten one little circumstance, of which the woman was quick to take advantage. His bowie knife hung in his girdle behind him within her grasp. They had not gone fifty yards when, quick as thought, she drew the knife from its sheath. It flashed twice in the air, and each time was buried to its hilt im her captor’s body. To toss the dying man off the hurse, grasp the reins, wheel round and ride back to her friends, was the work ot amoment. One can imagine the en- thusiasm which greeted her return. 1 was informed that in order to mark their ap- previation of her hervic deed, she was ever

council of tribe thus

supreme. There seemed to be no railying pot. Atlength we discerned a small

ring of squaws squatted on the ground a short distance from us in the centre of a level space. They were occupied in beat- ing a tom-tom, each of them with a shert piece of stick, uttering at the same time a kind of monotonous chant. “This was evi- dently intended for a signal, and we moved towards them, as did others. Then several mounted Ladians began riding furiously up and down the plain uttering various dis- cordant cries, evidently with the purpose of collecting the combatants. I may re- mark that they were nearly all very indiffer- ent horsemen. I was surprised at this, for | had heard and read much about the riding of the wild Indian, how horse and man seemed animated by the one will, so per- fectly did the rider sit his steed, and so forth. These Indians, however,did not atall come up to my ideal red man in this par- ticular. Notwithstanding the fact, they were all bent on showing off. Eagle Tail’s horse, I noted, actually threw him head- over-heels to his great chagrin.

| noviced while these preliminary manceu- vres were going on that nobody seemed ina harry, except, perhaps, some few who

dashed hither and thither like A. D. C's, but with no particular purpose. Gradually, however, the warriors converged, and then separating into two equal bodies, began the battle, which consisted in galloping in squads madly over the plain, yelling, firing

their guns, and, in short, lookng like so

‘many devils incarnate. *‘ Qld Sun ” sat

beside us, and thought it necessary,through the medium of Billy Gladstone, to as-

‘sure us at intervals of our perfect safety, and adding that this was nothing to real war.

The review being finished, we bade adieu to our red brethern, and leaving them in the enjoyment of our bounty, we moved on

, to Calgary.

| We tound the fires still very bad. I, my- self, saw the sparks from our engine ignite

the prairie in several places.

We arrived at Calgary, which is 54 miles west of Gleichen, 839 miles from Winnipeg aud 2264 miles from Montreal, in about two ‘hours. This place is beautifully situated on the Bow River, the centre of a charming valley, admirably adapted for grazing pur-

ses. Ordinarily the Rocky Mountains

‘are plainly visible at Calgary, from which

place they are distant from 100 to 150

'miles; and we eagerly looked forthem, but tu our disappointment, the smoke hid them ‘from view. The effect of proximity to the ; Mountains is seen here in the greatly im- proved condition of nature— for the mount-

‘ains attract the clouds, and thus induce

‘rain, which is so necessary in these parts

In the afternoon we drove across the prairie in buckboards and witnessed a re- view of the Mounted Police, 150 of whom

,were camped on a plateau four miles from the town. “This plateau is surrounded by hills, and the afternoon being tine and the ‘force in good condition, the scene was a | Very anijnated and pretty one, | We had tea with the officers, and after-

; wards drove home by way of Major Walk- ‘er’s farm, which is situated on the river bank not far from the town. . Here I saw

oats and barley growing to perfection, as also 1.00ts and other produc ts of the farm.

| In the evening | ‘‘assisted” in the laying

‘of the foundation stone of a new Presby-

terian Church, and also at the presentation

j of two addresses, to which the Premier made exceedingly happy replies. Then we

lattended a social in connection with the

jaforesaid Church, and after that I saw sev-

feral of my old-time friends, one of whom | pointed out to me the spot on a hillside — not far from the river bank —-where my old schoolfellow, John Brecken, lies buried.

We left Calgary in the night. Early next morning I was awakened by Mr. Egan tell- ing me the whole party was off to see the Kananaski’s Falls, of which I had pre- viously heard nothing. I was so sleepy that I told him I regretted he was not one of the party, and so I missed the Falls, which I believe were well worth seeing.

liere we began to see the Rockies around us, and the scene grew grander at every mile. The smoke hung over everything, but partially lifted as the day wore on, and latterly ut served to wrap the whole in a mysterious haze, which lent an additional charm.

Shortly after passing Canmore we noticed a natural tunnel in one of the cliffs, be- tween which the Bow River flows. This tunnel, which is about two miles long, is formed by the action of the water. I pre- sume a portion of the Bow River leaves the main channel to flow through it. Its mouth is cireular, and from the Railway looks ex- actly as though it were the work of man.

Now we see the snow lying deep on the mountain tops, which rise higher and higher as we proceed on our way. Some- times the peaks seem to form a circle round ene that towers in majesty above all his fellows. At other times one is seen stand- ing in solitary grandeur, and again they take the form of ranges, stretching in single tile as far as the eye can reach. 4

Ata meeting of subscribers to the art school to be established in Halifax the secretary gave a short statement of the pro

ress of the movement. About $4,000 had ae subscribed, $600 collected in small sums, and $1,600 realized from the art ball and the art loan exhibition, making over $6,000 to date. In addition to this $3,000 is voted to be paid by the city council, as soon as the school is in operation, and $800 a year from the government.
