But the Ion not readily shatter his in myriad of and demons and minor powers. Many Indians, when ill. would pros for relief and believe 1 10 divine healing. James Smith, who spent six soars amoug the Indians after adoption Into a Coughnewaga family. put down on nearly century and a half paper ago.

a prayer he heard Teenughretanego, chief. deliver one night in his tent. The old chief had fallen victim to rheumatism. This was a common com plaint. among them.

Cold and exposure. wet feet, faulty clothing and sleeping on the ground were to blame. As A result of rheumatism for a long time could not walk. Ile was in Intense pain. Finally the old chief built himselt a -house with blankets and skins.

"Grant that rain may come to raise the Olentangy about two or three fret. that we may cross in safety down to Selota without danger of our canoe being wrecked on the rocks. And 1 now Oh. Great Being! thou knowest how matters stand: thou knowest that am great lover of tobacco, and though know not when I may get any more. I now make a present of the Inst 1 hare unto thee, us a free burnt offering: therefore I expect thou wilt hear and grant these requests.

and thy servant, will return thee thanks and love thee for thy gifts." Smith says that when he saw the cha chief burning the lust of his tobacco ns an offering he smiled. This offended Tecaughretanego who, showing his displeasure, addressed him saying: have somewhat to say to you. and hope you will not be offended when tell you of your faults. You know when Sou were rending your books in town I would not let the boss or anyone disturb you; but now. when was praying.

saw you laughing. "I do not think you look upon prayIng as a foolish thing; I believe yon pray yourself. But perhaps you think my mode or manner of praying fool Ish: if SO, you ought in a friendly manner to instruct me and not make sport of sacred things." Smith records: "1 acknowledged my error and he handed me his pipe to smoke in token of friendship and reconciliation though ut this time he had nothing to smoke but red willow bark." He also says that the ruins came and raised the creek, that they killed four bears and got some fat turkeys. and a bit later tobacco, and that all the requests to the old chief's prayer were fulfilled. 10 A Herald Want Ad will sell it.

EAT NATURE'S SWEET Ohloff's Pure Extracted HONEY $1.00 Per Gallon at YOUR GROCERS Sunshine Cure in the Park By DOROTHY DOUGLAS (Copyright.) THE. day was delightfully ly cheerful in Its und the park was looking unusual. ham colors; but Wendwas distinctly disgruntled with parks, whether lovely If that Infernal or otherwise. hadn't lamp standard been in its proper place on the sidewalk Wyndham's have car would not swerved Into it and succeeded in breaking his log. The doctor had Insisted on at least another fortnight of the "keeping out In open" hofore getting back to bustIN AN, Wyndham In harness.

fretted like colt He wanted to get back to It Job. lints, his joyous terrior, however. was having the time of his life. Evory day for the past fow weeks he and his master hand had a romp. Rats' liked nothing better than to rare in the park and frighten all the birds into instant flight.

At present he was fu the seventh heaven, having roused a score or more of squawking gull- from a most peace. tut floating party they were enjoying on the surface of the Inke. "Oh. drat! You silly little dog! I Was sotting such 11 lovely sketch of those birds and now you've spoiled it all: No--go away -I don't like you." Wyndham turned around in surprise to see the owner of the voice. She had been concealed behind a bush beside the path and was sketching In an enormous sketch book.

"Oh, I say," said Wyndham, doffing bis tweed cup, "I'm frightfully sorry that hound of mine has disturbed the pigeons. He didn't. of course, know they were posing for their portraits." "Those pigeons happen to be son gulls," said the fair artist. "I could weep---I was getting them so "oh, my goodness, don't weep," hurriedly exclaimed Wyndham. "I'll make Rats -it up for live minutes while you -ketch him way of punishment.

Rats--big!" He commanded the small and astonished terrier. "At once. And Stay for live minutes. Don't even wig. gle an ear." The girl looked up at Wyndham and smiled.

Who could have helped it? that smile simply washed out all the disgruntled musings with which Wyndham's brain had been cluttered. Ho even found a second in which to fool that the lamp past had been serving its countryman well--otherwise he would not have been in the park and would thereby have missed the sweetest smile he had ever seen. Ile liked the eyes, too, "oh, please, don't punish him like that. He looks so sorry for himself sitting up like a dummy." I will punish him. He had to right to frighten those pi--swans." Wyndham had dung himself down uninvited to watch the sketch.

"I have to supervise this work of art." "Porhaps you would like to purchase it when completed." laughed Daphne. "I need a new hat." She was sketching while she chatted and Wyndham fell to wondering if she were Joking not. She certainly looked like one of those impoverished artists with her shabby cont and more shabby hat. "I'll buy it for five -dollars, and tomorrow, if you will make another sketch. I will buy that.

too, I can find any number of animal models. Most of my friends would rather have painting of their dogs than of their husbands." "Nico sort of friends you have," laughed Daphne. "You evidently belong to the idle rich." "Rich but not idle," put in Wyndham. "Confounded swerve of my car caused at bit of a smashup and I'm expreted to be idle for another fortnight under doctor's orders. I don't mind quite so much now that I've met you," he added with a grin.

Daphne turned astonished eyes upon him. "But you haven't met me--nor have I met you," she said severely. "Oh!" growled Wyndham. "What A rotten situation--unkind fate and all that sort of thing. What are we Ing to do about it?" "I nm certainly not going to waste any time worrying about It," said Daphne, and closed her sketch book, refusing to draw another line while Rats ant up 80 forlornly.

"The world cun jog along very nicely even though we have not met." "Not for me, young lady," said Wyndham. "It will never be the same world again. I shall only live for the day when you will put that little hand in mine and say, 'pleased to meet you, Mr. Tom The girl gasped. "But you're not Tom Wyndham of the Glover Manufacturing company, are you? Goodness uno! My dad has been raving about and Insisting on my meeting what you he calls a real out-and-out man for months, And I flatly refused.

I am of these paragons and always wary frightened of their many virtues." realize Intention she had made 8 swift And before Wyndham could her behind the shrubbery and plunge from his sight. He said a tow Ished forceful words which made Rats want his wagging ears, "Now I've to cover ask every man in the office it got adorable daughter with vloto he and a clef In her chin who has an let eyes But Daphne hurried home with scarConfound the let cheeks a and a "I new light In her eyes. "Dad," she said that evening, sort of Could you ask him to dinner want to meet your Mr. tomorrow the little hand was In lids own: night?" So even before Wyndham had expected it.
