Eight years before a traveller named Clifton had got Ahtunaha to accompany him to Church- ill, and had then induced him to go an to Winnipeg, where the native had, Mr. Caldwell says, been left without funds. The Hudson's Bay officials, who are still the guardians of the northern natives, took charge of Ahtunaha and sent him back to Norway House. The climate there was too tn for him, for Mr. Caldwell says: "While waiting at Norway House Ahtunalia was so affected by the heat that the doctor had to allow him the privilege of living in the company's icchouse amtil such time as the boats descended the river to York Factory." The next time Ahtunaha journeyed with a white man it was to the north. He was one of the natives who accompanied David T. Hanbury on his trip along the Arctic coast. He was once, too, the bearer of a famous mes- sage, for it was he that brought in 1904 « Norwegian Sapo ship Gjoa, then wintering off land, the letter which stated. that the ole had been located and sur- veyed, and that the ship was in fair way ehieh she' did high Jorthwess passage, which 8 e following year.

In a certain village a young man named Bon saved the life of a holiday visitor named Mary. Mary had been put boating on the river and upset iBen had plunged to the rescue, and by the greatest heroism saved the life of the girl. The news soon spread, and Ben was hailed as the real live hero of the village. Ben's aunt, one of the village's oldest iuhabitants, was loud in praise of the heroism of her nephew, and declared that Ben and Mary must get married. "Ben saved Mary's life," she said, "and now they must marry and be happy ever after- wards, just as they do in the story books." But Ben demurred. Fact and fiction were not allied in his shrewd mind. "Why not marry Marv. Ben?" said the old lady. "She is yours, and we must havea wedding." "She is a nice girl, all right," replied Ben, "'but 1 don't think we ought to marry It seems to me," he went on, "that 1 have done ensugh for Mary," Trial Uatarch treatments are being mailed out free, on request, by Dr. Shoop, Racine, Wis.
