MICKIE. and his people are at War, their land, and, because of this, 1 have summoned you to- day." Hector Frazer, Hudson's Bay factor at Chipewyan paused. His and braves, sitting cross-legged and sient in a semi-circle about him; and by the very tenseness of their stoical calm he realized how deep was their interest. "When the white men go to war," he continued, after a minute, "it is bad for us of this northland. My company and all the traders of Can- ada are now without money. The furs of last year le piled high in the storehouses of the land, for there is no market. The white men fight among themselves. They who would have bought from the companies of this land are no longer friends and the peaceful trade of yesterday is gone. To-day the red fire speaks from the mouths of great guns and there are many widows in the land beyond the shores of Kechegame (the sea). Keshamanito, the great mereiful spirit, who looks down upon us all in lime of peace, has furned his face away. Machamanito, the spirit of all evil, rules men's hearts in the world outside. And so, listen well, my bro- thers, for I must give you a message thavAtiilaw, whom vou all saw ar- rive from Landing this morning, has brought me." Appreciating the deep love of dis- play innate in the Indian, Frazer reached slowly into his breast pocket and brought forth a long, official blue envelope. Holding it in his half upraised hand he continued: "The company, because there is no money. coming into the land and their fur lies piled high within many storehouses to which no buyers come, have commanded me no long er to allow a 'debt.' And even to you, | ™¥ people, who have come for these ; many years to this post and paid off your 'debt' without fail, a new one cannot be given." As the factor ceased speaking a low murmuring wail came from the gathering. Too well they knew the pinch of empty bellies, and now, with the knowledge that no new "debt" of food, of powder, and ball, would be forthcoming, there came a terrible dread of winter. Robbed of this life- long privilege they stood empty banded, unprepared, with nothing to contend against it. For a long moment they sat, till the factor disappeared within the door of the post. Then rising, they walked slowly back to their encamp- ment, a hali-mile away on the shore Of Lake Athabasca As they went they bowed their heads and their hearts were heavy with farebodin With heavy heart the factor « ter- ed the. little living room that adjoin- ed the store. Going over to his red book case, upon which rested a few scant volumes, he picked out one, Sitting down ai the nearby table he turned over the well thumbed pages, almost instantly reaching the passage he sought. It was Tolstoi's sion. And as the grader read he redlized dully how true the words now were. At the bottom of the page long months ago he had written in his own scrawling hand "When it does come there will' be bad times in the northland." Again he read over the passage: "This is a revelation of events of & universal character which must shortly come to pass. Their spirit- ual outlines are now before my eyes. I see floating upon the surface of the sea of human fate the huge #ilhou- ette of a nude woman. She is -- with her bea®fty, her poise, her smile, her jewels, ---- a super-Venus.

Her breath, reeking of sordid transac- tions, her voice. of metallic character like gold, and her look of greed are 50 much poison to the nations that fall victim to her charms." | Presently Fraser closed the book and sat staring straight ahead at the whitewashed log wall, his whole be- ing troubled with: she thought of those red men gathered on the shores of the lake. Thirty years he had served the Hudson's Bay Company, but during these years he had assumed another duty, one apart, different from any which' his position necessitated. When he had taken over the post, the Indians, like those trading at neighboring ones, were fast becom- ing depleted in numbers. Swayed by his religious feelings he had come to look upon the red men about him as his own personal charges. Too, lack- ing children or kin to love, he had given over to these wilderness people the empty places in his heart. So he had watched over his own little band of Indians until they, weak, un- thinking, eternally improvident, had in recent years increased in numbers and become prosperous according to Indian standards. The factor had come to View with growing complac- ency the successful results of his labors on their behalf. Fowthis rea- son the carrying out of these official orders was now a bitter task. Only {wo days ago the band had arrived to secure the yearly outfit, and preparatory to leaving for the winter trapping grounds had camped upon the shore of the lake. In two more days they would have been on their way. In viéw of this, Attilaw's untimely arrival was the more to be deplored. But to Frazer, master of his own domain and upon whose goods no outside check had ever been made, came no thought to make the usual advance in defiance of the orders. Despite his love for his charges, his desire for their welfare, 30 years in the company's 'service had made obedience 'a thing of se- cond nature. Now that these instrue- tions had arrived there was only one thing to de. Again Frazer brought out the new orders, reading them over slowly. As he came to the words: "Not one debt shall be given the Indians," a wave of honest anger : swept over him. There came a realization of how little, after all, did those men out in the big world care whether famine or death visited these ehil- dren of the wild. How truly, he | thought, had Telstoi spoken when he | said of commercialism, 'Her breath, j reeking of sordid transactions, her | voice of metallic character like gold, | and her look of greed are so much poison to the nations that fall victim to her charms." Truly, these words | were equally applicable to men and companies as to nations. Deep in thought the factor did not hear the storehouse door open. Not until a soft tap sounded at his own portal did be rouse. Turning, he saw before him Opapamotgo, chief of the. band. | "We have held council among our- selves, Okosapuhchegac," the chief said, addressing the factor by his Cree name, which meant "He-Who- Sees-Ahead." Long ago the tribe had given Frazer a name and honor- ary place among them. "Awd," the chief went on, "the braves wait out- side. ' There are many words to be spoken." Finishing, Opapamotao re- treated, closing the door softly be- hind him. Outside, around the door, the braves sat as they had a few hours before, in a semi-circle, eross-legged and silent. Frazer sat down on the step of the Post. The long pipe pass- ed around the gathering. When the last man had takem it from hix lips, Opapamotao arose. Dropping his , blanket from his shoulders he stood up straight and tall. - His eyes swept once over the gathering, then he turned and addressed Fraser. "To-day, OKosapuhchegac, you have received word from the Great White Company that no 'debt' should be given # us this winter. . All day we have talked in council of this order of the white man. The Great Company are very rich. In their store houses lie thousands of pounds of tea and flour, and all the things that are now necessary to us of this northland. God made the fur bear- ing animals and the game for the In- dians. Before the white men came, our forefathers lived upon these and were independent. . Then the white men came with their demands for fur and the Indian turned from hig hunting fields and became a hunter for the white man. Now we are not as our fathers were. To-day the game is scarce, the fur must be hunt- ed long and over great distances. And because of this we have come to look to the white man for many things. We have made the men of 4 Why then should they make us saf- the Great White Compatly outside," |. have great wigwams and much food Stored away, even in times -of war, ter for something that is not our fault? Have we not these years traveled far and hunted m for them? Have we not always paid our debts and brought Hives fof to this post? Yes, my brother, we have done all this. And yet the white men would take away our debt when the winter is coming on, when we musi travel far, and many of our squaws are big with child. My bro- thers in council have begged me to lay these matters before you. You are one of us, have been long a part of the northland." Opapamotao stopped abruptly, gas- ed for a long moment at the factor stretching out his arms in a gesture of supplication. "You, Okosopubchegac, under- stand that we are not as our fore. fathers, that now without the white man's aid we cannot live." t With a little sharp gesture of fin- ality Opapamotao resumed his seat. There was a long silence, Fraser sat with bowed head, a new realization i of the situation sweeping over him. Yes; that was it. He understood now. He recognized as he had never fully done before, that it was he and his kind that had changed the wild- erness, making the Indian a depen- dent. i Slowly Frazer got to his feet; duty, obedience; the training of 30 | long years, he put suddenly behind him. "It is well, my brothers," he said, "the words of Opapamotao are good and full of wisdom. To-morrow you ; shall be given your 'debt' as before, 80 that you may go into the wilder- ! ness to the trapping grounds." { Turning, Frazer went within the | post. | Once within he brought out the | heavy ledger of the company. For | an hour he calculated the sum that would cover the cost of outfitting this | band of 100 red men. Arriving at | the answer he closed the book heav- book on an Edmonton bank, | miles away. | Within it lay the savings of all { these years; he compared the total | of this with that of his recent cal- | relief.
