"You are', said Mike, and iv has just come to me 1 see my old iriend Dugald McCormack. Well, 1t 18 good tor sore eyes to see you again. We had some good times when you were with the Hudsons Bay Company." Then tnere were all sorts of questions asked by both parties and I guess there had been some doings by that pair. I forget what had happened but 1 think there must have been plenty. We were called to dinner and 1 was surprised to see the table beautifully set with tine white cloth; pretty dishes and silver ana best or all a huge roast of venison, and vegetables. Oh boy, It looked good to us and were we hungry? ; ~ We all sat down with the exception ot the red haired girl, who took the first plate of dinner over to the fireplace (which was a dandy) and there sitting on the floor was an old squaw with her legs crossed in front or her. Her hair was hanging down her back in two large braias, which reached the tloor, and tied at the ends with red ribbons. She never looked up but set to work with her knife and fork with periect ease. Over her shoulders she wore one of the most -beautitul blankets I have ever seen. It was a solid mass of bead work, 'I'he girl gave her a little pat on the head and left her. After dinner the old gentleman (for that is what he was) took us all over and introauced us to the old squaw who turned out to be his wite. She never rose but took our hands and gave us each a httle nod and said "Ach" that was all. We wer® told atter that she spoke perfect English, when alone with the amily ; but never once since she was married had she sat at the table with them but always by the fireplace on the floor. However, she loved them and they all loved her devotedly so that was all right. We had a long drive before us so said goodbye. Before we lett the old man took me by the arm and said, "My son where are you oft to? 1 told him and he said, "Don't stay too long and come back this way, | may have something: to tell you." My curiosity was aroused so I asked what it might be. . He said "Haven't you heard anything yet? I answered "no." "Well," he 'said, "the whole country about here is very restless, especially the Indians. The whites are telling them that the Americans are coming over to take Canada and that they will take their reserves away from them. The Indians are holding sun dances, war dances, brave dances, pow-wows and everything, I don't know where they are getting their news from." : "Oh", 1 said, "1t is all bosh, surely, I have heard nothing. Still where there is a lot of smoke there is usually fire, so old 'limer," shaking hands with him, "Let's hope there is nothing in it. We will see you on our way back, good bye." : The rest of our journey was without any. more adventure: We found a good camping ground and were soon cooking supper, In the morning our driver lett us with the warning "Goodbye boys, Keep your eyes open for those Indians from the Reserve, They are bad medicine and will get. even with you, if possible." There {vas a settler's house not far away. Tom KFarquarson, the foreman, was a very decent chap and we made arrangements with him to draw in our stuft providing we got anything. _He informed us there were plenty of Black Tail Deer and Elk around. That was good enough for us, Well, the hunting com- menced the next day with the killing of a fine black bear and some Jumping deer. The following day we drew a blank, The next day after that we started a fine herd of Elk and -only bagged one fine bull, Then no luck for three days. On the following Monday we got among the chickens (Sharp Tailed Grouse) and we had a wonderful 'bag by night, killing over one hundred birds. mek EA _. The tollowing Thursday we struck the trail of a large Black Tail Deer and followed it for about one mile when the track led us to where a whole herd had slept over night. Now, we had to move very carefully. . . iy I was a short distance to the South of the bunch when I saw the herd feeding around the edge of a bluff down in a hollow. I gave the low whistle of the Yellow. Plover and the rest stopped until I walked back down the hill and over to the party. They . could see the deer from where they were. I told them what I had seen and started the boys off in a different direction as we must not be seen, and surrounded the herd. They were in a wonderful -Ppogition for a killing, as 'wé we at the.South end of the Sand Hills which almost join the Tiger Hills and the country there was rolling and by keeping in the ravines the herd could not see us, .. When'the boys left: me they were t6 crawl up to one of the ridges'and ait until I gave them the signal they they would all cloge in on the deers It worked to perfection.

Blake said, "Boys, I think we better get these horses in the , bush until we see what these fellows intend to do, but don't pull "a trigger whatever you do, unless they start something." We got the horses around the corner.of the bluff and tied them up. We then stayed on the outskirts of the timber and watched. The Indians seemed to be riding hard but did not ap- pear any nearer than when we first sighted them. I thought that was funny, and I looked at Van-and I understood at once. "Well, Van" I said, "that is just about the best one I ever saw." then Blake caught on too. : ; ; "Boys", he said, "that is one on us. at them now, they are-rising from. the ground.
