CHAPTER XXXVI The badges referred to are small maple leaves of metal which can be pinned on the clothing, and the acâ€" count given by Mr. Blackford of the way in which the Indians received them is interesting. He writes:â€" "One and all were very much pleased with the badges given them. They pinned them in all sorts of places on their clothing, where each one‘s fancy thought the most conspicuous place. One man would not take his badge until he had first washed himself and changed his shirt, and then the badge was used as a collarâ€"button or brooch. Hats and shirts were the favorite spots for adornment, but not a few, after â€" carefully polishing them, would fold them in cloth to keep them for some special occasion. A great percentage of them feel that they are thus, after receiving the badge from the Government, conâ€" stituted minor chiefs andâ€" guardians of the forest." â€" "We Indians appreciate the work the Government is doing to prevent forest fires in our district. We pledge ourselves to do all we can to help. We promise to put out our own campâ€"fires every time before leaving camp. _ We accept the badges given by the Government as a pledge." n o In the summer of 1911 Mr. J. T. Blackford, chief fireâ€"ranger of the Northern â€" Manitoba _ fireâ€"ranging district, spoke to the Indians of several bands and induced them to promise to help to prevent fires. In some cases he got them to sign the following pledge :â€" Keewatin Indians Pledged to Heip Protect Forests, Volunteer firemen have on inâ€" numerable occasions done yeoman service in protecting life and proâ€" perty endangered by fire in the towns and villages, and even the cities, of the settled part of Canâ€" ada. In the reâ€"awakening of the public to the danger and loss caused by forest fires volunteer fireâ€" men have again been brought into service. R The volunteers in this case are Indians living in the district beâ€" tween Lake Winnipeg and the Hudâ€" son Bay, in the area traversed by the Nelson River through, or near, which the Hudson Bay Railway will run. "What a pity we do not know who she is," she exclaimed, gazing admiringly on the waxen face, framed in soft, curling locks. ‘"It‘s a shame we cannot let her people know she is alive and wellâ€"of course they are mourning her as dead, poor pretty child." & "After a few hours‘ rest she will come to, and be able to give us their address, and they can be sent for," predicted the professor; but in this he was wrong. (To be continued ) ‘‘Why not t‘ ‘‘Because youa never bring home any prizes." Of course it was clearly out of the question to send her to a hospital under the cireumstancesâ€"the only way out of the affair was to take her to his own home. A And this plan he executed without de ay. He exglained the embarrassing situaâ€" tion to his wife, who received the lovely stranger with open arms. Gay clung to him in terror, begging him piteously to tell ber where she was, and why she was broughr. there; but before he could answer er, exhausted nature had asserted itself and she fell back in his arms in a deep swoon, that resembled death closely enough. § "Here‘s a pretty affair!‘ exclaimed the professor, nervously; "what in the world is to be done with her? Not a lineâ€"noâ€" thing about her gives a clew as to her identity !" The professzor had comprehended the sitâ€" uation in a eingle ivstant; the girl had fallen into a trance, and had been brought to them under the eupposition that she was dead. He sprung forward with a low ery, liftâ€" ed Gay to her feet, and before she had time to glance around the ghastly room into which she had been brought, had hurried her to another apartment. __ "Oh, I remember, I remember," she cried out sharply, "he would not release me from that borrible place, and I made up my mind to die.". hoib Up flew the little white hands to her breast, into which she had plunged the glender silver dagger, as though she exâ€" pected to find it there ‘still. _ ® "I tried to end my life, I fell at his feet with the darkness of death closing in around me.

In turning or lifting the meat if a fork is stuck into it the juices will flow out and be wasted; if necesâ€" sary to use the fork it should be stuck in the fat. When sufficiently cooked the meat will be slightly puffy in the centre, and if pressed with the blade of a knife it will feel firm but not hard. When cut it should be pink and juicy ; it purâ€" ple it is still raw ; if dry and brown it is overâ€"cooked.

A bed of hard wood coals, charcoal or coke is better than coal, as there is less flame, therefore less danger of smoking the meat; a shovelful of either of the latter may be added to a coal fire with the desired reâ€" sult. Broiled meat may be smoked from two causesâ€"the coal flame condensing on the cooler surface of the meat will deposit a film of coal tar, while the fat flame will cover the meat with a thin Jlayer of burned fat.
