'roni lie first, however, the old ser

f Lealo's troop, as ho disgustedly re

w-ry iman in C troop that there was

And i here was another still who woro
io iniple dress of a private soldier,
hose eyes, black, piercing aid full of
prtession, were constantly following

With them went Crow Knifo's father

iduco his mother to abandon the vil

hen unquestionably, yet miavoidably,
me squaws recei-ved their death wounds
tho furious fight that followed Far
tr's assassinlation. Recognized and res
ied by his former friends, Crow Knife
cut back to Frayne when the brief but
lood.y Carnpaign was enided and then
as senit to thInd 11ian school at Car

"'What d'yo think of that fellow,
