As I bit in my cabin this dark and rainy day, my memory is carried back to ihe spring of '81. It was on the 9th of May that as I eat by my window looking out oyer the broad moor that stretches outl toward the soath from Flat Bow, British Columbia, to Banners Ferry, Idaho, I had been at my little trading post six months and ten days, and nothing uncom mon to a trader's life had occurred. On. this particular day I felt de pressed and out of spirits; I sat list lessly gizmg out on the dreary land scape meditating on my native land.' There seemed all of a sudden to apmg nP a gale o! wind from the south and at the same time a dense - , .-. - - i - i fog and there was a rumbling noise not like that of thunder but like the approach" of a troup of cavalrymen. - I gave a more search ing glance at the; thick vapor and I saw the dim outlines of a horseman. It seemed that the horee was carried or held up by the fog. I looked with wonder on this strange phe- nomenon. At once the wind ceased blowing and the" f 05 disappeared Ipavmjt an In di a h warrior and his j pony standing about' fifty feet from my window. There the Indian stoo v . motionless looking at me with keen and scrutinizing eye, a carrabco skin was wrapped arotydhis form and his long black; hair .hung oyer his shoulders in an entacglea mass. He had quiver willed filled fwith arrows, also bow m hand. 1 do not 1 U know how long I sat looking at this ," savage between fear and doubt a3 to ' his regeneration j Howsver I at last - succeeded in taking my eyes off of him, when ! looked again his! conn tenance seemed to be lit up with more animation, there was not such a scrowl upon his face. Suddenly hvbroke the silence: he' addressed me in the Kootenay tongue: "Kas kinnie ninco larwom," which be ing interpreted is where did yon come from Before I could reply he went on. "It has been fifty years aince I left this cohntry; in my time there were no pale faces in the broad . yalley. - There was a time when my people were happy they would defy the inclemency of the winters blast in the buck skin clothing, it was sport for them to tormentrthe jgnz- - ' - - - r .. ''-( -y zlies with bow and arrow and ' they met their enemies without fear. I at that time was chief of the Kootes nay 8. I was known by the tribes of . . i . j . . . the south as the Red Eagle of the north. For thirty years I led my I people to victory j first, against one tribe, then another. We held our beautiful valley j again st overwhelm j ing , forces. ,: ajhe Nez Percies and Flat Heads have time and again tried to , take possession of this . country. They j succeeded at one time to get as far as Tobacco Plains wnee wemet ta cm. They ouU numbered my ,tribe four to one but after three days of hard fighting we drove them back to their own country. The j Crows, the Black Feet and Regans from the north; Spokanes, and . Colyille3 f rom tthe est; J j the Nez Fercies . and Flat Heads; from the south have all tried to get possession of of this valley, but we have withstood all their dastardly attacks. It was just fifty years ago today that I met Tultam mee. the chief of the Crows. He had crossed the Rockies through the Crows' nest pass, and was encamped at the mouth of Bull River i on the Kootenay4, right in the heart of my country with lour thousand warriors. Fat once held a council and decided to attack him with my whole fo-ce containing two thousand. This was the hardest fougt battle that the Kootenayt eyer engaged in. It was in that fight that I received my death wound from a spear m the hand of Tultammee, (at this point in his narrative he exposed his breast) and I could' see a broken spear still remaining in Jhis chest.) Notwith standing the odds against them, and the fall of their chief. My son at once took command and drove,, the crows back across the Rockies into their Own country. My son, Temmi nesab, is still Chief. He is a brave and noble warrior." T i At these words I' at once found power of utterance. Kow, Old Red Eagle, you have been telling me a long yarn and no doubt some of it is At ' t- 1 ; .1 , ; ine irucn, out you lie wneuou eay j that Temmiuesah is brave and a noble warrior.

At this moment the wind began to moan and I looked and Red Eagle was again astride his horse and was beine carried off to the South on the crest of a dense fog.
