ed back on the long drive home one were willing little fellows <strong>and</strong> we<br />

of the horses was sick, <strong>and</strong> all tho have travelled many miles together,<br />

way home he lagged <strong>and</strong> was in <strong>and</strong> I have many times asked them<br />

pain, <strong>and</strong> when I unhitched him that to do a hard day's work <strong>and</strong> they<br />

nio-ht at home it was the last time, always gave a cheerful response.<br />

<strong>and</strong> while I had felt many times <strong>The</strong> hardest day's work as I re­<br />

that I could be reconciled if they<br />

were dead, yet I did not care to<br />

have anyone with me when 1 came<br />

to the place where I found him<br />

dead. I had no mate for the other<br />

one, <strong>and</strong> so I traded him, <strong>and</strong> he<br />

met with harsher owners who must<br />

have met his rebelliousness with<br />

abuse, for the Jast time I saw him<br />

he was a crippled up old horse, <strong>and</strong> I<br />

felt more pity in my heart for him<br />

than for the one that had died before,<br />

<strong>and</strong> I wished he had died <strong>and</strong><br />

were lying with his mate rather than<br />

let him pass through the alnisc that<br />

must have been visited on him to<br />

make a horse of his calibre into a<br />

broken down old hack.<br />

had l<strong>and</strong>ed home from Synod on<br />

Friday night. <strong>The</strong> trip home involved<br />

not only the miles of railroad<br />

travel, but a thirty-five mile<br />

trip by wagon. Coming in from<br />

this late Friday night, we found a<br />

large bunch of mail awaiting us,<br />

<strong>and</strong> one of the letters was from the<br />

Baptist missionary south of the<br />

mountains, telling us that one of<br />

our members was very sick <strong>and</strong><br />

there was little chance of her recovery.<br />

It meant a drive of over twenty^-five<br />

miles to her home, but Saturday<br />

morning early we started,<br />

<strong>and</strong> had only driven part of the way<br />

when we met an Indian who told us<br />

that this woman's husb<strong>and</strong> was dead.<br />

Wc were quite confused because the<br />

letter had plainly said that the woman<br />

was the siel< one, but we jiressed<br />

on toward the home. "When near<br />

the place, we met another Indian<br />

wlio told us that the woman was<br />

dead <strong>and</strong> that the man was very<br />

side, lying at a camp some twenty<br />

miles in another direction. We<br />

started across the prairies for this<br />

point, <strong>and</strong> when we had travelled a<br />

large part of the way, another Indian<br />

met us, saying that the man was<br />

dead <strong>and</strong> his body had been taken to<br />

the Baptist ilission for burial, but<br />

<strong>also</strong> told us that the little boy, the<br />

child of this couple, was dead.<br />

Again turning our team toward the<br />

Mission <strong>and</strong> making all haste, we<br />

Baptist Mission <strong>and</strong> found the force<br />

At that time we had a little camp<br />

there digging at a grave for the<br />

house at a preaching station we<br />

to spend the night there, <strong>and</strong> hold<br />

all h<strong>and</strong>s worked up to the limit to<br />

get the grave finished <strong>and</strong> then the<br />

body was laid away. Some repairs<br />

were made ou the broken single-ire<br />
