"Let me see it."
The pictures of the great shaggy dogs and of the chamois were easy enough to understand. Ni-ha-be knew that she could see a real "big horn" at a greater distance than Rita. But how was it that not one word came to her of all the "story talk" Rita had translated from those little black "signs"? Ni-ha-be grew more and more jealous of her adopted sister.
Rita's prizes promised to be a source of a good deal of annoyance to her as well as pleasure and profit. On that day, however, they made the afternoon's ride across the rolling plain seem very short indeed.
Only a few warriors were to be seen when the order to halt was given, but they had picked out a capital place for a camp—a thick grove of trees on the bank of a deep, swift river. There were many scattered rocks on one side of the grove, and it was just the spot Many Bears had wanted to find. It was what army officers would call "a very strong position and easily defended."

[PET STOCK MARKET REPORT.]
BY A. W. ROBERTS.
The report at the end of this article will enable any boy or girl who wishes to exchange pet stock to see at a glance the market valuation placed upon such things as young people would probably like to deal in.
In making up this report I have avoided the very high selling prices, and often the very low prices paid by dealers, but have taken the figures of dealers who are satisfied with a fair profit. Purchasers of pet stock will do well to bear in mind that prices vary greatly according to the season of the year, as, for instance, a month previous to the holidays the prices range the highest. During the hot midsummer months, when the young folks are in the country, the demand falls off greatly, so that dealers are forced to reduce the amount of stock on hand and the prices to the lowest figures.
