HOW THE INDIANS SOUGHT THE GREAT CHIEF

FTER Glooscap, the Great Chief, had left

the Indians, and had gone to his home in

the far West, the Indians were very lonely

Without him, and many often wished they might

go in search of him. They did not know where

he was, and so they were uncertain which way

to go; but they knew that while he was with

them he was never far away, and that he could

always be found by those who were willing to seek him.

At last four Indians determined to go in search of the Great Chief. They started from home in the early spring, and they travelled through forests and over rivers, and through wide fields in the heat of the summer. They went on and on, and cold winter came upon them. But they never thought of turning back; they had started out in search of the Master, and they would go until they had found him. Sometimes they would fall in the deep snow, and they were very often hungry and thirsty and cold, but they kept on, and at last the winter ended, and Spring came to them again. And

then spring passed and it was summer time. 281
