THE UW&JZWG HEAD.

Is a remote part of the North lived a man and his sister, who had n*r«x
seen a human being. Seldom, if ever, had the man any cause to go from
home ; for, as his wants demanded food, he had only to go a little distance
from the lodge, and there, in some particular spot, pbce hk arrows, with
their barbs in the ground, Telling his aster where they had been placed,
every morning she would go in search, and never fail of firing eada, stock
through the heart of a deer. She had tben only to drag them into th* lodge
and prepare their food. Thus she lived till she attained womanhood, wJbee
one day her brother, whose name was lamo, said to her : ' Sister, the tisaa
is at hand when you will be ilL Listen to my advice. If you do not, it
will probably be the cause of my death. Tafce the implements with whidb

must cook for yourself, and I will for myself. When ycm are 31, do not
attempt to come near the lodge, or bring any of the ntenaals yoa ue&. Be
