SOUR RANGE PARD, WANT WATER” The man standing in the open field looked almost motionless. His eyes were fixed upon the cloudless blue sky overhead. All around him were the parched ears of corn that the settlers had tried to grow. Gilonel John Raven sighed. “Not a cloud in sight. I don’t know whs^t we’ll do if we go without rain another week.’’ From his moccasined feet to his tight fitting leather cap, he was six feet three inches. He was all muscle and weighed a little more than two hundred and thirty pounds. The sun and wind had tanned his skin. On his leather coat was the emblem by which Colonel John Raven was famous on the frontier of a growing America. The blackbird which had come to symbolize the man who was opening the wilderness and making it possible for people to move Westward in safety. “Two more wells went dry this morning,” said his best friend and companion. Charles Collins, often known as Chubby Collins. He was much shorter than the Colonel and tended to be some' what rounder. But appearances they say are de- ceiving. For he was agile and quick and his eyes were keen when sighting his rifle. “We might as well walk back to the settlement,” suggested the Colonel. “|f wishes could give us water, we would haVe had a flood by yesterday. This much I know. If we have a dry spell this year we can have the same next year. Unless we can figure out some way to have water, the settlement won’t last very long. The people will get dis- couraged. Some will want to go back East and others will soon talk of trying to cross the moun- tain range.” The two men slowly retracted their steps to the settlement. Outside of his log cabin, William Dex- ter was busy making bullets for his rifle. A kettle hung over a ' fire which was heating lead. He would dip a long ladle into the lead and then pour the moulten lead into a mould. As the Colonel approached he continued working. “Good afternoon. Colonel Raven.” greeted the settler. “I surmise you took a walk to the co^n field. We will have to figure on hunting for our food supply providing we can find enou^ deer, elk, and bear to furnish our larder.” “It may, be hard to do htrating at this time of the year,” pomted out the Colonel. “The animals are in constant search of water. They will head to the south and west. Lester Bodwin spotted a herd of wild turkey yesterday. I think by the end of the week we will start hunting together.” Sergeant McMullins approached the two friends. He drew them aside and gave them a message. “General Henderson wants to see you at once. Rations are getting low at the fort.” Within the hour the two friends were seated on chairs in the General’s quarters. The commanding officer was deeply worried. “Chief Ta-mo-tahni came to see me yesterday morning to remind me of a promise I made. Namely, that the Great White Father at Wash- ington would always help them when trouble came. Now he wants me to redeem that promise.” “Are they in danger of an attack from Chief Big Legs?” asked Chubby Collons with anxiety in his voice. “No,” explained the General. “Their problem is exactly the same as ours. They are running short of food. All they want from me is enough rations to feed the tribe for about three weeks. The Chief has sent some of his warriors over the mountain range to hunt for buffalo. He has agreed to give us part of the meat providing they are successful. But what do we do in the mean- Mme?” There was quiet in the General’s quarters as he finished speaking. A promise had to be kept. But how? Just to break the silence. Chubby Collins said something. “What was it I remembered about casting bread upon water? You get more bread. Or throw- ing in the net and getting fish?” “That’s the answer,” shouted the Colonel. “1 need five wagons and about a dozen soldiers. We «re going over the old trail. Give us emergency rations for three days and send word to the Chief we will keep our promise. We'll take Sergeant McMullins with us because I'm certain he won’t want to miss this bit of adventure." At sunrise the wagons with the soldiers left the fort. Not a word had been said about their des' tination. For three days they travelled along the old trail, and then came to a spot that looked like a big tub of mud. ‘‘If 1 were a kid,'' said Chubby Collins, *‘I would take off my shoes and wade in the mud.” ‘‘That’s exactly what jiou and the soldiers are going to do.” laughed th>| Colonel. Are you certain you haven’t been affected by the heat, sir?” asked sergeant McMullins who couldn't make any sense out of what the Colonel had just said. But a minute later he regretted having permitted those words to pass his lips. For it did make a lot of good sense as Colonel Raven continued speaking. ‘‘This place is known as Qua-ma-ki Lake which in english means lake full of fish. Just now there isn’t any lake, but where are the fish? They are hidden in the mud. So let’s start digging and fill up those wagons. As soon as we have finished. Chubby Collins will leave for the indian village writh a message.” The soldiers worked with a will and soon the wagons were full of food. Private Ben Higgins came to a sound conclusion as he looked at the wagons about to make the return journey to the settlement. “I guess we will have to live on fish until we get to the fort, and for some time after that. I’ll probably feel like a stuffed fish." When the parly returned to the settlement, Chief Ta-mo-tahni and about forty of his braves were there. They had dug pits into the ground. Fish were immediately given to the settlers. The indians started slow fires and the puzzled whites watched them. ‘‘What are they going to do with all that fish?” asked William Dexter. ‘‘I can’t figure it out.” ‘‘They are going to smoke the fish,” explained the Colonel. ‘‘It is the indian way of preserving it. They will take half for their trouble and give us the balance. That will tide us over for some time until we can get our hunting organized. They were not very successful in their search for buffalo.” The prospect of famine had been narrowly averted. In a month army supplies would arrive from Philadelphia, but the Colonel was still uo- satisfied. He went several times to visit Chief Ta^ mo-tahni. The two discussed the problems caused by the lack of water. “The indians are thinking of moving their village to another site,” reported the Colonel to General Henderson. “I want to call a meeting of all the settlers and outline a plan to them.” Two days later all the settlers were assembled in the fort. The Colonel spoke briefly. “If I can show you a plan to have water all year long, are you willing to share half of it with the indians? If so. this must be put into a written agreement.” The men talked about it for half an hour and then voted one hundred per cent for a plan to give them water. The next day they all went to the top of Mok-ta Mountain. “Below us is a valley,” explained the Colonel. “Normally three streams bypass it. We can divert the water into the valley. All we have to do is close the narrow gap with logs and stones. We will thus make a combination reservoir and dam. The summer rains will also be stored there. It will take about a week of hard work to close the gap and the indians will help us because they too will benefit.” The records show that this project was very successful. It kept the settlement going and helped to cement better relationships between the whites and the indians. General Henderson was very much satisfied, but he also was curious. So one day he sent for his most valuable man and asked a question. “Why did you insist that the indians get half of the water?” There was a big smile on the Colonel’s face. The reservoir was now almost three quarters full of water. “You will admit. General, that the plan has been very successful,” he replied. “That I do.” responded the General. “But yotii still haven’t answered my question. I assume you did it because you are a very fair man.” “That’s probably the best explanation,” re- plied Colonel Raven. ”On that last trip to the indian village I was very discouraged. I watched an indian boy make a little mud pie with stones and sticks. He filled it with some precious water. Then he broke down one side and the water es- caped. That gave me the idea for the reservoir we built. And since it was inspired by an indian, I felt they should be rewarded.” THE END TEX RITTER WESTERN ^ mmi0 LUCtNOULO COME our OF HIDING.' ARE O'^ER.
