THE INDIAN Horse stealing was greal sporl for the Indian. It was usually the resull of tribal hostilities or the thieving nature of the liniiau. In one particular ease, however, the motive was undoubtedly to play even . The following story was told by the daughter ( r a greal Piegan chief who, himself, was the hero of the hour. The Crow Indians had been stealing the horses of the Piegans. The Piegans prepared themselves for a similar comeback ai their enemy. A war party of which Meek-i-appy, the most cunning, was the chief, started ut for the Crow country. Within sighl of a Crow camp and aboul 300 yards distant, the party dismounted in a willow thicket. Meek-i-appy fastened one end of a stout string of rawhide in the center of the thicket, and sixty yards out to the edge of the thicket, from the center, he tied the other end. To the end within the thicket he attached his medicine bag and to that, two small hells. Saving completed this, he began the theft. Because of his skill the chief was designated to do the steal- ing and mount his warriors on the stolen horses. Soon every warrior was riding a fine, si L ' Ong, supple steed. I ' m Meek-i-appy ' s highesl ambition was to steal the Crow chief ' s medicine pouch. Such a feat was a warrior ' s bravest accomplishment. He entered the chief ' s tepee ami plucked the trophy from a tripoon very near the sleeping chief ' s head, lie was retreating quickly when he stumbled on the door of the lodge, and the whole camp was aroused. Meek-i-appy sought retreat in the willow thicker. An Indian will not follow an enemy into thick brush. The Indians seeking Meek-i-appy began rapid fire from the outside. He went to the edge of the thicket, I h - most remote from the Indians, and pulled on the string of rawhide. The sound of the hells startled the Indians. Thinking he was there, they fired in tin- direct i f the hells. Being at an advanta ge and not fired upon, Meek- i-appy killed three of the warriors, finally the Crows stood together near the brush, opposite where the bells were ringing and one of them said in a loud voice, Are you a man or are you a ghost ' . ' In reply the bells rang three times. The Indians thought they had killed the Piegan and his ghost was answering them. They left, and Meek-i-appy and his warriors arrived home safe with all their spoils. The Indian is characterized by his neverfailing courage and patience. His admirable determination and leadership have won him an important place in history. It took great leaders to hold together tribes that were shaken by hos- tilities, wars, and hatred. Not only Indian tribes, but other organizations as well must: be led by the strongest and wisest ; and education, as its share, must also have capable leadership to insure the best results.
