20 VV. S. H. S. 1920 he had been directed by the Great Spirit to tell her what to do. He told her that she must go up into the mountains alone and must never return. Winona loved her husband but she could not disobey the wise man, so she departed for the mountain. Three days after the departure of Winona there was great confusion of the elements and a shaking of the earth and When all was calm again the Indian looked to the mountains and there saw the form of a woman lying in oulin-e against the mountain. They called it the Sleeping Beauty and it was their belief that Winona lay there sleeping. I can't say as to that but to this day the Sleeping Beauty can be seen resting on the mountain top. -Ricka Claterbos It I! It it E R It it it , SANDY Old Sandy was very hungry. He had gone several days without any- thing to eat. The early winter had driven him down from his favorite haunts on Bird Creek, a month early. Sandy was an old sand colored coyote who had been famous among the farmers of Tyndell. He had peculiar habits, always traveled alone, always avoided tempting traps and contrary to coyote natuiwe, he never hunted in the moonlight. He was always the last to come down from the mountain in the fall and the first to go back in the spring. Each year when the winter had really mt in and his 'lonely Yop! Yop! could be heard on the night winds, the far- mers would say to one another, Old Sandy has come down at last, and ambitions sons would clean and oil their guns to perfection for every year the farmers set a price on Sandy. But each year marked another failure, the amount increased until his pelt was the ambition of all the youths of the vicinity. F As winter won-2 on the farmer's chickens disappeared, lambs were killed but the task seemed hopeless. Many a boy had wasted hour and days with gun and traps with no reward. But one boy never gave up. He the and ous had left his traps out to weather and rust, never approaching them to give tell-tale man scent. Old Sandy had gone several days without food one night, forgetting his usual precaution, he walked down a danger- trail to a farmer's coop and sprung a trap on his fore leg. The trap lain there so long that it had failed to give the warning human scent. For an hour he Worked and pulled and chewed until finally with a snap, he bit his leg in two and painfully wallowed off in the deep snow. With the dawn came the t'Boy and noticing the sprung trap and -blood on the trail, he took his gun and followed the blood trail into the forest. Every mile or so he saw places where Sandy had rested and as the tracks became more fresh, the stops became more frequent until finally he was found lying under a bush, his strength spent, too weak to move at sight of the boy. With one last effort to raise, he jerked forward then lay inert with eyes Hxed. He had lived his life and died unconquered. -Norman Hayes
