ONCE upon a time, when I was a little boy, my grandfather used to tell me that the Indians sometimes came to his father's house on their way to the great council meeting of the tribe. That was a hundred years ago, when there were still a good many Indians left. They were friendly Indians, and my grandfather and the other boys would gather round them in the long summer evenings and watch them shoot at a mark.

My grandfather's father would speak gravely to the Indian chief, and slowly getting up, would cut a willow wand and split it just far enough to slip a silver shilling into the crack, stick the wand upright in the soft turf, and let the young Indians shoot at it.
