"fifbu’ re too pretty to say things like
that." he told her.

a voice from the darkness.

HEARD IN ESKIMD COUNTRY

Pelletler and Companions Were Sun.
prised to Hear People Answer ;
Them in English.

On the morning of August it, in
the been of the unoxploted (ountIy‘
along lievetly lake, occuncd an incl
dent which goes to prove that even
the most sensational happenings of
a modern novel are not beyond the
bounds of reason. (in this morning
the little exploring party came and-
denly upon an Eskimo village 500
miles from Hudson's bay. All Polls-
tier and his companions approached
the shore the Eskimo men._women,
and. children rnn dowu to meet them,
and Walker called out “Chime! Chi-
Inoi” which is the usual form of
greeting when meeting these people.

They were much surprised by hear:
ing a “Good morning!" in answer.
and Walker expressed his astonish-
ment by exclaiming “Iloly smoke!"
to which the native who had spoken
replied very fervently: “Yes. we will
smoke." The mystery was soon
cleared up. Years before, It man
called “Lucky" Moore had accompa-
nied Hanbury on his long voyage to
the Arctic coast. lie disappeared.
and it was thought that he was dead.
In place of this. however. Lucky
Moore had made himself a chief of
the Eskimos, who called him limer-
rub. and had gradually induced his
tribe to come down truth» and farth-
er inland. Lucky Moorc had made
himself thoxoughly acquainted with
this unknown country. and told Pelle-
tler that in a distance of 500 miles
east and west there was only one
other camp besides his own. The ex-
plorers found this camp at. the foot
