HOMECOMING
Again I step into my little light canoe and skim swiftly away from the paleface world a-down the shining river to beach my craft where the trodden path between the pine tells that Redfeather is not .Hone to-night. A silver light is shining on the swift-flowing waters, for Harvfest Moon has also paused in the shadow of the Totem Pole. A clear steady light burns in the east as Red Star nears the tepee of her Chief, and hist: a soft rustling of the leaves tells that Twinklefoot is with us. A great wind sweeps from the sea, singing its song of the sands and the dancing waves, and Flying Cloud is at my side. . . . How wide the sky that slretcnes overhead, how long the line of pines, and yet we seek one path from which we have no faint desire to stray, for surely when we have turned the last bend, passed the last tall tree, we shall see the "Wigwam of Reafeathei v*ith the flap of the tepee thrown back that we may glimpse our welcome from afar. . . . —Little Swift Canoe.
