 were given up to story teUing, and many of the tales told 

 in the lodge and by the flickering camp-fire were carefully 

 translated and written down. When published they excited 

 gi'eat interest. They are tales of daring and adventure, weird 

 accounts of magic, mystery and the supernatural; relations 

 of the ways of life in the old, wild days; stories of war and

 by the very old men. There is mother-wit in these stories,
