ginning. They waited in silnce for
one hour, fifteen minutes and five
and three-quarter seconds, when sud-
denly a great light was flashed over

instant a E''< at mirror was flashed
in lta place. Oaa by one the girls
creeped near to the mirror and each
saw portrayed upon the glass the
form, face and figure of a man. His
image was impressed indelibly upon
her mind, and thereafter Bhe sought
for a hero, a husband, who looked
like the man In the mirror. Those
girlB were Indians and the story is
told among the tribes that each was
married to a man whose Imag« she
