90 Woodcraft Mantud for Girls and at the third or last (rising higher each time) finally is just about to let go when a noise out to one side suddenly attracts her attention. She turns quickly to realize that close at hand is a band of her tribal enemies and that s^ is in a trap. Her ex- pression of triumfA chances to fear. She shrinks to the ground and swiftly runs away tillat the exit there she turns, and, fling- ing back a defiant yell, shakes her spear at the foes and it loat to view. A kmg drum roll doaes the scene. The Fire-Fly Dance (Music by Frances Densmore) This should be played in an open space at night or late enough in the evening to insure a dhn hght. The fire-flies are ten to thirty in any costume, each bearing a stick that is afire, but not blazing. If played indoors, dim little candle-lamps on sticks could be used, and in any case out of doors it would be well to have prepared torches of fire-holding punk which can be bought of fireworks dealers, or made by soaking rotten wood hi saltpetre sdution. This can be carried in a split stick. In some cases electric lamps might serve. The fire-flies come in, making many dazzhng and beautiful figures of fire. They dance and evolute, waving their tordies. A good figure is made by all standing in a circle and each re- volving his torch overhead in an upright circle; another, by every other one zigzagging it up and down like lightmng. TTie best singer stands in the centre and sings, using either me tune of Jingle Bells," the music given below, or the tune of "The Spider and the Fly," given at the end <rf the dance.
