In the centre of the hollow the whitewashed buildings of the Agency, with their rough stockade, and the stores of the Government traders. Almost all the Indians live in tents, and their white teepees can be seen in every direction dot ting the sweeping hillsides. There is about Rosebud a strange sense of remoteness and mournful stagnation. One can scarcely realize that but forty miles away is the railroad, that has pushed like a great wedge into the stillness ; that there is the advance guard o...f a grasping swarm of life spreading like locusts over the land. No whisper, no influ ence for good or for evil comes to these people from that other world that is closing round them to disturb their dull inertness and fatal content. As I walked out at sunset the night of my arrival, the pity of it seemed to oppress me. 22 There seemed a mournful fitness in the cry of a woman wailing for her dead in the neighboring churchyard. There is something indescribably sad in the wailing of these women. In that clear atmosphere I could hear with won derful distinctness the long, plaintive moan, followed by the quick, sobbing catching of breath.
