m for Spirit.
So to-night we light our fire in remembrance of the
Great Spirit who gave you to us."

Then each Guardian called the roll of her Camp Fire, and as each girl's
ceremonial name was called she answered, "Kolah!"

"That means _friend_," someone whispered to Bessie and Zara.

"We are to receive two new members to-night," said Mrs. Chester, then.
"Wanaka, they come in your Camp Fire. Will you initiate them into the
Camp Fire circle?"

Then she sat down, and Wanaka took her place in the centre. Bessie and
Zara understood that it was time for them to step forward, and they
stood out in the dancing light of the fire, which was roaring up now,
and casting its light into the shadows about the circle. All the girls

Bessie came first, and Wanaka turned to her.
