for her to change her Camp Fire name. "State your reason," said
Nyoda. "If it is a plausible one the change is permissible."

Gladys spoke in a firm, clear voice. "When I was choosing my
name I took 'Kamama the Butterfly' because it was such a pretty
design to put on my dress, and not because it meant anything to
me. I do not wish to be known as 'Kamama the Butterfly' any
longer. If I may, I would like to take the name Geyahi, which
means 'Real Woman.'"

"Your reason is a good and sufficient one," said Nyoda, "and you
may make the change." Then followed the pretty ceremony of
taking a new Camp Fire name. The old one was written on a piece
of birchbark and put in the fire to signify that it was to be in
existence no longer, and as it burned the girls all pronounced
the new name in concert, and promised to forget the old one.
Proudly Gladys displayed her fourteen required honors and her
twenty others, and passed her examination admirably. She stepped
back into the circle a full-fledged Fire Maker, with flushed face
and downcast eyes, her new rank filling her with a great sense of
responsibility.

Nyoda then awarded the special honors for which the girls had
been trying all summer. Sahwah and Nakwisi won the banner for
keeping up the best form on the Hike; Migwan and Hinpoha had made
the best nature count; the Alphas were the best housekeepers and
had planned their menus the most economically; Gladys had learned
the greatest number of birds, flowers and trees; Migwan had
written the most songs. Each girl thus honored felt prouder to
wear the bit of painted leather bestowed upon her than if it had
been a crown jewel.

After the summer honors had all been given out Nyoda rose again
and said there was one more honor to be awarded before the
Council was over, and called on Sahwah to stand. Sahwah rose
wonderingly. "Sahwah the Sunfish," said Nyoda impressively, "on
the thirtieth day of the Thunder Moon you rescued from drowning,
at considerable inconvenience to yourself, the maiden we now know
as Geyahi. Through some mysterious agency which we will not
mention, our good friends, Professor Bentley and Professor
Wheeler, heard of your little escapade, and made it known to a
National Society which takes delight in hearing such tales. This
Society has sent you a little badge for a keepsake. It gives me
great pleasure to bestow upon you this Carnegie Hero Medal 'for
distinguished bravery."'

"A which?" st
