granting writ of habeas corpus for the de-
livery of an Indian child to its parents,
against the wish of a Presbyterian institu-

her to walk barefooted. When she allowed
her to enter tho Institution she did it be-
cause she wanted her to learn how to make

the father wanted his child back She
heard the words Of the judge, who gave
back her heart, and they sounded in her ears
like running water At nighttime she
could still hear them until she fell asleep.
