Her manner was more natural and
quiet than it had been since the
moment of Kafka's appearance in
the cemetery. The Wanderer noticed
the tone There was an element of
real sadness in it, with leaven of disap-
pointment and SAVIOR of heartfelt contri
ton. She was in earnest now, as she had
been before, but in different way. He
could hardly refuse her word in answer.
"Unorna," he said, gravely, remember
that you are leaving me no choice. / cannot
leave you alone with that poor fellow. and
So whatever you wish to say, must hear.
But it would be much better to say nothing
about what has happened this evening
better for you and me. Neither men
nor women always mean exactly what they
say. We are not angels. Is it not best to
let the matter dropl"
Unerna listened quietly, her eyes upon
his face.
"You are not so hard with me as you
were,'' she said, thoughtfully, after a mo
ment's hesitation, and there was touch Of
gratitude in her voice. As she felt the dim
possibility of a return to her former rela-
lions Of friendship with him, Beatrice and
the scene in the church seemed to be very
far away Again the Wanderer found it
difficult to answer.
1T is not for me to be hard, as you call
it, he said quietly. There was scarcely

INDIAN PROBLEM.
AN OPINION THAT IN A SHORT
TIME 1T WILDE
Solved Upon q Satisfactory Basis-How 1t
VIII Come About-Some
Tribal Peculiarities.
SALTWATER, Q. t, May 6, 1891.

SALTWATER, y. L, May D, 1871
Editor Gazette
A novel feature yet to be found in all por-
tons Of Oklahoma is the close and imIne-
date proximity of the white mans civili-
cation and the Indians semi-barbarism.
There are very few places in the whole
territory where the Indian in his blanket
and moccasins may not be seen at almost
any time. But little more than two years
have passed since this req ion emerged from
primeval wildness to a high civilization
and dense populat'o ns in a day; and though
now, within region little larger than two
of the average counties in Texas,
there are mora than sixty thousand peo-
pie, yet the wave of progress has not swept
from sight the natives of the country. The
reservations of more than dozen tribes or
remnants of such border on the frontiers Of
Oklahoma, and the stoEd face Of the abo-
rhymes is familiar to her inhabitants.
In observing the Indians character and
studying his nature, nothing so deeply i'm
presses one as the tenac.ty with which he
clings to his ancient customs and habits.
The blanket furnished by the Great Father"
has indeed superseded the covering of skins,
but it is worn Just as the latter were 400
years ago; and the moceasin and leggings
are still worn as in the days of Columbus.
While it Is true that many who are
not full-blooded have adopted the dress and
manners of white men, yet the full-blooded
Indian clings to his ancient garb IS sacred
tradition. All born into the tribe who are
not in any degree mixed with any other
race are denominated '.fu,l-bloods," while
all who are in any wise mixed with another
race are called ''ha1- bloods." The latter in
many instances cannot be distinguished
from persons wholly white. They form the

man of the Wanderers character
cannot help feeling u sort of chIval-
,ous respect and delicate forbearance for
woman who loves him sincerely, though
against his WILL while he will avoid with
almost exaggerated prudence the least word
which could be interpreted as an express
sion of reciprocaltend He runs the
risk, at the same time, of being thrust into
the rediculons position of a man who,
though young, assumes the manner and
speech of age, and delivers himself of
crave, paternal advice to one who looks
upon him, not as an elder, but as her
chosen mate.
After Unorna had spoken, the Wanderer,
therefore, held dis peace. He inclined his
head little, as though to admit that her
plea of madness might not be wholly i'm
but he said nothing. He sat look
ing at Israel kafka's sleeping face and out
stretched form, inwardly wondering
whether the hours would seem very long
before Keyork Arabian returned in the
morning and put an end to the situation.
Unorna waited in vain for some response,
and at last spoke again.
Yes" she said, Il was mad! You can
not understand it. l daresay you cannot
even understand how l can speak of it now,
and yet l cannot help speaking"

oh, no. Not that!''
DO not talk like that, Unorna," he said.
s'Be Just first''
What is justice2' she asked. Then she
turned her head away again. of you knew
what justice means for me you would not
ask me to be just. You would be more
merciful.''
You exaggerate-" he spoke kindly, but
she interrupted him.
''No. You do not know. that is all And
you can never guess. There is only one
man living who could imagine such things
as have done and tried to do. He is
heyork Arabian. But he would have been
wiser than l, perhaps"
She relapsed into silence. Before her
rose the dim altar in the church, the
shadowy figure Of Beatrice standing up in
the dark, the horrible sacrilege that was to
have been done. Her face grew dark with
fear Of her ewn soul. The Wanderer went
so far as to try and distract her from her
gloomy thoughts, out of pure kindness Of
heart.
II am no theologian, :" he said, t'but fancy
that in the long run the intention goes for
moro than the act''
''The intentional she cried, looking back
with start.
With shudder she buried her face in
her two hands, pressing them to her eyes
as though to blind them from some awful
sight Then, with, = short struggle, she

Literary Fad. . Hundred Year. Ago.

One might suppose that the period in
which we now live has some pretensions to
originality in its literary fads at least. But
here is q century old newspaper declaring
that ~ ,0T3 novels are now in the press
from the pens Of young ladies of fashion"
In spite OF the hyperbole. it is quite evil
dent that novel writing was positively cpl
demic. cat Mrs. DIS school," says The
Times, "all the young ladies write novels
in the fourth class" It might be some
consolation to the literary pessimist to dis
cover something in proof of the assump-
ton that the present generation is the
most irreverent in history, but here is The
Post "a few years earlier asking: What is
Jenny Boswell about? Where is his
Life and Letters OF the great lexicograph-
er, the Atlas Of obscure sentiment and
pompous phraseology." We are not even
original in condemning the redundancy Of
Johnson.-Harpsr's Bazaar.

CHAPTER XIII.

The Wanderer was not inclined to deny
the statement, which accorded well enough
with his total disbelief of the story Unorna
had told him. But he did not answer her
Immediately, for he found himself in very
difficult position. He would neither do any
thing in the least discourteous, beyond ad-
hitting frankly that he had not believed
her. when she taxed him with Incredibly;
nor would say anything which might serve
her as a steppingstone for returning 10 the
original situation. He was, perhaps, in
clined to blame her somewhat less than at
first, and her changed manner in speaking
of kafka somewhat encouraged his leni-
ency \ man will forgive. or at least con-
done, much harshness to others when he is
thoroughly aware that 1t has been
exhibited out of love for himself; and
