of suppressing these Indians.
While the policy of the government
to put army officers in charge of the
Indian reservations as agents was car
ried out with the Navahoes, Lieut..
Plummer was the first army man to
hold this office as agent for the Nava-
hoes and Hopi. AS soon as he knew
the facts in Musha's case he laid them
before the Indian commissioner. Later,
when Capt. Constant Williams took his
place, the subject was again taken up,
and this time by man determined
that the Indian should have his rights.

adjudicated before the court which
was held at Flagstaff, and the claim of

Brave Army officer.
Especial Arizona letter.

Up In the northea stern corner of
" Arizona, just on the borders of
the Navajo Indian reservation,
lives an old Indian known to his people
and the whites alike as Musha. The
poor old fellow is crippled in both legs
with rheumatism, or some similar COM
plant, go that for years he has been
unable to straighten out his limbs.
Even when he rides on the back of his

most pathetic appearance. But he is
not doleful by any means. No matter
when you meet him, he greets you
with a CHEEKY "Yat-a hay" and a
bright smile, and will always stop and
joyfully accept IA pinch of tobacco and
a cigarette paper as an evidence of
good will.
Musha S life has been an eventful one,

acts of meanness and treachery that
exemplify the too common treatment
the Indian has met with at the hands
of the whites. One day got him to tell

air of wounded generosity, which made
profound impression upon me. In
effect it was as follows:
Many long years ago when he was a
young man he had already gained pow
er amongst his people, the Navahoes,
by his warlike skill and daring cour-
age. He had been granted all the springs
and pasturage in large territory, a
portion of which he still retains. He
had horses, sheep and goats, and in
several places good-sized fields of corn.
He was well to do and prosperous. and
in all great councils of his people his
voice was listened to as that of wise
and successful man.

Barbara had not been in the house
half an hour before she was deeply
in love with the lady of it. After an
hour had passed she was astonished
at Mrs. Vane's knowledge OF human
nature and her grasp of the subject Of
servants and housekeeping problems
generally.
"People will tell you, my dear, that
am an eccentric old lady with good
many crank notions about servants.
The fact is, try to treat them just
as Christ taught us to do. That's the
reason folks call me queer. People
that try to do the Christlile thing
in all relations of life have always
been called queer, and always will be"
When Barbara finally went away
after refusing an urgent invitation te
remain to tea, she had made an ar
rangement with Mrs. Vane to meet
with her and Mrs. Ward and friend
of both, to talk over some practical
plan for getting the servants and the
housekeepers together for a mutual
conference.
"If anything is done," Mrs. Vane in
sisted, at must be done with both
| parties talking it over in spirit of
Christian love 1t never can be solved

was two weeks from that afternoon,
and Barbara went back to her work
quite enthusiastic over the future and
very much in love with the woman who
was known to most of the members Of
Marble Square church as "that eccen-
trio Mrs. Vane."
The two weeks had gone by quickly,
and Thursday noon at dinner in the
Ward house Barbara was surprised to
find, when she came in to serve the
first course, that Alfred Ward had I'M
expectedly arrived. He had spent two
months of his summer vacation with
college classmates on the lakes, and
had returned sooner than his mother
had expected, to stay until the term
opened again.
Arthur, this Is Miss Clark, about
whom have written you." Mrs. Ward
said, little awkwardly.
The young man looked at her with
interest, and bowed politely. Barbara
returned his bow simply, and did not
speak. She felt little annoyed as
the meal proceeded and she was called
family was talking about her, and that
the college student had been asking
questions. Several times she was con-
scious that he was looking at her. 1t
vexed her, although his look was al
ways respectful.
The meal was almost over when Mrs.
Ward suddenly asked his wife: 20,
have you-heard, Martha, that DR.. Law
had stroke yesterday? Very sud-
den. 1t will result i'll his leaving Mar
BILE Square pulpit"
"No! How sudden! What will the
church do?"
Mr.. Ward was silent a moment. Bar
bara was just going out. She slack
ened her step almost unconsciously.
II have no question they will call
Norton"
"Will he Gomez"
II think he will"
"Good!" said Alfred.
"Yes, Morton will be success in
Marble Square pulpit" Mr.. Ward said,
positively.
Barbara went out, shutting the
kitchen door. She did not hear Mr..
Ward say: IF Morton goes on as he
has begun, he will become one of the
greatest preachers this country ever
saw
ITO he continued
