There was something In his voice
that not only swept the last film of
sleep out of Beverieys brain, but made
It perfectly clear to him that a very
important bit Of craftiness was being
performed. Just what its nature was,
however, he could not slrnise. One |
hing was obvious. Long Hair did not |
wish the other Indians to know of the |
move he was making. Deity be

Under such circumstances compe-

Beverley now understood that Long

Again 1t was necessary for Bever-

ring the whole pack bowling to the
,scue. Something told him to do as
