me to see her color under that in

the hall door. AS | rose, she lifted her
eyes, saw me, and drove away the
frown of annoyance which came over
her face like the faintest haze. In
fact, it may have existed only in my
imagination. She opened large,
square silver box on the table, took
out a cigarette. lighted it and holding
it, with the smoke laZily curling up

and second fingers Of her white hand,
stood idly turning the leaves of a mag

fireplace The slight sound as it struck
made her jump, and | saw that, under

was in nervous state full as tense as
my own.

Sometimes she replied. 1t is

Chief Meemer Shawgoyreb, Of the

Robinson, OF KALAMAZOO, foy his aid in
securing for the Indians allowances

The chief, who is 80 years OF age, says
that the Indians have decided TO make
q determined fight for what is coming
&c them.
The chief said that maBy years age
the government purchased a part Of
the Pottawatomies' land, located near
Athens, and he claims agreed to pay
The Indians $50 a year. The purchase
included all Of the Indian pennies.

occasion on instant's thought, should
have got on without the least trouble.
1t was with a sigh of profound re-
lief that | sank upon the chair be-
tween Miss Ellersly and Mrs. Lang
don, safe from danger of making
breaks so ] hoped, for the rest of
the evening. But within a very few
minutes / realized that my little mis-
adventure had unnerved me. My
hands were trembling so that | could
scarcely lift the soup spoon to my
lips, and my throat had got so far
beyond control that / had difficulty in
swallowing. Miss IIllersly and Mrs.
Langdon were each busy with the man
on the other side of her; was left to
my own reflections, and | was not sure
whether this made me more or less
uncomfortable. To add to my torment.
| grew angry, with myself ! looked
up and down and cross the big table.
noted all these self-satisfed people
perfectly at their ease and | said to
myself: whats the matter with
you, Matt? They're only men and
women, and by no means the best
specimens of the breed. You've got
more brains than all of 'em put to-
gether, probably; is there one of the
lot that could get job at good wages
if thrown on the world? What do you
Charlevoix county herald., 1906-12-15

damn sight more important what you
think of them, as it won't be many
years before you'll hold everything
they value, everything that makes
them of consequence, in the hollow of
your hand"
When the ladies withdrew, the other
men drew together, talking of people

care about thought then that they
were avoiding me deliberately as a
flock of tame ducks avoids a wild one
that some wind has accidentally blown
down among them. | know now that
my forbidding aspect must have been
responsible for my isolation. How
ever | sat alone, sullenly resisting
old Ellersly's constrained efforts to get
me into the conversation, and angrily
suspicious that Langdon was enjoying
my discontinue more than the cigar
cite he was apparently absorbed in.
Old Ellersly, growing more and
more nervous before my dark and sui
len look, finally seated himself best ;
me. 81 hope you'll stay after the
others have gone" said he. They'll
leave early, and we can have a quiet
smoke and talk"
All unstrung though | was. yet had
the desperate courage to resolve that
I'd not leave, defeated in the eyes of
the one person whose opinion | really
cared about. Very well" said |, in
reply to him.

to the drawing-room, but turned into

beautiful carving of my furniture-I
got nothing from her beyond that hrst
look of surprise and pleasure. Her
face resumed its statuelike calm, her
eyes did not wander. her lips, like
crimson bow painted upon her clear,
white skin, remained closed. She
spoke only when she was spoken to,
and then as briefly as possible. The

was-would have been memorable for
