But when they reached the hall
they found it crowded by a goodly
portion of the garden party; it had
commenced to rain, and from amidst
the group Mr.. Philip Dyce came
forward to the bottom of the stairs.

THE INDIAN CITIZEN.
He is Fast Fitting Himself for
Citizenship.

There are now in the United States,
exclusive OF Alaska, 100000 INDIANS.
OF these about 10000 wear citizens
dress and $4,000 a mixture OF Indian
and civilized clothing. About 10000
can read. and about 10000 can carry
on al ordinary conversation in English
The reports show that there are
80. 106 Indian children in government,
mission and contract schools, and
probably 10000 more in the public or
tribal schools maintained by the
Cherokees, Creeks, Choctaws and
Chickasaws There is increased in
terest in Indian schools, particularly in
Indian Territory.
However, under existing laws, all
the tribal governments will cease to
exist on March 4, 1906, and thereafter
tribal appropriations for schools will
be discontinued. There will be no
state or territorial school system TO
take the place of the tribal schools,
and for a time Indian Territory viii be
left practically without means of edu,
cation outside of incorporated towns.
Action by congress is needed to keep
open the 500 day schools for white
and Indian children and the sixty sep
arate schools for Negroes in the Five
Nations.
The policy of the Indian depart
ment. as outlined in the report of Com
missioner Francis E. Leupp, is not to
make over the Indian into a white
man, but tC improve his condition as
an Indian and prepare him for MS
duties in civilized life and as a citiz en-.
1t has been assumed by many that,
as an Indian cannot be naturaiized, he
cannot become a citizen. This does
not follow. The general allotment acJ
of 1887 provides that every Indian
born within the territorial limits of the
United States to whom allotment
shall have been made under the pro
visions of that act or under any law or
treaty. and every Indian born with
in the territorial limits of the United
States who has voluntarily taken up
within these limits his residence sep
arate and apart from any tribe OF
Indians and has adopted the habits o.
civilized life shall be citizen of the
United States and entitled to all the
rights, privileges, and immunities OF
such citizens"
The allotment system has been ac
cepted by a majority of the Indiar
Others have complied with the coudl-
tons of the law by adopting the hab-
its of civilized life. The way is open
to others to take similar action and to
become citizens. Therefore the ques.
ton of citizenship is in the hands of
the Indians themselves.
1t is admitted that the transition
from tribal relations to those of the
citizen to a state or territory will not
be accomplished without difficulty, but
it is also admitted that the sooner the
tribal relation is broken up the better
will It be for the Indians 1t is ey-
pected that the Indian will remain an
Indian. but that he will make steady
advance in civilization

CHAPTER X.

Having seen Lord Beaumont
through his accident, it would, per-
haps, be only fair to follow the actual
hero of the affair.
Cyril Kingsley strobe quickly
through the wood, almost as if he
feared being called back, though it is
very certain that, if he had been so
called, he would not have returned.
But when he had reached the lane
that led to the village he slackened
his pace, and proceeded more slowly
and thoughtfully. The nature OF his
reflections it would have been diff
ficult TO CLEAN from the expression OF
his face, but he looked extremely
serious-as if he were tryi-e to solve
some intricate problem One might
have imagined from his knitted
brows. that he half-regretted having
rescued Lord Beaumont from watery
grave but it was not so. Cyril
Kingsley was the sort of man to risk
his life quite willingly for dog or a
horse, much more a man. The direc-
ton of his thoughts might have been

natural than that they should fall in

with a something that was half sigh
and half a groan, he set off again at
a tremendous pace.
Presently, he came to small gro'.9
of cottages that formed the entrance
to the village. At the gate of one OF
these cottages stood a girl. 1t was

That one planteth and another reap
eth has been strkingly illustrated in
the successful voyage which Capt.
Roald Amundsen and his eight men
have made through the Northwest pass
age, for he has only followed the route
known to exist by reason of the dis
coveries of Sir John Franklin, in lS47.
Bat Notwithstanding the fact that
Amundsen has not made an original
discovery, his feat in taking the first
vessel through the channel from Baf-
fin bay TO Behring straits is none the
less remarkable, for it took boldncss to
conceive and courage to attempt, and
good luck born of persistent watChful
effort to accomplish what FOR the past
800 years the most strenuous efforts of
arctic explorers has failed to do.
In addition to his bringing his
stanch little ship, the Gjoa-a sloop Of
Il tons. 20 feet long. 20 foot beam and
propelled by a small petroleum engine

taut observations which it is believed

In this area Amundsen spent nearly
two years. tns last magnetic work
