side she haf-covered her face-disfgured with beef

a single question in English which, as the agent
knew she could speak with exceptional huency.
Determined to learn something of her, inter

she spoke, in Sioux, and still sullenly

of time in her life-Nelie had stood before men of
a different civilization and begged permission to
live her life out in that civilization. She clothed
then as YOUR daughter or mine might have been in
like place or time-soberly but neatly and un-
obtrusively. Now, beneath the blanket was the
usual blue shirt decorated with the eye-teeth of
elk, the cheap cloth leggngs fringed with tawdry
dyed horsehair, the broad leather belt studded
with brass tack-heads, the stockingess feet in
moccasins, the braided greasy hair parted by pig
ment streak in vivid blue.
Two months later, the agent heard of her mar
rage to Bad-Hip, half-blood of most unsavory,
not to say murderous, repute. She fled with him
when the Indian police sought him for some par
