But as the story went on his eyes be-
gan to smile.
And what is your fair rebels name
asked the general, when his good humor
was fully returned. you don't mean
to say you let a pretty Virginia girl
feed and shelter YOU and send you back
to camp on her horse and never ask ed
her name.
WELL we will have to see that the
father of such a fine girl gets back all
right" he continued. Take this note
to the captain, of the troops and tell
him to bring back with him Lieut..
Lawrence washington-that is her
fathers name. the girl writes in this
note r.a-. .-. ....
A moment more and the troop was
trotting away. but the captain had the
order for Mr.. Washington's release
tight in his pocket. All morning the
boy rubbed and curried Dixie. And by
noon she shone like satin. Before noon
there was a blast Of bugles and back to
camp came riding the troop. and first
among the Confederate prisoners was

riding on Dixie. Mr.. Washington set
out for his own home. where he. was
happily welcomed the next morning by
his daughter and wife.
The war was over. and it was summer
again down in old Virginia. Miss
George Washington stood by the same
rail fence she had been seated on five
years before. Only she was now a tall.
handsome girl OF seventeen.
Down the road came a hOrsenan gal
Looping. He stopped just before the girl
and sprang Off.
"Oh. you are my Yankee scout" ex-
claimed George. delightedly.
And you are my little rebel friend"
laughed the boy. now a big fellow with
a captains uniform.
So they strolled up TO the house
where Mr.. Washington welcomed them.
And this was Captain Burton's second
visit, but not his last, for there Is still
a big farm down the Potomac. and on
the wall OF the dining-room hang a
Union sword and a Confederate flag. for
George became the wife of the boy she
had helped.

drawn up ready to be marched

company rode the captain, who had
list Of those Confederates who were TO
be sent back South in exchange for
some Union soldiers. who would be a.
lowed to return North.
The boy ran up to the Generals tent.

But the General left word he was not

orders are orders-you cannot 60 In.
The boy was silent. He had no very
important news about the enemy, but
the note must be delivered before the
troop started. else there was no way
of sending for the father OF the little
Southern girl.
He must see the General at once. 1t
would not do to let this chance slip
by. for there might not be another ex-
change Of prisoners for year. He
thought of the slender. girlish figure In
the brown gingham and the pink bon
net hanging down over the tangled
curlst-hen his mind wandered to the
amazed look In the blue eyes at the
sight of a harmless Northern-to the
nap in the hay, to the hot supper OF
cornbread and ham. and to the pony
which now stood waiting his return
nearby. =,
And every, time his mind flashed
over the picture he smiled at the idea
OF his never having asked the girl
her name.
But / must see the General right

the guard as he shOuldered his gun

cent and shook the sleeping man.

sitting up in bed. Il thought I

Il have disobeyed your ORDER re-
turned the boy in trembling voice.

And he poured out the story Of his

One Of the most novel railways IN

The Graham Investigation.

In spite of the denials and addi-
tional charges which have been
flying about since the Graham COM
conditions at White Earth, two facts
stand out clearly. The Indians were
dcf'auded of their timber and at pres
ent they are in a pitiable physical
condition.
There is not much use in trying to
get back timber that has been lumber
for many years, but if there is any
way congress can punish the lumber
companies and individuals who plot
ted the downfall of the Indians and
by collision robbed them Of their
hirthright, no stone should be left
unturned to bring them to bar.
At the same time some steps should

are in want and suffering; to estab-
lish hospitals and provide medical
treatment for those who are diseased
and have no money with which to
buy medicines. 1t is the fault of
congress and the Indian department
that the Indians were robbed of their
heritage and congress must make
amends.
Ever since the white man has been
in Minnesota, the Ojibway has been
his friend and the Sioux his enemy.
Yet the whites have despoiled both
peoples-the Ojibways even more
than the Sioux. The treatment of the
Indians is blot on the scutcheon.
The Graham investigation should not
be allowed to die natural death.
