an Reservation

In less than half an hour Hardy's
glasses showed him an answering
smoke on a peak fifteen or twenty
miles distant. When he called attention
to it, the police sergeant pointed out
still another smoke signal off to the
left of the first and several miles far
ther away. The old bucks turned from
the fire and started down to where the
mare and ponies had been left.
"The chiefs VIII come tomorrow"
Redbear interpreted their answer to
Hardy'S inquiry.
The Jaded blackboard ponies were
tugging their load up the slope of the
terrace when Hardy came down the
line of agency buildings at a gallop.
Marie Dupont was driving; but on the
seat beside her was a brOwn-eyed,
Olive-skinned girl, who averted her
handsome face with childish shyness
as Hardy wheeled his mare and reined
ut alongside.
Marie flushed under the officers di-
rect gaze, ShOugh, unlike her cOmpan-
ion, she did nU{ seek to avoid it. He
raised his hat wifi Hunctilious polite
ness. She bowed, and, GTMing back at
him with a level glance, Idietly re-
marked: Good afternoon, Uaptaih
Hardy. have brought your luggage"
THAT was very kind of you," said
Hardy as he glanced at the other girl.
Marie smiled in instant appreciation
of the fact that he had spoken to her
as to an equal. She patted her COM
paniOns wOrk-reddened hand with her
glOved fingers. This is Charlie Red
bears sister Oinna. They did not treat
her well at school, so she ran away to

me; but she says she must be with her

The young girl looked at the new
agent with Il smile of timid appeal, and
as quickly dropped her head in bashful
embarrassment. Hardy's gaze soft
ened, and he answered reassuringly:
'Redbear spoke of his sister. 1t will
be all right"
"YOu are most kind to say it," ap-
proved Marie with the condescension
of gracious young queen. Captain
Hardy, we shall expect you to dine
with us this evening. / shall send over
your luggage in few minutes. You

CHAPTER ~.
The First Gard,

AS Hardy was unpacking his scant
wardrobe, an Indian boy came to the
door, thrust in his head and announced
gutturally;
"Mree him say you come six"
Hardy nodded to the boy and signed
him to go. Ten minutes later he
stepped up on the porch of the Dupont
house. Before he could knock, Du-
pOnt stepped from the rear door of his
trade store, which faced away from the
porch.
Hello, Cap" he greeted the guest
with bluff cOrdiality. "Glad to see you.
Walk right in"
Hardy crossed the threshold and
paused. The floor was covered to re-
semble waxed hardwood. The oriental
rugs were real. The walls were pa
pered with a quiet tapestry pattern.
The adobe fireplace was set with a
modern CRATE and faced with a tile
mantel. The few pictures were well
chosen. There was no sign Of the
guns, skins and Navajo blankets that
Hardy had expected to see.
Vandervyn, lOlling in an easy chair
beside the small, well-filled bookcase,
looked up and smiled in boyish enjoy
ment of the new agents surprise.
Dupont grunted apOlOgetically /:
Don't think I'm plumb crazy. It's all

chuckled Vanderyyn. 'It was Jake who

had to go out on roundup" Dupont

the bucks and squaws who dug the

lot of bad blood. No doubt they in-
stigated the murder They want to

'Let us trust that we shall have

'Fall? echoed Vandervyn. "You ex-
pect to stay all summer? That shuts
me out of my promotion"
'Hou may receive the appointment of
attache."
Perhaps I don't want it just now.
You forget Marie"
The gravity of the officers face hard
ened to sternness. "Mr. Vandervyn,
kindly bear in mind that, as agent Of
this reservation, am in charge Of the
moral as we'll as the material welfare
of every member Of the tribe"
Vandervyn quivered like thorough
bred tleCked with the lash. His voice
shook with passion:
Damn your impudence! I'll have
you understand you're not talking to
one of your rOugh-neck recruits. My
ancestors were gentlemen before yours
were ever heard Of"
Il regret that you do not seem to
have inherited their gentlemanly man
ners," came back the cool rejoinder.
Vandervyn's reddened face went
crimson. The veins of his forehead be-
gan to swell. But with a strong effort
he repressed his anger and forced a
smile. "YOu went me one better, Hardy.
l throw down."
The officer responded with instant
sympathy:
II see no reason why we should not
become friends and work together for
the good of the tribe"
''It's a co." agreed Vandervyn, and as
if cleared of all Ill temper by his out
burst, he began a lively conversation
on official society in the national capt.
tai.
The party topped the rise between
the river and Sioux creek, and rode
down the winding road that skirted its
willOw-fringed bank to the crossing OF
the stream. AS they rounded the spur
ridge on the far side, Redbear rode up
on Hardy's right and pointed to a
small cabin among the Quaking asps
In the mile-wide curve of the stream to
the left.
"See my house, sir" he said.

his fleldglasses at his eyes. "opito

The German soldier does not wear

Why Wood Rots.

Many plans have been devised to
keep wood from rOtting, and the best
means has been found to be the use
of some solution on the wood to be
protected that worms and microbes can

REPORTER PLAYS A
GAME OF HIS own
Brooklyn Scribe Has Woeful
Experience in Boston's
Crooked Streets.
BY GEORGE MARTIN.

tOntteG fTcSS 0tdH SoTFoSPonOcnt'J
Braves Field. Boston, Oct. THE
Brooklyn reporter played the first
game of the world series with Boston
here this afternoon and won in nine
sensational innings. The conflict, play
by play, was as follows:
First inning--The reporter fouled out
to the wrong street car from the hotel.
He was found by policeman, run
ming around in circles. The policeman
famed him but the next time up he
made a home run to telephone and
asked for instructions. After touching
the bases on several streets, he STUN
bled over a monument in the outfield
and decided that Boston must have
been built by snake. One run; no
hits, innumerable errors. (Other half
inning too shocking to mention)
Second inning-Taxicab batted for
the reporter. Taxicab flied to within a
mile and a half of Braves field and
ran out of gas. Chases to spark plug
to carburetor. Reported wanted to put
q long hit to taxicab drivers center
field, but fast fielding by cop prevent
ed. Three halves of run; no hits,
not quite 80 many errors. (Other half
inning not fit to print)
Third inning-Reporter walked, scor-
ing the ticket chopper. Cop threw out
his stomach and wouldn't let reporter
into the press box. National COM
mission sent reporter his credentials,
head clerk to messenger to press box.
Messenger got lost. Cop passed re-
porter without any credentials. This
play was probably one of the most re-
markable of any worlds series-no
runs, one hit (made by the cop with
the reporter), no particular errors. (No
special notes other half.)
Balance of game was just baseball.
The only real way to get around in
Boston is with a box compass and a
thorough knowledge of latitude and
longitude.
Many Boston society women in the
box seat section brought red sox and
put them on, right before the crowd.
The grandstand bans red uniforms
were so fortissimo that the musicians
had hard time blowing loud enough
to be heard. The bleachers chewed
their gum and peanuts in "a A or
6-S times, just according to what the
band happened to be playing. Eating
peanuts to the tune of yankee Doc
