CHAPTER VIII.

l
Good Indian came out upon the
rim-rock, and looked down upon
the ranch beneath him, when his
arm was caught tightly from be-
hind. He wheeled about and con-
fronted Rachel.
"You 60 quick" she murmured
gravely. "Ketchum you cayuse,
go to ranch. You no tellum you
be this place."
Good Indian stood still and
looked at her. She stood with
her arms folded in her blanket,
regarding him with certain
wearing steadfastness.
You all time think why" she
said, shrewdly reading his
thoughts, 81 no take shame. 1
glad. Bad mans no more try for
shoot you, mebbyso."
Good Indian reached out, and
caught her by both shoulders.
"Rachel-if you did that, don't
tell me about it." He spoke in
the grip of his first impulse to
shield her from what she had
done.
You no glad? You think
shame for me? You think all
time-very-bad!" Tragedy was
in her voice, and in her great,
dark eyes. Good Indian gulped.
mo, Rachel. l don't think
that. | want to help you out of
this, il | can, and | meant that IL
you didn't tell me anything about
it, why-I couldn't know any
thing about it. You sabe?"
Il sabe.' Her lips curved into
pathetic little smile. You know
for why, me thinkum. All time
Man-that-coughs try for shootum
you. All time l try for" She
broke off to stare questioningly
up into his face. 81 no tell, you
no like for tell" she said quietly.
"All same, you 60"
Good Indian turned, yielding to
the pleading of her eyes. The
heart of him ached DULY with the
weight of what she had done, and
with an uneasy comprehension of
her reason for doing it. But there
was nothing that he might say to
her. 1t was not words that she
wanted.
Evadna rallied him upon his
moodiness at breakfast, pouted a
little because he remained preoc-
cupied under her teasing, and lat
err was deeply offended because
he would not tell her where he
had been, or what was worrying
him.
Saunders died that same morn
ing. The coroner and sheriff were
sent for and inspected the stable
and its vicinity, looking for clews.
At the inquest that afternoon
the sheriff laid upon the table a
battered old revolver of cheap
workmanship and long past it's
prime, and testified that he had
found 1t ten feet from the stable
door, and that one shot had been
fired from it.
The coroner showed the bullet
which he had extracted from the
body of Saunders, and fitted it
into the empty cartridge which
had been under the hammer in
the revolver, and thereby proved
to the satisfaction of everyone
that the gun was intimately con-
nected with the death of the man.
So the jury arrived speedily and
without further fussing over evil
dence, at the verdict of suicide.
Good Indian looked in the ham,
mock, but Evadna was not there.
He went around to the milkhouse,
where was a humble of voices.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1916-07-28
GOOD INDIAN s' i: ;;;:'

And, standing in the doorway
with her Aunt Phoebe, he saw
her.
She was facing courageously
the three inseparables, Hagar, vi
ney and Lucy, and she was speak.
ing her mind rapidly and angrily
Good Indian knew that tone oil
old, and he grinned. Also he
stopped by the corner of the house
and listened shamelessly.
THAT is not true" she was
saying very clearly. you're a
bad old squaw and you tell lies.
Don't you mind a word she says
Aunt Phoebe"
Hagar shook her head violent
ly, and her voice rose shrill and
malicious.
."Ka-a-ay bueno, yo'!" Her
teeth CRASHED together upon the
words. II no tellum lie. Good
Injun him kill Man-that-coughs.
/ go tell sheriff mans Good In
dian killum Man-that-coughs. |
tell UNI"
why didn't you, then, when
the sheriff was in Hartley"
Evadna flung at her angrily.
II you know Ats a lie.
That's why"
"Yo' thinkum Good Injun love
yo', mebbyso." Hagar's black
eyes sparkled with venom. "Yo'
heap fool. Good Injun go all
time Squaw-talk-far-off. Love
Squaw-talk-far-off. No love yo'."
Don't you listen to her honey"
1t was Phoebe's turn to resassure.
Good Indian took a step for
ward, his face white with rage.
so you've got to call me a
murderer" he cried, advancing
threateningly upon Hagar. And
even that doesn't satisfy you.
You"
Evadna rushed up the steps
like a crisp little whirlwind, and
caught his arm tightly in her two
hands.
Grant! We don't believe a
word of it, You couldn't do a
thing like that. Don't we know?
Don't pay any attention to her.
We aren't going to-" She was
speaking in a torrent of trepida-
ton lest he break from her and
do some violence which they
would all regret. She did not
know what he could do, or would
do, but the look of his face fright
ened her.
Old Hagar grinned maliciousIy
"Yo' tellum me shont-isham.
Mebbyso yo' tellum yo' no ketch-
UNI Squaw-talk-far-off in sage
brush, all time Saunders go dead!
Me ketchum hair-Squaw-talk-
far-off hair. You like for see, You
thinkum me tell lies?" .
From under her blanket she
thrust forth a greasy brown hand,
and shook triumphantly before
them a tangled wisp of woman's
hair-the hair of Miss George,
without a doubt.
"If you've said all you want to
say, you better CO." Good Indian
told her after a moment of silence
while they glared at each other.
II won't touch you-because
you're such devil l couldn't stop
short of killing you, once | laid
my hands on you."
Whey and Lucy shrank from
the tone of him, and, hiding Sheir
faces in a fold of blanket, skunk
silently away. Even Hagar drew
back a pace, hardy as was her un-
tanned spirit, and waddled after
the others.
There's nothing on earth can
equal the malice of an old
squaw," said Phoebe, breaking
into the silence which followed.

Peaceful Returns.

Peaceful Returns.
That afternoon when the four
thirty-five slid to a painting halt
beside the station platform,
Peaceful Hart emerged from the
smoker, and nodded through the
open window to Miss George. Be-
hind him perspired Baumberger.
"Howdy, Miss Georgie?" he
wheezed, as he passed the win
dow. Ever see such hot weather
in your life never did"
Miss George glanced at him
while her fingers ratified her key,
and it struck her that Baumber-
ger had lost a good deal of his
oily amiability since she saw him
last. She gave him a nod cool
enough to lower the thermometer
several degrees, and leaned for
ward so that she could see Peace
full just turning to go down the
steps.
ooh, Mr.. Hart! Will you wait
minute?" she called clearly above
the putting of the engine. I've
something for you here. Soon as
| get this train out" She saw
him stop and turn back to the
office and let it go at that for
the present.
81 sure have got my nerve"
she observed mentally, when the
wheels were beginning to clank.
But she smiled at him brightly,
and waited until Baumberger had
gone numbering with rather un-
certain steps to the store.
II lied to you, Mr.. Hart, she
confessed, engagingly. II haven't
a thing for you except a lot of
questions. I'm not just curious,
you know. I'm horribly anxious.
I've been waiting to have a little
talk with you, and / simply
couldn't let the opportunity go
by" She talked fast, but she was
thinking faster, and wondering If
this calm, white-bearded old man
thought her meddlesome fool.
You just about swear by old
Baumberger, don't your" she be-
gan presently, fiddling with her
lead pencil and going straight to
the heart of what she wanted to
say.
We'll, l dunno. I've kinda
learned to fight shy OF swearing
by anybody, Miss George" His
mild blue eyes settled attentively
upon her flushed face,
i That's some encouragement,
anyhow" she sighed. Because
he's the biggest old "blackguard in
Idaho and more treacherous than
any Indian ever could be If he
tried. I'm certain as I can be of
anything, that he's at the bottom
of this placer claim fraud, and
he's Just digging your ranch out

81 do hope she don't go around
peddling that story-not that any
one would believe 1t, but"
Good Indian looked at her, and
at Evadna. He opened his lips for
speech, and closed them without
saying 81 word. That near he came
to telling them the truth about
meeting Miss George, and ex-
planning about the hair Hagar had
prated about. But he thought of
Rachel, and knew that he would
never tell anyone, not even Evad-
ma, SO he only laughed and caught
her by the arm.
Come on over to the ham,

the arrogance of a lover. Were
making that old bag altogether
too important, 1t SENS to me.
Come on, Goldilocks-we haven't
had real satisfying sort of scrap
for several thousand years.
