Tell him that he Is mistaken. The
soldiers have always been the best
friends Of the Indians. I find that,
after next spring, no more food and
goods are to be issued to the tribe.
Sooner or later, white men will come
and take the ore II the Indians do not
dig 1t themselves. Another thing,
believe the tribe should agree to the
dividing up Of their land, so that each
head OF family can have his own
farm and work 1t after the manner Of
the white men. Other tribes have done
this, and they are NO longer poor"
Redbear hesitated. stepped more
aside from Hardy, and began to pour
out torrent Of Lakotah. He had spo-
ken only few sentences when a wave
of agitation passed over the semicircle
OF Indians. Blankets slipped down
from copper-red shoulders; fierce eyes
glared menacingly at Hardy. Several
Of the more excitable bucks leaped up
with bow and rife In hand.
Hardy thrust out from among the
police and raised his hands to TI-owa-
konza in the peace sign. The head
chief called to his fellows and turned
his back upon the agent with deliber-
ate contempt. All the others faced
about and followed him to the waiting
ponies. The band mounted and rode
of up the valley In morose silence.

! Redbear spoke slowly to the Indians,
his manner not unlike that Of q man

with a lighted torch. There was no
explosion, but the old head chief fared
with unmistakable anger. He replied
with q fiery defamation that won

"The chief is not angry" he said.

II white men have done any wrong to
the tribe, I shall stop the wrongdoing.
II there are any members of the tribe
kwho are doing wrong, the chiefs should

This time Redbear did not hesitate.
He faced the assembly and rolled out
q flood of Lakotah with desperate ra-
pidity. Almost Immediately T-owa-
konza rose to reply, his face ablaze
with indignation, his voice impassioned.
When he had spoken, he remained
standing.

Hardy to Vandervyn, who was nodding
reassuringly. HE says he Is trying to
