CHAPTER XII.
His DUTY.

AT dawn Hardy was reused by IT.
owa-konza with a greeting as friendly
as it was dignifed, though Hardy had
to surmise it's meaning from the chiefs
expression. Oinna was already out
side, helping with breakfast. While
she served her grandfather and the
guest, Hardy suggested that she go
with him to the mine, where they prob
ably would find Marie and the rest of
the party. Reluctant as was Ti-owa-
konza to part with his half-white
granddaughter, he ordered her pony
brought in and saddled. When she eX-
planned to Hardy that the mine was
only mile away across the mountain,
he declined the offer of a saddleless
mount, took ceremOnious leave of the
old chief and set out up the mountain
side with the girl and a young Indian
guide.
Hardy noted the bearings and dis
tances of all prominent points around
him with the eye of one well trained in
the art of topography. A quarter
hour brought the little party. to the
top of the low mountain. Before them
the far side of the mountain pitched
down steep and rocky incline into
narrow valley. The silent Indian guide
pointed to terrace midway down the
descent. From amidst the pines was
rising a cloud of blue-black smoke.
Soon Oinna pointed out a cabin
among the pines. They were within
fifty yards of it when Vandervyn and
Dupont came out of hole in the cliff
end of a spur-ridge near the cabin, and
stood staring at the newcomers in I'M
disguised establishment. Hardy
swerved and FASTENED toward them,
his eyes bright and cold. The two
men glanced at one another and adj
vanced to meet him halfway.
Dupont was the first to speak: "By
Gar, Cap, we sure are mighty glad to
see you agin all safe and sound
Thought you'd gone and lost yourself
on that cussed mountain. The p'leece
are back there now, looking for you"
"And you two are here, see," dry
ly rejoined Hardy.
II beg your pardon, Captain Hardy,
replied Vandervyn, his eyes flashing
with quick anger 'You told me to go
ahead and guard Marie"
II added for you to send the police
around to flank the assassin"
Vandervyn drew himself up stiffly.
''You have my word, sir, that heard
nothing of that"
"In common decency, you might
have returned TO see what had become
of me-" returned Hardy.
Dupont FASTENED to interpose: "Mr.
Van got the idea you meant US TO rush
Marie through here TO the mine. where
she'd be safe. So we lit out fast as
we could. The piece found your
mare, but lost your trail up in the
rocks. First thing this morning we
sent the whole bunch back to trail
you."
The honest bluffness of Dupont's
tone and his straightforward statement
compelled belief. Hardy nodded.

either of you would trouble to 60 back

at the way they've twice tried to git

"Charlie?" gasped Oinna. You say
oh, Mr.. Dupont, he's not-not-"
"No--buck up" brusqueIy replied
Vandervyn. "He was only nipped
through the arm. He will be all right
in few days"
"All right? O-o-oh, thank your"
sighed tie girl.
In the stress of the moment she for
got that they were not alone. She held
into his face, her soft eyes beaming
with love and alteration.
He frowced, and his voice grated
with harshness: Don't be a fool He's
in the cabin. Miss Dupont is taking
care of him. Go and thank her, not
me-"
Tears gushed into the girls eyes.
She dropped her head and skunk away
as if Vardervyn had struck her.
Hardys face became like iron.
'Mr. Vandervyn," he admonished.
edo not let me again hear you speak
to any woman in that tone"
Vandervyn shrugged. "The chival-
rous chevalier! Have it your own
way. Now 1 suppaae you'll go in and
worry her and rag Charlie into fever
about balling up his Interpretation at
the council"
"As for that" began Hardy. He
stopped short and raised his hat.
Marie had come out of the cabin,
and was Fastening forward to greet
him, her beautiful face radiant.
Captain !" she called. "Yot're here
really here. safe and unhurt!"
Thanks to Miss Redbear," replied
Hardy.
But how could Oinna-surely she
did not help you escape the murder

"No. 1t was easy enough to diSlodge
the fellow. The difficulty was to track
him among those rocks. Soon lost him
and myself ALSO"
"And he escaped to shoot Charlie

"All's we'll that ends WELL" Hardy
assured her. "Pm here, unhurt, as

"a council-here?" queried Wander

"Why not?" demanded Hardy. fix

has been the source of all the recent
trouble on this reservation"

tried to induce him to be more just,

reservation for lying to me-"

clustered Dupont.
1.-THE word is explicit" said Hardy.
"Mr. Vandervyn, take your hand from
your holster. Miss Dupont, / regret
the necessity of making this repri;nand

The girls eyes were ablaze with In
dlgnant anger. Regret is a mild ex-
cuse for insulting my father, sir r.

CHAPTER X-continued.

When Hardy saw the couple ride
ahead, he would have ordered them
back had not Dupont again assured
him that the girl would not be in the
slightest danger at any time during
the trip,
'YOu were not so certain of the
friendlines's of the Indians toward her
the other day." remarked Hardy.
Dupont scratched his head. ''Well,
no, / wasn't, Cap; that's no lie. That
there, though, was different. I'm going
now by what Mr.. Van says about the
feeling in the camps. Wisht I felt as
sure about you"
"Never mind about me. If your
daughter is safe, that is quite suffi-
cient. You say this mine is centrally
located with relation to the various
camps. We will go to it first and en-
deavor to get the tribe to meet us there
in council"
"At the miner" mumbled Dupont.
-'We-e-ll, you're the boss"
The party now entered Sioux Creek
canyon and followed the narrow path
alongside the torrent until they came
to the first small Indian camp. The
Indians met Marie and Vandervyn
with friendly greetings, but looked at
Hardy with stolid concealment of

BODIED i'll for the new agents recep-
ton in the larger camps. Hardy set
his jaw, and ordered the party to start
on into the mountains.
= Noon found the party over twenty
miles from the agency by trail, though
less than half that distance in an air
line. They had come upon no more In
dian camps and had seen no more In
dams. Late afternoon found them far
in among the mountains, with snowy
peaks on every side. Yet they were
still a long ten miles by trail from
Dupont that there was no desirable
camp-site nearer than the mine, Hardy
asked his companion to ride forward
and lrge all to faster pace.
The rest of the party had rounded a
heap of rock that lowered up like a

Vandervyn was about to follow them
out of sight, when the thoroughbred
came to full stop, thirty yards down
the TRAIL at the foot of the steepest
part of the climb. Considerable of the
fact that his tall mount was at a dis
advantage in such situation as COM

did not urge the mare to carry him UP

He paused a moment, waiting to see

with the plan of national preparedness,
recently shipped the necessary equip

year the universities have become
especially active in the work of pre-

with the equipment, most Of which is
the product of the local shops.

Building Committee Of Augustana Sc.
lects Idea Offered by Architect
O. Z. Ceryin.
STRUCTURE WILL COST $4,000
Will Also Serve as a Large Auditor.
ium With Seating Capacity
For 1890.

The building committee appointed
by the board Of directors of Angus
tana college at a recent meeting ex-
amined plans submitted by architects
for the new gymnasium. There were
five sets of plans, one from Rock Is
land, one from Moline, two from Chi
cago and one from Minneapolis. After
looking over various plans and hear
ing architects, the committee unani-
mously selected the scheme presented
by Olof 2. Cervin, as solving most all
Of the problems involved.
These plans provided for a building
80 feet by 140 feet, to be erected at
present, with a future addition in
front, probably 80 feet by 80 feet, to
be built at some later time The pres
ent portion will make complete gym
nasium, and will be erected south of
the present building, and connected
with same, with the main floors on the
same level.
Will Seat 1900.
The big task was to provide for a
building that would serve as a first
class gymnasium and at the same time
for a large auditorium or assembly
hall. With this in view, the architect
presented a plan showing a large
stage at the south end, gallery on
three sides, and running track above
this gallery and extending behind the
stage. The stage will seat 200 or more
singers. The building will seat, in
GLIDING the gallery, 1900. There will
be provided three large entrances from
the north, and four additional fire as-
capes on the other side. 1t Is also
