In less than half an hour Hardys

smoke on a peak fifteen or twenty
miles distant. When he called attention
to 1t. the police sergeant pointed out
sun another smoke signal of to the

Redbear interpreted their answer to
Hardy's inquiry.
The 5aded blackboard ponies were
tugging their load up the slope of the
terrace when Hardy came down the
line of agency building. 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 refined
up alongside.
Marie flushed under the officers d.
rect gaze, though, unlike her compan-
lon, she did not seek to avoid 1t. He
raised his hat with punctilious polite
ness. She bowed, and, gazing back at
him with level glance, quietly re-
marked: "Good afternoon, Captain
Hardy. Ihave 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

gloved fingers. ''This is Charlie Red

proved Marie with the condescension

Between the girls vivid beauty, the
good cheer, and the cordially Of his
companions, his usually half-sad and
wholly severe expression had given
place to genial animation.
Upon the return Of the hostess from
one of her visits to the kitchen he
spoke to her in a tone that drew a
stare of open resentment from Van
dervyn: "You are wonderful, Miss Du-
pont, wonderful! One day in an In
dian attack, followed by a fifty-mile
drive; the next, fifty miles back, and
such dinner as this!"
"First the great-granddaughter Of

"Yet you must be fatigued." tr.
"When I have done what set out to
do, then I permit myself to consider
whether I need rest. There was a
time when my red ancestors had no
horses. They ran down their game
afoot."
"You will always ride-or drive"
bantered Vandervyn.
"By Gar, she won't never be driven"
declared Dupont with conviction.
Vandervyn smiled over his cham
payne glass. He did not notice that
Marie was looking at him. But Hardy
was watching her. He saw her proud
face soften and her brilliant eyes melt
with tender passion. His own face
became grave. A moment later she was
rallying him for his seriousness, and
her animation soon compelled him to
forget what he had seen. Vandervyn
had not been mistaken in his assertion
that she could act the lady to perfec-
ton when she chose. Though the cigars
proved to be Havanas, they were
brought in much sooner than suited
Hardy.
