cent on all moneys appropriated in
payment to the tribe for their min
eral lands. Let's hear you cOngratu-
late me. Show you're game!'
But Hardy did not raise his eyes.
As soon as Vandervyn was out OF
sight around the cnstellated rocks ut
the top of the ridge. Hardy stopped
the mare and dropped from the saddle
His shapely mouth was curved in II
resoute smile. and his hand was rap
idly transferring from the saddIebags
to his pockets II pocket AK, Il handful
of pistol cartridges and the legal no
tees for posting "A mining claim.
He glanced up the slope, and, seeing
no sign of vandervyn, stripped Off the
mares bride, sponged out her nostrlls
and mouth with the last water in his
canteen.
Hardy took the steep slope at an I'M
hurried pace. he reached the place
where he had found the bloody trail
of Redbear. Up the cleft the climbing
was not stif. He came out on the
valley slope, extremely hot and dry
hut not out of breath. Drawing an
airline across to the opposite noun
tainside, where he had seen the light
Of Ti-owu-kOnza' campfire through the
darkness, he started down into the
valley at "A jog as brisk as that of the
third pinto. He was alm' { spent as
he tottered through the pines up the
last slope. The camp was gone, but
he knew the nearest way to the spring.
He rested two or three minutes. re-
pentedly cooling his head in the spring
and rinsing out his mouth, but drink
ing only very few sips. Again re-
freshed. he half filled his canteen, and
started on up the easy mountain slope
at II steady jog.
Ten minutes brought him over the
summit to the sharp pitch above the
mine. He stared down at the terrace
several moments, however, before he
made out the figures OF man and
woman waiting at the first turn of
the trail. There could be no doubt
that the two were Marie and her flu
Their.
1t was no less certain that Wander
vyn had not yet arrived. Even had he
suspected his opponents stratugem. he
scarcely could have covered the seven
miles of trail in AS short Il time AS
Hardy had taken to make the three
miles across country.

Two hours before the time set &C.
The start Vandervyn appeared. az
crossed over to the camp. lie WA
riding his pinto and leading II pnc,
rnuy When the old prospectors saw
his heavy pick and shovel and large,
POORLY dashed pack of food and bed
ling, they cracked many dry jokes on
the grand chances of the tenderfoot
Their own picks and shovels were as
light as such tools could be made with
out impairing their efficiency, and
their packs were as lean as Wander
vyn's pack was swollen.
Hardy alone OWNED the deceptive
mockery Of his rivals cumbersome dis
play. But he was bound by his word
and could say nothing. 1t was he, and
not Yandervyn, who was looked upon
with suspicion by the crowd. Soon
there was gathering of IA mobilize
group. that rumbled awhile. and ended
by presenting Itself before Hardy as
u committee Of inquiry.
You been agent at this here reser-
yation." explained their spokesman.
I'VE want to know If you've got a
frame-up to have some Teller meet you
with your pack animals over in the
mountains"
NO" replied Hardy. There are
four days rations In my saddlebags.
A poncho is all one needs in sleeping
before a fire this time of year"
You amt got no tools" criticized Il
man who had been drinking.
''rhe same Is true OF several among
YOU" Hardy rejoined.
One of the cowboys who was includ-
ed in this remark called back resonant
ly: You've been into the mountains.
] bet you blue chip you've got good
prospect spotted, ready for branding"
II am not making any bets" said
Hardy. You have heard all 1 know
about the trail. Mr.. Yandervyn has
made the trip several times. He was
with me during the one trip l made.
l have no objection to your questioning
him about it."
There was some muttering over this.
But Hardy's manner was so cool and
quiet that the lncipient mob left him.
and struggled over to where Wander
vyn had hired an expert to throw the
diamond hitch on his ridiculous pack.
Hardy turned his back on them, and
set to grooming the satiny coat of his
mare. His unconcern was well found
ed. Whatever means Vandervyu used.
they were sufficient to satisfy the
crowd. The muttering soon ceased,
and the men dispersed.

CHAPTER XXI.
The Race.


The commissioners came down
from the agency barely in time to
make their Identification of the
and Vandervyn Identified them
selves and hurried over to the end OF
the waiting line. There was a scant
i've minutes remaining. vandervyn
was a-quiyer with eager excitement.
and made no attempt to conceal the
fact. He smiled and waved his hand
TO the commissioners, and looked about
with sparkling eyes There was no
anxiety or envy or malice in his look.
Never had he appeared handsomer or
more boylsh.
The other commissioners had
climbed into the touring car. One of
them held up his watch. Another com
missioner arose, thrust a small pistol
above his head with n melodramatic
flourish, and fired.
At the signal the line of contestants
wavered and plunged forward into the
shallow stream. There were, however.
quite enough hHsty ones to raise n
wild splashing and turmoil, as, whoop-
Ing and yelling, they spurred their po-
MES through the water and whlrled
AWAY at a gallOp. Some wheeled up
the coulee; a few rode straight across
at the steep bank. Vandervyn, wild
est and noisiest of all, headed down
stream for the road, squirting his
pinto. He was followed by large
bunch.
Hardy started after these last, hold
ing his mare to her usual steady trot
When he came up the road to the head
of the gulley, those who had gone be-
fore him were all quite a distance
ahead, with Vandervyn still in the
lead. Midway between the mouth of
the valley and the agency, the long
striding mare began to pass ponies
whose riders had thought better of
their whirlwind start. Others were
still Looping in swift pursuit of Wander
vyn.
Hardy walked the mare up the slope
Of the agency terrace. He saw moth
ing of Dupont or Marie, and the In
dams had moved away with their te-
pees. But In the rear of the ware
