CHAPTER Xxx.
The Registration.


At noon the following day the COM
missioners came out to the butte, and
announced the conditions of the land
opening. All entrymen were to start
from the coulee at given signal, TO
be made at ten o'clock in the morning
of the second day following. Any per
son who started before the signal
would be disqualified.
A tent was set up FOX the commits
sioners in the coulee bottom, on tho
reservation side of the dwindlSrd
stream, and the chairman and secrs-
tary proceeded to take the signatures.
thumb prints and descriptions Of tho
waiting colony of prospectors and cow
boys.
Since Hardy and Marie had first
come upon the camp, the number OF
men had twice doubled. Yet, owing
to the obscure manner in which the
proposed opening had been advertised.
there were absurdly few of them, all
told, compared to the multitudes at
other governmental land openings. Per-
haps with view toward covering tins
discrepancy, the commissioners had or
| dered full descriptions of every con-
| testant, and so managed to cover many
sheets of paper and to consume much
| time.
The recording was well under way
when Vandervyn and Dupont came
| down to the camp. Neither made any
| attempt to push into the line of entry
men. But Dupont read the posted no
| tice of the conditions of the contest.
| frowned, and remarked to Vandervyn
| that he wished to show him something
over at the butte. The young man
| looked bored, yet borrowed pony, and
rode across with him to the deserted
camp.
"What is it?" he asked. "Have you
| found a mares nest that is Matching
out horse good enough to outrun
triplets?"
Dupont shook his head. Don't you
let nobody hear that joke around here,
Mr.. Van. Them there prospectors and
punchers all lug guns, and they amt
the kind to stand for no funny bust
| ness"
They'll have to stand for it, if
they don't understand it," punned
| Vandervyn. 'In this game three of a
kind beat all the jacks in the pack"
"You best keep your head shut, just
| the same. Them punchers III ride the
hardest, and they're mighty sharp to
see the difference between horses"
II told you I shall rush them off
their feet. They'll think me a fool,
and drop behind, to overhaul me later.
Now, if that's all you have to tell
| me"
He wheeled his borrowed pony to
ride back.
Hold on ~ replied Dupont, frowning
uneasily. II want to talk over fixing
up about the way we share the NINE"
Vandervyn lifted his eyebrows.
| Aren't you satisfied? Now that Red
bear is-out of the way, there will be
none to question our sharing of the
mine between u.s."
Its between us, all right" sullenly
replied Dupont. "Tain't in writing,

fact that you have struck me severe
blow. 1t would be easier if you had
not insisted upon my coming here to-
night to be made the butt of his mock
cry"
Marie threw up her head, her eyes
blazing with indignant scorn.
"You can believe that of me?
thought you a gentleman" Her voice
hardened. "Ycu have been served as
you deserve. And now I am glad
glad!"
He turned about and went out
through the parlor. The other men
were clinking glasses in jolly good-fel'
lowship. Dupont waveringly offered
him the whisky bottle. He thrust II
back and left the house.

He caught up his champagne glass,
which the Indian boy had just refifled.
Gentlemen, here's to the loveliest
girl in the world, the lady who has
given me her true promise !!
The commissioners rose-Dupont
rose. Hardy sat as if stunned, his eyes
fixed upon Marie's face in strained,
half-incredulous stare. She was very
pale. She seemed to shrink. Yet she
made no attempt to deny Vandervyn's
statements. Hardy stood up with the
other men and, for the first time that
evening, he emptied his champagne
glass.

Meeting Vandervyn's exultant smile,
he drew in deep breath, and his voice
rang clear and steady: "YOu are to
be congratulated, sir. l wish you the
great good fortune that you may in all
things prove worthy of the lady's
trust"
Vandervyn's flushed face crimsoned,
but whether with shame or anger could
not be told. Marie had risen, and her
tactfulness diverted attention from the
rivals.
"The coffee and cigars will be served
in the parlor," she announced.
Vandervyn somewhat hastily led the
way to the other room. Hardy, being
the farthest away, followed behind the
others. When he came to the door he
coolly closed and bolted it.
"Captain' breathlessly exclaimed
Marie. what will they think?"
"Most of them are beyond thinking,

Notwithstanding the delay, Haroy
again permitted the mare to choose
her own pace. Though she went at
a steady trot, a messenger in the re-

But no messenger was sent.
Midafternoon Hardy met the car

The chauffeur, with the Indifference OF

The missionaries which the regis
