CHAPTER VIII.
.Best-laid Schemes.

Hardy had gone to the Duponts' for supper when Vandervyn returned to the agency. He made nasty toilet and followed. Marie met him with marked coldness. This, however, melt ed before he had finished his report to Hardy. All agreed that the old chief probably would take fancy to Oinna, and that, as a result, there would be O fair chance of pacifying the tribe.
 When Hardy turned to the girl, he found her and Vandervyn exchanging glances and murmuring remarks. His habitual gravity softened to a smile of wiStful sadness. At the first OppOr- tunity he excused himself. Midnight had passed before the light in the little citified parlor of the Dupont house was extinguiShed.
 When, at sunrise, Hardy went for breakfast, Marie's eyes were very bright and her look was pensive. She ate little, and her manner toward liar dy was cold and ungracious.
 After the officer left, Dupont squint- ed across the table at her and began to scratch his head.
 1Ou duu MIL fdu DuTuSu d IOL Ol coal oil last night. He didn't git far enough along to ask you to hitch up with him, did he?"
 A red blush famed in the girls cheeks. Without looking up, she mur- mured a regretful 'No."
 Guess he figures hell wait and see if Hardy is going to bust us up. Like as not he'll skip back east if Hardy gifts sore and chokes off our hold on the mine."
 "What do you mean? He'd send Reggie away. The stiff, solemn old fogy-I hate him!'
 Easy, easy, girl!' soothed Dupont. 'No use plunging when you're hitched to the Snubbing post. Just now he's got us roped. He'll have us all hog tied if we go to bucking. We've got to make him think we're gentled."
 "What if we act toward him as we feel?"
 "You don't savvy about that mine. Me and Nogen discovered it and paid honest for developing it, as you know. Well, we let MT. Van in on it. Then Nogen up and gifts killed. That makes it half and half between me and MT. Van, according to all that's fair and square. But do you believe Hardy will look at it that way? Not by a-con- siderable. He'll talk about it being the tribes, just because it's on the reser- vation."
 q see!" The girls eyes flashed, and her nostrils dilated. "He will rob you

Vandervyn smiled in his careless manner.
 "Oh, guess yes"
 "You'll marry her? You'll take her to town and marry her like white people?"
 "I'l marry her as some white people marry. I'll not take her to town. Oinna and I have agreed to be married according to tribal custom"
 Again Redbear's weak face dark ened with suspicion and anger. q won't have it. You're white, and Oinna is half white. White people don't marry Indian fashion"
 "You know a lot about it, Charlie. Haven't you ever heard of common-law marriages? Lots of white people get married that way"
 "What way?"
 "You must know about it. Instead of going to a lot of fuss and bother over ministers and licenses, many people just take each other for hus- band and wife and go to housekeep- ing"
 Isis that a real white peoples marriage" asked Oinna.
 Vandervyn drowned. "You don't think I'm lying, do you? Why, you often see in the newspapers about con- mon-law wives getting their share of

and Reggie of a fortune|yet you wish me to be nice to him! !''
 "You bet I do! Can't you git the point? He ain't going to be bluffed into quitting. That means we got to make friends with him or lose the mine."
 .'Oh! So that is it?"
 Yep. Worst of it is he's one of them there fellows what stand so straight they lean backwards. We talked to him about how it would help the tribe if he joined us in opening the mine. He was mighty offish. Guess we'll have to give him Nogen's third to get him into our camp"
 "What shame! The mine is yours and Reggie's. He hasn't done thing toward developing it.''
 q know. But he's the agent. He's got us roped. He can rob us of our mine if we don't make friends with him. Now do you savvy?"
 The girls thick black eyebrows met in frown of vexation. eff he is a man whose friendship must be bought, l do not wish to be pleasant to him.

 "Well, if it's a real marriage" muttered Redbear.3
 'Of course it is, Charlie, if he says sol" cried Oinna rapturously.
 Her brothers face glowed with sud den unconcealed exultance. He stam- mered almost incoherently: 'Then you-Marie- don't marry-don't marry Marie."
 "No," replied Vandervyn, and his voice rang clear. q have no intention of marrying her."
 Maybe Marie'll like me now, when I tell her you are going to be my brother" sighed Redbear.
 Vandervyn laid a brotherly hand on his shoulder. Hold on, boy!" he said. 'You let me manage things. You know that Marie thinks she likes me. But now Hardy is here, and he wants her. If she hears that have thrown her over, she will run off with him."
 "She don't like him."
 What II she doesn't! He's an army officer. He has money, and when he goes from here he will wear his uni form, all gilt and spangles. You know how the girls like that. No--I tell you there's not the ghost of a show for you until he is out of the way. Our little bluff didn't work. He says he is going to stay. So for a while you and Oinna must keep still about the mar r1age. Tomorrow morning you and I arc going into the mountains to talk with the chiefs. Oinna will go with me. But it must be understood at the agency that you have sent her to- Who could you send her to?"
 ''Ti-owa-konza is, our mothers fa- ther. Not even MT. Dupont knows that" said Redbear. TBefore he came here, she ran off with a bad white man. They went to the Blackfeet. After a time he got an arrow through his back. My mother came home. Ti-owa-konza would not see her face. She had to work for the agent till they made us go away to school. Then she died"

Warns women against cutting cOrns

Because style DEGREES that women
crowd and buckle UP their tender toes
in high heel footwear they suffer from
corns. then they cut and trim at these
painful pests. which merely makes the
corn grow hard. This suicidal habit
may cause lockjaw and women are
, warned to stop it.
A few drops Of a drug called freezone
applied directly upon sore corn gives
quick relief and soon the entire corn,
root and all, lifts out without pain.
Ask the drug store man for a quarter
of an ounce Of freezone. which costs
very little. but is sufficient to remove
every hard or soft corn or callus from
ones feet.
This drug is gummy, but II dries
in a moment and simply shrivels up
the corn without infaming or even
