of Tacitus There has grown up a
hero-worshiping cult for those primal
Germans who came out of the woods

the old Germans was a perpetual state
of war. They regarded years of peace
as wasted time, and pretended, at

Collect for War Relief.

In the stead Of the amusements of for
mer days, the young society girls are
putting in long hours in war relief work
They work on the streets. in the cafes,
hotels, restaurants and other public places
from early morning till late at night,
armed with small metal boxes, collecting
to the last pfennig the city's daily surplus
money for the benefit of the war victims
These earnest young woman collectors
are found in every German city:
Many of the younger and older sets
have taken up the duties Of nursing the
wounded, and they work in hospitals that
formerly were the fashionable clubs. in
which they played away their time. Thou
sands Of society girls are members OF
the volunteer corps for caring for the
babies of the poor, whose mothers must
work away from home throughout the
day to exc out scanty war incomes. These
well bred young nursemaids go on duty
in the early morning hours and remain
worker comes home at night.
Nearly every social gathering has a
serious purpose. AS lighter means for
passing away this time of depression,
many lectures, musicals, amateur
dramatic performances and bazaars are
arranged, and their proceeds go to
swell the funds for charity. The charity
bazaar has become the most favored
recreation OF all Germany. These
numerous undertakings represent a
nation imposing a voluntary tax upon
its surplus income to the utmost limit
that the traffic will bear. And, as 1t Is
self-imposed, this tax IL borne cheer

circles but solid. co-ordinated effort
for the promotion of the nations inter-

in Germany. Society functions in Ger
many today are gatherings for the dis
cussion of war problems, entertainments
for the raising of funds for innumer-
able war charities, and long list of
activities, with sleeves rolled up, for
the home work of war, the making OF
bandages, the knitting Of socks, neck
bands and mittens, the sewing Of cloth

cooking and distribution of foods for

Society has been transmitted by war

of one egg per week. one-quarter or

meager war rations.
Solemn Dinner Parties.
Such entertainments at table as are
given are generally held in some hotel
or restaurant, and the guests bring with
them their own bread and meat cards.
These dinner parties are solemn affairs.
AS there is very little travel in Ger

luncheon parties form an important
source of income to the suffering hotels

to risk all our scalps by bucking his

Il shall see what he wants, and then
do what 1 consider right" replied
Hardy. ''Miss Dupont, ask you to
stay close indoors. May ask you to
have your Indian boy take my mare
down to Redbears sister, with orders
for her to escape if she hears any fir
ing? Mr.. Vandervyn, you may remain
here or join myself and Redbear, as
you prefer"
"I'll go along with you, captain. You
may have to fight your way back here"
Hardy nodded in appreciation of the
spirited reply, bowed to Marie, and
started for the agency buildings with a
step that was brisk yet dignified. The
Indians had assembled for the council
in semicircle, three rows deep, fac
Ing the rear of the warehouse. Hardy
went first to his cabin, where he
"broke" his rifle and put piece Of
the mechanism into his pocket.
There shall be no display Of weap-
ons on our part" he ordered. "You
will not take your rifles. At close quar-
ters your revolvers will be more eff
fective. Carry them concealed"
I'VE will put on coats" said Wander
vyn. "Come to my cabin"
"Meet me at the Office" directed
Hardy, and he walked on ahead, cool
and resolute.
The others soon rejoined him, Red
bear in an old shooting jacket, and
Vandervyn in a frock coat and tile, to
Hardy reminiscent Of smart society,
but to the Indians emblematic of pale
face dignity. When the little party
came around the end of the warehouse
to take up their position before the
silently awaiting assembly, the covert
glances of the many beadlike eyes first
turned upon the chief clerk. Soon,
however, they shifted to the erect mill
tary figure of the new agent, and re.
mained fixed.

CHAPTER v.
RN-PIaY.


Sunrise found Vandervyn riding
down the valley on his nimble-footed
pinto. He left the road and cantered
across into the bend where Redbear
had pointed out his new house to
Hardy. When Vandervyn rode up,
Redbear was shovellng clay upon the
uncovered brush thatch at one corner
of the roof. The halfbreed did not
stop work until his visitor drew rein
almost within arms reach. Vandervyn
met his civil greeting with a cynical
smile.

mo, we say it O-ee-nah. The school

her to sleep all day, If she liked"
"Come up the creek. 1 want to tell
you something" replied Vandervyn.
When they had gone beyond earshot Of
the cabin, he stopped his pony and
faced the uneasy halfbreed with look
Of sympathetic concern. "Charlie, it's
all up"
Redbear's face turned a mottled gray.
"All-all up" he gasped.

man kept his eyes to the front. But
Marie soon glanced about.
''Lookl" she said.
He turned and saw Oinna with the
big gronite-ware cup to her uptilted
lips, draining the moist sugar from the
bottom. The action was laughably
childish, but the girls attitude was the
perfection Of grace. Marie caught the
look that fitted across Vandervyn's
face, and her eyes flashed.
$50 was rightw she exclaimed.
"You were flirting with her."
"I-flirting with her?" he wonder.
ingly queried, and he turned sideways
In his saddle, to stare wide-eyed at his
companion, from the tip of her dainty
riding boot up to the feather felt hat
on her coal-black hair.
Under that prolonged scrutiny the
scarlet of the girls anger changed to
rose, and her eyes sank as coyly as
had Oinna's. He smiled. The girl was
good to look upon.
Mid-morning was past when they
walked their ponies up the slope of
the terrace. The bare level, back of the
warehouse, was dotted with groups Of
stOlid, half-naked Indians.
"Lookw exclaimed the girl.
"What is it?" he asked.
"Don't you see? There is not q
woman or child among them. Let us
go and find out what Pere thinks of it."

Hardy did not smile. "Explaln," he
| ordered.
"Oh-you mean Jake's pipe dream
that this low-grade stuff may some
time turn into streak of solid gold.
But Of course you wouldn't stand for
the three of us dividing up the pro-
ceeds, even If it did turn out q bo-
nanza?"
Certainly not"
"Your idea would be to give all the
profits to the tribe, even If we had
bought the ore and taken the risk Of it's

"Nom'chlenl muttered Dupont.
'"That amt no way to treat a white

said Hardy, and he rose to leave. "Good
evening. Good evening, Mr.. Vandervyn.'
He went out. Dupont gaped after
him, and grunted incredulously: "Fifty
thousand-made it fifty thousand, and
he didn't jump at It'll"
"Told you so," snapped Vandervyn.
''But we'll fix him yet-two more cards
up our sleeve. If one fails to take the
trick, we'll play the other. We're not
going to be bluffed out at this stage of
the game"
Dupont caught at the whisky bottle
with shaking hand. "No, by Gar"
he protested. ave don't play that
other card. Mr.. Van. quit first"
"Oh, WELL" replied Vandervyn, "if
you're going to throw down, shall not
try to play it alone. But you're in on
the next play"
Dupont grunted, and poured himself
a full glass Of whisky.

from the Office. With a calm, direct
gaze, Hardy studied. the appearance Of
the triple row Of Indians. To an In
experienced eye they could not have
appeared more peaceably disposed. But
Hardy's keen eyes noted that the
blankets of some of the men in the
rear, were hunched out over well-fille6
quivers of arrows. Here and there oD
the ground beside the subchiefs who
formed the front row a muzzle of Q
rifle thrust from under the outSpread
blanket ends.
Hardy at last fixed his gaze on Thun
derbolt, who sat in the center Of the
row Of subchlefs, and after delibera.
tive silence that accorded with the In,
dian idea Of etiquette, spoke to Red
bear: "Tell them that 1 am pleased
to meet in council with the head chief
and subchiefs and headmen Of the
tribe. am here to find out what haR
troubled the tribe and to see whatever
is wrong shall be made right"
Redbear glanced at Vandervyn, who
stood behind Hardy. The eyes of the
chief clerk narrowed, and his small,
red mouth Strengthened. Redbear drew
in quick breath, faced about, and ad.
dressed the assembly. What he said
took several moments to deliver.
The hush that followed seemed tc
quiver with suppressed hostility,
though the faces of the Indians re-
mained stolid. At last old Ti-owa-
konza ventured response. His tone
and bearing were mild. He first spoke
soothingly to his fellow councillors, and
then addressed Hardy in dignified re-
monstrance. When he sat down again,
Redbear stood silent, uneasy and vacil-
lating.

at Vandervyn, licked his lips, and be-

"He says all this land belongs to the

sorry that you have come here. He
says his people do not Ike the Long
