aside from Hardy, and began to pour
out torrent Of Litkotah. He had spo-
ken only a few sentences when a'wave
of agitation passed over the semicircle
of Indians Blankets slipped down
from copper-red shoulders; fierce eyes
glared menacingly at Hardy. Several
of the more excitable bucks leaped up
with bow and rifle in hand.
Hardy thrust out from among the
police and raised his hands to Ti-owa-
konza in the peace sign. The head
chief called to his fellows and turned
his back upon the agent with deliber-
ate contempt All the others faced

Hardy.

If we cannot quiet the tribe and talk
