CHAPTER xil--continued.

"You add to my regret. Yet. as act
Ing agent, it Is my duty to censure
your father and Mr.. Vandervyn for de-
ceiving me. Had they told me about
Nogen's malfeasance-his blocking Of
the new treaty and compelling the In
dams to work the mine without pay"
HE did that7" Marie questioned her
father.
"Well, me ana Mr.. Van done all we
could to git him to pay EN-" mumbled
Dupont.
"Of course! But he I did not think
him so meant" The girls eyes blazed
and her nostrils dilated. $50 that was
why he was shot? I don't blame the
man who did 1T could have done 1t
myself! The theft Reggie, If only
you had let the killer escape"
Couldn't" tersely replied Wander
vyn. "He was blood-mad-would have
got Charlie and me, too, If we hadn't
got him."
"That was self-defense," said Har-
dy. 1T has been greed and dishonesty,
though, that have prompted you to
conceal from me the facts that led up
to the killing. Aside from the danger
to me, you have permitted the tribe to
verge upon an uprising that would
have compelled their pacification by
the war department. All this that you
might steal the ore Of this mine"
"Steal our own ore?" beloved Du-
pont. You're plumb locoed!"
"Not so loud, If you please" quietly
replied Hardy. ''The ore Is not
yours"
"That's all you know about 1t" blus-
tered the trader. "Ain't I one Of the
discoveries and locators Of the lode?''
1.-THE lode is not subject to location.
1t Is on Indian land"
"What if it is? Amt member OF
the tribe?'
1.-THE tribal land has not yet been
allotted in severalty. Every square
foot Of ground on the reservation be-
longs to the tribe as whole. No one
member can hold individual title to
any of it."
"Well, what Of it?" demanded Du-
pont, far from silenced. IF the tribe
wants to work the mine, and they want
me and Mr.. Van to manage it for them
and buy the ore, what in hell have you
got to say about it?'
Nothing at present" answered
Hardy. 'If the tribe consents. l shall
make no objection. You will be able
to cheat them of only few thousand
dollars before the new treaty Is con-
summated and all this mineral land
opened to location and entry under the
mining laws"
The veins on Vandervyn's crimsoned
forehead were swollen and pulsating
with his furious anger. He spoke IN

you want to take away the mine from
the tribe and from US too!'
Hardy WINGED under the scornful
reproaches, yet did not yield hair. II

shall continue to do 1t. have no in
tention Of robbing anyone Of what Is
rightfully his"
"Yet when the reservation Is thrown
open for entry, someone else who
never saw the mine may slip in ahead
Of us and Jump it." said Vandervyn.
"That Is something cannot pre-
vent" said Hardy.
"You cant" contradicted Marie.
'The chiefs will not insist on the new
treaty-they will do what Pere thinks
best for them and US, II you leave the
matter to him and Reggie"
Il must do my duty as acting
agent" insisted Hardy.
The girl turned her back upon him
in open disdain. He raised his hat to
her and started for the cabin. his face
white. but his shoulders squared back
and his head very erect.

Dupont looked 60 vandssvyn, ana
received a sign to acquiesce.
Don't want to leave ycu In the
lurch. Cap" he said. ''but II Marie's
set on going, guess I'll have to-"
'srell four Of the police they are
detailed to escort yourself and Miss
Dupont back to the agency" ordered
Hardy. He raised his hat to Marie.
.Permit mo to wish you = pleasant
journey"
The girl turned away without reply
Ing. Hardy stood for 4 moment cool
and still under vandervyn's exultant
smile; then faced about and steadily
walked on along the mountain ter
race.
n He did not return to the cabin IN
I'll the greater number Of the saddle
and pack ponies had been brought up
from the valley and tho returning
party had mounted and ridden away
on the back trail. yandervyn started

eyes dimmed az. leaning against 4
gnarled pine on the slope above. b.
watched the lovers ride away, side

Angered at himself for his momen.
tnry weakness, he sprang down the
lodges to the terrace, and hastcned
back to talk with Redbear. He was
met at the cabin door by Oinna. who
placed a finger on her lips and Wills
pered that her brother had at last
fallen asleep.
Hardy withdrew to the shady side
Of the cabin. where he sat down on hill
saddle and began drafting a list Of In
structions for the tribal delegates Il
Washington. He was stin writing
them when, shortly before nightfall

"Tou'll order mo. cried vandervyn,
and again he bent forward q II 10

and motionless In tho dim starlight.
The younger man checked himself.
His voice shook with suppressed an
ger: you've rot tho drop On mo now.

.Until I am relieved from my prca-
emit detail, shall consider myself the
guardian OF everyone and everything

There followed I silence of several
moments duration. In which Wander
vyn must have found time 10 reflect.
He drew back step Or two. lit his
pipe. and at last remarked In 4 some-
what forced tone OF CONSULTATION: y

vaHdorvyn started Oh, sucking 90
his pipe. Hardy turned shout. and
locked the door On the outside With
the heavy paddock that hung loose In
the jamb staple. He put tho hoy In hi
pocket and walked around the cabin
to make certain that there were no
other openings larger than the narrow
crevices Of tho loopholes.
When he returned to tho tree, ~
found vandervyn already outstretched.

fixed the younger man with a glance
that compelled him to blink and LOOK

CHAPTER XIII.
Another Card or Two.

Another Card or Two.
A few minutes later Hardy came out
of the cabin. Though grave, he was
cool and alert. He at once walked up
to Dupont, who sat putting at his pipe
on the top Of the mine-dump.
"Redbear seems to be quiet" he
said. "Where is your daughter?"
Dupont pointed vaguely down the
mountain-side. "She went off with Mr..
Van, to try to smooth down his fur.
You riled him considerable, Cap"
II regret that it was necessary to
reprimand YOU"
"All right, Cap. don't bear no
grudge. Mebbe now you'd like to take
a look at the mine."
"Yes." crisply agreed Hardy.
Dupont rose and led him into the
mouth of the tunnel. There he un-
locked a heavy tool chest and took
out two candles. These were needed,
for though the tunnel ran into the
mountain side less than three hundred
feet, its twisting course along the ore
vein soon shut out the daylight. Du-
pont noticed his companions dubious
look at the soft ore-body that formed
the roof and one wall of the tunnel.
walk quiet, and don't talk loud"
he said. ave amt done no timbering
yet. Drove In this drift to the foot Of
the shaft fast as we could git the lazy
cusses to work, SOS we could figure
what we had to count on"
Hardy made no reply until they
came to the end of the tunnel and
stepped out into the dim daylight Of
the shaft bottom. He looked up the
big, square, timbered well, and re-
marked: "You sank this first, then
drove in to meet it."
"Yep. Wanted to make sure the
vein didn't pinch out nowhere. Nogen
and Mr.. Van both figured we got three
hundred thousand dollars of ore as
good as blocked out"
"Ah," said Hardy, and he signed to
Dupont to lead the way back.
They had gone twenty-five or thirty
PAGES when little slither OF ore fell
on the floor of the tunnel in front Of
Dupont. Instantly he sprang forward,
with whispered cry: jump
quick!"
Hardy leaped after him, barely in
time to clear the ton or more of ore
that dropped from the roof in a mass.
Without stopping to look behind them,
the two men FASTENED stealthily down
the slight slope of the tunnel, their
candles appraised and eyes fixed on the
soft, raw ore-body above them. At any
moment the entire roof might cave In
and bury them. The shock Of the first
fall loosened small quantities Of ore
all along the passage. Fragments drib-
bled down behind and In front of the
fugitives and even on their heads.
Panic-stricken, they broke into a run.
1t was none too soon. As they dashed
around the turn that brought them to
the outlet, the entire roof behind them
came thudding down.
Safe outside, Dupont shook the
fragments from his hat and clothes,
and pulled out his bandanna to wipe
off the sweat that was gathering in
beads on his forehead.
"Ughi' he grunted. 'Don't never
see me in there ag'in till it's timbered."
Rather close CALL" remarked
Hardy.
You're a cool one," muttered the
trader, and he scowled. "Nom dun
CHEN. Just my luck! II I hadn't

vandervyn came jogging back to the
mine. He had had delightful ride
with Marie, and he complacently inti-
mated the fact to Hardy.
In the midst of this subtle torment
ing Of his rival, Oinna came out to
serve the supper that she had cooked
In the cabin. Vandervyn abruptly
changed the subject, and began to talk
about the council next day. Hardy
gave no sign that he observed this
sudden break or the furtive, adoring
glances that the girl bestowed ON VAN
dervyn as she glided softly to and fro.
The night came on, clear and still.
AS they pulled ut their after-supper
pipes, Vandervyn suggested that, out
OF consideration for the young woman,
they roll up In their blankets outside
the cabin. TO this Hardy made no OBJ
lection. They picked out soft spot
matted with fallen pine needles, under
a low-growing tree, and soon both
were seemingly fast asleep.
After several minutes Vandervyn
spoke to his companion In low tone.
Hardy did not answer. Vandervyn
drew out his pipe and struck match.
He held the flame above Hardy's face.
The eyes We're closed, and the severe,
Internationally expression OF the
harsh features was relaxed as IL In
heavy slumber. .......
Vanderyyn extinguished the match,
nd alfnrn1 nsrt x.f Ia ntu Nnlon-
lessly he crept down to the cabin
and around to the door. It was barred
on the inside. He tapped on 1t.
There was q sliding sound within
the cabin, and the heavy door began
to swing inward. Vandervyn put his
foot on the threshold to enter. At
the same moment q sinewy hand
gripped his shoulder and jerked him
away. He cursed, and clapped his
hand to his holster as he whiried
about. 1t was empty. He bent for
ward to spring at the dark form In
the half-open doorway.
"Stand back!" came the stern COM
mand. II have your revolver. Oinna,
close the door,"
The door swung shut. In the tense
silence the rattle of the bar as 1t shot
back into It's socket was distinct. VAN
deryyn's teeth ground together.
"You - straight-laced prg!" he
choked out. Get away from here
I'm going in."
Suppose do not choose to give it?'
''Then will protect her by ordering
you to leave the reservation as fast
as you can travel"
II see," tainted Vandervyn. "You
want 10 get rid OF me, so you can have
clear sailing with Marie. You're q
great one to spout about honor!
You'll go and blat to her about this"
"You know very well I cannot do
that. Yet IL you refuse to give me
your word, / shall feel justified In
telling Dupont my reason for ordering
you off the reservation" RI
Vandervyn burst into cynical
laugh. do you think Jake's the sort
to care. =.
"When the happiness Of his daugh-
ter Is at stake"
Precisely. He thinks I'm her one
best chance.
"yery WE'LL" replied Hardy. "Sincc,

guardian Is unfit, my position as acting
