The homecoming day observed
here last Sunday was well attended
considering the rain in the fore
noon. We heard two very fine SER
mons by DR.. Smart, of Emory Col
lege. Not only this church but the
entire Elizabeth charge has not
made but little progress for the past
two or three years, mainly for the
lack of pastors who were not other
wise engaged or too indolent to
take the proper exercise necessary
to do PASTORAL duty The last gem
eral conference assigned to this
work, Rev. B. f. PIN, a young able
energetic Jealous Christian gentle
man, who possessed every qualifi-
cation necessary TO do this work. a
man that everybody loved and ad-
mired and put implicit confidence
as preacher and pastor, but to the
very great surprise of every official
OF the entire charge of five
churches he has been removed from
us without the slightest knowledge
or consent in any way of any Of
fetal in the entire circuit, the wnole
membership is thoroughly indig-
nant at the way and manner in
which they have been treated, and
after repeated efforts they have
failed to be even as much as heard
on the matter, We have been labor
ing under the impression that Ears
and King were no more in this
the land of the free and the home
OF the brave, but if this isn't down
right autocratic rules, we would
kindly thank one to tell us wat is.
It's classes in preference to
masses; it's big city churches before
poor country people and weak
churches; some asks the question:
Did they not give you another
preacner?" They say yes, but we
have had fine experiences on this
line and will not have another. We
mean to have B. f. PIN Or none.

be done was for the white chiefs at
Washington to agree on the price to
be paid for the mineral land and for
a delegation of tribal chiefs to go to
Washington and put their marks on
the treaty paper.
A question or two from Hardy
brought out the angry complaint that
when Nogen began to dig stones he
told the chiefs there would be no
treaty, and that the tribe must dig
the stones for him, or they would re-
ceive no more issue goods. Chief Van
and Big-mouth Dupont) had tried to
get NOgen to give trade goods to the
young men and women who had dug
holes. But NOgen would not allow it.
Then bad Indian had shot Nogen,
and Van had shot the killer. The tribe
did not blame Chief Van. But they
had felt bad toward Nogen and they
had felt bad toward the new agent be-
cause they thought he would do as No
gen had done. Now they would like
the new agent. No Indian would wish
to kill him when 1t became known
what he intended to do for the tribe.
After the OLD chief finished this ex-
PLANTATION, Hardy found himself n well
come and honored guest In the camp.
At his suggestion Ti-owa-konza readily
agreed to send out runners in the
morning to call council ut the mine
the day after. Hardy, in turn, prom
ised to draw up papers to make smooth
the way of the delegation of chiefs in
Washington.
At sign from her grandfather, DIN
ma now brought food to the guest.
While he ate he talked with her about
her experience in the camp. She told
him joyously that her mothers father
and all his family and band had been
very kind to her and had been hospit-
able. though not SO kind. to her broth
er.
But when Hardy casually inquired
whether Redbear had left the camp at
the same time as Vandervyn, the girls
flow of conversation came to an abrupt
stop. She blushed and stammered and
became so painfully shy and confused
that Hardy considerably feigned
drOwsiness.

CHAPTER XII.
His Duty,

At dawn Hardy was reused by IT.
owa-konza with greeting as friendly
as it was dlgnitied, though Hardy had
to surmise its meaning from the chiefs
expression. Oinna was already out
side, helping with breakfast. While
she served her grandfather and the
guest, Hardy suggested that she go
with him to the mine, where they prob
ably would find Marie and the rest of
the party. Reluctant as was Ti-owa-
konza to part with his half-white
granddaughter, he ordered her pony
brought in and saddled. When she ex-
planned to Hardy that the mine was
only mile away across the mountain,
he declined the offer of a Saddleless
mount, took ceremonious leave of the
old chief and set out up the mountain
side with the girl and young Indian
guide.
Hardy noted the bearings and dis
tances of all prominent points around
him with the eye of one we'll trained in
the art Of topography. A quarter
hour brought the little party to the
top of the low mountain. Before them
the far side of the mountain pitched
down steep and rocky incline into Il
narrow valley. The silent Indian guide
pointed to terrace midway down the
descent. From amidst the pines was
rising a cloud of blue-black smoke.
Soon Oinna pointed out cabin
among the pines. They We're within
fifty yards of 1t when Vandervyn and
Dupont came out Of hole in the cliff
end of spur-ridge near the cabin. and
stood staring at the newcomers in un-
disguised astonishment. Hardy
swerved and hastened toward them
his eyes bright and cold. The two
men glanced at one another and ad-
vanced to meet him halfway.
Dupont was the first to speak: "By
Gar, Cap, we sure are mighty glad to
see you agin all safe and sound! !!
Thought you'd gone and lost yourself
on that cussed mountain. The p'leece
are back there now, looking for you"
"And you two are here, 1 see," dry
ly rejoined Hardy.
II beg your pardon, Captain Hardy"
replied Vandervyn, his eyes flashing
with quick anger. "You told me to go
ahead and guard Marie"
II added for you to send the police
around to flank the assassin"
Vandervyn drew himself up stiffly.
"You have my word, sir, that heard
nothing of that"
'In common decency, you might
have returned to see what had become
Of me-" returned Hardy.
Dupont hastened to interpose: "MIr.
Van got the idea you meant us to rush
Marie through here to the mine. where
she'd be safe. So we lit out fast as
we could. The p'leece found your
mare, but lost your trail up in the
rocks. First thing this morning we
sent the whole bunch back to trail
you"
The honest bluhness OF Dupont's
tone and his Straightforward statement
compelled belief. Hardy nodded.
svery well. could not expect that
either Of you would trouble 10 70 back
for me-

CHAPTER x-Continued.

When Hardy saw the couple ride
ebead he would have ordered them
hack hnd not Dupont again assured
him that the girl would not be in the
slightest danger at any time during
the trip.
"You we're not so certain of the
fricndllness of the Indians toward her
the other day" remarked Hardy.
Dupont scratched his head. "Well,
no, | wasn't, Cap; that's no lie. That
there, though, was diff'rent. I'm going
now by what Mr.. Van says about the
feeling in the camps. Wisht felt as
sure about you"
"Neyer mind about me. II your
daughter is safe. that Is quite sutfi-
cient You say this mine Is centrally
located with relation to the various
camps. We will go to 1t first and en-
deavor to get the tribe to meet us there
In council"
AT the minc?" mumbled Dupont.
"We-e-ll, you're the boss"
The party now entered Sioux Creek
canyon and followed the narrow path
uIuHSsiAIt tilt lol lhNs NhhiN
to the first small Indian camp. The
Indians met Marie and Vandervyn
with friendly greetings. but looked ut
Hardy with stolid concealment of
III feeling that. according to Dupont,
BODIED III for the new agents rccep-
ton in the larger camps. Hardy set
his jaw and ordered the party to start
en- into the mountains.
Noon found the party over twenty
miles from the agency by trail, though
less than half that distance in an air
line. They had come upon no more In
dian camps and had seen no more In
dians. Late afternoon found them far
In among the mountains, with snowy
peaks on every side. Yet they were
still long ten miles by trail from
their destination. Upon learning from
Dupont that there was no desirable
camp-site nearer than the mine, Hardy
asked his companion to ride forward
and urge all to faster pace.
The rest of the party had rounded
heap of rock that lowered up like n
ruined castle at the ridge summit, and
'andervyn was about to follow them
out of sight, when the thoroughbred
came to full stop, thirty yards down
the trail, at the foot of the steepest
part of the climb. Considerate of the
lact that his tall mount was Mt n dis
advantage in such situation as com
pared with the lowcr-set ponies, Hardy
old not urge the mare to carry him up
the ascent.

OF the saddle. The suddenness of the
movement alone saved him from the
bullet that pinged down the mountain
