 The girl turned her face still farther away from him. 'I cannot endure You shall not think of me that way"
 q beg your pardon, Miss Dupont" he apologized. "It is most inconsiderate and ungenerous of me to lie here claim ing your sympathy on false pretenses. feel my strength coming back. It must be that the bullet merely graZed my head"
 Before she could prevent him, he twisted about and raised himself on his elbow.
 "Oh!" she remonstrated. "You should not move."
 He forced a laugh between his clenched teeth.
 "No, it's what I thought-only a scratch. All right now, except for little dizziness. I have been imposing on your sympathy Did you see where the shot came from? I must go and rout out the rascal"
 The girl grasped his rifle and sprang up away from him.
 "You shall not go," she declared. '1'm sure he ran away the moment you fell"
 Hardy strengthened on his knees and rose unsteadRy to his feet. His voice was as firm as his pose was lottery: "Be so kind as to help me to mount"
 Hardy turned his mare down the cou- lee. Marie, despite his protests, rode between him and the ridge behind which she had seen the blanketed man.

ner. q daresay he will forget me as soon as he gets back to civilization unless I decide to accept his proposal"
 Vandervyn stared at her cynically. "You needn't try to rag me, Marie." She smiled. "So you do doubt what I say. Yet it is true. Captain Hardy did me the honor of declaring that he wished to marry me-"
 ''Hardy asked you?-he, a captain in the regular army!"
 And I a quarterbreed, the daughter of my father. Amazing, is it not?"
 Vandervyn caught himself up as he saw the proud humility of her express sion. It was new look to him. He had often seen her proud, but never humble. His jealousy f1ared: "How did you answer him? You didn't ac- cept-you refused the old board back"
 "Yes and no, that is, not yet" the girl leased.
 Vandervyn stepped close and grasped her arm.
 Be so kind as to release me, MT. Vandervyn."
 You coquette! You're trying to play me against him."
 ''So that is what you think of me?" The girl wrenched herself free and turned from him haughtily.
 He stepped forward, and again grasped her arm. His voice shook with jealous anger: "You shall have nothing to do with him! He shall not have you!'
 'Indeed! May I ask what right you have to dictate?"
 You love me, that is why" he flung back at her. "YOu love me, Marie. You can't deny it." His voice sank to a deep, ardent, golden note that sent a tremor through her. You are mine -minel You know it. Your arm quivers-that look in your eyes! You

At the Broken Mountain.

When, at dusk, Dupont rode up to his house, Hardy was still on the cot on the porch. Vandervyn stood at the far end, puffing hard at cigar as he watched Dupont approach.
 The sound of the traders bluff voice wakened Hardy from his doze and brought Marie to the door.
 'NO, not track not one single sign nowhere" Dupont was saying to Van dervyn. Thought I'd ride in and send out more of the pleece With fcod."
 Every good" said Hardy. "We must track down the man, else others may follow his example,

down the scoundre1. Jake can inter- bret, if I'm unable to make them un- derstand."
 "GOod!" said Hardy.
 Vandervyn shot at Marie a glance of jealous anger, and put spurs to his pinto. But when they reached the valley and saw through the glasses the squad of police only just leaving the agency, Marie conjectured that the jaded pinto had slowed to a walk while going up the valley.
 At last Marie and Hardy reached the agency. With the assistance of Van dervyn, who came out of the Dupont house to meet them, he was helped down from his mare to a cot in the shady porch. Here in the open air Marie washed the wound and took sev- eral stitches to draw the edges to- gether.
 During the operation, which Hardy endured without a groan, Vandervyn stood by, watching Marie's face with sullen jealousy. The moment she had rebandaged the wound, he suggested that it would be well to leave Hardy quiet. In reply she asked him to go for ice. When he returned, he found her sitting beside the cot, fan in hand. Hardy had fallen asleep. She rose and went into the house, and Wander vyn followed her.
 The young man made no attempt to conceal his anger. He closed tie par Tor door and turned upon her accus- ingly. "So that's wEat you've been up to all the time I've been away"
 up to what, pray?'
 "Coquetting with that old fossil of a tin soldier"
 "Am I not dutiful daughter?" the girl parried. "Mon pere said I must make myself agreeable to the agent"
 "He did?'
 "Why not go and ask him, if you doubt what I say?"
 q don't. That's just it-damn it all!"
 The girls eyes flashed with resent ment, but her voice was sweetly mock ing: "Oh, MT. Vandervyn, how can you? Captain Hardy never Swore once during all our delightful rides.''
 You've been riding with him every dayT
 "All except one. I've been sorry ever since that I missed that one. He was invariably courteous. He is gentleman"
 'You infer that I am not" ex- claimed Vandervyn. "So he's courteous and smooth and slick, is he? One might know that you've been raised in the backwoods."
 "You forget I spent four years at the capital of Canada"
 "In a convent! No wonder you've let him play you"
 The girl met the jeer with a tantaliz- ing smile.
 'It has been most amusing game. He treats me with as much respect as if were young lady of his own set"
 'There's no one else here for him to f1irt with.''
 ''That is an advantage, is it not?" The girl dropped into her English man.

 Unable to endure the jar of trot or gallop, Hardy urged the mare to her fastest walk. They had gone less than mile when a horseman came lopirg up the slope from Sioux creek.
 "It is MT. Vandervyn," said Hardy in an even tone."
 'Yes," she replied. She handed back the glasses, but did not look at him until Vandervyn rode up.
 The young mans face was flushed, as if he had been drinking. When he pulled up before them, he was seeming ly so struck with Hardy's appearance that he scarcely needed Marie's joyful greeting.
 "What's the matter, captain?" he ex- claimed. "fou're as white as ghost and your head tied up! You must have come nasty cropper."
 "Bit of an accident. Not serious," replied Hardy.
 Ut could not well have been closer" said Marie. Captain Hardy has been shot"
 "Shot?" cried Vandervyn.
 'The bullet grazed the bone above the temple. Had it been half an inch lower or farther back, it must have killed him."
 Half an inch," repeated Vandervyn. His face crimsoned, and the veins of his forehead began to swell. "Where is the fellow? Did he get away? How long ago was it? Loan me the mare, Hardy. I'll run him down."
 every good of you to offer," said Hardy. "But the rascal might ambush you. We'll order out squad of po- lice. Besides, I wish your report on your trip. I presume Redbear is at the agency"
 'No." Vandervyn turned a scowling face towards the butte, as if angrily eager to be off in pursuit of the would be assassin.

 "Yes. All the chiefs took a violent dislike to you; and they had stirred up the whole tribe. Charlie and I talked and talked. You know a white man can talk Indians into anything, if he keeps at it.''
 "What result?" snapped Hardy.
 Vandervyn shrugged. q know we irnnrnSCinn oSnnnio11Iy old Thunderbolt.

 'Tomorrow?" demonstrated Marie. "Your wound-you must wait at least until 1t has begun to heal. And in the meantime Redbear and Oinna will be talking Ti-owa-konza and his camp into milder mood"
 "That last is a most excellent argu- ment," said Hardy, and his firmly compressed lips curved in smile at the girl. q shall take your advice, Miss Dupont"
 Vandervyn had drowned over the concern in Marie's voice. Hardy's re- sponse started the veins of his fore head swelling. He looked off away from the two, and remarked in a cas- ual voice: "I'll ride in ahead and or der out a squad of policemen to track

not fatally wounded. After pause, he began to speak with the calmness that sometimes masks the most profound feeling:
 You scarcely know me--but, in the circumstances, I trust you will pardon me for-not waiting. I love you. From the first I thought you the most beauti- full girl had ever seen. Now know you to be the most lovely-your soul as beautiful as your face. Do not shake your head. It is the truth'
 She averted her shame-flushed face, 1T cannot permit you to speak to me this way"
 You are too good and kind to refuse to hear me-" he replied In the same calm voice. "I know about him. know I have no chance, dear. He is young and handsome; wbile T." The pale lips curved in quiZzical smile.
 The girls bosom heaved. The tears overran her brimming eyes. You are are generous! I did not think any man could be so generous"
 Again his lips curved whimsically. Perhaps I am generous because there is no other course open I would ask you-would urge you-to marry me, if I thought had even a fighting chance of winning you"
 ''Marry you! You would ask me? Yet you know what my father is like; and you army people are so proud. I, an Indian quarterbreed, and my father what he is I'

master. The manner in which he had fallen showed that the shot had come from up the coulee. Flinging herself from her pony, she plucked Hardy's rife out of it's sheath and leveled it across the saddle. But she could see no sign of the assassin, and no sec ond bullet came whirring across the coulee. Without second look up the coulee, she bent over to rip the hem from her underskirt. This gave her a bandage. Her own and Hardy's hand kerchiefs served for compress. Swift ly she bound them on the long wound above his temple and stopped the bleeding.
 When at last he opened his eyes, his head was in her lap. He gazed up into her down-bent face, his mind still in a daZe. A frown of pain creased his forehead. He murmured, in the queru- lous tone of a sick child: "Mother- mother!''
 Instinctively her soft hand began to smooth away the frown with a gentle, caressing touch. His eyes closed in restful contentment. The girl con- tinued to stroke his forehead. Sud denly his eyelids lifted, and he looked up with the clear, bright gaze of full consciousness. He saw the womanly compassion in her beautiful face. Her eyes were tender and lustrous with sympathy for his suffering.
 "Marie !" he murmured. "It is you! Fl thought my mother"

 "Shot? In the head?" He lay still, considering this. Her look had not altered under his gaze. From her utter lack of self-consciousness he divined that she thought him dangerously if

 The report of the rifle had yet to reach Hardy's ear when he peered over the mares withers in search of the

 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 h. dianS. Late afternoon found them far in among the mountains, with snowy peaks on every side. Yet they were still a 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 a faster pace.
 The rest of the party had rounded a heap of rock that lowered up like a ruined castle at the ridge summit, and Vandervyn 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 fact that his tall mount was at a dis advantage in such a situation as con- pared with the lower-set ponies, Hardy did not urge the mare to carry him up the ascent.
