Ito moment his eyes cleared the Hnl.' hlderbrush below the few scattered p.nrs he perceived the flicker of the fire for which he was looking. He could make out the ap pearance of the dark forms around the fire, but their number and the half dozen white tepees grouped around the fire told him that he had not found the camp of his party.
 He had no more than made this dis covery when a number of yelping, snarling mongrel dogs rushed out at him like a pack of wolves. He met their attack by swinging his rifle bar rel around in a circle. The cowardly CUTS closed about him, but were afraid to leap in within reach of the club. He had not stopped his advance. Nor did he pause or hesitate when over the heads of the leaping, yelling pack he saw the Indian women and children scurry to the tepees and the bucks spring up with their bows and guns.

lotting of tribal land in severa1ty. He added that if there was gold on any of the reservation land it would be we'll for the tribe to sell that part of what they owned; otherwise bad white men would, sooner or later, come in and steal it.
 More than half convinced of Har- dy's sincerity, though with still lin gering suspicion, Ti-owa-konza eX- plained in turn that the tribe was not only willing to allot the farming land of the reservation and sell the min eral land, but a treaty to that effect had been agreed upon by the tribe, the previous year. All that remained to 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- ceivc no more issue goods. Chief Van and Big-mouth Oupont) 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 it became known what he intended to do for the tribe.
 After the old chief finished this ex- planation, Hardy found himself 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 a council at 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, Oin- na 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 CT.
 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 Ti- owa-konza with greeting as friendly as it was dignified, though Hardy had to surmise it's 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- plained to Hardy that the mine was only a mile away across the mountain, he declined the offer of saddleless mount, took ceremonious leave of the old chief and set out up the mountain side with the girl and a 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 a steep and rocky incline into 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 were within fifty yards of it 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 1 Gar, Cap, we sure are mighty glad to see you ag'in 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, I see," dry 1y rejoined Hardy.
 q beg your pardon, Captain Hardy" replied Vandervyn, his eyes flashing with quick anger. You told me to go ahead and guard Marie"
 q added for you to send the police around to flank the assassin" 1 Vandervyn drew himself up stiffly. "You have my word, sir, that I heard nothing of that"
 ''In common decency, you might have returned to see what had become of me-" returned Hardy. Dupont hastened to interpose: ''Mr. 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 bluffness of Dupont's tone and his straightforward statement compelled belief. Hardy nodded. Very we'll. 1 could not expect that

could to git him to pay 'em," mumbled

could to git him to pay 'em," mumbled Dupont.
 "Of course! But he I did not think him so mean!" The girls eyes blazed and her nostrils dilated. "SO that was why he was shot? I don't blame the man who did it-I could have done it myself! The thief! !- Reggie, if only you had let the killer escape!"
 Couldn't" tersely replied Wander vyn. "He was blood-mad-wouldh have got Charlie and me, too, if we hadn't got him."
 "That was self-defense," said Har- dy. "It 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 locoedr",
 Mot so loud, if you please" quietly replied Hardy. 1.-The ore is not yours."
 That's all you know about it." blus- tered the trader. "Ain't I one of the discoverers and locators of the lode?"
 ''The lode is not subject to location. It is on Indian land."
 "What if it is? Ain't a member of the tribe?"
 ''The tribal land has not vet been allotted in severalty. Every: square foot of ground on the reservation be longs to the tribe as a whole. No one member can hold individual stitle to any of it." E
 "Well, what of it?" demanded Du- pont, far from silenced. If tie 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, 1 shall make no objection. You will be able to cheat them of only a few thousand dollars before the new treaty is con- summated and all this mineral land opened to location and entry under the mining laws"
 
 forehead were swollen and pulsating with his furious anger. He spoke in a high, airy tone: "So you are going to pull wires tc get our mine taken away from us?"
 q shall see that justice is done to- ward the tribe," said Hardy, and he fixed the younger man with glance that compelled him to blink and look aside.
 But now Marie's sw.ft-lnounting scorn and anger burst out in a storm of nassion:
