CHAPTER Xxx.
The Registration.


At noon the following day the COM
missioners came out to the butte, and
announced the conditions Of the land
opening. All entrymen were to start
from the coulee at given signal, to
be made at ten o'clock in the morning
Of the second day following. Any per-
son who started before the signal
would be disqualified.
A tent was set up for the commits
siOners in the coulee bottom, on he
reservation side of the dwindled
stream, and the chairman and secre-
tary proceeded to take the signatures,
thumb prints and descriptions Of the
waiting colony Of prospectors and cow
boys.
Since Hardy and Marie had first
come upon the camp, the number of
men had twice doubled. Yet, owing
to the obscure manner in which the
proposed opening had been advertised.
there were absurdly few of them, all
told, compared to the multitudes at
other governmental land openings. Per-
haps with view toward covering this
discrepancy, the commissioners had Or
dered full descriptions of every con-
testant, and so managed to cover many
sheets of paper and to consume much
time.
The recording was we'll under way
when Vandervyn and Dupont came
down to the camp. Neither made any
attempt to push into the line of entry
men. But Dupont read the posted no.

frowned, and remarked to Vandervyn
that he wished to show him something

looked bored, yet borrowed pony, and

camp.
"What is it?" he asked. "Have you

Dupont shook his head. "Don't you

the kind to stand for no funny busi-
| ness"
"They'l have to stand for it, If
they don't understand it," punned
Vandervyn. "In this game three of q
kind beat all the jacks in the pack"
"You best keep your head shut, just
the same. Them punchers IL ride the
hardest, and they're mighty sharp to
see the difference between horses

their feet. They'll think me a fool,
and drop behind, to overhaul me later.
Now, if that's all you have to tell
me-"
He wheeled his borrowed pony to
ride back.
'Hold on!" replied Dupont, frowning
uneasily. II want to talk over fixing
up about the way we share the mine.' -
Vandervyn lifted his eyebrows.
"Aren't you satisfied? Now that Red
bear is-out Of the way, there will be
none to question our sharing of the
mine between u.s.
tits between us, all right" sullenly
replied Dupont. ''Tain't in writing,
