There were still better reasons for
the worldly wise to .shun the company
of the officer so lately distinguished
for his services in the Philippines. IT
was whispered that the interests for
which he had been diligently lobbying
since midsummer were opposed to the
interests of the pro-administration
group of which the eminent Senator
Clemmer was the leader More openly
the fact was bruited about that he
was to be subjected to trial by court
martial on grave charges.
For he was still in the service.
Upon his return from the hard-won
race for the mine. he had filed his
claim with the commissioners, and
iourneyed on as soon as possible to
the railroad. There he had sold his
mare at low price. but with the OPP
ton of buying her back within year.
He had then started east, too intent
upon his purpose to delay even for a
telegram from Vancouver barracks,
and never doubling that his command
ing officer had granted him the Gus
tomary leave of absence pending the
acceptance of his unconditional and
immediate resignation.
Great had been his CONSERVATION
when, the day of his arrival in Wash
ington, he had reported himself at the
war department. Not only had leave
of absence been denied him and all
action on his resignation been suspend
ed; he had been posted for desertion.
However, his record on the one hand,
and the indecent haste of the attack
on the other, had brought about suffi-
cient Intervention by members of the
general staff to cause several months
delay in the plan of his enemies to
crush him. Action on the charges filed
| against him by the Indian commission
ers and by his commanding officer had
been postponed from month to month.
Meantime he had been placed under
the nominal arrest of confinement to
the limits of the District OF Columbia,
which left him free to pursue the ends
| for which he had come east To his
1 sui HO COnlcSI ndU DSeu ulGU
against his mineral claim. On the con-
trary, he had soon found himself le-
| gally entitled to assign the mine to
Marie. His carefully drawn and duly
witnessed conveyance had started west
in the next mail. Marie's note of ac-
acknowledgement stated the esteem and
gratitude of the writer in the most
correct and conventional of terms.
| His progress toward the accomplish.
ment of his second purpose had been
far less smooth. In fact, after months
of persistent endeavor, he could not
| be sure that he had made any prog
ress whatever. He had not been bar
red from an inspection of the docu-
ments relating to the new treaty with
the tribe, and among them he had
found Vandervyn's alleged contract. II
purported to appoint the young man
attorney and tribal representative and
to fix his compensation at twenty per
cent of any moneys appropriated to
the tribe in payment for the coded
mineral lands.
/ Hardy had at first considered the
signatures forged. But examination
with a microscope had shown him that
the thumb prints were identical with
those on the memorandum of the pro-

PUTTING Wheels Under workmen.

The problem of interior and exterior
transportation in one of the largest
and busiest ammunition plants in this
country-a plant, by the way, which
was constructed in IL months--has
been solved by the adoption of automo-
biles, motorcycles, motor trucks, hand
trucks, roller skates and bicycles. The
plant is worked at high pressure for
"a hours a day. and consists of ID
main units and II service buildings,
each with a main corridor one-half
mile long. To inspect the various
shops entails q walk of nearly ten
miles, exclusive of the stairways. The
combined floor area is 100000
square feet. Between 1900 and 49,
600 employees are on its pay roll

had been quick TO perceive that his
only chance of defeating the outrage
Gus contract was to bring about either
an executive or congressional inves-
! tigat1on. There had been no difficulty
in 6ivining the manner in which Van
dervyn had obtained the signatures at
the tribal council.
Yet so far his ever. move had been
blocked. He had interested one man
of official position or influence after
another, only to be met later with eva
sion or prOcrastination or even out
right rebuffs. One door after another
had been shut in his face. at last he
had found himself regarded as
