 "No, no, Mr. Vani He can't find out They don't know about what you and me Nobody saw us-nobody. If there'd been a fresh track anywhere inside quarter-mile, I couldn't have missed it."
 Vandervyn shrugged. 'Tm not so sure of that. You are not a full-blood tracker. But what if that is covered? It's bad enough. As soon as he finds out about the mine, he will kick the whole bunch of us off the reservation. That's the kind of fool he is.'
 "He can't put me off. I'm member of the tribe."
 "Yes, and Jake is a member by mar l riage. Lots of good that will do you both-in the guardhouse."
 Redbear cringed at the word. "But my sister He won't put me in."
 "Wait and see when he finds out how things have been going here. Let him find out anything against you, and it's Charlie in the jug, with his job gone glimmering."
 The halfbreed looked up, his eyes desperate, his face set in the grin of a cornered rat. He muttered a curse.
 "That's it, boy!" encouraged Van dervyn. Don't lay down. We're with you. But remember, we've got to make bluff. It's up to us to bluff him off, or throw down."
 q don't understand you, MT. Van."
 Here it is, then. He doesn't know a word of Lakotah. The tribe doesn't know English. You are the interpreter. Get that?'
 Redbear shook his head. 'No, l don't"
 "Yes, you do, Charlie. We've already told Hardy that there is lot of bad blood stirred up. It will be easy to translate the talk of the chiefs that way. You can start in by telling them how he pacified the Moros. He killed

suggested Hardy.
 ''That would take a long time to bring about, and meantime the young bucks should be taught to work. Why wouldn't it be a good idea for us to take charge of the mine-pay all who want to work at fair wages, and take the risk of getting our money back out of the ore shipments?"
 As Vandervyn made the suggestion, he smiled ingenuously, and his hand some, flushed face shone with philan- thropic enthusiasm. Hardy's face light ed with responsive glow. He smiled into the boyish blue eyes.
 ''The proposal does you credit" he responded. You may count, on me to contribute my share"
 'You will, will you, Cap?" exclaimed Dupont. He reached out his thick-fin- gered hand. You're in, hey? Put it there, old pard! Just you make them damn ki-yi-s savvy they've got to hustle for what we give 'em, like No gen done, and we'll round up fifty thousand apiece before snow fiies."
 "What's that?" demanded Hardy, in- stantly stiffening to stern rigidity.
 He failed to catch the furious glance from Vandervyn that sent their half fuddled host lurching over to the whisky bottle. When he did turn, the chief clerk met his hard glance with knowing wink and a chuckling com ment: "Spiff1ed!"
 Hardy did not smile. Explain" he ordered.
 "Oh-you mean Jake's pipe dream that this low-grade stuff may some time turn into a streak of solid gold. But of course you wouldn't stand for the three of us dividing up the pro- ceeds, even if it did turn out a bo- nanza?"
 Certainly not"
 "Your idea would be to give all the profits to the tribe, even if we had bought the ore and taken che risk of it's turning out worthless?"
 q am the acting agent, not trader"
 "Nom' chienI" muttered Dupont ''That ain't no way to treat a white man, Cap. Won't you let 'em tratIe me no more ore?"
 'I shall investigate before I decide"
 
 said Hardy, and he rose to leave. Good evening. Good evening, MT. Vandervyn."
 He went out. Dupont gaped. after him, and grunted incredulously: Fifty thousand-madei it fifty thousand, and he didn't jump at it!'
 ''Told you so," snapped Vandervyn. ''But we'll fix him yet-two more cards up our sleeve. If one fails to take the trick, we'll play the other. We're not going to be bluffed out at this stage of the game"
 Dupont caught at the whisky bottle with a shaking hand. "No, by Gar," he protested. "We don't play that other card, MT. Van. I quit first"
 "Oh, -well," replied Vandervyn, 'ff you're going to throw down, shall not try to play it alone. But you're in on the next play"
 Dupont grunted, and poured himself a full glass of whisky.

A Bob Sled Party

A party of Williams young people had a very enjoyable bobsled party last night. They had an exhilerating ride out on the Canyon road and then re- turning, pulled off a surprise at the E. A. Phillips home and were entertained with games and music. From the Phillips home they went to the home of MT. and Mrs. Basham where they were again enter tained and refreshments were served. The bracing air of the evening and the high spirits of the young folks made the occa- sion a frolic to be remembered. The party was made up of Messrs Ralph Mclean, Carl Hinds, Rube Miller, Ray Hea- ton, Bert Phillips, Raymond Stevens and Claude Thomasson and the Misses Minnie Miller, Gertrude Buchanan, Aletha Buchanan, Riola Phillips and MT. and Mrs. Basham.

"Good boy!" praised vandervyn. ''Had your breakfast? Yes? Then trot up to the agency and pass the time of day to the chiefs as they come Tn. It will help things along to post them beforehand. Don't forget that Hardy is cold-hearted army martinet who despises Indians. He is planning to stop all issue goods, and intends to punish the chiefs for the killing of No gen. But if he leaves the reservation, I become the agent. will make no trouble over Nogen, and will see that the government keeps giving issue goods to the tribe for long time. That's the talk. Now trot along and get them screwed up."
 "Olnna?" said Redbear.
 Don't waste time going back" re- piled Vandervyn. "Tl stop and tell your sister not to expect you home un- til after the council. Get busy-Wait. We can work in the police. Tell them they are ordered to wait at the guard house until the council is under way. They are then to march around and post themselves behind Hardy, fully armed. If the chiefs get angry, they are to close up around Hardy. Are you on?'
 Redbear responded with an eager nod, and started off at a jog trot. Van- dervyn smiled, turned his pony about, and rode back to the cabin. Without diSmounting, he reached down and knocked, the door opened a scant inch and Oinna peeped out at the visitor.
 "'Lo," he said in an indifferent tone. "I brought word to your brother that he was wanted at once. Told him I would let you know. He will not be home until after the council"
 '"Thank you, sir," murmured the girl.
 "No trouble at all," replied Wander vyn. "You don't happen to have a drink of goed water handy, do you?"
 Instinctive hospitality overcame the girls shyness. Her tall young figure and handsome face appeared as the door swung open.
 'I boil the water. Do you like teal" she asked in f1utelike voice.
 "All right"
 When she returned to the door, he was tightening his saddle girth. He kept her waiting several moments be- fore he turned to take the cup of tea. The hand that held the cup was rough from hard work, but the girls cheap calico dress was neat and clean and it covered form as supple and erect as a reed. Unlike her brother, she had in- herited only the good features of her parents. The blend of types apparent

Sunrise found Vandervyn riding pinto. He left the road and cantered across into the bend where Redbear had pointed out his new house to Hardy. When Vandervyn rode up, Redbear was shoveling clay upon the uncovered brush thatch at one corner of the roof. The halfbreed did not stop work until his visitor drew rein almost within arms reach. Vandervyn met his civil greeting with a cynical smile.
 ~."So you've builded you a home. Charlie. How's your sister Wilma? That's the name, isn't it"
 "No, we say it O-ee-nah. The school people made her get up at four. told her to sleep all day, If she liked"
 "Come up the creek. I want to tell you something" replied Vandervyn. When they had gone beyond earshot of the cabin, he stopped his pony and faced the uneasy halfbreed with look of sympathetic concern. Charlie, it's all up."
 Redbear's face turned mottled gray. "All-all up" he gasped.
 Amounts to the same thing" an- swered Vandervyn. "We sounded him last night. He won't sit in to the game the board-backed fool! No chance to deal with him, and you know what that means. Next thing, he'll have 1t

 "But if that is lie-'
 "It isn't. It's exactly what hap pened. The Moro head chief was kept in jail until he was hung. Be sure to tell that to old Thunderbolt. If it fails to warm him"
 "Hoganny-hunk! !' gasped Redbear. ''They once put him in jail for a week. If tell him, it will make him fighting mad"
 ''That's what we want. I'll post you to interpret what he says, in way that will get Hardy's goat. No man has nerve to stand up to whole tribe. He will have to quit. Then the job comes to me. You know what that means"
 "You promised me full share"
 "Yes, and that means a third of the net proceeds, now that Nogen is out of the way. Only, remember, you get nothing-none of us gets a cent more out of tiff Hardy stays. It's up to you now, Charlie. You turn the trick and get your share; or you fall down, lose share and job, and go to the guard house-on your way to the federal penitentiary. Which is it to be?'
