ChicagO.-Mrs. Nellie Hantz, wife of
workman, and long regarded by her
friends and neighbors as. simple
housekeeper, devoted to her home and
her round of domestic duties, is under
arrest, charged with being one Of the
most expert housebreakers and rob-

her dangerous business purely for the
love Of adventure. She profited little
by her operations and on several &C.

after looting the home Of some friend
or neighbor, she would carry her spOils

been for the alert eyes of women who

Vandervyn's face. His embrace re-
laxed, and for a moment he stood
staring over the girls head, his lip
between his teeth.

quick to sense the change that had
come upon him.
At the candid confession his eyes
again glowed, and again he crushed
her to him.
"You love me! You own It'll" he
cried. "You are mine!"
''NO!"
With a sudden, violent thrust for
which he was all unprepared, she
burst from his clasp and sprang clear
of him. ~ go

When he perceived the look in her
eyes, he picked up his hat and left
the house without attempting to argue.

into her dainty little bedroom, to
sink on her knees before the crucifix
at the foot Of her bed.

CHAPTER XVI.
The Fighting Chance.

Vandervyn was up before dawn.
But Marie was up an hour earlier, and
sent her father over to make sure that
her lover came for the breakfast she
had prepared for him. While he ate,
she stocked his saddlebags for the
trip, and gave the pinto good feed
Of oats.
He tried to see her alone, and
failed. She was too clever for him.
But when he went out to mount, she
permitted him single parting kiss in

Dupont had saddled one of his own

in the dim starlight, he bit off a
"chaw" of plug tobacco, squinted at
the vague form of his companion, and
chuckled.

Vandervyn.

"Wait and see me rub his fur the
other way! I'll put over game on

disclosure, and began asking QueS-
tons about the traits of the five
chiefs chosen as tribal delegates.
Half an hour after sunrise Dupont
came jogging back home. his heavy
face set in q satisfied grin. The COM
placency of his look lessened when he
entered, and saw the Indian boy re-
moving the evidences of someone's
solitary meal. He knocked at his
daughters door. After quite delay
she called to him that he might enter.
He found her seated at the foot of the
bed with little leather-bOund book
in her lap. Though her eyelids were
swollen, she met him with her usual
look Of quiet self-pOssessiOn.

CHAPTER xIv-Continued.

Hardy was greeted with murmur
of welcome and admiration, and the
crowd made path through their
midst to the inner ring of the chiefs.
Followed by Redbear, Vandervyn and
Oinna, he walked along the passage
between the living walls of silent,
furtvc-cyed Indians, and seated him
self on the blanket that had been
spread for him beside old Ti-Owa-
konza. Shortly before the. start down
into the valley Vandervyn had again
borrowed his superior'S writing pad
and fountain pen. He now sat down
at Hardy's shoulder, with the pad and
pen ready. .
After q ceremonious silence the
head chiefs crier announced the pur-
pose of the council. This was fol-
lowed by declamationS from three or
ators, whose main purpose seemed to
be to give an exhibition of their abil-
fly in painting word pictures. When
they had finished, Ti-Owa-kOnza arose,
and warmed the hearts of his people
with an impassiOned eulogy of their
new friend, the chief of the Long
knives, who had come to be father
to the tribe.
Hardy then explained the good that
had resulted on other reservations

LIKE PIECE OF FARMLAND
Remarkable Cavern, Known as Shat
tuck Cave, Discovered When
Miner Sets Off Blast.

A blast in the Shattuck mine In
Arizona, set for the purpose of bring
ing down ore, was responsible for the
discovery of remarkable cavern, now
known as Shattuck Cave, which has
yielded unusual mineral specimens,
some of the finest of which have been
added to the collection at the Michigan
College of Mines.
When the miner who had been work
ing in that part Of the 300-fOot level
returned with the night shift he found
great opening that reached farther
than his light could penetrate. Look
ing upward, he could see tiny lights
flashing, and, in the belief that they
were stars, he ran back to the shaft
and declared that he had blasted a
hole clear through the surface.
On investigating tho mine official
found that the blast had opened a
great circular cavern 345 feet in diam
eter and 175 feet high, which seemed
like piece of fairyIand. On the roof
myriads of crystals reflected the lights
from the miners lamp. The walls, the
roof and the floor We're covered with
great clusters of crystals. and near the
center of the cavern a mass of stalac-
tites, 40 feet long, hung from the cell
ing like a great chandelier.
For the most part the crystals were
pure white. but in places where the
fltering waters had contained iron and
copper great transparent stalactites
and stalagmites, some ruby red, 9TH

way he cam"
The girl sprang up, her eyes afire
with flare of unreaSOning anger.

the girls cheeks deepened to a rose.
Notes of indignation and JOY mingled
oddly in her half-murmured predic-
ton: "He will come back! That med
der shall not prevent"
"You won't go and git Cap down on
us, will your demonstrated Dupont.
"Wait and see," she replied.
When, at the usual supper hour,
Hardy presented himself at the Du-
pont door, his bearing was reserved
and somewhat diffident. Dupont, who
was alone in the parlor, genially bsde
him enter. But Hardy fingered in the
doorway until Marie appeared.
Pardon me, Miss Dupont" he said,
as he met her look of surprise. 81

that brought glow into his grave
face. what should we do without

"You are very kind to say it."
She smiled. "Where have you been
keeping yourself all day?"
II rode up Wolf river to the falls.
A canal to irrigate large area could
be led down from there. and later on
1 believe a dam could be constructed
above the falls at q comparatively
small cost. 1t would convert the val
ley above into a large storage reser-
voir, to hold the winter floods"
"You must show me your plans at
the falls themselves J" declared Marie
with an enthusiasm more gratifying
to him than would have been q per-
sonal compliment.
They went in to supper, earnestly
discussing his plans for the betterment
of the tribe.

they found great collection of ar
ticles, some valuable, some not
watches, bracelets, cheap combs, toilet
articles, vases, embroidery, handker-
chiefs and trinkets, clothing, petit
coats and shoes.
The woman, on the advice of the
officers, decided to make clean breast
of her operations. Although she made
an honest effort, the woman could not
definitely estimate the number of her

tOtaled 200.

Do you believe that Marie is
as crooked as her father and

be able to get square deal for
the Indians?

Might Move Some Time.

Being economical Is an excellent vir-
tue, but old Skinflint had practiced this
quality to such an extent that with him
it had become almost vice. His wife
was sometimes driven almost to the
verge of distraction by his meanness.
The climax came when they moved in
to new house. When old Skinflint
was out his wife thought she would re-
paper the walls of the drawing room so
as to make it look attractive and
pretty. But when Skinflint saw it he
nearly had fit.

'Why, how else could l have done
it," meekly answered his wife.
"How else?" he retorted. "You should
have tackled it on. You don't suppose
we shall always live in this house, do
yOu?"

betrayed surprise. Ti-owa-konza no
iced this sooner than Hardy. He
spoke to his granddaughter. The girl
cast timid look at Vanderyyn and
hesitated.
Her brother smiled cunningly and
said: tits all right. Tell him."
What's that|" queried Hardy.
'Nothing-nothing, SIR" quavered
the girl. 'Only, Charlotte added
something to what you said"
81 put in that you and Mr.. Van
would try to get them big pay for
the mineral lands" boldly explained
Redbear.
Surely you've no objection to that,
captain" remarked Vandervyn.
"Was that aI?" Hardy asked the
girl.
'Yes, sir. He only"
"Very WELL. have no objection to
the statement. But / now must de-
cidedly insist upon an exact inter-
probation of what say. Miss Red
bear, you will tell me at once if your
brother either fails to interpret what
tell him or makes any additions"
Yes, sir, if" faltered Oinna. Her
covert glance of appeal met with q
reassuring smile from Vandervyn. She
ventured to look up at Hardy, and her
voice became steadier: 'Yes, sir, of
course. Only Charlie was just trying
to help, and he won't do it again."
Hardy resumed his explanations and
advice. When he had finished, several
more orators had to exhibit their elo-
quence. The council then proceeded
to accept the acting agents advice and
name a delegation. AS Ti-owa-konza
insisted that he was too old to ven
ture so long journey among the
white men, five Of the younger sub
chiefs and headmen were chosen to
represent the tribe.
During the closing ceremonies of
the council Vandervyn leaned forward
beside Hardy, and showed him an alb
breviated but accurate memorandum
of the proceedings.
! "It's as we'll to have these things
In black and white" he suggested.
1--WE could get the chiefs to sign this
before the council breaks up"
"Very good. A record may be valu-
able for future reference" agreed
Hardy.
He rapidly read the writing, inter
polated few words, added a line,
and gave it to Redbear to interpret.
When the council acknowledged the
accuracy of the memorandum, Hardy
signed it, and asked the chiefs to add
their marks, with Redbear and Oinna
acting as witnesses. At this Wander
lvyn volunteered to serve as penman,
