has disclosed that he doesn't intend to
permit a tie-up, even if it be neces-
sary for the government to operate
the roads.

Permit me to wish you a pleasant journey"
 The girl turned away without reply ing. Hardy stood for a moment cool and still under Vandervyn's exultant smile; then faced about and steadily walked off along the mountain ter race.
 lie did not return to the cabin un- til the greater number of the saddle and pack ponies had been brought up from the valley and the returning party had mounted and ridden away on the back trail. Vandervyn started off with them, and Hardy's keen, hazel eyes dimmed as, leaning against a gnarled pine on the slope above, be watched the lovers ride away, side by side.
 fingered at himself for his momen- tary weakness, he sprang down the lodges to the terrace, and hastened back to talk with Redbear. He was met at the cabin door by Oinna, who placed q finger on her lips and whis- pered that her brother had at last fallen asleep.
 Hardy withdrew to the shady side of the cabin, where he sat down on his saddle and began drafting a list of in- structions for the tribal delegates to Washington. He was still writing them when, shortly before nightfall, Vandervyn' came jogging back to the mine. He had had delightful ride with Marie, and he complacently inti- mated the fact to Hardy.
 In the midst of this subtle torment ing of his rival, Oinna came out to serve the supper that she had cooked in the cabin. Vandervyn abruptly changed the subject, and began to talk about the council next day. Hardy gave no sign that he observed this sudden break, or the furtive, adoring

and mOtionless in the dim starlight. His voice shook with suppressed an- ger: You've got the drop on me now. Wait till we hear from Washington"
 Until I am relieved from my pres ent detail, shall consider myself the guardian of everyone and everything belonging to the tribe," stated Hardy.
 There followed a silence of several moments duration, in which Wander vyn must have found time to reflect. He drew back a step or two, lit his pipe, and at last remarked in a some what forced tone of conciliation: q see you're like an army mule-nO use trying to budge you when you balk. give you my word to act as a gentle man in this affair."
 ''Very well," replied Hardy.
 Vandervyn started off, sucking at his pipe. Hardy turned about, and locked the door on the outside with the heavy paddock that hung loose in the jamb staple. He put the key in his pocket, and walked around the cabin to make certain that there were no other openings larger than the narrow crevices of the loopholes.
 When he returned to the tree, he found Vandervyn already outstretched He picked up his blankets and moved down the slope, to spend the night in the more congenial company of the two remaining Indian policemen.

CHAPTER XIII.
Another Card or Two.


 A few minutes later Hardy came out of the cabin. Though grave, he was cool and alert. He at once walked up to Dupont, who sat puffing at his pipe on the top of the mine-dump.
 "Redbear seems to be quiet" he said. "Where is your daughter?"
 Dupont pointed vaguely down the mountain-side. "She went off with MT. Van, to try to smooth down his fur. You Tiled him C.! siderable, Cap.'
 q regret that 1t was necessary to reprimand you."
 "All right, Cp. I don't bear no grudge. Mebbe now you'd like to take a look at the mlne."
 "Yes," crisply agreed Hardy.
 Dupont rose and led him into the mouth of the tunnel. There he un- locked heavy tool chest and took out two candles. These were needed. for though the tunnel ran into the mountain side less than three hundred feet, it's twisting course along the ore vein soon shut out the daylight. Du- pont noticed his companions dubious look at the soft ore-body that formed the roof and one wall of the tunnel.
 Walk quiet, and don't talk loud," he said. "We ain't done no timbering yet. D 'ove in this drift to the foot of the sly fit fast as we could git the lazy cusseJ to work, sos we could figure what Ve had to count on."
 Hardy made no reply until they came to the end of the tunnel and stepped out into the dim daylight of the shaft bottom. He looked up the big, square, timbered well, and re- marked: You sank this first, then drove in to meet it.''
 "Yep. Wanted to make sure the vein didn't pinch out nowhere. Nogen and MT. Van both figured we got three hundred thousand dollars of ore as good as blocked out"
 "Ah," said Hardy, and he signed to Dupont to lead the way back.
 They had gone twenty-five or thirty paces when little slither of ore fell on the floor of the tunnel in front of Dupont. Instantly he sprang forward, with whispered cry: Jump quick!
 Hardy leaped after him, barely in time to clear the ton or more of ore that dropped from the roof in mass. Without stopping to look behind them, the two men hastened stealthily down the slight slope of the tunnel, their candles upraised and eyes fixed on tbe soft, raw ore-body above them. At any moment the entire roof might cave in and bury them. The shock of the first fall loosened small quantities of ore : all along the passage. Fragments drib- bled down behind and in front of the fugitives and even on their heads. Pnnic-stricken. they broke into a run.

gIances that the girl bestowed on Van dervyn as she glided softly to and fro.
 The night came on, clear and still. As they puffed at their after-supper pipes, Vandervyn suggested that, out of consideration for the young woman. they roll up in their blankets outside the cabin. To this Hardy made no ob- jection. They picked out soft spot matted with fallen pine needles, under low-growing tree, and soon both were seemingly fast asleep.
 After several minutes Vandervyn spoke to his companion in a low tone. Hardy did not answer. Vandervyn drew out his pipe and struck a match. He held the flame above Hardy's face. The eyes were closed, and the severe, half-melancholy expression of the harsh features was relaxed as if in heavy slumber.
 Vandervyn eXtinguished the match, and slipped out of his blankets. Noise lessly he crept down to the cabin and around to the door. It was barred on the inside. He tapped on it. r There was a sliding sound within the cabin, and the heavy door began to swing inward. Vandervyn put his foot on the threshold to enter. At the same moment sinewy hand gripped his shoulder and jerked him away. He cursed, and clapped his hand to his holster as he whirled about. It was empty. He bent for ward to spring at the dark form in the half-open doorway.
 Stand back!" came the stern com mand. T have your revolver. Oinna, close the door,"
 The door swung shut. In the tense silence the rattle of the bar as it shot back into its socket was distinct. Van dervyns teeth ground together.
 You - straight-laced prig!" he choked out. "Get away from here! !! I'm going in.'
 Suppose do not choose to give it?"
 "Then will protect her by ordering you to leave the reservation as fast as you can travel"
 "I see," taunted Vandervyn. "You want to get rid of me, so you can have clear sailing with Marie. You're a D. AN~S OAAN tO SEOdI ououI hoiloi You'll go and blat to her about this."
 You know very well l cannot do that. Yet if you refuse to give me your word, I shall feel justified in telling Dupont my reason for ordering you off the reservation"
 Vandervyn burst into cynical laugh. Do you think Jake's the sort to care.
 "When the happiness of his daugh- ter is at stake-'
 Precisely. He thinks I'm her one best chance.
 Every well,'' replied Hardy. "Since, like this poor girls, her natural guardian is unfit, my position as acting agent requires me to take his place. My appeal to you as gentleman hav- ing failed, I must conclude that you are not gentleman. I shall be com pelled to disclose this incident to Miss Dupont. You shall be escorted off the reservation under arrest"
 You'll order me" cried Vandervyn, and again he bent forward as If to lean at his rival. Hardy stood cold

 you want to take away the mine from the tribe and from us tool"
 Hardy winced under the scornful approaches, yet did not yield hair. ''I have done my duty, Miss Dupont. 1 shall continue to do it. I have 10 jn- tention of robling anyone of what is rightfully his.'
 Yet when the reservation is thrown open for entry, someone else who never saw the mine may slip in ahead of us and jump it," said Vandervyn. ''That is something I cannot pre- vent," said Hardy.
 You canI" contradicted Marie "The chiefs will not insist on the new treaty-they will do what Pere thinks best for them and us, if you leave the matter to him and Reggie"
 1 must do my duty as acting agent" insisted Hardy.
 The girl turned her back upon him in open disdain. He raised his hat to her and started for the cabin, his face white, but his shoulders squared back and his head very erecta

"You hypocrite! you seif-righteous martinet! You would reprimand my father and MT. Van, would you? And each a thousand times better man than you! Who has made all the trouble here since you came? The whole tribe You straight-laced prig! You say Pere and Reggie are dishonest, when all they wish to do is to give the tribe sn1d work and good pay. But you

Band Plans for Coming Year

The Emmett Concert band is plan
ming on giving a comic concert Of
some decription in the very near
future, the proceeds to go to the Red
Cross fund to help our boys who have
answered their country's call. A
special invitation is extended to any
band men of the community to join
the band. We are very much in need
of several new members to fill the
places of those boys who were drafted
for the army. We are fortunate in
having one of the most capable band
leaders in the state and there is no
reason why Emmett should not have
the best bend in the state. Mr.. Stoner
Is ready to help any new beginners
who would like to learn some kind of
a band instrument The band wishes
to thank the citizens of Emmett for
their generous patronage in the past,
and hopes they will continue their sup
port. The band stands ready to help
IN any way to keep up patriotism and
loyalty to our country.

MILLS SHORT OF CARS
Plants at Barber and Emmett Seri
ously Hindered-May Close.

The car shortage situation at the
Boise Payette company's Barber and
Emmett plants is so serious that
Manager C. A. Barton Tuesday told
the Statesman that it might be ne
cessary to close the mills unless some
relief should be had soon.
"We have a big crews at both mills,
lots of lumber in the yard, and our
books filled with orders; and what
can we do? | have wired Vice Presi-
dent Platt of the Oregon Short Line
today, acquainting him with our situa-
ton, which is indeed serious, and | do
not know what the outcome will be.
| should greatly hate to throw a large
number of men out of work, but this
is what will happen if we do not get
cars soon. We need" said Mr.. Barton,
'on an average of 10 cars a day for
both plants, and during the last month
we have had sc, when we ordered 29S.
You can readily see how critical the
situation is, and the worst of it all is
that the lumber is needed for impor-
tant industries"

GEM COUNTY FIRST TO
RESPOND
Raises Its Quota of Y. Nj. c. A.
Fund-First County to
Send the Cash

Gem county was the first county in
the state to send check for its en-
tire quota of the Army and Navy Y
NJ. c. A. fund to the state committee.
Secretary Randall, of the state COM
mittee, was notified Tuesday evening
by R. E. Rose, manager of the coun-
ty campaign, that check for $1,000
had been forwarded. The entire
amount was raised in a two days
campaign in Emmett. The individual
subscriptions were small, but very
few refused to contribute.
Just what the total amount raised
in the county is is not known, as tbs
returns from outside of this city have
not been received. 1t is estimated
that the quota will be over-subscribed
by from $500 to $1,000, and that fact
is matter for congratulation, espe-
cially in view of the campaign fol-
lowing so closely upon the heels of
the Liberty loan campaign.
The city school pupils from the
Fifth grade to the High school classes
responded generously, raising total
of $3.50.

A woman writer, Elizabeth Frazer
was detailed to follow the Red Cross
millions into France and write of what
was being done with the money you
subscribed last June. Her report is
in the Saturday Evening Post of Octo-
ber 27. Get copy and read it. 1t
is too long for me to give in detail
1t will allay any fears you may have
that your money is not reaching the
soldier and being spent wisely.
During this week the Y. NJ c. A.
is making a special drive for funds.
This is just as worthy cause as our
Red Cross and in no way conflicts.
They are doing great work provid-
ing recreation centers, which, as So
ably explained Sunday night, keep
up the morals of the army.
This country of ours will indeed not
be fit to live in and certainly not fit
to fight for or die for if we with a
population of 100 million and rich
and prosperous beyond the common
allotment of men shall now fail to re-
spond to the call of the Y. M. c. A.
and refuse TO give it from our plenty
adequate means to carry on its work.
The question before US today is
whether we shall send our young men
to fight for US on the battle fields of
Europe, 5000 miles from home, with
out our doing everything in our pow
er to mitigate wars degrading infiu-
ence.
We are facing the greatest crisis
and the most barbarous warfare in all
history. History is repeating itself
Once more the Hun is marching
against Italy. The issue is between
civilization and arbarism-between
conscience and brutalized militarism.
Never before has so much been at
stake materially and spiritually; new
as they have been and will be tried
in this war. Modern civilization
must be saved from the domination
er before have mems souls been tried
of merciless brute force; and the hope
of accomplishing this result now rests
upon the efforts, the services and the
sacrifices of the American people.

The seat sale for "Ikey and Abey''
opens at Haley-Miles Saturday. The
demand for seats for this attraction
which will come to the Ideal Theatre
on Tuesday for one night only, is very
large and a full house is anticipated
by the management, owing to the fat
tering advance reports on the show.
This attraction combines all that is
best in farce comedy, and is replete
with many wonderfully scenic and cleo
trical devices that thrill and delight.
Special attention has been displayed
in the selection of the cast, and the
costuming is on a par with the other
large farce comedy shows out of New
York this season. This attraction is
presented by Geo. H. Bubb, who gave
the Midwest the "Lion and the
Mouse" and "a Royal Slave" for
many seasons.

New Theater for Lecture Course

Assurance has been given that the
new theater will be completed in time
for the next lecture course number
the Ben Greet Players-which comes

dred more seats will be available in
the new theater the committee has
decided to place additional course
tickets on sale for the last four num-

mission for the Ben Greet Players
alone is S100, the course tickets are
very reasonable and will no doubt
be quickly taken. Tickets may be
secured of any member of the COM
