 "All right? O-o-oh, thank you!" sighed the girl.
 In the stress of the moment she for got that they were not alone. She held out her arms to him and looked up into his face, her soft eyes beaming with love and adOration.
 He drowned, and his voice grated with harshness: Don't be fool He's in the cabin. Miss Dupont is taking care of him. Go and thank her, not me-"

"do not let me again hear you speak to any woman in that tone."
 Vandervyn shrugged. "The chival- rous chevalier! Have it your own way. Now I suppose you'll go in and worry her and rag Charlie into fever about balling up his interpretation at the council"
 "As for that" began Hardy. He stopped short and raised his hat.
 Marie had come out of the cabin, and was hastening forward to greet him, her beautiful face radiant.
 "Captain I' she called. You're here really here, safe and unhurt!''
 Thanks to Miss Redbear," replied Hardy.
 'But how could Oinna-surely she did not help you escape the murder er?"
 "No. It was easy enough to dislodge the fellow. The difficulty was to track him among those rocks. Soon lost him and myself also."

 "Nom dun chien!" muttered Du- pont. "Whats that breed girl gone and blabbed?

 Lying? What d'you mean by that?'' clustered Dupont. .-[
 "The word is explicit" said Hardy. "Mr. Vandervyn, take your hand from your holster. Miss Dupont, I regret the necessity of making this reprimand in your presence"
 The girls eyes were ablaze with in dignant anger. Regret is mild ex- cuse for insulting my father, sir!"
 "You add to my regret. Yet. as act ing agent, it is my duty to ccnsure your father and MT. Vandervyn for de ceiving me. Had they told me about Nogen's malfeasance-hisb blocking of the new treaty and compelling the h. dians to work the mine without pay"

a naked boy ran forward with a blazing stick to drive off the dogs.
 Hardy calmly advanced to the fire between the grim and stolid bucks. There was not one among them who was not itching to drive a bullet or an arrow through his body, and he knew it. Yet he faced them as coolly and quietly as if they were his own marty.
 The bucks looked toward the far side of the fire, as if for the signal to strike down the audacious intruder. Hardy followed their glances and per ceived blanket-wrapped Indian who sat in the midst of the volcanic hush seemingly as placid and immobile as a Buddha. His face was down-bent, and so muff1ed in the blanket that Hardy could not make out the fea- lures. It was, however, easy to di- vine that the man was the chief of the band.
 Hardy walked around the fire with his most dignified bearing, sat down beside the chief and laid his rifle on the ground between them. He then folded his arms and waited, his eyes fixed on the fire in a calm, unwaverine gaze. There followed a silence of 8 full minutes duration. He knew that it might end at any moment in an at tack. His hand gripped the hilt of his pistol on his breast under the edge of his coat. The bucks stealthily shifted their positions until they had com rN1n te1r Tod itor. Hardy sat motionless and gave no sign that he observed them.
 At last, when the suspense had be come almost unendurable, the chief muttered word to the nearest buck The man glided back toward the larg est tepee. The chief pushed the blan. ket from his head. Hardy slowly looked aside at him and perceived the powerful profile of Ti-owa-konza, the Thunderbolt. He was to deal with the head chief of the tribe.
 There followed another silence. It was broken by the tread of light feet, and girl appeared beside the chief. Hardy caught a glimpse of a gingham skirt, and glanced quickly up at the face of the girl. He was met by the frightened gaze of Oinna Redbear.
 'Oh!" she murmured. 'It is bad You oughtn't to've come here, sir. They don't like you. MT. Van said he was going to tell you"
 A grunt of disapproval from Ti-owa- konza cut short the hurried statement. After a dignified silence the chief spoke to the girl. She clasped her hands and interpreted in an anxious murmur:
 "He says I must be only the tongue between you and him. He says, why did you lie? Why have you not gone away, as you said you would?"
 Hardy turned and looked direct into the naughty face of the chief. 'sTell him 1 did not He. l did not gay

Soon Hardy had approached into the circle of the firelight. Some of the Indians started to aim their weapons at him. He held up his right hand, palm forward. A deep voice called out guttural order. The threatening bucks drew apart to right and left and

Liberty Loan Quota
OverSubSCribed
UNOFFICIAL FIGURES SAY $4,000
One-third More Than Amount Allotted to This
County. Ladies do Good Work.

While at this time it is i'm
possible to state exactly the
amount which was subscribed in
this county to the Second Liberty
Loan, it is known that Benewah
county's allotment was oversub-
scribed. No definite reports have
been received as yet from Plum
mer but Chairman Leaf places
the amount raised in that place
at $4,000. Figuring on this basis
from the amounts known to
have been subscribed in this city
and St. Joe, he places the total
subscriptions between S121,OO0
and $4,000. AS the amount
allotted to this county to raise
was 100000, unofficial figures
show that this sum was over
subscribed about one-third.
In this city alone it is reported
that bonds to the amount or
approximately sos, 900 were sub
scribed, and the subscriptions at
St. Joe are reported at S6,25O.
1.-The women's organization of the
county, of which Mrs. o. D. Platt

$4,000.
Reports from over the state are
that Idaho has made good in the
campaign. The total subscrip-
tions to the second liberty bond
will be not less than SlO,5OO,OOO
Definite figures will not be avail
able for a few days, but the sub

IMPORTANT RULING ON
EMPLOYERS LIABILITY

Employers who do not insure
in the state fund under the state
insurance and workmen's COM
pensation acts must deposit
either a surety bond or a guar
anty contract and the industrial
accident board has no authority
t. accept any other kind Of Sc
curity. Attorney General T. A..
Walters placed this construction
on the law passed by the last
Legislature. 1t is a hard blow to
surety companies for it virtually
bars them from operating under
the law. The further construc-
tion is placed on the law that the
bonds may be unlimited as to
iamount, so that the board will
have the power to require from
an employer a contract which
does not fix a maximum liability
1t is further held that the deposit
of a bond OF contract in no way
releases the employer from lia-
lbility. He still is liable as tC
both bond and surety.
The opinion of the attorney
general is Of unusual Importance
TO employers in this state.
