"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 cannot pre-
vent" said Hardy.
"You cant" 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"
II 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 erect.

Dupont. You shall be escorted off the

"Youll order me" cried Vandervyn,
and again he bent forward as If to
leap at his rival. Hardy stood cold
and motionless in the dim starlight.
The younger man checked himself.
His voice shook with suppressed an
ger: &C You've got the drop on me now
Wait till we hear from Washington"
until am relieved from my pres=
ent detail, shall consider myself the
guardian of everyone and everything
belonging to the tribe" stated Hardy.
There followed silence of several
moments duration, in which Wander
vyn must have found time to reflect.
He drew back step or two, lit his
pipe, and at last remarked in a some
what forced tone Of Cancellation: II
see you're like an army mule-no use
trying to bulge you when you balk. I
give you my word to act as 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.

a high, airy tone: $50 you are going
to pull wires to get our mine taken
away from us?"
II shall see that justice is done to-
ward the tribe" said Hardy, and he
fixed the younger man with a glance
that compelled him to blink and look
aside.
But now Marie's swift-mounting
scorn and anger burst out in a storm
of passion:
"You hypocrite! you seH-righteous
martinez! You would reprimand my
father and Mr.. Van, would you? And
each thousand times better man than
you! Who has made all the trouble
here since you came? The whole tribe

Dupont looked to Vandervyn, aud
received sign to acquiesce. "
Don't want to leave you in the
lurch, Cap" he said, 'but if Mar1e's
set on going, guess I'll have to-"
"Tell four Of the police they are
detailed to escort yourself and Miss
Dupont back to the agency" ordered
Hardy. He raised his hat to Marie.
"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.
He 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, he
watched the lovers ride away, side
by side.
Angered 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 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 list Of in
strpctions for the tribal delegates to
Washington. He was still writing
them when, shortly before nightfall,

CHAPTER XII-Continued.

"You add to my regret. Yet, as act
ing agent, it is my duty to censure
your father and Mr.. Vandervyn for de-
ceiving me. Had they told me about
Nogen's malfeasance-his blocking OF
the new treaty and compelling the In
dams to work the mine without pay
'He did that?" Marie questioned her
father
"Well, me and Mr.. Van done all we
could to git him to pay EN- mumbled
Dupont.
''Of course But he did not think
him so meant" The girls eyes blazed
and her nostrils dilated. $50 that was
why he was shot? I don't blame the
man who did it could have done it
myself! The thief y Reggie, if only
you had let the killer escaped"
"Couldn't," tersely replied Wander
:-yn. Gle was blood-mad-would have
got Charlie and me, too, If we hadn't
got him."
''That was self-defense," said Har-
dy. 1T has been greed and dishonesty,
though, that have prompted you to
conceal from me the facts that led up
to the killing. Aside from the danger
to me, you have permitted the tribe to
verge upon an uprising that would
have compelled their pacification by
the war department. All this that you
might steal the ore Of this mine."
"Steal our own ore" beloved Du-
pont. you're plumb locoed"
"Not so loud, if you please" quietly
replied Hardy. "The ore is not
yours"
'"That's all you know about it," blus-
tered the trader. "Ain't I one of the
discoveries and locators of the lode?'
'"The lode is not subject to location.
It is on Indian land"
"What if it is? Amt I a member of
the tribe?'
1.-THE tribal land has not yet been
allotted in severalty. Every square
foot Of ground on the reservation be-
member can hold individual title to
any Of it,"
swell, what Of it?'' demanded Du-
pont, far from silenced. eff the tribe
wants to work the mine, and they want
me and Mr.. Van to manage it for them
and buy the ore, what in hell have you
got to say about 1t?''
Nothing at present." answered
Hardy. IF the tribe consents, I shall
make no objection. You will be able
to cheat them of only a few thousand
dollars before the new treaty is con.
summated and all this mineral land
opened to location and entry under the
mining laws" ~
The veins on Vandervyn's crimsoned
forehead were swollen and pulsating
with his furious anger. He spoke in
The Cook County news-herald. [volume] (Grand Marais, Cook County, Minn.) 1909-current, 1917-01-17

Vandervyn came jogging back to the
mine. He had had delightful ride
with Marie, and he complacently init
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
glances that the girl bestowed on Van
dervyn as she glided softly to and fro.
The night came on, clear and still.
AS they pulled 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 OBJ
lection. They picked out a 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 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 exfnguished the match,
and slipped out of his blankets. Noise
1essly he crept down to the cabin
and around to the door. 1t was barred
on the inside. He tapped on it.
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. 1t was empty. He bent for
ward to spring at the dark form in
the half-open doorway.
Stand back!" came the stern COM
mand. II 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 it's socket was distinct. Van
dervyn's teeth ground together.
"You- straight-laced prig" he
choked out. "Get away from here !
I'm going in.''
Suppose I do not choose to give it?''
'Then will protect her by ordering
you to leave the reservation as fast
as you can travel"
Il see," tainted Vandervyn. 'sYou

"You know very well I cannot do

laugh. ''Do you think Jake's the sort

ter is at stake"
Precisely. He thinks I'm her one

FUNERAL. GRAFTON
For The End Iowa Regiment At Camp
Cody


Cody
In loving commemoration OF MISS
End IOWA, who was born on the
10th day of May, 1887, at FIT. Dodge,
Iowa, where she was raised to young
womanhood. She then moved to
Webster City, Iowa, which was her
home at the time of her demise. She
was the strongest of large number
of Regiments which were raised in
various parts of the country, and
she has been model young lady
who was copied by all who had ever
had the pleasure of meeting her. She
was disowned by her father, the Gov
eminent, on the Goth day of Septem-
Der, 1917, at Camp Cody, New Mex
leo after passing through a serious
operation to save the life of her sis
ter regiment, Miss Third, few short
months before. She had never known
days weakness up to the hour of
her death and went TO her death
CALAMITY to save the life of some of
her weaker sister regiments. She
passed away Sunday morning, Sept
ember 80, 1917 and was inferred
in the lasting sands of the New Mex
] lean desert. There were none who
knew her but that mourn her death
and weep in sorrow for her.

belt that conveys them to the au-
tomato sealing machine.
This machine places the tops on
the can and Theoretically seals them
without the use of acid, solder or
other sealing compounds. This ma
chine then throws them upon another
conveyor that carries them to a steel
cage where they are packed and then
hoisted and placed in another retort
for the final cooking. This retort
is sealed tight with a heavy rubber
gasket and the contents heated to a
temperature of 240 degrees Fahren-
heit, and cooked for As minutes. This
last process completes the cooking.
The retorts are opened and the cases
hoisted and wheeled to cooling
tank after which the cans are taken
to the warehouse and stored in wood
en- cases of two dozen cans each,
ready for shipement.
Turnout the entire process, the
pumpkin is not handled by human
hands. Everything is done automa-
tically by machinery. All machines
are closed so there is no contamina-
ton by dirt. flies or filth. All the
products of the factory are absolutely
clean and pure and of the best. No
poor or spoiled fruit is used at all.
The pumpkins used are the Connect
lieut. Cheese and the Kentucky Sweet.
No common "cow-pumpkins" are used
at all. Everything is quite superior
and most clean.
The spiral conveyor from the pull
per of the filler is the invention of
the manager. w. III. Smith. or rather
he originated the idea of using that
form of conveyor for that purpose.
1t eliminates the costly labor of four
men. The men would have to use
busketso as formerly. This gave OPP
portunity for the contents of the can
to become dirty and unclean thru
flies containing it with diease germs
There is nothing spilled upon the
floor by this method. In other fac
tories where this kind of conveyor is
not used, the floor is usually covered
with pumpkin or other foods in the
process of canning. The entire fac
tory is kept absolutely as sanitary as
possible.
The canned goods are equal in taste
and quality to any that one may wish
The reporter who visited the factory
was given a sample of the canned
goods and it was equal to any he had
ever tasted before and far superior
to most canned pumpkin that he has
eaten. 1t tastes like the kind mother
used to make when everything was
homemade.
