Hardy called a kindly good morning

brought out the breakfast that she

Nandervyn shrugged, and said no

asked permission to use Hardy's pen
and pad to write some ALTERS. The
captain handed them to him. ana

AS soon as he had gone beyond ear

self and call softly through the near

on his saddle and began to write. A
listener would have had need to be
near at hand to have heard the low
murmur of Redbear'S and Olnna S
voices through the loophOle above
Yanderyyn's head.
When Hardy returned from his ex-
animation of the upper works OF the
mine, Vandervyn sealed in his pres
ence the two letters that he had writ

view Of the time that Vandervyn had
spent in his writing and the number
of sheets of paper gone from the pad:
But Hardy did not observe this. His
attention had beer; diverted by large
party of Indians that had appeared
on the velvety green meadows OF the
valley bottom.
The tribal council had begun to as

headmen did not come alone. From

of the tribe were bringing their fami-

they had first hated but now believed
to be their friend and father. BY
noon their numbers had grown from
scores to hundreds.

to Vandervyn. The girl cringed close
to her grandfather. But Vandervyn
showed no anger. He smiled at her
in a manner that brought a blissful
glow into her soft eyes, and explained
that one paper gave the proceedings
of the council in full while the other
consisted of brief notes. He then muir
INJURED to her something that at first
brought a shadow into her joyous face,
but in the end left her radiant with
happiness.
When the leading men of the tribe
had signed the papers and Redbear
and Oinna had attested as witnesses,
Vandervyn thrust the documents into
his pocket and went to rejOin Hardy.
AS he handed over the paper that
Hardy had signed, he remarked that.
