"Aye" said the Afridi. "But what
are words? She has said l am thy
servant, and to hear her is to obey"
"Then, take me a telegram !" said
King.
He began to write at once on a half
sheet of paper that he tore from a let
ter he had in his pocket, transposing
into cypher as he went along.
Yasmini has gone North. Is there any
reason at your end why l should not
follow her at once?
He addressed it in plain English to
his friend the general at Peshawur.
and handed it to Ismail, directing him
carefully to a government office where
the CIPHER signature would be recog-
nized and the telegram given prece-
dence.
Ismail stalked off with it, striding
like Moses down from ,S~inai-hook-
neutrality-suspicious. beard-dig-
nifty and all, and King settled down to
guard himself against the next at
tempt on his sovereign self-command,
Now he chose to notice the knife
on the ebony table as II. he-had not
seer it before. He got up and reached
for it and brought it back. turning it
over and over in his hand.
"a strange knife he said.
"Yes-from Khinjan," said Rewa
Gunga, and King eyed him as n wolf
eyes another.
"what makes you say it is from
KhinjanT
"She brought 1t from Khinjan caves
herself! There is another knife that
matches it, but that is not here. That
bracelet you now wear. sahib, is from
Khinjan caves too! She has the secret
of the caves!"

Hills Is there" King answered. as
the Heart of the Hills a treasure
house?"
Rewa Gunga laughed.
ASK her, sahib! Perhaps she will
tell you, Perhaps she will let you
see! Who knows? She is a woman Of
resource and unexpectedness-let her
women dance for you a WHILE"
King nodded. Then he got up and
laid the knife back on the little table.
A minute or so later he noticed that
at a sign from Rewa Gunga a woman
left the great window place and spir-
tied the knife away.
MAY I have a sheet Of paper?" he
asked. for he knew that another fight
for his self-command was due.
Rewa Gunga gave an order, and a
maid brought scented paper on a sill
yer tray. He drew out his own foun-
tain pen. and since his one object was
to give his brain employment, he wrote
down a list of the. names he had men,
orized in the train on the journey from
Peshawur. not thinking Of a use for
the list until he had finished. Then.
though. a real use occurred to him.
While he began to write more than

Next Indian Land Sale
Set For Jan. 10, 1918
Many Choice Tracts Of Standing Rocl
Indian Land Will be Offered For
Sale at Reasonable Rates

Tho next Standing Rock reserva-
tion Indian land sale will be held
at Fort Yates, North Dakota, Sat-
urday, January 19, 1918, at 2 o.
clock in the afternoon.
The list of the land offered for
sale, together with the appraised
value of each tract and the rules,
regulations and terms governing the
sale is published in this issue of the
Pioneer. The list will be published
every week until the sale is held.
The list of lands offered includes
some very choice tracts both in
North and South Dakota. It is
understood that the appraised value
Of each tract has been approved by
the Commissioner of Indian Affairs.
This being the case the successful
bidder runs no chance of having the
sale rejected on the ground that the
Indian Department considers the
Appraised value too low, as has been
done heretofore.
The Indian to which the land has
been allotted, or the heirs, as the
case may be, have also signed ac-
ceptance by which they agree to &C.
cept the best bid over the appraised
value. Thus the successful bidder
is assured that the sale will he ap-
proved with but little delay. Pros
pective purchasers should look over
the land now while the weather per-
mits, and before the ground is
covered with snow.
In view of the advanced value OF
land in this part of the country and
the high price assured for grain
next year a very successful sale is
looked forward to. Only early deep
snow and severe weather, which
may prevent purchasers from in
specting the land, will interfere
with the sale.

Indians Ask For $40
Per Capita Payment
Delegation Of Standing Rock Indians to
Go to Warrington, D. C., to Con.
suit Commissioner Sells

The Standing Rock Sioux Indians
held a general council at Fort Yates
Friday. The session was joint
meeting of the General Tribal Coun-
Gil and Black Hills Council and de-
legates from each district on the
reservation in North and South Da-
kota were present.
A number of important matters
pertaining to the welfare Of the tribe
were taken up and discussed. Chief
among the matters acted on was
the selection of a delegation to go to
Washington to lay before the Com
missioner of Indian Affairs and
Congress the necessity of carrying
out provisions Of the act under
which the surplus lands on this res
ervation was opened to homestead
entry, which provides for a $4,000
per capita payment to the Indians
out of the funds derived from the
sale of lands.
The last per capita payment made
was in 1918, when part Of the mon
ey arising from the sale of land
opened in 1909, was distributed at
the rate of $40 for each man, woman
and child. Since then much money
has been paid into the Standing
Rock fund by homesteaders who
have made final proof, and also
from filings made on the lands
opened in 1915. The Indians fig
ure that they are entitled to another
payment Of $40 per capita. The
delegation selected to go to Wash
inRton to urge this payment are
Thos. Frosted, Joe Claymore and
Benjamin White.
The delegation will leave some
time in December, and expect to be
accompanied by Superintendent
Kitch, who has requested the De-
partmcnt for 30 day leave Of alb
sence to 60 to Washington, where
he can be of great assistance to the
Indians.
It is hoped that the delegation
will be successful. The land was
the Indians when they agreed to
the opening of the surplus lands to
homestead entry, and the bill un-
der which the opening was made
provided that the land should be
sold to homesteaders for less than
$3.50 per acre, and from the pro-
ceeds a $40 per capita payment
made. The Indians were promised
this amount and should have it.
The rest of the money goes into
the Standing Rock 8 per cent fund
and is used in maintaining schools,
hospitals and administrative work.
