Helen Herald seems so unusual to

story is worth comment.

ambitious authors had stretched the
hardships and problems of the Chi

her salary would probably be in

After three whole days in a round

In the morning Oinna did not show
herself outside the cabin, though
Hardy called kindly good morning
to her. Her brother, with one arm
carefully bandaged and in a sling,
brought out the breakfast that she
cooked. He looked so weak and un-
steady that Hardy at once assented
when he mumbled that he wished to
go back to bed and rest until the
council.

But at that moment a messenger boy

captain handed them to him, and
started up the, mOuntainslde above

to the top of the spur ridge from
which the shaft had been sunk from
the apex of the outcrop of the vein.
As soon as he had gone beyond ear
shot, Vandervyn rose to stretch him
self and call softly through the near
est lOophole. He then seated himself
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 Oinna's
voices through the lOOphOle above
Vandervyn's head.
When Hardy returned from his ex-
animation of the upper works of thG
mine, Vandervyn sealed in his pres

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 been diverted by large
party or 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
far camps as well as near, the men
of the tribe were bringing their fami-
lies to see the Longknlfe chief whom
they had first hated but now believed
to be their friend and father. BY
noon their numbers had grown from
scores to hundreds.
Shortly after the midday meal Or
Of the Indian policemen brought woro
up to the cabin that the head chief
had arrived and the council was
ready to talk with the agent. Hardy
at once gave command to mount. AS
soon as Hardy and Vandervyn started
to ride down the slope, Oinna slipped
out, and held her brothers pony for
him. She then mounted her own, and
rode after him.
At the foot of the slope the riders
came out through a grove of young,
quaking asps into sudden view of the
picturesque and imposing tribal cOun-
Gil. Fully half the tribe had gathered
together for the occasion. All up and

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 II in

Vandervyn extinguished the match,
and slipped out of his blankets. Noise

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. Vanderyyn put his
foot on the threshold to enter. AT
the same moment q sinewy hand
gripped his shoulder and jerked him
away. He cursed, and clapped his
hand to his holster as he whlrled
about. 1t was empty. He bent for

'YOu know very well 1 cannot do

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

He picked up his blankets and moved
down the slope, to spend the night in

pOnt, far from silenced. "If 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 it?"
Nothing at present" answered
Hardy. "If the tribe consents, shall
make no objection. You will be able
to cheat them of only 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
Il high, airy tone: $50 you are going
to pull wires to get our mine taken
away from us?"
Il shall see that justice is done to-
ward the tribe" said Hardy, and he
fixed the younger man with glance
that compelled him to blink and look
aside.

scorn and anger burst out in a storm

best for them and us, If you leave the

II must do my duty as acting

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.
