the assertion with an instant apology

Marie's challenging gaze softened,

The appearance of the Indian boy
In the dining room doorway checked
Hardy's reply.
During supper the girl remained
unusually thoughtful and silent. Har-

that the government might permit him
to build an irrigation system for the

the sale Of the mineral lands. When

irony. Most Of the time he devoted
himself to an attempt to rally Marie

CHAPTER XVI.
The Fiahtino Chance.

Vandervyn was up before dawn.
But Marie was up an hour earlier, and
sent her father over to make sure that
her lover came for the breakfast she
had prepared for him. While he ate,
she stocked his saddlebags for the
trip, ard gave the pinto a good feed
Of oats.
He tried to see her alone. and
failed. She was too clever for him.
But when he went out to mount, she
permitted him single parting kiss in
the presence Of her father.
Dupont had saddled one Of his own
ponies to ride out" with the trav.
eler. As they logged down the road
in the dim starlight, he bit off a
"chaw" Of rlug tobacco, squinted at
the vague form Of his companion, and
chuckled.

Vandervyn.
"'Tain't no Joke. Mr.. Van. Just the

didn't intend to take you"

chiefs to sign two copies Of the memo

the chiefs. who knew by experience
that most agency papers were signed
In duplicate, made their crosses and
thumb-prints as fast as Vandervyn
wrote their names on the two papers.
Oinna ventured to whisper to her
brother that the papers did not look
alike. He hastily repeated the remark
to Vandervyn. The girl cringed close
to her grandfather. But Vandervyn
showed no anger. He smiled ut her
in a manner that brought blissful
glow into her soft eyes, and explained
that one paper gave the proceedings

consisted of brief notes. He then MUIR
INJURED to her something that at first
brought 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,
If there was no objection, Redbear
and his sister would remain in the
mountains with their grandfather un-
til word should be received from the
government for the tribal delegation
to come on to Washington.
"You are ready to return to the
agency with me?" asked Hardy.

assented Vandervyn.
"Very WE'LL" said Hardy. 1.-THE girl

Still doubtful of his companion,
Hardy took the ponies of Redbear and
Oinna in lead. and rode over to where
the brother and sister stood in the
midst Of their grandfather's immedi-
ate family. When the girl confirmed
Vandervyn's statement that she wished
to remain in the mountains, he took
ceremonious leave of the noble old
chief, and rode off to rejoin his party.
