The bureau of American ethnology
Of the Smithsonian institution, which
conducts studies and Investigations
among the Indians, Is constantly bonn
barded with requests for "the Indian
word" for this and that. 1t may be
worth while to explain to the public,
therefore, that there is no one Amerl-
can Indian language. On the contrary
there are about 1000 languages In the
two Americas, and practically 500 dis
tinct Indian languages north of Mexico.
1t becomes, then, impossible to give
"the" Indian word for any English
equivalent, and consequently 1t Is
usually chosen from the language Of
the tribe which inhablts, or once lnhab-
tied, the particular section of the coun-
try from which the request ONES for
example, the word may be chosen from
the Sioux, Delaware, Cherokee. Seneca,
Zunl or other language.

for Sarcasm.

In n certain western city there lives
a little girl who Is n good deal nc n
romancer. The truth In her hands be-
comes sadly twisted, and Is frequently
lost sight OF altogether. This propens-
ity for yarnlng has bothered her moth
or n great deal. She has talked TO the
little girl In n serious way, and not
long ago she told her that even II papa
and mamma didn't find out about her
naughty stories, God knew, because he
was always present. This seemed to
make quite m impression on the little
maid, and her mamma hoped 1t would
be lasting.
The family washerwoman, who has
long been q retainer of the household,
gave the little girl n fancy matchbox
for n Christmas present. or course,

to fill 1t with matches, and rs matches

A day or two later the washerwOman
was hanging the clothes In the back

house and spoke to her.

a small white lie.
"Oh, yes" she said, ITS put AWAY

AS she turned to enter the door she
saw Oracle standing In the doorway
with a decidedly sarcastic grin on her
face.

parent stepped In, ~ guess you must
have thought that God wasn't In the

And mamma didn't say a word.

CHAPTER X.


When, at dusk, Dupont rode up to
his house. Hardy was still on the cot
on the porch. Vandervyn stood at the
far end, putting hard at n cigar as he
watched Dupont approach.
The sound Of the traders blum voice
Weakened Hardy from his doze and
brought Marie to the door.
"No, not a track not one single sign
nowhere" Dupont vas saying to Van
dervyn. Thought I'd ride In and send
out more Of the piece with food"
Every good" said Hardy. 1--WE must
track down the man, else others may
follow his example"
The next day the search for the
would-be assassin vas continued, with
no better results than the first. 1t was
the same on the two succeeding days.
At last Dupont declared that there was
no hope of finding the mysterious lost
trail. and Hardy called In the track
ers.
The period Of the search had been
rs agreeable to Hardy as 1t had been
annoying to Vandervyn. To check
Vandervyn's woolng-or 1t may have
been TO redouble his ardor through
jealousy-she spent as much time as
possible In Hardy's company. She
was so gracious that Hardy began to
show openly that he thought he might
have a fighting chance to win her.
This made Vandervyn furious. Yet
he had to restrain himself from any
Outburst.
Noon Of the fourth day Hardy stated
ut dinner that he was quite himself
again and would start on the trip into
the mountains the next morning. Red
bear had not yet returned to the
agency, and Dupont, In his frlendllest
manner, offered his services as inter-
prefer until the halfbreed should join
the party.
When Hardy accepted this offer,
Vandervyn looked at him in his guile
less way and remarked In n casual
tone: with the tribe so uneasy l
suppose you will want me to stay here
and look after Marie"
Marie objected II am n member of
the tribe. II Pere is going into the
mountains, l am going with him."

~ cannot permit that" declared
Hardy.

Dupont paused with n knifefui ~ food
halfway to his mouth to agree VITA his
daughter: "Aln't none Of 'em what

"lf you are, II won't be no general

"You see" argued Marie. "You nre

"If you intend to let Marie run the

The girl wns unusually gracious TO

vided her smiles between the two with
strict impartiality. But when, shortly
before sunrise, the party started of up
the valley, Hardy began talking about
tribal customs with Dupont aud lie.
