There followed a silence of several

pipe, and at last remarked in some

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
found Vandervyn already outstretched.
He picked up his blankets and moved
down the slope, to spend the night In
the more congenial company of the
two remaining Indian policemen.

CHAPTER xIl-continued.

"You add to my regret. Yet, as act
ing agent, it Is my duty to censure
your father and Mr.. Vandervyn for de-
ceiving me. Had they told me about
Nogen's malfeasance-his blocking of
the new treaty and compelling the In
dams to work the mine without pay"
"lIe did that?" Marie questioned her
father.
"Well, me and Mr.. Van done all we
could to git him to pay 'em," mumbled
Dupont.
"Of course! But he did not think
him so mean!' The girls eyes blazed
and her nostrils dilated. $50 that was
why he was shot? don't blame the
ran who did it, could have done it
myself! The theft Reggie. If only
you had let the killer escaped"
Couldn't" tersely replied Wander
vyn. "He was blood-mad-would have
got Charlie and me, too, If we hadn't
got him."
"That was self-defense," said Har-
dy. ut has been greed and dishonesty,
though, that have prompted you to
conceal from me the facts that led up
to the killing. Aside from the danger
to me, you have permitted the tribe to
verge upon an uprising that would
have compelled their pacification by
the war department. All this that you
inight steal the ore of this mine."
"Steal our own ore?" beloved Du-
f>onf r1,,rnh 1ooood
mot so loud, If you please" quietly
replied Hardy. "The ore is not
yours"
"That's all you know about it." blus-
tered the trader. "Ain't I one of the
discoveries and locators Of the lode?'
"The sode Is not subject to location
It Is on Indian land"
"What If it Is? Amt a member OF
t2ss tr1De?'
1.-THE tribal lnnd has not yet been
allotted in severalty. Every square
foot of ground on the reservation be-
longs to the tribe as a whole. No one
member can hold individual title to
nny of it."
"Well, what of it," demanded Du.
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, I 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 must do my duty as acting

The girl turned her back upon him
in open disdain. He raised his hat to
her and started f.,r the cabin, his face
white, but his shoulders squared back
and his head very erect.

Dupont looked to vandervyn, and
received a sign to acquiesce.
"Don't want to leave you in the
lurch, Cap" he said, "but If Marie's
set on going. guess I'll have to"
"Tell four Of the police they are

A few minutes later Hardy came out
Of the cabin. Though grave, he was
cool and alert. He at once walked up
to Dupont, who sat putting at his pipe
on the top Of the mine-dump.
"Redbear seems to be quiet" he
said. "Where is your daughter?"
Dupont pointed vaguely down the
mountain-side. "She went off with Mr..
Van, to try to smooth down his fur.
You riled him considerable, Cap"
II regret that it was necessary to
reprimand you"

grudge. Mebbe now you'd like to take
look at the mine."
eyes," crisply agreed Hardy.
Dupont rose and led him into the
mouth Of the tunnel. There he I'M
locked a heavy tool chest and took
out two candles. These were needed,
for though the tunnel ran into the
mountain side less than three hundred
feet, its twisting course along the ore
vein soon shut out the daylight. Du-
pont noticed his companions dubious
look at the soft ore-body that formed
the roof and one wall of the tunnel.
"Walk quiet, and don't talk loud"
he said. 1--WE amt done no timbering
yet. Drove in this drift to tho foot of
the shaft fast as we could git the lazy
cusses to work, SOS we could figure
what we had to count on"
Hardy made no reply until they
came to the end of the tunnel and
stepped out into the dim daylight of
the shaft bottom. He looked up the
big, square, timbered we'll, and re-
marked: "You sank this first, then
drove in to meet it."
"Yep. Wanted to make sure the
vein didn't pinch out nowhere. Nogen
and Mr.. Van both figured we got three
hundred thousand dollars of ore as
good as blocked out"
"Ah," said Hardy, and he signed to
Dupont to lead the way back.
They had gone twenty-five or thirty
PAGES when a little slither of ore fell
on the floor Of the tunnel in front of
Dupont. Instantly he sprang forward,
with whispered cry: Jump
quick!"
Hardy leaped after him, barely in
time to clear the tor or more of ore
that dropped from the roof in mass.
Without stopping to look behind them,
the two men fastened stealthily down
the slight slope of the tunnel, their
candles appraised and eyes fixed on the
soft, raw Ore-body above them. At any
moment the entire roof might cave in
and bury them. The shock Of the first
fall loosened small quantities Of ore
all along the passage. Fragments drib-
bled down behind and in front of the
fugitives and even on their heads.
Panic-stricken, they broke into run.
It was none too soon. As they dashed
around the turn that brought them to
the outlet, the entire roof behind them
came thudding down.
Safe outside, Dupont shook the
fragments from his hat and clothes,
and pulled out his bandanna to wipe
on the sweat that was gathering in
beads on his forehead.
"Ugh!" he grunted. "Don't never
see me in there ag'in till it's timbered."
"Rather close CALL" remarked
Hardy.
"You're a cool one," muttered the
trader, and &c scowled. "Nom dun

vandervyn came Jogging back to the
mine. He had had delightful ride
with Marie, and he complacently init
mated the fact to Hardy.
In the midst of this subtle torment
ing Of his rival, Oinna came out to
serve the supper that she had cooked
in the cabin. Vandervyn abruptly
changed the subject, and began to talk
about the, council next day. Hardy
gave no sign that he observed this
sudden break or the furtive, adoring
glances that the girl bestowed on Van
dervyn as she glided softly to and fro.
The night came on, clear and still.
AS they pulled at their after-supper
pipes, Vandervyn suggested that, out
OF consideration for the young woman,
they roll up in their blankets outside
the cabin. To this Hardy made no OBJ
lection. They picked out soft spot
matted with fallen pine needles, under
a low-growing tree, and soon both
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 If in
heavy slumber.
Vandervyn extinguished the match,
and slipped out of his blankets. Noise
lessly he crept down to the cabin
and around to the door. It was barred
on the inside. He tapped on 1t.
There was sliding sound within
the cabin, and the heavy door began
to swing inward. Vandervyn put his
foot on the threshold to enter. At
the same moment a sinewy hand
gripped his shoulder and jerked him
away. He cursed, and clapped his
hand to his holster as he whirled
about. It was empty. He bent for
ward to spring at the dark form in
the half-open doorway.
