Sunrise found vandervyn riding
down the valley on his nimble-footed
pinto. He left the road and cantered
across into the bend where Redbear
had pointed out his new house to
Hardy. When vandervyn rode up.
Redbear was shoveling clay upon the
uncovered brush thatch at one corner
Of the roof. The halfbreed did not
stop work until his visitor drew rein

met his civil greeting with a cynical
smile.

Marie soon glanced about.
'Lookl" she said.
He turned and saw Oinna with the
big granite-ware cup to her uptilted
lips, draining the moist sugar from the
bottom. The action was laughably
childish, but the girls attitude was the
perfection Of grace. Marie caught the
look that fitted across vandervyn's
face. and her eyes flashed.
$50 was right" she exclaimed.
"You were flirting with her."
"I-flirting with herr" he wonder
ingly queried, and he turned sideways
in his saddle. to stare wide-eyed at his
companion, from the tip of her dainty
riding boot up to the feather felt hat
on her coal-black hair.
Under that prolonged scrutiny the
scarlet of the girls anger changed to
rose. and her eyes sank as coyly as
had Oinna's. He smiled. The girl was
good to look upon.
Mid-morning was past when they
walked their ponies up the slope of
the terrace. The bare level. back of the
warehouse. was dotted with groups of
stolid, half-naked Indians.
"Look!" exclaimed the girl.

Hardy nodded In appreciation Of the

started for the agency buildings With q
step that was brisk yet dignined. The
Indians had assembled for the council
