SHORTAGE OF SCRAP IRON

Atlanta, Ga, October l8.-Mr. Far
mer, gather up the old iron scraps
on your farm and sell them to the
nearest junk dealer. Make him paw
you a good price, for scrap iron is
more valuable now than it ever was
before in the country's history.
The shortage in the supply of iron
and steel which this country must
supply to win the war has developed a
new source of income for the farmer.
and not merely source of income
but also way. to render a patriotic
service to the Government.
The United States Geological Sur
vey, through the state geological de-
partment of Georgia, calls the atten-
ton OF farmers to the fact that even
at the recently fixed prices of iron and
steel, they can reap an overlooked
profit by gathering up all their scraps
and selling them to the junk dealer.

CHAPTER VIII.
Best-laid Schemes.

Hardy had gone to the Duponts' for
supper when Vandervyn returned to
the agency. He rs0de hasty toilet
and followed. Maize met him with
marked coldness. This, however, melt
ed before he had finished his report to
Hardy. All agreed that the old chief
probably would take fancy to Oinna,
and that, as result, there would be
fair chance Of pacifying the tribe.
When Hardy turned to the girl, he
found her and Vandervyn exchanging
glances and murmuring remarks. His
habitual gravity softened to a smile
of wistful sadness. At the first oppor-
tunity he excused himself. Midnight
had passed before the light in the little
Gifted parlor of the Dupont house was
extinguished.
When, at sunrise, Hardy went for
breakfast, Marie's eyes were very
bright and her look was pensive She
ate little, and her manner toward Har-
dy was cold and ungracious. ~<

"Please-he didn't mean any harm

"That depends" replied Vandervyn.
DO you think I care to favor him
when you act as If you hate me2"
'Hate? No, mol" The door opened
several inches and as suddenly closed
to q narrow crack.
But Vandervyn had caught glimpse
Of the girls blushing face. His voice
dropped to a caressing tone: 'tYou're
not afraid Of me, are you, just because
I wanted kiss? Come out here and

"You promise not toto kiss me?'

Impulsively he started to swing of

From the window came a plaintive
cry: "Oh, please, pleased"

short.

as he interpreted: "He-he says there
shall be no more barter Of ore. He
says all over again that this is the
land Of his tribe, and white men have
no right here, and he hates all Long
knives"
''Tell him that he is mistaken. The
soldiers have always been the best
friends Of the Indians. I find that,
after next spring, no more food and
goods are to be issued to the tribe.
Sooner or later, white men will come
and take the ore If the Indians do not
dig it themselves. Another thing,
believe the tribe should agree to the
dividing up Of their land, so that each
head 90 family can have his own
farm ind work it after the manner of
the white men. Other tribes have done
this, and they are no longer poor"
Redbear hesitated, stepped more
aside from Hardy, and began to pour
out torrent Of Lakotah. He had spo-
ken only few sentences when a wave
Of agitation passed over the semicircle
OF Indians. Blankets slipped down
from copper-red shoulders; fierce eyes
glared menacingly at Hardy. Several
Of the more excitable bucks leaped up
with bow and rife in hand.
Hardy thrust out from among the
police and raised his hands to Ti-owa-
konza in the peace sign. The head
chief called to his fellows and turned
his back upon the agent with deliber-
ate contempt. All the others faced
about and followed him to the waiting
ponies. The band mounted and rode
off up the valley in morose silence.

CHAPTER VII.
Tho Common Law,

There was still more than trace of
red in Hardy's sallow cheeks when Ma
RE, Vandervyn and Dupont came in
upon him at the Office. Dupont held
out congratulatory hand.
"By gar, Cap" he said, "you sure
had mighty close squeak Of it that
time. Guess old III got alfred hot.
Where's Charlie?'
"Redbear? sent him to reassure
his sister and the families of the po-
lice."
'"That was very thoughtful of you,

"But it would be far more consider

"But why? 1 could not have been

CHAPTER Vi-Continued.

Unseen by his superior, Vandervyn
eodded encouragingly to Redbear and
Smiled at the Indians. Hardy had not
turned his steady gaze from Ti-owa-
konza.
"The chief is not angry" he said.
1--WE shall soon be friends. Tell him
that come in peace, with good heart
toward all the tribe. I do not blame
the killing Of Mr.. Nogen on the tribe.
Pc white men have done any wrong to
the tribe, I shall stop the wrongdoing.
Pr there are any members of the tribe
who are doing wrong, the chiefs should
help me make all do right
This time Redbear did not hesitate.
He. faced the assembly and rolled out
"a flood of Lakotah with desperate "a
pidity. Almost Immediately Ti-owa-
konza rose to reply, his face ablaze
with indignation, his voice impassioned.
when he had spoken, he remained
etanding.

Feassuringly. HE says he is trying to
keep it inside, but the others can't
hold it inside. He says you have got
TO go away or there will be fighting"
Hardy Strengthened on his chair, and
his look became severe. He spoke
sharply: "Tell the chief it is useless
ITO ask me to 60 away. I do not wish
TO send for the Longknives. But they
will come and fight the tribe if there
Is any uprising"
Redbear's Interpretation was fol-
lowed by hush more threatening than
gestures or outcries. Vandervyn has
lilly beckoned to the policemen. They
rame along under the overhang Of the
warehouse until they were behind the
white men. Hardy heard the soft
,kcufle of their moccasined feet in the
dust. He looked around and frowned.

daring girl. She stood on slight knoll

and her fathers cabin.

"That's BETTER" he said, and he
reached in to slip his arm around her
trembling shoulders.
Shrinking yet yielding, with eyes
timidly downcast and olive cheeks
burning with bissful shame, the young
girl allowed him to draw her closer.
Her lips quivered, yet she raised them
to meet his kiss.
''There!" he rallied. ''Was it so
dreadful?"
She did not answer; she could not.
Her head dropped forward with the
instructive modesty Of an innocent
young girl. He put the forefnger Of
his free hand under her chin and
raised her head to take second kiss.

"What else did you think meant
