CHAPTER xli-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
'.He did that?" Marie questioned her
father.
"WelI, me and Mr.. Van done all we
could to git him to pay EN- mumbled
Dupont.
"Of course! But he I did not think
him so mean !" The girls eyes blazed
and her nostrils dilated. $50 that was
why he was shot? I don't blame the
man who did it could have done it
myseIfI The thief = Reggie, if only
you had let the killer escape!"
Couldn't" tersely replied Wander
vyn. HE was blood-mad- would have
got Charlie and me, too, if we hadn't
got him."
'sThat was self-defense," said Har-
dy. 'It 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
might steal the ore of this mine"
''SteaI our own ore?" beloved Du-
pont. You're plumb lOcoedI"
mot so loud. If you please" quietly
replied Hardy. 1.-The ore is not
yours"
That's all you know about it" bus
tered the trader. "Ain't I one of the
discoveries and locators of the Iode?"
''The lode is not subject to location.
1t is on Indian land"
the tribe?''
1.-THE tribal land 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
any 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. eff the tribe consents, shall
make no objection. You will be able
to cheat them of only q 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
high. airy tone: so you are going
to pull. wires to get our mine taken
away from us?"
81 shall see that justice is done to-
ward the tribe" said Hardy, and he
fixed the younger man with glance
that compelled him to blink and look
aside.
But now Marie's swift-mounting
scorn and anger burst out in a storm
Of passion:
.sYou hypocrite! you self-righteous
martinez! You would reprimand my
father and Mr.. Van. would you? And
each q thousand times better man than
you! Who has made all the trouble

and pad to write some letters The
captain handed them TO him. and
started up the mountainSide above
the tunnel mouth. A steep path led up
10 the top of the spur ridge from
which the shaft had been sunk from
the apex OF the Outcrop OF the vein.
As soon as he had gone beyond ear
shot, Vanderyyn rose to stretch him
self and call softly through the near
est lOOphOle- He then seated himself
on his saddle and began to write. A
listener would have had need to be
near at hand TO have heard the low
murmur of Redbear's and Oinna's
voices through the IoophoIe above
Vandervyn's head.
When Hardy returned from his ex-
animation of the upper works of the
mine, Fandervyn sealed in his pres
ence the two letters that he had writ
ten They appeared decidedly thin, in
view Of the time that Vandervyn had
spent in his writing and the number
of sheets of paper gone from the pad
But Hardy did not observe this. His
attention had been diverted BY a large
party of Indians that had appeared
on the velvety green meadows of the
valley bottom.
The tribal council had begun to as
semble. This time the chiefs and
headmen did not come alone. From
far camps as well as near, the men
of the tribe were bringing their fami-
lies TO see the Longknife chief whom
they had first hated but now believed
to be their friend and father. BY
noon their numbers had grown from
scores to hundreds.
Shortly after the midday meal one
of the Indian policemen brought word
up to the cabin that the head chief
had arrived and the council was
ready to talk with the agent. Hardy
at once gave command to mount. As
soon as Hardy and Vandervyn started
to ride down the slope, Oinna slipped
out, and held her brothers pony for
him. She then mounted her own, and
rode after him.
AT the foot Of the slope the riders
came out through n grove of young,
quaking asps into sudden view of the
picturesque and imposing tribal cOun-
Gil. Fully half the tribe had gathered
together for the occasion. All up and
down the valley the meadows were
dotted with their ponies. The Indians
were assembled in a dense crowd
the men in a deep band around the
chiefs, the women and children out
side.

1t is worth something, is it not,
to have 10.4S years added to your
life?
Not only that, but as a result of
these betterments, the employing
printers of the nation now have a
much higher type Of workmen than
were ever before known to the in
dustry, and so they, too, have been
benefited. Seldom, indeed, will you
find an employing printer who would
care to go back to the old condi
tions of long hours, low pay, and
bad sanitary conditions resulting in
the inferior class of over-wrought,
sickly, and incompetent workmen.
The world is progressing; union
ism daily demonstrates its fitness to
all thinking minds, and it is here
to stay until the problems of labor
which are the problems of life
are settled.

PASTIME AMUSEMENT
PARLORS

The Pastime is one of the amuse-
ment centers of Everett where you
can always depend upon meeting
some of your friends. This parlor
carries twenty-six billiard and pocket
billiard tables, besides a lunch coun-
ter where an excellent meal is serv-
ed and a soda fountain where soft
drinks of all kinds are always
ready.
The Pastime has been established
several years and has enjoyed an
ever-increasing patronage. Mr.. c. W.
Driesslein and w. j. Becker, the
popular proprietors of this resort
are men of high standing and well
known to organized labor by reason
of the fair and liberal attitude they
have always maintained in matters
affecting the interests of labor in
general.
They have always given literally
to any movement that had for its OBJ
ject the lettering of conditions OF
the working class and are entitled
to the greatest consideration by or
ganized labor where matters affect
ing their interests are concerned.

WHO'D HA' THOUGHT 1T?

Nobody ever accused the Ohio State
Journal of Columbus of being radical
or even mildly progressive, but here
is an editorial clipped from a recent
edition. Read it for yourself. The
next thing the Cincinnati Times-Star
will be for some diluted form of mu-
unicipal ownership.
"At the edge of a big city in
Ohio is a large area of land be-
longing to a multimillionaire who is
putting it to no use whatever and
who is doubtless holding it merely
to own it; while all around him are
people painting for land upon which
to build little homes, or raise a few
chickens or vegetables for family
subsistence. 1t is impossible for
one to understand why a person will
do this, or why the government will
permit him to do it. Land tenure
is itself little frail, unless the
people are benefited by it. Some
thing should be done with every acre
of land in support of the peoples
good, and where hundreds of acres
simply lie idle the people suffer.
at is all right to own land, but
no man has a right to it who does
not use it for his own or the pub
lie welfare. One can not under
stand why a millionaire wants to
deny the people a tract of land which
he is not using himself. No one
would advocate taking it away from
him, but there ought to be some way
devised for bringing about the sale of
it at moderate price. There is a
school of economy that holds that
ownership of land is not well ground
ed, and their contention gets strength
from the fact that the land is doing
nobody any good"

THIS is WORTH WHILE

Any movement that demonstrates
its ability to add 1913 years to the
average life of its individual mem
bers is certainly worth while. Well,
that is exactly what the Topographic
cal Union has done for its members
as is shown by the actual and ac-
curate statistics kept by the inter
national office for the past 16
years.
The time was when workmen in
the printing trades died at a very
early age, due to speeding up, long
hours, low pay and bad sanitary
conditions in workshops. When the
union was finally organized strong
enough to gain some practical con
troll over the industry in which its
members work, they began enforc-
ing betterments along these lines.
AS a result of these betterments,
printers are living much longer than
they did in the old days when they
worked as the "open shop" crowd now
wants men to work-"when you
please, for whom you please, and for
what you please" Of course, we
lost all those CELEBRITIES" which are
so sorely bemoaned by our "open-
shopites" -liberties that never ex-
listed, even as myths-but we have
gained 1O.48 years more of life
down here on earth, get fairly de-
cent pay, good hours and good con-
ditions.
The proof of this statement is
shown by the following table, show
ing the gradual lengthening of life |
of our members, ranging upward |
from ALPS years of age at death |
in 1900 to an average age of 51.73 |
at the end of the fiscal year

An Interesting war souvenir reached
this city today. It was piece of the
skin" of the German super-Zeppelin
L-5O. which came to grief in France
the latter part of October, after raiding
London and killing many people. 1t
was sent to Mrs. Josephine Laughlin
of 27o9 Wisconsin avenue by her son.
Howard S. Laugh1in. Army field clerk,
A. G. O., who is secretary to the Amer
ican general commanding the Army
schools in France. He is also chief
clerk In the clerical force connect d
with the headquarters of the Army
schools of instruction in a French city.
According to press dispatch.s the L-5o
came down some where in burgundy.
not a great distance from the Swiss
border. Her commander said that he
lost his way and was compelled to de-
scend for lack of gasoline.
Obtained Parts of Gas Bag.
Young Laughlin said he obtained
several pieces of the Skin" as well
as faucet from a gasoline tank and
a button from a coat of a member of
the captured German. crew. This skin
consists Of heavy. tough cloth Of
close weave. impregnated with some
fluid, SO as to give it the hue of
cigarette stain and a very smooth
feel" Adhering to 1t is a substance
that at first glance looks like wa ed
tissue paper. but Is SO tough that 1t is
difficult to tear it.
In his letter Laughlin says: II am
inclosing a souvenir which / am sure
you would like to have It is a piece
of the gas-bag Of a Zeppelin, the L-50.
which was brought down near here.
Perhaps you read of the five Zeppalins
which we're brought down In France
October 20. A high officer took me
over to see II. and have several pieces.
one of which is a faucet from one Of
