that doesn't prevent me from being a

to go on to Washington with the dele

Hardy saw the frank sincerity in his
companions eyes, and responded to
the assertion with an instant apology ::
"Mr. Vandervyn, l beg your pardon
for misjudging you. At times your
conduct has been ill-adviSed, but 1
no longer doubt your good intentions"

Vandervyn with seemingly genial sar-
casm. ''Do understand that my res
ignation is accepted"

make the return trip as equals" said
Vandervyn, and, as if freed from all
rancor by the thought, he fell into a
mood of suave gayety.

Marie's challenging gaze softened,

her white hands.

selfishness?" she murmured.
The appearance of the Indian boy
in the dining room doorway checked
Hardy's reply.
During supper the girl remained
unusually thoughtful and silent. Har-
dy discussed with Dupont plans for
the instruction of the tribe in agricul-
ture. The idea had occurred to him
that the government might permit him
to build an irrigation system for the
farming lands of the tribe, using In
dian laborers, and paying for the
work out of money appropriated for
the sale of the mineral lands. When
Vandervyn chose to listen, it was
with q half-amused smile that did not
always cover the underlying cynical
irony. Most of the time he devoted
himself to an attempt to rally Marie
out of her thoughtfulness. Instead

Vandervyn was up before dawn.
But Marie was up an hour earlier, and

had prepared for him. While he ate,

But when he went out to mount, she
permitted him single parting kiss in
the presence Of her father.

"Who said anything about az agree

"Now, now, keep on your shirt !"
soothed Dupont. 'Marie wouldn't
never have let you kiss her If she
didn't intend to take you"
Vandervyn suddenly changed his
tone: I'm glad to hear you say 1t,
Jake. You see, she does not alto

about our engagement-our betrothal,
you would say in Canada. But If
Hardy should hear of it, he probably

PLANTATION that the agent wanted the
chiefs to sign two copies of the memo
randum. This statement was unhesi-
tatingly interpreted by Redbear, and
the chiefs, who knew by experience
that most agency papers were signed
in duplicate, made their crosses and
thumb-prints as fast as Vandervyn
wrote their names on the two papers.
Oinna ventured to whisper to her
brother that the papers did not look
alike. He hastily repeated the remark
to Vandervyn. The girl cringed close
to her grandfather. But Vandervyn
showed no anger. He smiled at her
in manner that brought a blissful
glow into her soft eyes, and explained
that one paper gave the proceedings
of the council In full, while the other
consisted of brief notes. He then MUIR
INJURED to her something that at first
brought shadow into her joyous face,
but in the end left her radiant with
happiness.
When the leading men Of the tribe
had signed the papers and Redbear
and Oinna had attested as witnesses.
Vandervyn thrust the documents into
his pocket and went to rejoin Hardy.
AS he handed over the paper that
Hardy had signed, he remarked that,
If there was no objection, Redbear
and his sister would remain in the
mountains with their grandfather I'M
til word should be received from the
government for the tribal delegation
to come on to Washington.

agency with me?" asked Hardy.

assented Vandervyn.
VERY WELL" said Hardy. "The girl
shall remain here, and you will come
with me-"
Vandervyn shrugged, smiled good
humoredly. and vaulted into his sad
die.
Still doubtful Of his companion,
Hardy took the ponies of Redbear and
Oinna in lead. and rode over to where
the brother and sister stood in the
midst of their grandfather's immedi-
ate family. When the girl confirmed
Vandervyn's statement that she wished
to remain in the mountains, he took
ceremonious leave of the noble old
chief, and rode off to rejoin his party.
During the brief interval Wander
vyn's gay humOr had disappeared. He
met Hardy with frown, and held out
one of the letters that he had written
that morning. Seeing that it was adj
dressed to himself, Hardy tore open
the envelope and read the brief note
within.

man with a level glance, "your res

with an enthusiasm more gratifying
to him than would have been a per-
sonal compliment.
They went in to supper, earnestly
discussing his plans for the betterment
of the tribe.

sive. Harry attributed the girls half
somber quietness to his presence. AS
they left the supper table, he asked
Dupont to come to the Office.
Marie and Vandervyn followed them
as far as the parlor, where the young
man dropped into the easiest chair,
with disguised, Lord he makes me

"Or to get the handling of the tri-
bal funds" suggested Vandervyn.
"There'l be a fat slice of graft for
somebody out of all those Millions"
"You really think that?"
"What else can you expect-govern-
ment on one side and Poor Lo on the
other? It's the usual thing. I ex-
pect to get my share"
"You?" exclaimed the girl, her eyes
widening with a look Of establishment
and reproach.
Vandervyn laughed amusedly.
"Wait a bit before you dig up your
tomahawk, Miss Sitting Bull. If 1
succeed in getting the tribe fifteen
or twenty millions, instead of the five
that was talked about, it strikes me
they could afford to allow yours truly
nice little percentage as commits

"Oh, Reggie, pardon me! Of course
you should have good pay for proving
yourself such a friend to the tribe"
"And to each member of the tribe !"

"You will have to Leave before the

mayed at the unexpectedness of the
announcement.
''Tll have to go at once" repeated
Vandervyn, frowning. 81 thought of

Vandervyn smiled con1escendingly.
"My dear girl, a crooked deal can

 A rock also played the leading roil in the injury of Frank Polick, at Mile II.
