CHAPTER XXI.
A Sunday Spectacle.

Trouble with the tribes was well
grown before 1t was recognized. Dis
affection was ripe, the bucks were
heady, the white mans silver acting
like wine. Few Of the braves had
dreamed of ever possessing sums of
money such as they drew down each
Sunday morning. Rickard began to
suspect liquor again. In the Indian
camp Sunday was a day Of feasting,
followed by a gorged sleep; the next
day one of languor, Of growing inco-
hesion.
Richard spoke Of It to Coronel.
Like small baby" hunched the old
shoulders. Happy baby. Pretty soon
stop"
With the next wages went a repri-
mand, then q warning. Stll followed
bad Mondays. Richard then issued q
formal warning to all the tribes.
'aThe situation with the Indians Ii
serious," said Richard to NacLean.
They're getting liquor in here. some
way, the Lord only knows how. Any
way. they're not at for burning Mon
day morning. I've just sent them word
BY Coronel that it's got to quit, or they
do"
Suppose they dor MacLean was
startled. Not IN Indian could b
spared at that stage Of the game.
"BluffI" Richard got up. They
won't take the chance Of losing that
money. I'm OF now to the Crossine.

The next morning Wooster broke In

"Mr. Rickardi" she cried.

"Mr. Rickardi" she cried. "Mr.

She was trembling. Her fright had
flushed her; cheek to brow was glow
ing with startled blood. He saw an
odd flash of startling beauty, the veil
Of tan torn OF by her emotion. The
wave of her terror caught him. He
put out his hand to steady her. She
stood recovering herself. regaining her
spent breath. Rickard remembered
that this was the first time he had seen
her since the murder Of Maldonado,
since the meeting with the Mexican
woman at his tent "Wkat was it

they describe him on those notices. I

scared"
He started toward the willows, but
she grabbed his sleeve. "Oh, don't"
She flushed, thinking to meet the quiz
zical smile. but his eyes were grave.
He. too. had had his fright They stood
staring at each other. I'm afraid"
she completed. How he would despise
her cowardicel But she could not let
him know that her fear had been for
him!
He was looking at her. Suppose any
thing had happened to herl He had a
minute cf nausea. If that brute had
hurt hel-and then he knew how 1t
was with himI
| He looked at her gravely. OF course.
He had known IL a long time. It was
true. She was going to belong to him.
If that brute had hurt herI
She shrank under his gravity; this
was something she did not understand.
They were silent, walking toward the
encampment Rickard did not care to
talk. 1t was not the time; and he had
been badly shaken. Innes was tremu-
lousy conscious of the palpitating 81

yet loving her! Loving herl They
were silent again.
"You won't go off alone, again." He
had not asked 1t, at parting. His in
Election demanding it of her, was of
ownership. She did not meet his eyes.
Later, when she was lying on her
bed. face downward, routed, she tried
to analyze that possessive challenge of
his gaze, but 1t eluded words. She
summoned her pride, but the meaning
called her, sense and mind and soul
of her. It cried to hec: II, Casey

THE PROFITEERs

An up to the minute story, touching
upon matters of vital interest to every
American who has q right to~vote.
Not a war picture in any way but
gives an insight into the nefarious
methods Of the notorious Food Trust,
an unscrupupous gang Of dollar chas-
ers who "cornered" food stuffs and
boosted" prices sky-high. 1t
High cost of living explained as re-
suit of underhanded market manipula-
tions by a gang Of conscienceless prof
iteers whose only god. is money and
who enmesh an innocent woman in
their dastardly web Of infamy.
D~espicable frame up by the profit
teers against the love and happiness
Of q fearless American who boldly ex-
posed their predatory tactics-tells of
the manner in which. their leader tor
tured this mans wife and held her
in mental torment with the threat of
q disgraceful scandal hung over her
head-of a lickspittle '1ounge-lizard"
who did the dirty work for them-and
of the Nemesis which eventually got
the money grubbing scoundrels.

FORESTRY STATE NORMAL
SCHOOL NOTES

For the first time in its history, the
Forestry state normal school will be
able to house the young women stu
dents in a dormitory provided espec-
tally for the convenience. A part Of
the equipment has already been receiv-
ed and all of the remainder is expect
ed DOR Meanwhile the painting and
cleaning will be completed. Girls
from outside of Bottineau and vicin-
ity will be required to live at the dor
mitory where they will be cared for.
Board and room can be had much
more economically at the dorrnitory
than outside.
Miss Catherine M. Hart of Hastings,
Mimi, has been secured for the work
in primary and kindergarten methods
and she will have charge Of the first
or. de- in D. .cu al School,. :.veral
inquiries have been made as to the
plans for the kindergarten, some hav-
ing understood that there would be a
kindergarten provided during The full
school year. The plan for the coming
year proposes a six weeks kipdergar-
ten to be conducted at the Central
School only during the Summer Term
at the Normal School. It would be
fine if means could be found for con-
Quoting a kindergarten throughout the
school year. It is to be hoped that the

THE CHRISTMAS ROLL CALI.

HIS evening The West Virsinian prints detailed
report Of the result Of the Christmas Roll Call Of the
Faimont chapter Of the American Red Cross. and
we think every one will agree that the showing one which
reflects great credit upon the Faimont chapter and every
one Of the men and women who active IN the effort
In matter Of this kind it is impossible to single out
particular persons and say that they are deserving Of greater
praise for the results attained than other particular persons
i not nfreqdenty happens that the small amount Of SER
vice that some and women are able to give represents
greater amount Of sacrifice than the large amount Of time
or energy that Others contribute 50 it is always unise and
sometimes downright unjust to attempt to apporton credit
But even we do not believe there is much danger
Of doing any one an injustice to say that Mrs. Edwin
Robinson the Membership Extension chairman Of the
chapter under whose direction the roll calwas conducted
exhibited such degree Of sustained zeal from The begin
ming to the end Of the drive as makes US entirely willing to
venture the opinion that when Faimont chapter has
members it has all that is possible to get at time when
the country wa, going through the reaction from the ending
Of the war and experiencing epidemic Of formidable
size and viulence
The West Virgnian congratulate Faimont chapter
and Mrs Robinson.

that has taken place since the signing Of the armstice
and It is bound to have important bearing upon the
future relations OF every one OF the republics the
western hemisphere. For years our diplomatic and
commercial relations with Latin America have been the
subject OF study by statesmen and pubcists but
there has been only fragmenary exchange Of The
result is that the people know less about each other
than they do about affairs the other side Of the globe
