 ''Of course l didn't know it. dear.

Surely you must not think that I could conspire with Paula 10 force my oHp child upon you without your consent"
 Did you love her, Jack?'' "I don't know. dear. I didn't love her as love you. She is beautiful and clever. and amusing. We were together almost all the time for s little while.

 .'She Is rcry efficient" comment ed. aud in another minute we were inside our rooms. the parcels had been deposited on chairs and tables, and Mrs. Bird was outside again.
 "Is Everything All Right?"
 X glance told me that Harriet. in- deed, had followed instructions. The the traditional inch of their lives, sat demurely around a small table ab- sorbed in game which Harriet had slipped into her suitcase. The suit case and bags. packed save for the necessary last things, stood open at one side of the room, and Edwin and Harriet in armchairs where they could keep monitory eyes on the children were making a brave pre- tense of reading,
 They both sprang to their feet as we entered, and helped us dispose of the parcels. Characteristically. they asked no questions before 'the children, but signsled them into the other room, with 8 quick but smil- ing admonition to Mary to keep her brothers quiet if they wished to see the new things l had brought them.
 'Is everything all right?" Harriet asked breathiessly. I've saw. the car come in, and it looked as if the driver were afraid you were being followed
 "We were" replied, and then swiftly. in as few words as possible, l told them Of my trip, of Liliian's plan to send them away by boat, and of the fact that both avenues of land exit crom the grounds were guarded. Harriet drew her fine eye brows together In an anxious frown. but as I had foreseen, she rose roy ally above her fears, and when I had finished her only comment was:
 We've less than an hour to get those children into as many articles of clothing as they can carry. and to compress the rest Of the luggage into the smallest possible space. Come. Margaret, we haven't a second to waste"

KEEP LOOKING YOUNG
It's Easy-If You Know Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret of keeping young is to feel young-to do this you must watch your liver and bowels-there's no need of having sallow complexion---dark rings under your eyes-pimples-a bilious look in your face--dull eyes with no sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety per cent of all sickness comes from inactive bowels and liver.
 pr. Edwards, vell-known physician in Ohio, perfected a vegetable com pound mixed with olive oil to act on the liver and bowels which he gave to bis patients for years.
 Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets, the sub. sutute for calomel, are gentle in their action yet always effective. They bring about that natural buoyancy which all should enjoy by toning up the liver and clearing the system of impurities. Dr.Edwards OliveT Tablets are known by their olive color. l5c and 30c.

ON HEALTH- FEED BODY PROPERLY

Of food he eats All living cells need food to maintain life and supply en- ergy for work. Hunger is merely an appeal from cells for food.
 To produce heat for the body some. thing must be consumed. Work burns up fuel, like a locomotive. All work done in the body or by the body uses up materials that must be made UT through food supply. Food Is the body's one source of energy.
 Scientific estimates show that the body is capable of doing work equal to the lifting of 300 tons one foot from the ground.

The Way Harriet Rose Co Meet
 Her Task

Her Task
 The children win be safely on their way 10 the ship" I repeated stupidly enough when Mrs. Bird had outlined her plan for the fooling of the watching detectives by the de- parture of two motor cars. empty, save for the drivers, down tho two roads leading from her home. But if both roads are watched by men in swift motor cars how are you going to get the children away before our cars start?'
 Tt will be high tide by dark" . Hrs. Bird replied quietly.
 "Hjgh tide . Oh i"---with sudden con,piehending remembrance of the small structure half way to the hay which the driver had told me was a boathouse you mean they're to get away by boat"
 Exactly :" she said. Mrs. Under wood in this note tells me that pas sage is all arranged on a ship, and that she herself will be out in the bay near here tonight on board a good-sized boat which will stand by ours until they both get to a land ing place where your people can be transferred to the larger boat. After that 1t will be easy"
 But suppose"---I began. then stop ped diffidently.
 That the people trailing you also think of the bay" she said. well, that's a risk we have to take. but I think it's a light one. In the first place, they're not absolutely certain you're here In the second place, they haven't had time 10 do much more than arrange for your trailing by auto, and besides I don't think it would occur to most men that women would be willing to take a lot of chill dren on small boat into the bay. They'd figure we'd be afraid of up- setting. or afraid in the dark or something"
 That little Mrs. Bird had batted often with masculine disparagement of her courage and her ability, was easy to guess from her ability, was tenn ptuous tone. But the next sec ond she had dismissed from her mind whatever grievance sho had and she rose to her feet briskiy.
 All Skill Needed
 You have a good two hours be- fore 1t will be safe to sart," she said. "Dinner will be ready to serve in an hour. You can get everything packed for them ready to go in that time. can you not?"

prey to the elemeuts and another
monument to Indian Bureau waste
and inefficiency, notwithstanding
the many honest efforts that have
been made to have them made into
some use that would benefit the
Indians and the surrounding coun'
try. Also the disposition of the
several employees cottages, etc.
The removal of the agency from
White Earth to Cass Lake. which
was in direct violation of the
terms of the agreement of 1889, is
a very important matter that
should receive due consideration
from the committee.
While the committee is to start
it's inquiry at Cass Lake, it will no
doubt visit all Chippewa reserva-
tions and ceded reservations in the
state in order to hear witnesses
and get first hand information in
order to facilitate its report.
Webster Ballinger, of Washing
ton, D. c., attorney for the Chip
pewas, will be in Minnesota few
days prior to the arrival of the
committee to confer with repre-.
sentatives of the Chippewas in
regard to their claims against the
Government and to prepare all
matters that are to be brought
before the committee. Mr.. Bal
linger will represent the Indians
before the committee at its hear
ing, and his long association with
the affairs of the Minnesota Chip
pewas and his knowledge of ex-
isting conditions make him the
logical person to represent them.
In the meantime all local coun-
ellis are preparing their local mat
ters and selecting committees to
meet the investigating committee
when it arrives in their respective
localities.

TAXATION TAKES PROPERTY.

That any state should confiscate
all farm lands and make tenants of
the occupants would seem unbe-
lievable. But the process is under
way, and at present rate of pro-
gress will be accomplished within
the lifetime of the present genera
tion.
DR.. K. T. Ely, of the University
of Wisconsin, shows, by official
tax records of states, and also by
figures compiled by bureau of
economics of Department of Agri-
culture, that the states will soon
absorb by taxation all income of
farm lands.
1t is principle of law that to
take the income from property is
practically the same as to take the
property itself.

1880 and 1920 increased in value
from $45.97 to $l13.17 AN acre,

III per cent. In Kansas values
increased from $1,000 to $62.3O in
1920, and taxes 271 per cent from
1913 to 1921.
Since 1920, land values have
decreased at an average of 20 per

Title to Executive
Order Indian Lands

In an article, under the above
caption, in a recent issue of The
Indians Friend, Mr.. S. M. Bro
sius clearly stated that the issues
involved in the matter of the leas-
ing of mineral lands on the ap-
proximately twenty-five million
acres of executive order Indian
reservations. He pointed out that
the question of the Indians title
to such lands was involved, and
told of the effort made to secure
official recognition of the Indian
claim of ownership which had
been denied by the Secretary of
the Interior.
Since the publication of that
article the Attorney-General of
the United States has rendered an
