Lydia had not known since her moth

"Oh!" she cried, IT feel happier al

begin my hunt tomorrow"
Amos was keenly interested in Le-
vines campaign. He took Lydia one
September evening just before school
opened to hear John make a speech in
the square. Lydia up to this time had
given little heed to the campaign, but
she was delighted with the unwonted
adventure of being away from home
in the evening.

Of the platform.
Lydia stared up at him. She was
filled with pride at the thought of how
close and dear he was to her. She
wished that the folk about her real
lied that she and her shabby father
were intimate with the hero of the
evening. kH IS Z
The first part of the address inter-
ested Lydia very little. 1t concerned
the possibility Of a new post Office for
Lake City and made numerous excur-
sions into the matter Of free trade.
Then of a sudden Levine launched
his bolt. II
Ladies and gentlemen, twenty miles
north of this old and highly civilized
city lies a tract fifty miles square of
primitive forest, inhabited by savages.
That tract of land is as beautiful as
a dream of heaven. Virgin pines tower
to the heavens. Little lakes lie hid
like jewels on its bosom. Its soil is
black. Fur-bearing animals frequent
1t now as they did century ago.
Friends, in this city Of white men
there is want and suffering for the
necessaries of life. Twenty miles to
the north lies plenty for every needy
inhabitant of the town, bit of loan
and heaven-kissing pines for each and
all.
"But, you say, they belong to the
Indians! Friends, they belong to
filthy, degenerate, lazy race of saw
ages, who refuse to till the fields or
cut the pines, who spend on whisky
the money allowed them by benev-
client government and live, for the
rest, like beasts Of the field
"Why, 4 ask you, should Indians be
pampered and protected, while whites
live only in the bitter air of compe-
tition?
81 am not mincing words tonight. I
do not talk of taking the lands from
the Indians by, crooked methods. You
all know the law. An Indian may not
sell the lands allotted to him. / want
you to send me to congress to change
that law. I want the Indian to be
able to sell his acreage"
Levine stopped and bowed. Pande-
monium broke loose In the square.
Clapping, Kisses, cheers and catcalls.

he began to struggle through the
crowd

outer edge of the square and headed
for the trolley, 'the battle is on"

STORY FROM THE START

Lydia, with her baby sister,
Patience, returns from an after
noon of play to their untidy
home, the impoverished house
hold of her father, Amos Dud-
ley, in Lake City. Her father
friend and her own devoted ad-
mirer, John Levine, think II time

walton twenty miles away, We're
moving in order that the white
men might have this land. John
Levine, after talking things over
announces his intention OF go

but frightened, she is taken
home by Lydia and Kent. Her
father blames Lydia and Kent
for the mishap, until Lydia ex-
plains. Levine tells Amos his
plan to take timber from the
Indian reservation and ultimate
~ have it opened for settlement.
Patience succumbs to diptheria,
leaving Lydia feeling that her
trust in God is lost. She finds
comfort in the loving kindness
of John Levine. A note of Amos,
backed by Levine, and held by
Marshall, is due and cannot be
met. AT Lydia's appeal Marshall
agrees to renew it. Lydia en-
tiers high school At her first
party the other girls ridicule her
homemade costume. A fullblood
Indian boy, Charlie Jackson,
makes vague accusations against
Levine, and attacks him.

when he got home to supper he found
her porting over the two local papers

Up to this moment she had lived in a
