The first part Of the address inter
ested Lydia very little. It concerned
the possibility of new post Office for
Lake City and made numerous excur-
sions into the matter Of free trade.
Then Of sudden Levine launched
his bolt.
Ladies and gentlemen, twenty miles
north Of this old and highly civilized
city lies tract fifty miles square Of
primitive forest, inhabited by savages.
That tract of land Is as beautiful as
dream Of heaven. Virgin pines tower
to the heavens. Little lakes lie. hid
like jewels on its bosom. It's 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
Indiansl Friends, they belong to a
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 a benev-
client government and live, for the
rest, like beasts Of the field.
"Why, ask you, should Indians be
pampered and protected, while whites
live only In the bitter air Of compe-
tition?
II 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,
Uapping, Misses, cheers and catcalls
Lydia chung to her fathers arm while
he began to struggle through the
crowd.
"Well,' he said, as they reached the
outer edge Of the square and headed
for the trolley, "the battle Is on"
This was the beginning of Lydia's
reading of the newspapers. To her
fathers secret amusement, she found
the main details Of Levine's battle as
interesting as a novel. Every evening
when he got home to supper he found
her porting over the two local papers
and primed with questions for him.
Up to this moment she had lived in a
quiet world bounded by her school, the
home, the bit of lake shore and wood
with which she was intimate, and
peopled by her father and her few
friends.
With John Levine's speech, her hori-
zon suddenly expanded.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1927-01-13

yond her, "if there is q God Of the
Indians as well as the whites, you'll
pay some day! You'll pay as we are
paying"
Lydia shivered Don't talk So

Look here, LYDIA" exclaimed Char
lie, "why don't you come up on the
reservation for camping trip. next
summer. for week or so?"
"Costs too much" said Lydia.
Wouldn't, either I can get tents
and it wouldn't cost you anything but
your share of the food Kent'll go and
maybe one of the teachers would chap
eron."
Lydia's eyes kindled. Gee, Char
lie, perhaps it could be fixed! got
nine months to earn the money In. It's
something to look forward to-"
Charlie nodded and moved away.
"You'll learn things up there you never
dreamed Of" he said.
The conversation with John Levine
did not take place until the Sunday
before the election. The fight in the
congressional district had Increased in
bitterness as 1t went on. Family feuds
developed. Ancient family skeletons
regarding the pine CRAFTS and Indian
looting saw the light of day.
On the Saturday week before cleo
ton Lydia went to pay her duty call
on Margery. Elviry admitted her.
'TMargery'll be right down." said FL
vfry. "She's just finished her nap"
'Her what" inquired Lydia, politely.
'Her nap. A New York beauty doc
tor told me to have her take one every
day. She went to the hop last night.
She looked lovely In cream chiffon.
One of the college professors asked
who was that little beauty. Come in,
Margery."
Margery strolled into the room In
a bright red kimono. "How de do,
LYDIA" she said.
"Hello, Margery. Want to play pa

"Paper dollsl" shrieked Elviry.
"Why, Lydia, you are fifteen p

Charlie looked startled. Lord

exclaimed. "What're you 30 touchy
aboutr'
Lydia's cheeks burned redder than
usual. II went to a party at Miss
Towne's when was freshman and
/ promised myself I'd never go to an
other"
"Why not3" Charles establishment
was genuine.
Clothes" replied Lydia, briefly.
The Indian boy leaned against a
desk and looked Lydia over through
halfclosed eyes. You're an awful
pretty girl, Lydia. Honest you are,
and you've got more brain In min
ute than any other girl In school'll
have all her life."
Lydia blushed furiously. Then
moved by Charles simplicity and OBJ
viously sincere liking, she came closer
to him and said. 'Then, Charlie, why
hasn't any boy ever asked me to a
party? Is 1t just clothesr

CHAPTER VIII
The Note

Margery Marshall had entered high
school this fall. She was growing tall
and her beauty already was remark
able. Her little head carried It's great
black braid proudly. The pallor Of
her skin was perfectly healthy-and
even the senior lads were seen to OBJ
serve her with interest and apprecia.
ton.
The results Of Lydia's summer dress
making had not been bad. She had
made herself several creditable shirt
waists and q neat little blue serge
skirt. She came back to school with
zeal and less than her usual sense OF
shabbiness.
It was a day toward the first OF
October at the noon hour that Lydia
met Kent and Charlie Jackson.
"Hello, Lyd! How's everythingr
asked Kent. 81 haven't seen you to
talk to since last spring"
did you have fine SUMMER" said
Lydia.
Jaw, only part Of 1t. Dad made me
work till the middle Of August, then
Charlie and I camped up on the res
ervation."
'There comes Margery," said Lydia.
"She hardly speaks to me now, she's
been to New York"
"She is a peach" exclaimed Char
lie, cycling Margery in her natty blue
suit appraisingly.
"How de do, Kent" Margery ap-
preached languidly, including Lydia
and Charlie In her nod. 81 hope you
all had q pleasant summer. Mother
and were in New York"
Kent, Lydia and Charlie exchanged
glances.
IT had a pretty good summer" said
Lydia. II sewed and cooked and
scrubbed and swan, and once Adam,
dad, Mr.. Levine and I walked clear
round the lake, eighteen miles,"
ST don't see how your father can let
that Mr.. Levine come to your house ~
exclaimed Margery with sudden ener.
gy my father says he's a dangerous
man."
He's crook r. said Charlie stolidly
and finally.
Lydia stamped her foot. "He's not,
and he's my friendl" she cried.
"Levine's crook ~ repeated Char
lie, slowly. eff what he's trying to do
goes through, my tribe1l be wanderers
on the face of the earth. If thought
it would do any good, I'd kill him. But
some other brute of white would
take his place. It's hopeless"
The three young whites locked at
the Indian wonderingly. Their little
spatting was as nothing, they realized,
to the mature and tragic bitterness
that Charlie expressed. A vague sense
OF a catastrophe, epic In character,
that the Indian evidently saw clearly,
but was beyond their comprehension,
silenced them. The awkward pause
was broken by the school bell.
Lydia had plenty to think Of on her
long walk home. Charles voice and
words haunted her. What did 1t all
meanf Why was he SO resentful and
30 hopeless? She made up her mind
that when she had the opportunity to
ask him, she would.
The opportunity came about simply
enough. At recess one day a week or
so later he asked her II she was going
to the first senior hop" Of the year.
Lydia gave him clear look.
'sWhy do You ask me thatf Just to
embarraeg Wef she said.
