me-" he said genially. "They help
to make life pleasant at the Stat.
ler."
Judge Perkins has been my law
yer for a great many years" said
Mrs. Maltby.
Suppose we go into the library,
where there are writing materials
and where we can draw up the
papers more easily" suggested the
judge.
Joyce would have remained where
she was, feeling that the matter
afoot did not concern her. but Judge
Perkins took her arm and said,
Come. Miss Daring; we shall want
you for a witness"
So she, too, went Into the great
book-lined room. Joyce had never
seen so many books in one place
outside of a public library. She
tried to read some of the titles,
philosophy, theology, history, eco
nomics, the Waverly novels, Dick
ems, Thackeray.
"You must come out here and
read sometimes" said Mrs. Maltby.
II seldom read to myself now, my
eyes have grown too poor. But
still love to come and take down old
favorites. Do come out and spend
an afternoon here occasionally,
won't your"
I'D love to-" said Joyce. Would
you, would you let me read aloud
to you if l did?"
Mrs. Malby's lips twitched a
little. THAT is the kindest thing
any one has said to me in years, -
she returned. II would be very
happy to have you read to me, my
dear"
She took Joyces hand a moment
then turned to the business in hand.
Judge Perkins had been writing
on a sheet of foolscap in a rapid
flowing hand. Now he BEGAN to read

also known as Gladys Warner. do

by, now deceased. Therefore l dc
willingly and freely renounce all
claim whatsoever to his estate and
TO his name. In consideration of this
act l do acknowledge the receipt OF
fifty thousand dollars payable to me
at the signing of this instrument.
Both Joyce and Gladys started for,
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-04-01

Mrs. Maltby requested the girls to
wait for a short time until her law
yer could arrive. While she was
gone they talked in low tones.
81 know it seems like a dirty deal
to go off and leave you this way,
JOY" said Gladys. Maybe you can
get one of the other girls to go in
with you on the expense of the
apartment. But l figure it like this:
Hops SO used to seeing me around
now that he don't pay any attention
to me. But il go away, he'll sort
of take notice and miss me, you see.
Then I'll write him a letter or two
and maybe things will get started
again"
I'm going to sell the diamonds
and stuff Forester gave me. Thatll
give me enough to live on until I
get job again. I'm going to quit
my job this week here and go to New
York Sunday night. Soon as ! get
there I'll sell my jewelry and then
I'm going to send You three months
rent, because that's the shortest time
you can spend in that apartment
and feel like moving. Don't say no.
You've done lot for me, and send
ing back my share of three months
rent is the least I can do"
Presently Mrs. Maltby returned.
A few moments later her lawyer, q
tail, thin man, whom Joyce recog.
nized with start as Judge Perkins,
appeared in the doorway.
He nodded to both Joyce and
Gladys and shook hands with them
cordially when Mrs. Maltby intro.

come any time before noon that
would be convenient"
Then let us name a day -
Wednesday? At ten-thirty? l will
give you lunch and send you to your
work in the motor" She took Joyce's
arm and went with her to the draw
ing room, where the butler was wait
ing with a tray of cakes and wine.
Joyce and Gladys went back to
the apartment rather silently.
TITS after SIX" Joyce said, look
ing at her watch. Frankly is COM
ing to get me at seven. It's my
night to go out to the old ladies'
home to read for an hour"
Frankly was on time. She was
always breezy and friendly to
Gladys in spite Of Gladys lowering
glances at her.
"'Bout to freeze outside, dearie. +"
she said. Where's your fur coat,
JOY? You ought to get one of those
grey squirrel affairs, it would make
your blue eyes shine Que like pieces
of summer sky. There, hear Frankly
being poetic. Got a nice long letter
from my Johnny boy today. Makes
me feel good all over"
Down in the car they chatted and
Joyce told her of Glad's decision to
go east.
I'm sort of glad" said Frankly.
II can see quite plainly that your
friend Gladys doesn't approve of me
as a bosom friend for her JOY. I've
been afraid she'd chase me out of the
kitchen with a frying pan if I took
you up on those cooking lessons.
Now 1 can come in peace"
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-04-01

Gladys" Mrs. Maltby always pAused
before speaking her daughter.in-
laws name. IF had been willing
for you to live near Forester and
to see him often it is quite possible
that he might have been more eager
to get well, might have lived longer.
Then, too, you have been very loyal
you have not gone out for parties
and other good times suitable to
your age, and you have been en-
ployed in a position that must have
been very distasteful to you"
mo, it wasn't said Gladys fatty
Il liked it down there fine. Every
body treated me white as could be.
[ didn't mind the work. I did hate
to turn down dates all the time,
though"
After certain length of time, ,
said Mrs. Maltby, "h will be glad to
present you to group of young peo-
pie here and you can once more
have some gayety."
"Swellsw scoffed Gladys. I'm
going to give you the lowdown on
this whole thing, Mrs. Maltby. 1

Forester. He treated me right
when he married me and l owed him

"Mr. Hopkins" breathed Joy.

"Mr. Hopkins" breathed Joy.
Gladys nodded.
But now she went on. But
now he don't pay much attention to
me, and I've made up my mind to
beat it back to New York and see
if l can't get a. job in the chorus
again. 1 need an awful lot of linn
bering up, but l can get that, and
I still love to dance more than any
thing else in the world. You see,
Mrs. Maltby, I'm what you'd call a
roughneck, and l guess l wouldn't
ever be anything else. Now, Joyce
here is different. We're good pals,
but nobody knows better than me

The sooner 1 can forget this hell of
the last three years the sooner I'll
get this sick look out of my eyes
and get a little pep back"
Mrs. Maltby sat as though turned
to stone. Then she inclined her head.
II understand, Miss Warner" she
said coldly.
Il shall expect you to sign a legal
release, containing a statement of
the fact that you and my son never
lived together as man and wife and

he asked.

said Gladys. I'D be just as glad

Gladys shook her head violently.
Il never would" she said.
She then signed the agreement.
Joyce witnessed it. Judge Perkins
affixed his notary seal and then
took from his brief case a wallet
containing a certified check for fifty
thousand dollars.
Gladys thanked him. She shook
hands with Mrs. Maltby and thanked
her. Then. followed by the judge,
she left the room. Mrs. Maltby

Long Live Christ the King

AND one day the happiness of the Indian was
"a interrupted. At the shores Of Mexico arrived
a group of white men, armed with swords, guns
and cross. The Indians FASTENED to defend them
selves, and for the first time they heard war
cry that they never forgot: ViUG Cristo Reg (Long
live Christ the King). The white men were adj
vancng their pathway strewn with the
corpses Of Indians. ViUG Crsto Reg and the cross
bows deeimated the ranks Of the 1ndians ViUG
CrjstO Reg and the villages of the Indians
burned; YiUa CTisto Reg and the Indian virgins
were violated in the presence Of their fathers and
brothers.. Viva CTisto Reg and the sacred temples
Of the midas destroyed; Viva C1-isto Reg
and the independence Of the Indian ceased to exist;
in its place was the harshest slavery. And the
Indians longer had the land; the Spanish gentle
men had it.
The lash fell on their shoulders and throughout
Mexico just cry was heard: Via CTistO Reyl
The years passed, many years full of sorrow and
humiliation until at last the Indian resolved to free
himself by fighting, and then at the cry Of Viva
CristO Reg Hdalgo and Moreos were shot, and at
the cry of ViUa Cristo Reg the aspirations Of the
Indians were silenced by aristocracy which came
into power The years passed, and an Indian, Be

the cry of Via Cristo Reg was heard again from
the mouths of those who opposed the conquests of

White Bird and his and opened wal by
killing some Of the settlers. These aveng-
ers rode back to the NeZ Perez camp with
the scalps Of their victims. Joseph was
at that time on Salmon river, arranging
for the removal of the tribe. White Bird
had come gu in the open n rode bold
.ly about the valley, proclaiming war.
The fierce Too-hul-hul-sote took adj
vantage Of the situation. His voice was
always for war. When Joseph arrived, he
found that he was too late. The whole
tribe had declared for war against the
government Of broken promises" He
made a vigorous protest, but without
avail. Finally, when he saw that his
people were determined to fight, he de-
termined to lead them, although, in his
heart, he was confident that there could
be but one result.
Howard then took personal command,
sending attachments in every direction.
The troopers were ordered to strike the

warriors fought against the forces of

other officers commanding the forces of
federal troops, the mastery retirement
OF Joseph, leading his rapidly diminish

and children in the 1000 mile retreat
from the Big Hole battlefield to the Bear
Paw mountains, are we'll known incidents
Of history.
Chief Joseph II.
This Chief Joseph II. of the Nez Perces
was the most notable indian of all thu
Old West. He was courageous, a master
in war and strategy, Of noble mind, and
more nearly reSembled the Cooper type
OF early Indian romance than any other
Indian leader mentioned in history.
Twenty-Five years ago last October he
died, old n heart-broken, on Tongue
river, Idaho, where he spent the last un-
happy days Of his life. General Miles
once said of Joseph: "He is the whitest
Indian I have ever known" When JOSEPH
was told Of this remark, he said: Gen
eral Miles cannot compliment me by call
ing me white. I could not insult a gooc
Indian worse than by saying he was like
a white man. All my life I nave tolc
the truth. I cannot say the same of any
white man I have ever known"
