Flovd 11 wan tom in wis ni iiiBkHiiini , - Hardy, U. 8. A., Just back In the States from the Philippine where he had put down a savage uprlslno of Moros, arrives at Lakotah Indian reservation In the Northwest. He finds a party of angry Indians firing on three white persons who have sought shelter In the canyon. The whites are old Jake Dupont, a trader, his beautiful daughter, Marie, and a young Easterner named Vandervyn. They are III mannered toward Captain Hardy, but he risks his life and routs the Indians. He becomes friendly with the whites and learns that Vandervyn, nephew of a United States senator, had expected to get the agency appointment, following the killing of Nogen, the regular agent, by an Indian. Also, he dis covers that Marie Is a great granddaughter of Chief Sitting Bull, and that she has been educated In a French-Canadlan convent This Install, ment contains some revelations of conditions on the reservation. CHAPTER III. 2 Confidences. The rescuers from the ngency hud reined In their sweutlng ponies to a lope when they first caught sight of the purty on the htitto side of the coulee. They struggled down the gulley nt n walk, eight short-haired Indian police men In blue uniform, nnd n tnll, loose lipped young hulflireed In ordlnnry frontier dot hen. As they stopped In the strewn to water their ponies, each furtively studied the iv'er who wnt .in pronchlrig on the big, rangy mure. "You're too lute. Charlie." mlled Vandervyn. "Captain Hardy climbed the butte, nnd the whole bunch hit out" "Soldiers?" queried the lmlfbreed. "No, lie's iilone our new agent," plained Vundervyn as his pony brought klm alongside Iliirdy nt the edge of the tream. "Ciiptnln, this Is Cluirlle Red bear, our Issue clerk nnd Interpreter." "Interpreter?" repented Hardy. "Red bea' rto any of the police understand Kuglish?" "No, sir, only a few words," mumbled the lmlfbreed. "Tell them I nm a captain of the horse soldiers the Longknlves. I have been sent here to be tho agent" Itedbenr Interpreted In musical La fcotiih, accompanying his words with wlft signs. The swarthy policemen grunted approvingly, mid their leader rolled out a sonorous reply. The linlf ttrecd Interpreted mechnnlcully : "Ho ays your eye Is straight. He says they are ready to trail und fjglit the In dians whose lienrts are bud." . "They arc not to pursuo the party." ordered Hardy, "I shall call a coun cil of the chiefs, and ascertain the cause of the tribal unrest. Tell them." Redbeur hesitated, nnd looked uncer tainly nt Vundervyn. The chief clerk poke to hint In sharp reproof: "Do as you're told, Churlle. Captain Hardy Is aovr In command of the reservation." I The lmlfbreed stared In astonish went, but hastened to Interpret At once tho faces of the policemen be came stolid. They cast covert glanees t Vandervyn. Without seeming to no tice their sudden change of manner, Hardy selected four to act as escort to the Indian trader and his daughter. The rest of the party followed him tack up the gulley. Front the first the inure walked out In the lead. She would soon have left behind even Vandervyn's quick-stepping pinto had not her rider happened to gluuce about and catch the troubled expression on the younger man's face. Hardy waited for him to come along side, and gravely remurked: "I wish to express tny regret, Mr. Vundervyn, that my detail here has deprived you f your expected promotion." Vandervyn's small mouth curved with a cynical smile, but softened to n more agreeable expression as he met the other's gaze. "You admit It?" ho muttered. "Having accepted the detail, I cannot now ask to bo relieved," said Hardy. "Rut tho extra pay wus not one of the Inducements, l'ermtt me to suggest that arrangements can be made to di vert to your salary the amount In ex cess of my regular compensation as an officer." The offer wus as unexpected as It was generous. Vandervyn flushed, bit his Up, and replied half lnaudibiy: "You needn't think Just because No, that's not quite You may mean well, bnt that's no excuse" "My fuult, sir. Pardon me," apolo gised Hurdy. Vandervyn looked ahead at the mountains, considered, and turned to his companion with what seemed a cordial smile. "I am not used to be ing patronized, captain; but as you did not mean It that way" "Not ut all." Vandervyn nodded. "You now un derstand that I'm not one of the com mon run of Indian service employees. I was slated for attache to our em bassy at tho Court of Saint James celebrated the coming event with some friends, and wound up by heaving a brick through a window of tho White House. Uncle shipped mo out here un til the storm should blow over." Hardy may have recalled tint hiizings In which be had shared ut West l'olnt Ills only comment was: "You weie fortunate to get any appointment." "Oh, I don't know," carelessly replied Vandervyn. "I didn't wnke the presi dent, and I had some of my wad left The watchman sent me home In a tnxl. But the Infernal grafter must have peached. I got this Instead of ton doc" "Best thing for you." "You think so?" snld Vuudervyn, his wide-open eyelids drooping. "I've been Ik months la this Qod-forsuken Jump-iug-off place. I wouldn't have stayed if days If It hadn't been for Marie." "Miss Dupout seems to bo a very spirited young woman," dryly com mented Hardy. "Walt till you see her put on dog. She was three or four years at a con vent lu Ottawa. They must have farmed her out as a pnrlor-muld In owe lelect British family. Sbe cau OOCOOCCOOCQOOOCOOOCCOOO give a perfect Imitation of n real lady when she chooses," "Yes?" said Hardy. "You'd take It for the snre-nuff ar ticle," went on Vandervyn. "And that's not all. She run cook like nn nngol. Says she took a courso In domestic science. Hut It must be hereditary. I'll give odds, one of her paternal ances tors wt.h a French chef. French, that's the word. The wny she has with men I Even this hulfhrccd Itcdhcur thinks he Is In tho running. Nogen was mad over her. lie even would have married her. lint ho was not a man of family or culture. Fancy Jake Dupont for n fullicr In-law I Only thing, his squaw died five or six years ago. That was when he sent the girl to Ottawa." Hurdy looked nt the mountains and changed tho subject : "May I ask you to give the particulars of the killing of Mr. Nogen?" Vnndervyn's eyelids drooped low and opened again In a wide, guileless stare. "There's little to tell. Nogen and I and Itedbenr were riding Into the moun tains. We met the murderer. He nnd Nogen quarreled. Ho shot Nogen killed him. Then Itedbear and I fired, und one of us got him we don't know which of us It was. That's all. You'll Hud It In the coroner's report. I kept n copy In the olllce at tho agency." "Strange that an Indian should at tack a white man that way," observed Hardy. "Was the cause ascertained?" Vandervyn twisted the tip of his blond mustache. "Well. It may be all talk, but I gather that the trouble was over this ore-buying. Nogen thought It a good thing to encourage. The chiefs "I'm Not Used to Being Patronized, Captain." felt ugly because the goods were not paid to them Instead of to the laborers the bucks and squaws who dug the ore, you know. Tho chiefs stirred up a lot of bud blood. . No doubt they In stigated the murder. They want to boss the tribe their own way." "Let us trust that we shall have them In hand before full." "Fall?" echoed Vandervyn. "You ex pect to stay all summer? That shuts me out of my promotion." "You may receive the appointment of attache." "Perhaps I don't wunt It Just now. You forget Marie." The gravity of the officer's face hard ened to sternness. "Mr. Vundervyn, kindly beur In mind that, as agent of this reservation, I am In charge of the moral as well as the material welfare of every member of the tribe." Vandervyn quivered like a thorough bred flecked with the lash. His voice shook with passion : ' "Damn your Impudence I I'll have you understand you're not talking to one of your rough-neck recruits. My ancestors were gentlemen before yours were ever heard of." "I regret that you do not seem to have Inherited their gentlemanly man ners," came back the cool rejoinder. Vandervyn's reddened face went crimson. The veins of bis forehead be gan to swell. Hut with a strong effort! lie repressed his anger und forced a smile. "You went me one better, Hardy. I throw down." The olllcer responded with Instant sympathy: "1 see no reason why we should not become friends nnd work together for the good of tho tribe." "It's a go," agreed Vandervyn, and as If cleared of all 111 temper by his out burst, he began a lively conversation on otllclal society In the national en pi tal. The party topped the rise between the river nnd Sioux creek, nnd rode down the winding road that skirted its willow-f ringed bank to tho crossing of tho stream. As they rounded tho spur ridge on the far side, Itedbenr rode up on iinruys right, and pointed to a small cabin among the quaking asps In tho mile-wide curve of the stream to t left. "See my house, sir," ho sold. "Looks well built," remarked Hardy, his fleldglnsses at his eye "Quit new, 1 see. You have still to put dirt on this corner of the roof." "And to put a squaw Inside," added nndervyii. Tho hulfbieed's Juw muscles twitched, but he did not look away from Hardy. "I got n letter front my sister Olnim. Sho says she can t stay at school. She says she will die If they make her stay at school. I want her to come and cook for me (HI I get mar ried." "How old Is she?" "More than seventeen. Shu Is sick to come. She says she will die." "Very well. Hut you must lake good care of her until she Is married." "Yes, sir. I've got a lot of money," replied the hulflireed, with the prone ness of a weak nature to boust. "I've got utmost " "Almost enough to buy you two squaws," cut In Vundervyn. Recibeur started to speak, cuught the other's rye. and reined In his pony. Hardy Old uot notice this. They had rounded tho too of the spur ridge, and he was gazing up the green valley that lay outstretched In n circle of hills larger and far more picturesque than the Cntskllls. Sioux creek swirled out of ii canyon at the fur end, to moandter down a winding channel fringed will) bushes and aspens and other small trees. On n natural terrace, or "bench," two miles up, the glasses showed the log buildings nt tho agency. Midway down to Itedheur's cabin but across the creek was a large post-and-rull corral. Van dervyn hud resumed with nest his talk about the social gaieties of which he hud been deprived for half a year. Hardy snld little, but his eye wus busy taking In the natural features of :he beautiful valley. When they enme to the slope of the bench, or terrace, Vandervyn noticed the Intent look of his companion, and Inquired: "Well, what do you think of It? Tulk about Siberian exile I That Is Hie Dupout place over here." Hardy glanced at the large double cabin a hundred yards off to the right of the roud. The broad front porch gave It a homelike appearance. The two cabins before hint were very small. Beyond them stood the big ngency warehouse. Its overhanging upper story showed that It hud been built for use ns a blockhouse, but tho many windows had rendered It less defens ible than one of the cabins. The only persons In sight were the two Indian police who had been left In charge by Itedbear. "Well?" repeated Vandervyn. "Not an easy place to defend," said Hurdy. "Where Is the otllce nnd the guardhouse?" "The office Is In the near front cor ner of the warehouse. The police quar ters are In tho other end. You sec the white tepees over there across the creek? Most of the relations of the police ciiiup near the agency. This first cabin Is Nogen's yours, I should say. The second Is mine." Your quarters? May I ask you for a bite of lunch as soon as I have rubbed down my more?" "I board with the Duponts, but I can senre up n cold lunch," said Vandervyn. As they dismounted, Itedbenr came up and successfully curried favor with the new agent by offering to curry his mare. Ho led her away to the low brush stable beyond the warehouse. After lunch, though still weary from his long ride, Hardy put In the rest of the duy Inspecting the ugency property and examining the accounts of the two clerks. With the exception of two or three small Items on Iledbenr's books, everything checked accurately. Vuudervyn brought bacon, coffee, crackers and canned food, and the new agent cooked supper with the skill of an old campaigner. After they had enten, the chief clerk produced cigars In anticipation of a soclul evening. But Hardy was so drowsy that he nsked to be excused. Tho moment he was alone, ho laid his rifle and automatic pistol lu the bunk, blew out the candle, und tumbled In on his blankets, without troubling to close cither the door or tho ono small window. Tho next morning Hardy and Van dervyn were seated In tho ngency of fice when Itedbenr cume In and started to shullle around to his desk, on the other side of the olllce partition. "Walt I" said Hardy. "I wish the chiefs and headmen of Hie tribe sum moned to meet me In council as soon as possible." "It Is a day's ride to the camps farthest back In tho mountains," re marked Vundervyn. Hurdy considered, and looked up at Itedbear. "Does not" this tribe use smoke sig nals?" "Not for a long time, not since I was a boy, sir. I never lenrned how to do It." "Thnt old sergeant of police will know," predicted Hurdy. "Come!" Vundervyn lingered behind the oth ers, nnd followed thorn only to the rear corner of the warehouse. When he hnd seen them ride off across Sioux creek towards tho highest of the moun tains that encircled the valley, he went back Into tho olllce, opened tho safe, and carefully sorted ovCr Its con tents. All letters addressed to the luto agent nnd to himself bo took out and locked In his desk. Meantime Hardy and Itedbear with tho police sergeaut passed through the camp of the families of the police, where they added two old bucks to their party. A pony trail led up through tho pines on the mountainside to the bare granite crag of tho summit. Mid afternoon found the Indians standing around a greenwood fire, alternately covering It with a blanket and permit ting putts of the dense smoke to rlc In tho still air. In less than half an hour Hardy's glasses showed him an answering smoke on n penk fifteen or twenty miles distant. When he called attention to It, the police sergeant pointed out still another smoke signal off to the left of the first nnd several miles far ther away. The old limits turned from the fire and stnrtcd down to where the mure and ponies hnd been left. "The chiefs will como tomorrow," Itedbenr Interpreted their nnswer to Hardy's Inquiry. The jaded buckbonrd ponies were tugging their load up the slope of tho terruep when Hardy enme down the lino of ngency building; nt n gallop. Marie Dnpotit was driving; but on tho seat beside her was a brown-eyed, ollve-sklnned girl, who averted her Imndsomo fuce with childish shyness ns Hardy wheeled his mure nnd reined up alongside. Mario flushed under the officer's di rect gaze, (hough, unlike her compan ion, she did not seek to avoid It. He raised his hat with punctilious polite ness. Sho bowed, nnd, gazing back nt hltn with a level glunce, quietly re marked: "Good afternoon, Cnptuln llnrdy. I bnve brought your luggage." "That was very kind of you," snld Hardy ns he glnnccd nt tho other girl. Mario smiled In Instant appreciation of the fact Hint he had spoken to l.er as to an equal. She patted her com panion's work-reddened hand with her gloved fingers. "This Is Charlie Red beur's sister Olnnn. They did not treat her well at school, so she ran awuy to como home. I want her to live with me; but she suys she must bo with her brother. You will not send her buck?" The young girl looked nt the new agent with a smile of timid appeal, and us quickly drooped her head In bashful embarrassment Hardy's guzo soft ened, and he answered reassuringly: "Itedbenr spoke of his sister. It will bo all right." "You nre most kind to say It," ap proved Mario with tho condescension of a gracious young queen. "Captain Hardy, we shall expect you to dine with us this evennlg. I shall send over your luggage In a few minutes. You need uot dress for dinner." CHAPTER IV. The First Card. As Hardy wus unpacking his scant wardrobe, tin Indian boy came to the door, thrust In his head and announced gutturully: "M'ree him say yon come six." nnrdy nodded to the boy nnd signed him to go. Ten minutes Inter he stepped up on tho porch of the Dupont house. Before he could knock, Du pont stepped from the rear door of his trade store, which fuced away from the porch. "Hello, Cap I" he greeted the guest with bluff cordiality. "Glad to see you. Walk right In." Hardy crossed (he threshold and paused. The floor wus covered to re semble waxed hardwood. The oriental rugs were real. The walls were pa pered with a quiet tapestry pattern. The adobe fireplace was set with a modern grate nnd fnced with a tile mantel. The few pictures were well chosen. Thcro was no sign of the guns, skins nnd Navajo blankets that Hardy had expected to see. Vundervyn, lolling lu an easy chair besldo tho small, well-filled bookcase, looked up and smiled In boyish enjoy ment of the new ngunt s surprise. Dupont grunted apologetically: "Don't think I'm plumb crazy. It's ull Marie Said sho couldn't live here unless she hnd things just like In Ot tawa, died till I hud to give In." "Don't you let him con you, captain." chuckled Vandervyn. "It was Juke who wept becanso Mario sent oft' the mull order and ho hnd to foot tho bills." "Well, anyway, there wasn't nobody she could hire to Jo the work, nnd I hnd to go out on roundup." Dupont "The Chiefs Will Come Tomorrow," Interpreted Redbear, sought (o cover his discomfiture. "She set to and done It all her own self. I didn't have to pny a cent for thnt Sit down, Cap. Make yourself to home. Hey, Muriel you there? Here's Cap Hardy. Bring In thnt bottle me and Mr. Van wus sampling, will you?" Hardy picked the stlffr st chair In the room, snt down and promptly rose to n position of pollto attention. A young lady had appeared In tho doorway at tho side of tho room a young ludy In a semldecolleto gown, of lines Irre proachable, tho creamy whiteness of her full, round throat dlspluyed. ner mass of coul-bliick hair wus dressed lo the very latest mode. Her cheeks were as highly colored as If rouged. Vandervyr guzod nt Iwf' with the brand of admiration thot passes ovef 1 ' si.. tho footlights from the flrst-row seats to the prettiest girl In tho chorus, llnrdy bowed ns he would have saluted Ids colonel's Indy or the daughter of a Moro chief, If cither hud been bis hostess. The girl's eyes sparkled as she noted his change- of dress, his Imnmcuhi'e linen, and clenn-shnvcn chin. His bow won u smile that may huve been due either to gratified vunlty or to a commendiiblo self-respect. Shu greeted him In a tone that caused Vandervyn to strulghtcn In his chair. "It Is n great pleasure to have you dine with us." "The pleasure Is mine, Miss Dupont," declared Hardy. "You've hit It. Cap," put In Dupont. "You can Just bet your bottom dollar on It you won't kick yourself for com ing when you git to her feed-trough." Tho girl's sable-black eyes dilated nnd her perfectly molded chin rose a fraction of an Inch, Sho plnced the tray on a tea table, bowed composedly, and left the room. Vandervyn looked nt Ifordy with nn Ironical smile. The silent mockery was wasted. Hardy w'ns watching Dupont uncock the whisky bottle. "One moment, Mr. Dupont," he said. "As you uro my host, the question Is nn awkward one to nsk yet Is there not a law or n rule of the Indian bu reau against bringing liquor upon u reservation?" Dupont stared around at the In quirer In blunk surprise. Before he could find words to nnswer, Vandervyn replied for him: "According to the strict letter of the law, cnpliiln, you are right. You can't fancy that Jake would bo fool enough to sell liquor to tho Indians?" "By Gar, you bet I don't not when It's tcn-yeur-old rye," qualified Dupont. "You can't git no better stuff out of Cunndn. Marie made mo buy some wine, too, to celebrate your coming. Sho snld It was up to us to loosen up, seeing ns you hud shooed off them bucks." "Ah, since you put It that way," Hnrdy nccepted the explanation. "I must ask you, however, not to bring anything more of tho kind ncross the river." "Of course he will not, If you ob ject," assured Vandervyn. "Nogen didn't read the law us you do; but If you believe In dry weather for our selves as well as for the Indians, you're the boss." "Sure, nnd here's one nil round to show there uln't no hard feeling," said Dupont. Ho poured out three drinks, each measured to the brim of n whisky glass, ills own and Vandervyn's dis appeared at a gulp. Hardy took a sip, and asked for a seltzer. The bottle was handed around another time nnd found him not yet finished with his llrst drink. But Dupont had already begun to mellow nnd was In gay mood. "Here's to your boiled shirt, Cap," ho toasted. "Stand-up collar and a white shirt. It's sure a high-toned celebration. Bet ter wear 'em careful. Y'ou'U have to mall 'em a hundred miles to tho near est Chlnnman when they git dirty." "Cheaper to throw them away, and send a mall order (o Chicago for new ones," put la Vundervyn. He added, as he adjusted tho fashionable tie that was hardly In keeping with his gray flannel shirt: "But you'll soon take to the locnl styles." Mario again appeared In the door way. She bowed to the guests with Im pressive formality. "If you will enter, gentlemen." Hardy went In between Vandervyn and Dupont. Ho avoided the girl's proud guzo by looking about nt tho dining room. It wns as citified us the parlor nnd no less tasteful. Tho small oval table was spread with a cloth of snowy French damask. The silver was real nntlquo ware. Tho unsmiling hostess bowed Hurdy to tho seat of honor. "This here layout Is Marie's," ex plained Dupout. "She was bound to turn herself loose to even up on what hnppened at the river yesterduy.

"I have yet to learn whether I inn to hove the pleasure of boarding with Miss Dupout," remarked llnrdy. "Yon sure have, 'f you're ready to shell out for It. Grub comes high here." , "And Marie is n real chef," added Vundervyn, Hurdy waited until the Indian hoy had served the soup. At last he suc ceeded In fixing the cool gaze of his hostess. "Please do not consider that hospitality requires you to do me the fuvor, Miss Dupont," he snld. "I do not wish to Intrude, highly us I should appreciate " The deference of his manner soothed the girl's wounded pride. She smiled, nnd combined a friendly response with u side thrust at her father: "Indeed, we shall bo delighted In have you Captain Hardy I, because of your company, and Pere because of the cash." "By Gnr, bo won't git no better feed In no hotel," vowed Dupont. "I can foresee (hat," agreed Hardy. His faith was Justified by each suc cessive course. Though nil the vege tables had come out of cans, they were prepared with consummate skill. The trout were fresh from the creek f the grouse mid beef had been hung exactly the right length of tlkio In the dugout Icehouse; the champagne was frappe. 4 1 fill "If You Will Enter, Gentlemen." Between the girl's vivid beauty, the good cheer, nnd tho cordiality of his companions, his unmilly hnlf-sad nnd wholly severe expression had given place to genlul animation. Upon the return of the hostess from ono of her visits to the kitchen be spoke to her In u tone that drew a stare of open resentment from Van dervyn : "You nre wonderful, Miss I u pont, wonderfull One day In an In dian attack, followed by n fifty-mile drive; the next, fifty miles buck, and such a dinner as this!" "First the great-granddaughter of Sitting Bull, then hi bonne culslnlere Frnncal8e," flashed back the girl. "Where Is tho wonder? Two streaks of heredity, plus childhood In the sad dle and a course In domestic science." "Yet you must be fatigued." "When I have done what I set out to do, then I permit myself to consider whether I need rest. There was n time when my red ancestors had no horses. They ran down their gamo afoot" "You will always ride or drive," bantered Vundervyn. ' "By Gar, she won't never be driven," declared Dupont with conviction. Vundervyn smiled over bis cham pagne glass. He did uot notice that Marie wns looking at him. But Hurdy was watching her. He saw her proud face soften and her brilliant eyes melt with tender passion. His own face became grave. A moment later she was rallying him for his seriousness, nnd her animation soon compelled him to forget what he hud seen. Vuudervyn had not been mistaken In his assertion that she could act the lady to perfec tion when she chose. Though the cigars proved to be Ilavnnus, they were brought In much sooner than suited Hardy. Do you believe that Marie and Captain Hardy will become real ly good friends? Will he get her influence for his purposes in dealing with the dissatisfied In dians? (TO UK CONTINUED.) History of the Potato.

The German soldier does not 'rear socks, but fusslappen. These nre strips of cloth sonked In tallow and wound nbout the feet. They are sup posed to bo preferable to socks In that they wear more evenly, nre more easily cleaned and, when properly worn, nre not so likely to wrinkle nud cause blisters. Military authorities disagree, how ever, us to the relative valuo of socks and tallow-soaked strips. Either cov ering, though, Is considered preferable to the custom of wenrlng no socks, which has prevailed In the French, Spanish and Italian armies. Outlook.
