THE FULTON COUNTY NEWS, McCONNELLSBURG, PA. The Quarterbreed U rTTTTTTTTTTT-ri BnrTinnrinnnnannnnnnrD An Indian Reservation Tale by ROBERT The three precedino. Installment! described the rescue ef a quarterbreed girl and two men from an Indian attack at the edge of Lakotah Indian reservation by Capt. Floyd Hardy, U. 8. A, the new Indian agent The rescued one are Reginald Vandervyn, nephew of United States Senator Clemmer and agency clerk, Jacques Dupont, poet trader, and his daughter, Marie. Vandervyn tells Hardy of disaffection among the Indians, of the murder of Nogen, the last agent, and of his having been promised the agency. Hardy calls a council of head tribesmen. Redbear, the halfbreed Interpreter, brings his pretty sister, Olnna, to the valley. The new agent learns that the Indians have been cheated and has reason to suspect Dupont and Vandervyn of crookedness. He plans to square matters with the tribesmen. How Captain Ha-dy Is thwarted In his purpose, how his life it endangered, how Vandervyn show) his true character, is told in very absorbing style In this installment CHAPTER VI Continued. Unweii by his superior, Vundervyn nodded encournRiiiKly to Uedbenr mid smiled at the Indians. Hardy had not turned bla steudy gaze from Tl-own-konza. "The chief la not iincry," he said. "We Khull soon bo friend. Tell liini that I come In ponce, with n food heart toward all the tribe. I do not blame the killing of Mr. Nogen on the tribe. If white men huve done any wrong to the tribe, I shall stop I lie wrongdoing. If there nre any members of the tribe who nre doing wrong, the chief should help mo make all do right." , Tlil.s time Itedbeur did not hr.sitate. He fuced the assembly and rolled out a flood of Lnkotuh with desperate ra pidity. Almost Immediately Tiown konzn rose to reply, Ids face ubluze with Indignation, bis voice Impassioned. When lie bad spoken, lie remained standing. "He ay he Is angry," began Hed ear. "No," brusquely contradicted Hardy. Look at his face. The others arc an gered, ile Is not. There Is some uils tnderstandlng. He cureful thnt you Interpret correctly." "He says he Is nngry," insisted Hed bear, Ids sidelong glance looking past Hardy to Vandervyn, who was nodding reassuringly. "He says he Is trying to keep It Inside, but the others can't hold it Inside. He says you have got to go away or there will be fighting." Hardy straightened on his chair, and ls look becutuo severe. He spoke TI-owa-Konza Rose to Reply, His Face Ablaze With Indignation. sharply: "Tell the chief It is useles to ask mo to go nwny. I do not wish to send for the Longknlves. lint they will come and fight the tribe If there Is any uprising." Itcdbour's Interpretation wns fol lowed by a hush more threatening than gestures or outcries. Vandervyn has tily beckoned to the policemen. They cuiiie ulong under the overhang of the warehouse until they were behind the white men. Hardy heard the soft ecu (lie of their nincenslnetl feet In the tlUHt He looked around and frowned. "How Is this?" ho demanded. "I particularly wished no demonstration ef force," said Hardy. "Well, since tho police are here, hadn't you better let them stay? It will be close enough work If matters come to a scrap, and there's Marie out to see the fun." Hardy turned around to look at the daring girl. She Htornl on n slight knoll midway between the assembled Indians and her father's cabin. "Tnko her hack to the house," he or dered. "But would It be wlso for me to lenve you and Charlie just now? The police may not stuy loyal If" "Gol" The command was peremptory. Van dervyn started off, yet contrived to ex change glances with Itedhenr. Hardy Studied tho semicircle of waiting In dians with n resolute gn.c, and, us before, fixed his attention upon Tl-own-konza. "We must lenrn what Is the cause of this 111 feeling," he remnrked to the hnlfbreed. "Ask them why they are opposed to their young men trading ore for Dupont's goods." Jiedhcnr spoha slowly to the Indians, his manner not unlike that of a man who approaches a barrel of gunpowder with o lighted torch. There was no explosion, hut the old head chief flared with unmistakable unger. Hu replied with a fiery declamation thut won grunts of npprovul from his fellows. The linlfbrecd's voice was unsteady as he Interpreted: "He he snys there hall be no more barter of ore. He ays all over again that this Is tho land of lils tribe, and white men have ao right here, and he hates all Long knives." "Tell lilm that lie Is mistaken. The soldiers have always been the best friends of tho Indians. I find thnt, after next spring, no more food and goods are to be Issued to tho tribe. Sooner or later, white men will come and take the ore If .the Indians do not dig It themselves. Another thing, I believe the tribe should agree to the dividing up of Uiclr land, so U'ut each head of n family can have his own farm und work It after the manner of the white men. Other tribes huve done this, and they nre no longer poor." Uedbenr hesitated, stepped more aside from Hardy, und began to prur out a torrent of Lukotah. He had spo ken only n.few sentences when a wuve of agitation passed over the semicircle of Indians. IllunUeta slipped down from coprer-red shoulders; fierce eyes glared menacingly nt Hardy. Several of the more excitable bucks leaped up with how and rifle In hand. Hardy thrust out from nmong the police und raised his hands to Tl-own-knnzn In the peace sign. The head chief called to his fellows and turned his back upon the agent with dellber- m!o contempt. All the others faced about mid followed him to the waiting ponies. The baud mounted and rode off up the valley in morose silence. CHAPTER VII. The Common Law. There was still more than a trace of red In Hardy's sallow cheeks wheu Ma rie, Vandervyn and Dupont came In upon hi in nt the ofllce. Pupont held out a congratulatory hand. "I!y gar, Cap," be said, "you sine had n mighty close squeak of It that time. Guess old Tl got ull-Mred hot. Where's Charlie?" "Itedhenr? I sent blm to reassure Ids sister end the families of the po lice." "Thnt wns very thoughtful of you, cuptaln," said Marie. "Itut It would be far more consider ate If you would Jenve the reserva tion," added Vandervyn. "How so?" queried Hardy. "Of course, you'll fancy I am think ing of my promotion. Hut It's not that nt nil. Ask Juke." "I got It from the p'leece," said Du pont. "The whole bunch was crazy to shoot you ; they'd done It, too, only Charlie sings out to 'em that Mr. Van was going to be agent, nnd you'd go away." "He said thut?" "Oh, captain, don't be angry nt Char lie," Interceded Marie. "He had to do It to save n light." "Cut why? I could uot have been more friendly, Yet everything I said seemed to anger them." "I told you they're a ornery buuch," replied Dupont. "It wns for because you being an otllcer. The chiefs hate nil soldiers like plzcn. Most of the old ones wns In tho ghost-dunce cruze, and got Jailed by the soldiers." "They may cool down nnd he willing to listen to reason argued Hardy. "Cool down? They'll go bnck und sit nnd stew and stew till hell bolls over. Next thing happens, they'll stir up the young bucks. Noin d'un chleitl Just when I was glttlng enough ahead In' my business to tuke care of my old nge and give Murle a chance to be a lady to stand to lose everything and her und my scalp to boot I" "You nre free to lenve here with her whenever you wish." "No, I olu't. I can't leave my store all my property." "There would be no dnnger If It were not for you," said Marie, her eyes Hushing with indignation. "If only you had not come here! If there Is un outbreak, It will bo all your fuult I" "Mine?" "Oh, I know you mean well. Hut If they've taken this violent dislike to you Why ever did you come? You saw how they like Mr. Vun. Had they thought you would Insist on staying, nothing could hnve kept them from attacking you Hut tho promise that Mr. Van Is to be their agent, that paci fied them. Had you never come here, all this would not have happened. The chiefs would have come to tulle with Mr. Van, and would huve gone back satisfied." Hardy swung around In his chnlr to scrutinize the guileless face of Vun ilervyn. "What do you say to thut, sir?" be interrogated. "What can I say?" replied Vander vyn, twisting the tip of bis blond mus tache. "It Is for you to decide to leave for tho good of tho tribe, or to stay und take the chance of un up rising." "The way you put It" considered Hardy, "lvrhap It might be better for all concerned if I should leave." "You bet it would, Cup," eagerly broke In Dupont. "Taln't no Joke. Them ornery cusses '11 git you like they done with Nogen, Just us sure as shooting." Vandervyn shot n furious glance nt the blunderer. Marie was looking nt Hardy. Hut she did not need to see tho tightening of Ids lips to realize what her father bad done. "Oh, l'erel" she reproached. "Why did you say It? You should have known Cuptaln Hardy could uot leave ufter that." "Quite right, Miss Dupont," said Hardy. "You mean, you won't leave?" osked Dupont "How can he?" Vundervyn smoothly cut In. "You've put It up to htm thnt It would be deserting Ills post under fire. He's an army otllcer ho wouldn't leave now even If he knew his staying here meant certain massacre for us DP AMES BENNET all, followed by certain mussacre of the tribe by the troops." "I will remain until I have made at least one more effort to pacify tho tribe," replied Hardy. "You nre nt liberty to resign whenever you please. Mr. Dupiint has ample time to remove Ids goods und his daughter from the reservation." ' Not me," declared Marie j "I don't care whnt Here nnd Itegglo say; I know there Is not one of the tribe who would harm me, even In nn outbreak." "Well, mebbe not," admitted her fu ther. "I gather that I ntu tho only person who seems to be endangered," re marked Hardy. "This being so, I will wait a few days for the excitement to subside, and will theu cull another council." "They won't come ng'ln to meet you," predicted Dupont. "Then I shall go .to them." "Into the mountains, captain?" ex claimed Murle, her splendid eyes wid ening with concern. "Surely you will not venture among the camps." "The tribe must learn that ! mean friendship." Dupont paused to scratch tho side of his head. Hut Vaudi-rvyn spoke without nn Instant's hesitancy: "You nave no right to throw your life away uselessly, captuln. Suppose Charlie and I make a trip to the camps, to see If we cannot quiet the tribe and talk the chiefs Into giving you another hearing? If you have no objection, we could tell them that you cannot leave Just now, but that you will do so as soon as you have tried to benefit them." "And Hint Mr. Vnu'll be next agent," added Dupont. "Will you tell them that I am here to help- them nnd to be their friend)". queried Hurdy. "Trust me to put It to them strong, captuln," nssured Vandervyn. "I know you'll play fair by resigning In my fu- vor as soon us you huve the tribe In bond." "After I have done what I can do to Improve conditions nmong them," qual ified Hardy. "I do so hopo Mr. Vun enn persuade them to be friendly with you," said Murle. "I know he and Charlie will bo perfectly safe. But It will bo hard to talk them out of their strange dis like to you. When will you start, llvg gle?" "Knrly tomorrow morning, If the cap tain has no objections." "The sooner tho better," agreed Hardy. "I'll go nnd remove my council cos tume," snld Vandervyn, smiling at his Irrepronchable frock cout. Marie nnd her father rose with him. Hardy bowed out the girl and returned to his desk. Ho wus deep In tho midst of a report on tho tribe when, half nn hour later, Vandervyn returned to tho ofllce in his riding togs. "Charlie may not come back this afternoon," he remurked. "I thought I might ride down and tell him about the trip. I could fetch your mnre for you." "Very well. I shall be obliged," re plied Hurdy, nnd he returned to his study of the report. Vandervyn rode down along the far side of the stream, keeping the thick ets us much ns possible between him self and the Dupont house. Ho did not recross the creek until ho wus op posite Itedbenr's home. He found the cabin door closed. Hut at a slight movement of the window curtains his hand went up to beckon with a lordly gesture. There was a short piui.se. Then the door opened a scunt inch. "Hello!" he suid. "Where's your brother?" "He has bus gone to tell tho po lice families." "On the agent's mare," guessed Vun dervyn. "Please ho didn't meun any harm please don't tell on him." "That depends," replied Vandervyn. "Do you think I care to favor lilm when you net as If you hale me?" "Unto? No.no!" Tho door opened several Inches and as suddenly closed to u narrow crack. Hut Vandervyn hud caught a glimpse of tho girl's blushing fuce. His voice dropped to n caressing tone: "You'ro not afraid of me, are you, Just because I wanted a kiss? Como out hero und talk. I won't blto you." "You promlso not to to kiss me?" "Not unless you wish me to," "Hut but I do!" came buck the nulvo confession. Impulsively ho started to swing off his pony. Tho cnhln door shut with a bang. He straightened In the saddle, waited a long moment, frowned heav ily, and started to rldo awny. From the window camo a plaintive cry: "Oh, please, please!" Ho deliberately dismounted, flung tho reins over his horse's head, nnd walked to the opened window. The eager, frightened face within blushed scurlct and shrank back. He stopped short "See here," he admonished, "If you're going to bo silly, I shall go awny for good. You've got tho door barred, and you know I shall not try to crawl In at a hole like this." "I I won't be," she faltered. "Thnfa better," be suid, and ho reached In to slip his arm around her .trembling shoulders. Shrinking yet yielding, with eyes timidly downcast nnd olive cheeks burning with blissful shame, the young girl allowed lilm to draw her closer, Her lips quivered, yet she rnlsed them to meet Ids kiss. There I" he milled. "Wus It so dreadful?" She did not answer; she could not. Her head drooped forwurd with tho instinctive modesty of an Innocent young girl. He put tho forefinger of his free hand under her chin nnd raised her head to tuke u second kiss, "One good torn deserves unother, sweetheart," he said. "You should not not call me Hint," she whispered. "You nre n gentleman white man; I urn only a halfbreed I'm yellow ns o Chtnumun." "No golden. You nre my golden girl. Your cheeks are wild roses und honey gold. Your eyes are like a fuwii's; your lips sweet ns honey Another kiss There, that's more like It You're learning how. Now look nt me." She ruined her drooping lids with the sudden, desperate courage of one who is very shy, nnd gazed up nt him, her tender eyes starlike with the soft glow of her love und ndoratlon. "You you really llko me?" she whispered. "No, I hate you like poor Lo hntes firt water. Give him n taste, and he wants it nil. I want you." "Charlie he said I must mnrry a white man. I nin Joyed in my heurt You suy you want met Hut I am only n halfbreed girl, nnd you "You're my honey-sweet girlie. Go und open tho door." She looked up nt lilm again full and direct, and his gazo sank before the trust In her clear ryes. "You wnnl me to be your engaged girl!" she murmured. "When people are engaged, they nre going to bo ninr rled. Charlie said I must tnurry a white tnnn, a good whlto man. You nre kind to inc. It Is wonderful. I have read that even army officers hnve mnrrled halfbreed girls. But you nre grander than any olllcer, nnd you are very good to think of marrying me." Vundervyn forced a. smile, and re plied to her ndulntlon without meeting her enraptured gaze: "What else did yon think I meant when I kissed you? Of courso wo shall he mnrrled. As we nre here on tho reservation, It will bo according to the custom of the tribe." "Married? Oh, my heart sings I" cried the girl. "I will be your wife yours I I can't believe It There conies Churlle. I must run and tell him." Vandervyn hastily released her, nnd drew his nrm out of the window as he looked around. "Walt I" he commanded "He's com ing fust enough. Leave the door burred." Tho halfbreed was racing Hnrdy's marc up the creek bank at a furious gallop. He flung himself out of the saddle und advanced upon Vandervyn, his face dark with suspicion. "Whut you suylug to my sister?" be demanded. Tho white man met his threatening look with n half-contemptuous, half amused smile. "I've been showing the girl whut I think of her," he replied. Uedbenr enmo to a sudden halt The muscles of his fuce began to twitch. "Oh, Churlle I" reproached Olnnn. "What makes you look nt him thut way? Why don't you thank lilm?" She unbarred the dour and stepped outside, "For whnt?" questioned her brother In a harsh, strained voice. "Hecnusc ho Is going to bo my man going to tuke mo for his wife." "Marry you? Oinnn you?" Tho halfbreed could not believe his cars. Through his daze shot a flash of angry susplclou. "But you you won't marry her!" Vandervyn smiled In his careless miinner. "Oh, I guess yes." "You'll mnrry her? You'll take her to town nnd mnrry her like white people?" "I'll mnrry her as somo white people marry. I'll not take her to town. Olnnn and I havo agreed to be married according to tribal custom." Again Itedbenr's weak fnco dark ened with suspicion and anger. "1 won't hnve It You're white, nnd Olnnn is half white. Whlto people don't mnrry Indian fashion." "You know a lot about It Charlie. Haven't you ever heard of common-law mnrrlnges? Lots of white people get mnrrled thut wny." "Whnt way?" "You must know about It Instead of going to a lot of fuss and botUT over ministers nnd licenses, many "It Will Be Hard to Talk Them Out of Their Strange Dislike for You." pconle Just tnke each other for hus band tud wlfo and go to housekeep ing." "Is Is thnt n real whlto people's marriage?" asked Olnnn. Vundervyn frowned. "You don't think I'm lying, do you? Why, you often see In the newspapers about common-law wives getting their share of their dead husbands' estates, Just the same as If they hud gone through all the fuss of weddings. Ask Hurdy If thnt does not often hnppen." "Well, if It'a a reul mnrrluge " muttered Iledbeur. "Of course It Is, Clinrlle, If he suya so!" cried Olnna riipturously. Her brother's fuce glowed with sud ileu unconcealed cxultunce. Ho statu mered almost Incoherently: "Then you Mark you don't mnrry don't mnrry Marie." "No," replied Vandervyn, nnd his voice rang clear. "I liuvo no Intention of marrying her." "Maybe Marle'll like mo now, when I tell her you nre going to be tny brother," sighed Uedbenr. Vandervyn laid a brotherly hnnd on his shoulder. "Hold on, hoy I" he suid "You let me manage things. You know that Marie thinks she likes me, But now Hardy Is here, and he wants her. If she hears that I have thrown her over, she will run off with lilm." "She don't like lilm." "What If she doesn't! ne's an army officer. He bus money, and when he goes from here he will wear his unl form, nil gilt and spangles. You know how the girls like thnt" No I tell you there's not the ghost of n show for you until he Is out of tho way. Our little bluff didn't work. He says he Is going to stay. So for n while you and Olnna must keep still about tho mar' rluge. Tomorrow morning you und I are going Into the mountains to talk with the chiefs. Olnna will go with me. But It must be understood ut the agency Hint you huve sent her to Who could you send her to?" "Ti-owa-konza Is our mother's fa ther. Not even Mr. Dupont knows that," suid Hedbear. "Before ho cunie here, she run off with n hud white man. They went to the Blackfeet. After a time ho got an arrow through his back. My mother camo home. Tl-own-konzu would not see her face. She hud to work for the agent till they made um go nwny to school. Then she died." "Old Thunderbolt your grandfather?" remarked Vandervyn, seizing upon tint ono fact In the squalid tragedy. "Does ho know It?" "1 told blm so today. Hu said my face But mnybo he will como to like mo. He said to bring Oliiuu for lilm to look at her." "That's great I We'll tell It to every body. But remember, uot n word about tho marriage until after we get rid of Hardy and I am agent Then things will go nil right for nil of us. You savvy that, Churlle? While you rub down the mnre I'll go In ahd say good ly until tomorrow morning." CHAPTER VIII. Best-Laid Schemes. Hardy had gone to the Duponts' for supper when Vnudervyn returned to the agency. He made a hasty toilet und followed. Marie met blm with marked coldness. This, however, melt ed before ho bad finished his report to Hardy. All agreed that the old chief probably would tnko a fancy to Olnna, nnd that, ns a result, there would he a fair chance of pacifying the tribe. When Hardy turned to the girt, he found her nnd Vundervyn cxchunglng glunces nnd murmuring remarks. His hnhltuul gravity softened to n smile of wistful sadness. At the first oppor tunity he excused himself. Midnight bad pnsscd before tho light in tho little citified parlor of the Dupont house was extinguished. When, at sunrise, Hardy went for brenkfnst, Marie's eyes were very bright and her look wus pensive. She ate little, nnd her manner toward Hur dy was cold nnd ungracious. After the officer left, Dupont squint ed across the table at her und began to scratch his head. "You nnd Mr. Vun burned n lot of coal oil Inst night Ho didn't git far enough along to.nsk you to hitch up with him, did he?" A red blush flamed In the girl's cheeks. Without looking up, she mur mured a regretful "No." "Guess he figures he'll wnlt nnd see If Hardy Is going to bust us up. I.Ike as not he'll skip back east If Hardy gits sore nnd chokes off our hold ou tho mine." "Whut do you menu? He'd send Itegglo awny. Tho stiff, solemn old fogy I hate him I" "Ensy, ensy, girl!" soothed Dupont "No use plunging when you're hitched to the snubbing post. Just now he's got us roped. He'll have us nil h,g tled If wo go to bucking. We've got to miiko lilm think we're gentled." "Whnt If we act toward him as we feel?" "You don't savvy nhout thnt mine. Mo nnd Nogen discovered It nnd paid honest for developing It, as you know. Well, we let Mr. Van In on It Then Nogen up nnd gits killed. Thnt makes It bulf and half between me and Mr. Van, according to nil that's fnlr nnd square. But do you believe Hurdy will look at It thnt wny? Not by n con siderable. He'll talk about It being the tribe's, just becuuse It's ou the reser vation." "I see !" The girl's eyes flashed, and her nostrils dilated. "Ho will rob you and Itegglo of a fortune yet you wish me to ho nice to him 1" "You bet I do I Cuu't you git the point? He ain't going to be bluffed Into quitting. Thnt means wo got to make friends with lilm or lose the mine." "Oh! So Hint Is It?" "Yep. Worst of It Is he's one of them there fellows whnt stand so straight they lean backwards. We talked to him about how It would help tho tribe If he Joined us In opening the mine. He wus mighty offish. Guess we'll hnve to give him Nogen's third to get him Into our camp." "Whnt a shame! The mine Is yours and Iteggle's. He hasn't done a thing townrd developing It." "I know. But he's tho agent. He's got us roped. Ho cun rob us of our mine If wo don't mnke friends with him. Now do you snvvy?" Tho girl's thick blnck eyebrows met In a frown of vexation. "If he Is a man whose friendship must be bought, I do not wish to be pleasant to him.'" "It's business, Murle. There ain't no two ways about It Mr. Van's hang ing fire, n-wnltlng to see If we lose tho mine. If we do, he can't afford to marry no poor clrl off a reservation." "Very well. I shall muko myself agreeable to Captain Hardy. But wait until I am free to pay blm out for It I" "Norn d'un chlen !" muttered Dupont at sight of her straightened lips. "That's tho Injun In you. Dou't let him sec you look that way till after we git the mine clacked." "I am not fool, tnon pore." Dupont shook his grizzled bend du blously. But ut mlddny, when Hurdy came over for the noon dinner, Marie re ceived his courteous greeting with a gruclousness thnt soon lightened the pensive severity of his look. Before tho end of the meal they were chatting In a manner that brought a twlukle Into Pupoiit's running ryes. The girl proposed n ride up the vnl ley, Hurdy was greatly pleased. He had already grasped the simple details of the agency business, und now, pend Ing the absence of Vandervyn and lied bear, hud nothing to do except Instruct the police In his Ideas of cleanliness und discipline. Murle never looked more liiarmiiig than when on a horse. She took her new friend for a long ride around me of Hie mountains. Kvery cliff nnd rock and plney slope wus familiar to "Is Is That a Real White People's "Marriage?" Asked Oinna. her. She pointed out nil the grandest and most beautiful views, and showed herself even better versed in the lore of the wild than she bad seemed to bo posted on the culture und graces of polite society. After that there was no break In her friendly manner townrd tho captain for several dnys. Fre quently they took other rides, over or around the nearest hills und moun tains. Do you believe that Vender- vyn's deceitfulness with little Oinna will be punished by the ? Indians or do you think she will escape harm at his hands? J (TO UK CONTINl'KD.)
