CHAPTER XII Continued. "You ndd to my regret. Yet, as act log agent. It Is my duty, to censure your father nnd Mr. Vandervyn for de ceiving me. Had they told me about Nogcu'i umlfeiisaiice Ids blocking of the new treaty and compelling the In dians to work the mine without pay "He did that?" Marie questioned her Cither. "Well, me and Mr. Van done all we could to git him t" !"'' ''iiV mumbled Dupout. "Of course! Hut he I did not think aim so mean!" The girl's eyes bin.'.' and her nostrils dlliilrt. '"So that u why he was shot? I don't blame the man who did It I could have done It myself I The thief!- Ueggle. If only you had let the killer escape!" "Couldn't," tersely replied Vander yn. "He was blood-mud would have got Charlie nnd me, ton. If we hadn't got him." "That was self-defeaxe." said Har dy. "It has been greed anikdNlionesty, though, that have prompted you to conceal from mo the facts that led up to the killing. Aside from the danger to me, you have permitted tho tribe to terge upon nu uprising that would hnvo compelled their pacification by the war department. All this thai you might steal the ore of this mine." "Steal our own ore?" bellowed Du pont. "You're plumb locoed!" "Not so loud, If you please." quietly replied Hardy. "The ore Is not yours." "That's all you know about It," blus tered the trader. "Ain't 1 ono of the discoverers and locators of the lode?" "The lode Is not subject to location. It Is on Indian land." 'What if It Is? Ain't I n member of the tribe?" The tribal land has not yet been Hotted In severalty. Kvery square foot of ground on the reservation be longs to the tribe ns a whole. No one member can hold Individual title to ny of It" "Well, what of It?" demanded Du pont, far from silenced. "If the tribe wants to work the mine, and they want me nnd Mr. Van to mauage It for them and buy the ore, what In hell have you got to say about It?" "Nothing at present," answered Hardy. "If the tribe consents, I shall make no objection. You will be able to cheat them of only a few thousand dollars before the new treaty Is con summated nnd ull this mineral hind opened to location and entry under the mining laws." The veins on Vandervyn's crimsoned forehead were swollen1 und pulsating with his furious anger. He spoke In high, airy lone: "So you urc going to pull wires to get our mine taken way from us?" "I shall see that Justice Is done to ward the tribe," said Hardy, aad he fixed the younger man with a glance that compelled him to blink nud look aside. Hut now Marie's swlfl-moiiiitlug corn and anger burst out In a storm of passion : "You hypocrite! you self-righteous martinet! You would reprimand my father and Mr. Van, would you? And each a thousand times better mau than you! Who has made all the trouble "The Whole Tribe Hatci You and I'm One of the Tribe." here since you came? The whole tribe hates you and I'm one of the tribe! You straight laced prig! Yon say Pere nnd Iteggle are dishonest, when all they wish to do is to give the tribe good work and good pay. Hut you yon wuat to take away the mine from the tribe and from us too '" Ilurdy winced under the scornful reproaches, yet did not yield a hair. "I bnve done my duty, Miss Dupont. - I hall continue to do it. I have no In tention of robbing anyone of what Is rightfully his." "Yet when the reservation Is thrown open for entry, someone else who never saw the mine mny slip la ahead of us and Jump It," said Vandervyn. "That Is something I cannot pre vent," said Hardy. "You can I" contradicted Marie. Tbe chiefs wIH not Insist on the new um neeti proiniHed ine nBenry oy nu iii'iiunim mini-, uinruvi-r mi- iimmna treaty they will do what Here thinks best for tlieui nnd us, if you leuve the matter to him and Iteggle." "I must do my duly as acting agent," insisted Hardy. The girl turned her back upon hlin in open disdain. He raised his hat to Iter aad started for the cabin, his fuce white, but lift shoulders squurcd back and Ills head very erect. CHAPTER XIII. Another Curd or Two. A few minutes later Hardy came out of the cabin. Though grave, he was I and alert. He at once walked up o I'lipoiit, who sat pufllug nt his pipe on i be loj) of the mine-dump. "llcdbear seems to be quiet," he said. "Where Is your daughter?" Dupont pointed vaguely down the mountain-side. "She went off with Mr. Van, to try to smooih down his fur. You riled hlin considerable, Cap." "I regret that It was necessary to reprimand you." "All right. Cup. I don't bear no grudge. Melibc now you'd like to take a look at the mine." "Yes," crisply agreed Hardy. Dupont rose and led lilui luto the riouth of (ho tunnel. There he un locked a heavy tool chest nnd took out two caudles. These were needed, for though the tunnel ran Into the mountain side less than three hundred feet, Its twisting course along the ore vein soon shut out the daylight. Du pont noticed his companion's dubious look at the soft ore-body that formed the roof and one wall of the tunnel. . "Walk quiet, and don't talk loud," he said. "We ain't done no timbering yet. Drove In litis drift to the foot of the shaft Inst us we could git the lazy cusses to work, so's we could figure what we had to count on.", Hardy made no reply until they came to the end of the tunnel nnd stepped out Into the dim daylight of the shaft bottom. He looked up the big, square, timbered well, and re marked: "You satik this first, then drove In to meet It." "Yep. Wanted to make sure the vein didn't pinch out nowhere. Nogen and Mr. Van both figured we got three hundred thousand dollars of ore as good as blocked out." "Ah," said Hardy, and he signed to Dupont to lead the way back. They had gone twenty-five or thirty paces when n little slither of ore fell on the floor of the tunnel In front of Dupont. Instantly he sprung forwurd. with a whispered cry: "Jump quick !" Hardy leaped after blm, barely In time to clear the ton or more of ore that dropped from the roof lu n mass. Without stopping to look behind them, the two men hastened stealthily down the slight slope of the tunnel, their candles upraised and eyes fixed on the soft, raw ore-body above them. At nny moment the entire roof might cave In nud bury them. The shock of the first fall loosened small quantities of ore all along the passage. Fragments drib bled down behind and In front of the fugitives uud even ou their heads. I'anlc-strlcken, they broke luto a run. It was none loo soon. As they dashed around the turn that brought them to the outlet, tho entire roof behind them came thudding down. Safe oulslde, Dupont shook the fragments from his hut and clothes, and pulled out his bandanna to wipe oft the sweat that was gathering In bends on his forehead. "Ugh I" he grunted. "Don't never M-c me In there ug'in till It's timbered." "Hather close call," remarked Hardy. "You're a cool one," muttered the trader, and he scowled. "Nom d'un eblen! Just my luck! If I hadn't sung out, you'd V got smashed under that first drop." "I shall not forget It, Dupout." "Me, neither. 'Stead of being rid of you, here you are ready as ever to clean us out and I . done It I" "Yon do not regret saving my life," asserted Hardy, "Well, mebbe not. Just the same, It's mighty hard luck on us. Hero we went and blocked out all thnt there ore three hundred thousund dollars its good as in our pockets tioC. to speii k of all that's down under nnd t'other side the shaft. For all we know. It i mis clean through the mountain and down to China 1" "That does not alter the situation," said Hardy. . "Mebbe it don't, nnd then ag'ln " Dupont beg'au to scratch his head. "Yes, mebbe It don't, und then, ag'ln, mehbe It does. Just you take a look at It this way, Cap, Suppose that new treaty goes through, the tribe don't glt nothing out of this mine, und we don't, neither. Just some lucky bum bents us to It, nnd the government says It's lilsn. Is thnt fair and square?" "You have ucted outside tho law," said Hardy. "You must take your chances with other locators." "How about the tribe?" queried Du pont. "Don't you care nothing about their Interests? Just supposing you and me nnd Mr. Van took hold of this here proposition, for the tribe nnd split even with them on the proceeds. I call By Robert Ames uie muruer or Agent rtogpn. in pi. nitucklnx IntNim. Thry are Jnequi-s ncy clerk and nephew of Senator I I . I ..I .1 .11 . I. . that a square deal to t licit) and us, too and I know Marie would think the same. She likes you, Cap. Just show her you want to do what's best for all concerned, and I'm dead sure she " "Stop!" commanded Hardy. "Leave your daughter out of this." " "You've got to tell me how I'm going to do It," replied Dupont In an Injured tone. "If I don't git my share In the mlue, Mr. Vnu cun't afford to take her; and you won't have no show. Hut you git In right with Marie, and she'd work her hands to the bone for you. She ain't no common breed 'irl, neither. You know that. .She'd he a real Indy, tf alio had money only you ain't going to give her do chance." "She knows that I wish to marry her." said Hardy. "Think she believes that when you're going to rob me and her of a fortune?" lardy looked directly at the temp ter, hU eyes clear and resolute, though his face wns white and drawn. "It Is of no use, Dupont. I shall do what 1 consider my duty." I'upont's faeo 'darkened. "8o that's i Nut I git for saving your life. You ain't pit o particle of gratitude, nnd you don't care a hang about her." "1 must beg to differ with you," suld Hardy. "But I cannot expect you to understand my position." Dupnnt drew out Ids pipe and re turned to his seat on the mine-dump, to brood on his wrongs In morose si lence. Hardy thoughtfully walked Imck to the cabin, drew out a writing pad from one of his saddlebags ami began to draft a semiolllcial letter to the most Influential of his few ac quaintances lu Washington. He soon became so Intent that he did not notice the half-dozen figures In darn blue uniform that came swing ing down the precipitous uiountuin- side above the terrace. When at last he finished the letter and looked up, he saw all the members of the police escort drawn up In line before blm, their swarthy faces ullght with re spectful friendliness. Their sergeant uttered a guttural word of salutation, and begau making signs. Hardy smiled, shook his head, and looked around for an Interpreter. Du pont still sat sulking ou the mine dump, but Marie and Vandervyn were coming bnck up the mountain side. They appeared only a few yards away, us Hardy glanced about. His Hps drew tense when he per ceived the girl's happy blushes uud the look with which Vuudervyu was regarding her half-averted face. At sight of Hardy she straightened with proud disdain, and would hnve Immediately gone around Into the cabin had he not spoken. "I'nrdou me, Miss Dupont. These men wish to report to me. Mny I ask you to Interpret for them?" The girl turned coldly to the ser geant, who at once poured out an Im passioned declamation, emphasized with swift-formed signs. Lie was still talking, when Dupont sullenly sham bled over from the mine-dump. His discontented face darkened still more when he came within hearing of the speakers. At hist the sergeant finished bis Im promptu oration. Without looking at Hardy, Marie gave the substance of the speech with contemptuous curt ness : "lie says they think you were very brave to follow the shooter Into the broken mountain. They are very sorry that they could uot again llnd the trail of the bad Indian after los ing It on the bnre rocks from which he must have Rhot Charlie." "Tell them that is all right The fellow thought I was the enemy of his tribe. He will soon learn bet ter. Neither he nor uny other will again attack me." "Yes, you have talked Thunderbolt Into believing you the tribe's dear est friend," Ironically replied Marie. "These silly fellows trailed you to the chief's camp, and have swallowed whole the account of the wonderful good things you ore going to do for the tribe. "All this push nnd fuss wns over that and your big heart." .Uegardless of the mockery In the girl's eyes, Hardy turned to smile and nod at the policemen In acknowledg ment of their kindly feeling. Dupont muttered a curse, ami ven tured an Ill-humored remark loud enough to reuch Hardy's cars: "The wholo buuch'd sing n different tune if I told them how he turned down the chance to give the tribe half what's In our mine." "Chuck It, Juke!" Interposed Van dervyn, with a good-humored smile that surprised Hardy no less than the trader. "It's tip to us to take our medicine. We know It will not be to the best Interests of tho tribe. The responsibility, however, is his." "You ain't going to throw down, ore you?" exclaimed Dupont. "What else can we do?" mildly asked Vandervyn. "The game Is up." "What if the government don't tnnko It no rush, but has the entry men draw lots?" objected Dupout "I been fool enough to show Cap through the diggings nud tell him what we Bennet got blocked out If he ain't square enough to keep his head shut, we won't stand no chance nt all of buying out tho entrymnn what drawn first choice In the lottery." "You see, cnptnln," said Vandervyn. "As we discovered and developed the lode, do you not think the- honorable thing would be to mnke no mention of the mine In your report?" "The tribe should receive a largo payment for their mineral lands," re plied Hardy. "Quite true," agreed Vundervyn, Ids voice ringing clear and strong with sincerity. "There wns talk of pay lug them fifteen millions. I think It should be fifteen 'or twenty. We have found Indications of other lodes. I am sure you will see that It would be perfectly honorable to report that fact but leave out nil mention of our mine. That would protect us, nnd do no harm to the tribe. If you see It thnt way, I will pull all the wires I can to convince the government that (his part of the reservation Is rich In minerals. My uncle Is chairman of the treaty commission. If his report favors a poymept of fifteen or twenty millions to the tribe, congress will ap propriate that amount." - "If there are Indications of other lodes us rich as this one, fifteen mil lions Is none loo large a price," said Hardy. "You agree to help obtain fair compensation to tho tribe?" "Provided you do the fulr nud hon orable thing by us," replied Vauder vyu. Hardy considered, and nodded. "Very well. As between you nnd the other entrymen, It seems to me right to withhold your secret You found and developed this mine, and It Is not tho fault of yourself nnd Dupont that Nogen had the work done, at tho ex pense of the tribe." "Here nml Mr. Vnn will puy them for nil the work," proudly stated Ma rie. Dupout gaped In blank amazement at this unwelcome prediction. Not so Vanderv; n. "Of course we shall pay them, cnp tnln," he confirmed. "I Intend to list the claimants nnd tho amount due them nt tho council tomorrow. Nei ther Jake nor I can ufford to settle with I hem out of hand. Hut Jake will allow them part paymen': lu trade goods, and wo shall make other pay ments as fust as we get returns from our next ore shipments." "Very good," agreed Hardy. "You are to understand, however, that the tribe must voluntarily bring the ore to the reservation boundary nnd there sell It to you. Have you considered tho risk of the public surmising the existence of the mine from the ore shipments?" "No chance' of thnt," explained Du pont "Nogen let It out thnt ho got the ore from a prospect In tho moun tains clean back across tho other boundary of the reservation, nnd he showed n round a smelter report of n shipment of ore that we'd doctored with barren rock so's It Just pnid out expenses." Ilurdy did not smile. He returned gravely to Marie. "In view of the general agreement, Miss Dupont, may I hope that you " "You may not, Cnptnln Hardy," she ungraciously interrupted. "You In sulted my father. lie nnd I shall at once leave for home." Dupont looked to Vandervyn, and received u.sIgn to ucquiesce. "Don't want to leave you In the lurch, Capi" he snid, "but if Marie's set on going, guess I'll hnve to." "Tell four of the pollco they nre detailed to escort yourself und Miss Dupont back to tho agency," ordered Hnidy, He raised his hut to Marie. "Hermit me to wish you a pleasant Journey!" The girl turned nwny without reply ing. Hardy stood for a moment cool and still under Vandervyn's exultant smile; then faced about und steadily walked off along the uiountulu ter race. He did not return to the culiln un til the greater number of the saddle and pack ponies had been brought up from the valley and the returning party hud mounted and ridden awny on the back trail. Vandervyn started off with them, and Ilnrdy's keen, hazel eyes dimmed us, leaning aguiust a gnarled pine on tho slope above, he wntched the lovers ride away, sldo by side. Angered at himself for his momen tary weakness, he sprang down the ledges to the terrace, and hastened back to talk with Kcdbear. Ho was met nt the cabin door by Oinnn, who placed n finger on her lips nnd whis pered that her brother had at lust fallen nsleep. Hnrdy withdrew to the shady side of the cabin, where be sat down on his saddle nnd began drafting a list of in structions for tho tribal delegates to Washington. He was still writing them when, shortly before nightfall. Vundervyn came Jogging back to the mine. He had had a delightful ride with Marie, and he complacently Inti mated the fact to Hardy. In the midst of this subtle torment ing of his rival, Olnni came out to serve the supper that she had cooked n the cabin. Vandervyn nl'ruptly changed the subject, and began to talk about tho council next day. Hardy gave no sign thnt be observed this sudden break or the furtive, adoring glances that the girl bestowed on Van dervyn ns she gilded softly to and fro. Tho night came on, clear and still. As they puffed at their after-supper pipes, Vandervyn suggested thnt, out of consideration for the young woman, they roll up In their blankets outside the cnblu. To this Hnrdy made no ob jection. They picked out a' soft spot matted with fallen pine needles, uuder 8 a low-growing tree, nnd soon both were seemingly fast asleep. After several minutes Vundervyn spoke to his companion in a low tone. Hardy did uot answer. Vandervyn drew out his pipe and struck a match. He held the Hume above Hardy's fnce. The eyes were closed, nnd the severe, half-melancholy expression of the harsh features was relaxed as If In heavy slumber. Vandervyn extinguished the match, and slipped out of his blankets. Noise lessly he crept down to the cabin nnd around to the door. It wns burred on the Inside. Ho tapped on It There was n sliding sound within the cabin, uud the heavy door began to swing inwurd. Vundervyn put his foot on tho threshold to enter. At tho same moment a sinewy hand grip jied his -shoulder and Jerked hlin away. He cursed, uud clapped his hand to his holster as he whirled about. It was empty. He bent for wurd to spring at tho durk form in the half-open doorway. "Stand back I" came the stern com mnud. "I hnve your revolver. Olunn. close the door." The door swung shut. In the tense silence the rattle of tho bar as It snct back Into Us socket wns distinct. - Van dervyn's teeth ground together. "You stralght-lnced prig !" be choked out "Get away from here! I'm going In." "Supposo I do not choose to give It?" "Then I will protect her by ordering you to leave the reservation as fast as you can travel." "1 see," taunted Vandervyn. "You want to get rid of me, so you can have "You Insulted My Father!" clenr sailing with Murle. You're n great one to spout about honor! You'll go und bint to her about this." "You know very well I cannot do thnt. Yet If you refuso to give me your word, I shall feel Justified In telling Dupont my reason for ordering you off the reservation." Vandervyn burst Into a cynical laugh. "Do you think Juke's tho sort to care. "When tho hupplness of his daugh ter Is nt stuke " "Precisely. Ho thinks I'm her one best chance. "Very well," replied Hardy. "Since, like this poor girl's, her natural guardian Is unfit, my position ns acting agent requires mo to take his place. My appeal to you as a gentleman hav ing failed. I must conclude that you are not n gentleman. I shall be com pelled to disclose this incident to. Miss Dupont. You shull be escorted off the reservation under arrest" "You'll order tut. " cried Vandervyn, nnd nguln he bent forward ns tf to lenp nt his rival. Hardy stood cold and motionless In tho dim starlight The younger man checked himself. Ills voice shook with suppressed un ger: "You've got the drop on me now. Walt till we hear from Washington," "Until I am relieved froui my pres ent detail, I shall consider myself the guardian of everyone and everything belonging to the tribe," stated Hardy. There followed a silence of several momeuts' duration, In which Vauder vyn must have found time to reflect. He drew back a step or two, lit his pipe, and at last remarked In a some what forced tone of conciliation : "1 see you're like nn army mule no use trying to budge you when you balk. I give you my word to act ns u gentle man in this affair." "Very well," replied Hardy. Vandervyn started off, sueWng nt his pipe. Hardy turned about, nnd locked tho door on tho outside with the henvy padlock that hung loose In the jnmb staple. He put the key lu his pocket, and walked nround the cabin to make certain Hint there were no other openings larger than the narrow crevices of the loopholes. When he returned to the tree, lie found Vundervyn already outstretched. lie picked up his blunkets and moved down the slope, to spend the night In the nioro congenial company of the two remaining Indian policemen. CHAPTER XIV. In White and Dlack. In the morning Olnnn did nut show herself outside the cabin, though Hardy called a kindly good morning to her. Her brother, with ono arm carefully bandaged and in a sling, brought out the breakfast thai she cooked. He looked so weak and un steady that Hardy at once assented when he mumbled that he wished to go back to bed and rest until the council. "You must have your wits about you this time," added Ilurdy. "What ever the cause of the misunderstand ing ut the first council, it must not recur. You nre too cureless In your Interpretations. Inform your sister that she Is to be present. I shall re quire her to check you." "Would you make a girl as shy ns she Is stand up In a tiibul council nnd Interpret?" remonstrated Vander vyn, as Hedbenr slunk around the eud of the cabin. "The presence of ' her grandfather will give her courage," replied Hardy. "It Is necessary that she should be present I do not trust either the ability or the honesty of her brother." Vundervyn shrugged, and suld no nioro. Half an hour or so later he asked permission to use Hardy's pen and pnd to write snine letter. - Tho captain handed them to hlin, and started up tho mountainside ubovt the tunnel mouth. A steep path led tip to the top of the spur ridge from which the shaft hnd been sunk from the upex of the outcrop of tho vein. As soon ns he bud gone beyond ear shot, Vundervyn roso to stretch him self nnd call softly through the near est loophole. He then seated' himself on his saddlo unit began ro write. A tlsteuer would have had need to be near at hand to have heard the tow murmur of Itedhcui's and (Mima's voices through the loophole above Vandervyn's bead. When Ilurdy returned from his umiiiuflon of the upper vorks of tbe mine, Vandervyn sealed lu his pies once the two letters that he .had writ' ten. They appeared decidedly thin, lu view of the time that Vandervyn had spent lu his rrltlng and the number of sheets of paper gone from the pud. Hut Ilurdy did not observe this. Ills attention had been diverted by n large party of Indians that had appeared on tho velvety green meadows of the valley bottom. The tribal council had begun to us semble. This time the chiefs and headmen did not come alone. From fur camps as well as near, the men of the tribe were bringing their fntnl lies to sec the l.nngkulfe chief whom they had first hated but now believed to be their friend and father. Hy noon their uumbers laid grown from scores to hundreds. Shortly ufter the midday meal one of tho Indian policemen brought word up to the cabin Unit the head chief had arrived nnd (lie council wns ready to talk with the agent llurdv at once gave command to mount. As soon ns Ilurdy und Vundervyn stnrtcd to ride down the slope, Olunn slipped out, and held her brother's pony UtT blm. She then mounted her own, aad rode after him. At the foot of the slope thn riders came out through a grove of young, quaking asps luto sudden view of the picturesque and Imposing tribal conn cil. Fully half (lie tribe had gathered together for the occasion. All up und down the valley the meadows were dotted with their ponies. Tho Indians were assembled in u dense crowd tho men in n deep band around the chiefs, tho women and children out side. Do you believe that Vandervyn can persuade Oinna to do so or scare her into misinterpreting Captain Hardy's statements to the tribesmen? Will Hardy catch Vandervyn at his dirty work this time and punish him for it? (TO UK I'ONTINL'lJ.'J.)

Ilalhslmiie Hummock struggled wenrlly up the nineteen (lights of stairs to his draughty garret studio. No food had passed his lips that day except twenty liard-boiled eggs and six cans of spoiled sardines originally packed In lard.
