THE FULTON COUNTY NEWS, McCONNELLSBURO, PA. ' " r "" ' ' HI . To QMarterbreed IF you discovered that an able career was trying to do harm to the girl you loved by stealing her affections and turning them to evil pur poses, would you shoot him before he spoiled the girl or wait until he did It and then kill him? Con sider Captain Hardy's predicament, as described In this Installment. The army officer, you will recall, went to Lakotah reservation as acting ageut following the murder or Agent JNogen and a threatened uprising of the Indians. Wounded by on ambush shot, he falls In love with Marie Dupont, a quorterbrecd, who nurses him, but gives no definite answer to his proposal of marriage because she Is enamored of Reg inald Vandervyn, agency clerk and scapegrace nephew of Senator Clemmer. Hardy learns the Indians are disaffected because old Jacques Dupont, a wily post trader, and Vandervyn have cheated them In an Illegal tribal mine deal. At first the red men, deceived by Vandervyn, misunderstand the officer's motives, but flnHlly accept hlra as their friend, and a commission, led by Vanderwyn, prepares to go to Washington to secure a division of tribal lands and the sale of mines owned by Indians. Vundervyn plaus to get profit for himself. CHAPTER XVI Continued. 9 Bo begn'u the second period of Ilnr dy's close companionship with the girl, and the Intimacy appeared as sincere and friendly as the first one, when Van dervyn was In the mountains with Eedbear. Almost every day they rode out to examine the Wolf river water shed, and estimate as best they could without surveying Instruments the Dumber of acres that could be put un der ditch. Hardy had at onco written for re ports on slmllur undertakings. Be fore receiving them he was agreeably urprlsed by an omclal telegram from Washington instructing lilm to at onre end on the tribal delegation, In the charge of Redbear. So swift an un reeling of government red tape proved that powerful Influences were favor ing the consummation of the new treaty. Hardy ungrudgingly gave Vandervyn the credit of being a very uccessful benevolent lobbyist. A runner was dispatched to bring In Redbear and the delegates. Tliey came without delay: Redbear's arm was so nearly nenled that he had full use of It OInnn did not accompany him. He said their grandfather hud become so fond of her that he had Insisted upon her remaining In the mountains until the return of the del egation from Washington. Marie of fered to send for her and give her a home while her brother was away, but Redbear hastily declared that the girl Wished to stay with the old chief. Ilurdy took charge of the delegation as fur as the railroad, and Marie and Dupont went along to keep him com pany. He provided for the comfort board train of Redbear and the five solemn chiefs, and shipped thera off with through tickets to Washington od a careful set of Instructions to help them In the conduct of their mis sion. "My only wish Is that I might go aith them," he remarked, as the "Iron horse" whirled them away toward the land of the sunrise. "Tbey will be like Rubes In the Woods." Tou sure have done sour level best or them, .Cap," replied Dupont "You sln't got no license to worry nohow. Mr. Van Is there to boost 'em nlong." "Resides, you have your work here," dled Marie with a glance that com pletely diverted his thoughts. They spent the night In the rough shack misnamed a hotel, and at dawn stnrted on their return to the agency. As Dupont'a pony was continually lag ging behind. Hardy had the pleasure of Murle's company vlrtuully alone for the greater port of the ride. She seemed to enjoy this quite as much s he, and remulned In gracious good humor even through the bluxlng hent Of midday. Nor did she allow herself to feel fatigue until, after their arrlvul t the agency, she hod cooked a sa vory supper, and then cntertulned Ilurdy for an hour or more In her ar tistic little parlor. Tho next duy. fresh as ever, Jiarle was ready to rlile up to the falls and help him run a line of levels with the Instruments that he had hired In town. Never hnd he known anyone so abounding In life. Menially ns well bs physically, she seemed ever tireless, buoynnt, animated. Day after day they worked and planned for the good of the tribe; day after day her graelousness toward him Increased.- And duy after duy his love for her deepened and strength ened until It could bu seen In his every Ick and act and heard In every In flection of bis voice when lie spoke to 1 her. Though her manner toward him showed no trace of overt coquetry, she in !e no effort to repulse his silent devotion or to check the growth of , his passion. ' A week after the departure of the j delegation found blm fully looking the part of n gallant lover ardent, youth- J ful, almost handsome. He hud lost much of his former look of pensive severity. Even the silvery hairs over his temples seemed to bo regaining their original ruddy brown. A few days later one of the lines of levels happened to bring him and the girl to tho edge of the coulee, across from the butte. He suggested thut they go down und across to tho spring rill for a drink. As they turned buck, Marie recog nized the exact spot where he hml been shot Womanlike, she shud dered anil turned pule ut the recol lection, though ut the time of the oc currence she hud been so brave. "Look I" she said In a hulf-whisper. "Here Is where you fell. I thought you were killed 1" "The experience wns well worth while," he replied. His voice shook with tho Irresistible pusslon of his love. "Dearest I let me cull you that here, this onre! It was here I first looked Into the depths of your heart, and learned how good and kind you re." The girl turned to hide her face from the reverent adoration of his faze. "No, no," she murmured. "Don't jleasel" "I must speak, dear," he replied. "I ask nothing of you. It Is only that I vlsh to tell you how you made . me reuM?". nguin that Ufe Is worth living. mun of unscrupulous character and political power enough to wreck your When I came from the Coast, I had lost one dearer to me thun anyoue else In all the world my mother. She wns a little woman, very fruil her bluo eyes were dim and fuded, her hair white; but even when she wns ut tho very end her dear eyes sought to euse my grief with the same look you gave me as you bent over me hero und thought me fatally Injured." "I'lensel" begged the girl, choking back a sob. "I do not deserve Tour mother I but I am not kind nor good I" Hardy went on In the same voice of profound passion: "You lifted me out of the shudow of the Valley. You enme to me In my blank durkness, a glorious light of divine goodness that compelled me to see that all was not wrong with the universe that even so great a loss as mine might be for the best" "I am not what you think me--I nra not I" she reiterated. "You restored my fulth and hope," ho Insisted. "It would be selfish of me to ask anything more of you now" "It would be useless useless !" slip cried. He was too little versed In feminine nature to realize that her vehemence might Indicate nn effort to suppress nn Inner doubt of the nssertlon. Hnd ho been a few years younger, youth ful Impetuosity might have won htm that which his reverent respect shrunk from urging. He -hnd taken her gloved hand. He pressed It to his lips, und freed her. "I shall not annoy you, dear," he snld. "Yet I ennnot tnke that as final. I shall wait until he returns. Thou I shut! take my fighting chance." "You will?" she whispered. "I shall not give up until you have pledged yourself to him. If I can. I will prevent that He cannot pos sibly love you as I love you. If It Is possible to win you for mr wife, I will do It" Marie quivered, and shrank from him as If startled. "You say, when he conies buck But uutll then you you will not" "Until then we shall continue to be the same good comrades that we have been." The girl drew In a deep breath. "Then let us go back to work." Hardy accepted tho suggestion with a self-control that was as remurkablo as It wus misplaced. CHAPTER XVII. The Only Woman, During the pleusunt busy days that followed, to all appearances Marie en Joyed the work and planning and the long hours of companionship fully as much as Uurdy. Dupont now ever bluff and genial, kept close to his store. But during the long evening discussious his eyes often twinkled cunningly under their gray thatch. No word . luid been received from Washington except two notes from Vandervyn to Dupont, reporting fuvor able progress and Inclosing sealed let ters to Murlc. She told nothing of what these contiilued, even to her fa ther. Hardy's first and last message In regard to the new treaty was -an offi cial notification that It hnd been duly approved and signed, after fifteen mil lion dollars had beeu decided upon ns (he. compensation to the tribe for the "My Friend, Jake Dupont, Gentlemen." mineral lands. Special commissioners hnd been named to proceed to the" res ervutlon und arrange for the Immedl ate opeulng of the mineral lands to en try, und the allotment of the remaining lunds to the members of the tribe. Uurdy wus surprised when ho snw that the tlmo set for the departure of the commissioners hnd already passed, The document hnd been misdirected, had been returned to Washington, and then seemingly hnd been pigeonholed for several dnys by some cureless clerk before being renin I led to him. If ho bud not established a more fre quent mnll service, In pluce of the cus- tomnry weekly trip to town by one of the police, the commissioners might hnve arrived before' he received the uollce. He was still more surprised when, the following day, he and Mario rode down Sioux creek to where It flowed Into Wolf river. The moment the view down the coulee opened before them, they perceived several tents pitched In the bottom, at the foot of the butte. .They found twenty or twenty- five rough-looking men encumped along tho spring rill In light dog-tents. A few were cowboys, but the greater number had tn- appearance nnd outfits of prospecting miners. They stnred at Marie with the respectful admiration of typlcnl Westerners for an "honest" woman, und readily answered Hardy's civil questions. Notice of the prospective opening of the mlnerul lands of the reservation hnd been published In a few very ob scure weekly pnpers. One of the men gave Hardy a blurred sheet of a little country Journal, and pointed out the government notice. It was printed In the midst of several uninteresting legal notices. The old fellow winked know ingly, and remarked that, as long as he wns In on the game, he didn't care how quiet It wns played. "Whut could that man hnve meant about being In on a quiet game?" Mu le asked Hardy, as they rode down the coulee to take the road back to I he agency. "I believe I understand, and I do not altogether like It," replied Hardy. "The fellow probubly Is right In think ing thut undue Influence Is being ex erted to give ns little publicity as pos sible to the opening of the mineral lands to entry." "Do you really think so? Of course It Is not right Yet where Is the harm? These-men have been enter prising enough to seize the opportu nity, and they deserve the chances of good fortune." "The transaction has rather, too much the appearance of a prearranged scheme," replied Hardy. His thought ful face darkened with the shadow of ucxlety. 'If I could be sure that It would bring only good fortune to you I" The profound tenderness and con cern In his voice seemed to startle Mnrle. She leaned forward, and put her pony Into a gallop. The day before, Immediately upon receipt of tho official statement from Washington, Hardy had scut a messen ger to notify Tl-own-konzn. Two days later the heud chief came with nil his large family, Including Olnna. Murle Insisted thut the girl should come to stuy with her until the return of Red beur, and Immediately fitted out the girl with good dresses from her own wardrobe. When Hardy spoke of her generosity, she smiled and shrugged. "It Is little enough to do for any one, captain. I was tired of those old gowns. Anyway, as a quurterbreed, I owe It to my own self-reRpcct to keep a halfbreed girl from going around like a full-blood woman." "Her brother will be greatly plensed." "I had no thought of him. ne ts rather a worthless fellow. It Is strange to me how proud Olnna Is of him. She says uothlng, but one cun see thut she Is In a fever of Joyous excitement over the prospect of his return." Hnrdy frowned, parted his lips to speak, and thought better of It "You were going to say ?" ob served Marie. "Something that must bo left unsaid, If you will pardon me," he replied, and he shifted the conversation to the question of accommodations for tnc commissioners. The arrival of the commissioners early In the afternoon of the following day would hnve taken the agency by surprise If Hnrdy hnd not posted a lookout on the signal mountiUn. The prearranged smoke-sign gave warning of the approach of the pnrty while It wns yet many miles away over the plains. Even at thnt, Hardy nnd Murle and Dupont were not quite ready to greet the visitors when they came into view down the valley. The explanation of their quick trip from the rullroud at once became evident. Commissioners, Indian dele- Kates nnd all were stowed in two Inrge touring cars. Vandcrvyu wns driving the foremost car. He brought It up the slope of the agency terrace with a rush, and spun it around In a curve thnt ended before the porch of the Dupont house. The second car rolled straight on across tho terrace to tho tepee of Tl-owu' konza. Hurdy, who wns about to start ncross to the office, paused In the porch to welcome the commissioners. Dupont hurried cut of the rear door way of his store. Murle, after a slight bow In acknowledgment of Vnndor vyn's respectful salute, quietly drew back Into her parlor. In the front seat beside Vandervyn was a big, red-faced man, whose bleared eyes Immediately began to scrutinize Uurdy, and as quickly turned away when they met his clear gazo. The five men In the tonneau all had the look of a certain kind of poli tician, and all met Unrdy's cordial greeting with a cold formality thnt would have chilled even a place-hunter, Put upon his dignity by this unex pected rebuff, the enptuin drew buck Into the txireh. Dupont received more pleusunt response to his bluff welcome. He, Jerked open the d,oor of the tonneau, and offered his band to each of the commissioners in turn as they stepped stiffly out Into the porch. "My friend Jake Dupont, gentle men," said Vandervyn. Every member of the party at once smiled upon the trader, and shook hands with him. Most cordlul Of all was tho big man who had sat In the front scat Marie now stepped out to greet the visitors, and was formally Introduced by Vundervyn. With a gracious com posure that would have done credit to the most exclusive of drawing rooms, she welcomed the visitors, and Invited them to luncheon. Tho most portly member of the com mission promptly accepted tho Invita tion on behalf of himself and his com panions, nnd the pnrty followed their hostess Into her parlor. Vundervyn lingered a moment to favor Hurdy with a smile of Ironical condolence. "Chesty lot, these luino ducks I" he said. "But they stand In with tho big fellows. They had the cars shipped out from Chicago to accommodate Ihem. Better snugglo up on their warm side What, not going, surely? You must come In to lunch and show us how tactful a tactician can be." "Thanks, no," replied Hardy. "I'll ask you kindly to excuse me to Miss Dupont. The commissioners mny find mo at the office at any time that suits them." , Vandervyn shrugged and went In doors, his smile a trifle forced. He at once Joined his purty In their eager acceptance of Dupont's most cordlnl expression of hospitality, his eight- year-old whisky. Murlo had excused herself to the guests. By the time she reappeared every member of the pnrty was aglow with good feeling. The girl at once became the target for a shower of compliments, 'nil In doubtful taste, and some decidedly too free and easy. She looked to Vandervyn, and met only with nn uneasy smile. Seeing thnt he would say nothing, she replied to the offenders with a wit nnd dig nity thnt soon altered their bearing toward her. They were puzzled to find n garden rose in this rough wilderness, but she soon brought them to the reali zation thut they were not at liberty to splash mud on her petals. The luncheon completed her conquest Vandervyn enme to the table with nil the uneasiness gone from his smile. He took his seat and proceed ed to extol Marie's skill as a chef. Olnna, bearing a tray, came In, and began to serve luncheon. Though ex tremely shy, she started with a deft ness that showed careful training. Several moments passed before Van dervyn looked up nnd perceived her. The surprise wns too sharp even for his assurance. He stopped short in his tnlk, and stnred at her, discon certed. At sight of his frown the girl dropped her tray, now fortunately empty, nnd with a little, gnsplng cry fled from tho room. She did not re appear. Murle passed off tho awk ward Incident with a smile nnd a tact ful explanation of Olnnu's excessive shyness. The Indian boy finished the serving. Vandervyn had delivered Hnrdy's messages. They had been received alike by Marie and by the commission ers without comment. After luncheon one of the commissioners brusquely proposed that Hardy be summoned to attend upon them. Vandervyn Inter posed with the suave suggestion thnt the acting ngent might leave In tho safe some of the pnpers necessary to a full understanding of the affairs of the agency. At this the pnrty lingered only for n parting nip at Dupont's liquid hos pitality. Assuring Murlo that they would return In time for dinner, they left under the escort of their host With the excuse that he had mlslnld his hut Vundervyn returned to the dining room. When he cahio out he shut tho door. Mnrle was alone In the parlor. All the suppressed fire of his passion flamed In bis fuce, as he turned and come swiftly buc!t to the waiting girl. There could be no doubt thut he expected her to meet him hulf- way. ' She stood beside a chair, somewhat pale, but outwardly very calm. She did not advance a single step. Yet, blinded by his own ardor, ho came on without heeding tho look In her fuce until within nrm's-reach of her. Then ut lust he perceived her lack of re sponse, and stopped. "I suy I" he exclaimed. "What's the matter? Is this the way to welcome me buck, sweetheurt?" The term of. endearment brought a quick blush Into the girl's checks. But she replied in cold, even tones: "Are you now nt liberty to address me as your lluncee?" Ills eyes shifted beforo her level guzd. "Don't be foolish, Mnrle. You know you're the only woman. You know thut engagement must stnnd un til we ore sure of the mine. There Is something else, as well" "This Is quite enough for the pres ent," she broke lu. "I promised to wult for you until you should coino back free from your cousin. You hnve returned, but you are not free from her. Is It honorable for you to speak to me now?" "How can I help It?" he urged, seek ing to melt her with his ardent gaze, "You ore the only woman the only one In all the world to me. There Is not another hulf as beautiful, a tenth ns charming I" She quivered In response to the deep, golden notes of his voice, yet held her self firm with ull the strength of her resolute will. "You speuk of love," sho rejoined. "You suy uothlng of marriage." A Modem Indian Reservation Story hy Robert Ames Bennet "Llow cun I?" he usked In an ag grieved tone. "You know that until we get the mine But that won't be long now. These commissioners are Jumplng-Jncks In the hands of my un cle. They will hustle matters through for us short order. Once I we get the mine, I'll be a free man, and then, sweetheart" But the girt drew back from his pleading arms. "No," she said. "If I must wait, so must you. If you mean what you say, you should be satisfied that I still feel I may have to wait." "You mean what?" he stammered. She clenched her hands convulsively. "Why did you come first? Why could I not havo known hlra first?" "I see," he muttered. "It's that that tlu soldier." "Yes, It Is thnt gentleman 1" she flushed bnck. Again the slender finger nulls cut Into her palms. "Nice fatherly old fogy!" sneered Vnndorvyn. "You're far too much ullve, too much of a real womnn, to mlstuke "You've Been Letting Marie Get Thick With Him." your feeling toward him for love. Love I thnt's tho word, sweetheurt youth and love and happiness I You and, I, sweetheart I" She blushed and trembled. But she had spent all the dnys of his absence In that Intimute comradeship with Hardy. At the moment when Vander vyn thought to tnke her Into his arms, her will rallied, her eyes hardened with resolution. "I hnve said thnt I will wnlt- That Is enough. You also shull wait" Ills eyes narrowed. "Hus It never occurred to you that you muy be a bit too sure of me? The mine mny pinch out after the first few hundred thou sands. I'm In on another deal thut stands to net a cool million. When I get that In bunk, I can have any girl I choose to go after." "If I had ten times a million, and could buy you n character like bis, I would gladly pay It all all 1" The slush of a whip In his fuce would have stung him fur less, lie stnred ut her a long moment, while the full meaning of the words cut through the armor of his self-esteem. Mortification, anger, furious chagrin flumed In his fuce. He raised his hund as If to strike her, and Instead, whirled about and rushed out through the porch. The girl sank on her knees, and pressed her hands to her Hps to stifle tho cry that would huve culled him bnck. When sho looked up, her fuce wus white and drawn with ungulsh. But she hud conquered. "He shull not shull not know my weakness I" sho whispered with fierce determination. "If only It has offend ed him beyond forgiveness I If only he may go awny forever I I might be ablo to forget him In time!" CHAPTER XVIII. Pleasant Little Surprises. Too furious to heed what he wns about Vandervyn atruck off up a rug ged gulley behind tho Dupont house. An hour passed before ho came buck down the mountain-side. He was changing his clothes when Dupont brought him nn Impatient summons from the office: "Hurry up, Mr. Van. They want you. Where you been all this time?" "Went for a stroll." drawled Vnnder vyn. "They can wnlt" His voice be came harsh and Incisive. - "I wont to speuk to you about something. You've been letting Murle get lu thick with him." "Who? You mean Cap?" spurred Dupont "You didn't say you wanted me to keep 'cm from running togeth er." "You should have seen the danger. I take It, she has been alone with him most of the time." "Well, what of It?" muttered Du pont "What of It?" echoed Vandervyn. "Don't you know enough about army officers to realize that he would never murry a quurterbreed?" Dupont's crafty eyes narrowed. "I'm not so all-fired sure of thut. There's lots of 'em bus married even half breed s. I've seen 'em." "Years ago, when the frontier was months away from civilization." "Mcbbe, and mubbe them breed girls wasn't a tenth as good lookers as Mnrle. She's a lady." Vandervyn's Hp curled. "If you must huve tho guff, Juke how about your self? Do you think an officer son-ln-lnw would care to hnve you visiting hlra at an army post?" Dupont scowled. "Well, there ain't been no harm done, and you're back now." "Quite true. But his attentions have put Marie on her high horse. I wish 1 BPH HHMWMaHMBVHHH jiijf you to tuke u stand ugulust him and back me up with her." "You sure cun count me In on that, Mr. Van," eagerly assented Dupont. "All right. I've got him fixed. But I wanted to make sure of your bucking. If he comes to dinner tonight I'll hnve a gay little surprise or two up my sleeve for him." "I been waiting to ask you about the mine. Uow're we going to work the denl?" "We've got to make a show of u real contest It's to be run on the old style rush plan." "Suppose one of them thcro men at the butte has the best horse?" Vandervyn thrust out his Jaw. "Don't fusli yourself. I'm going to hnve thut mine. This Is my Idea of tho way we'll fix It." He leaned over and murmured In Dupont's car. The trader shook his heud. "L'm-in! I'm not saying that mightn't work. Just the same, though, lt'd make you the only one what could do the enter ing. I'd be a sooner." "The mine would be entered by me, but of course we would have the un derstanding that you were to get your half," replied Vandervyn. He stepped briskly to the door. "Come, I gi.ess the bunch bus hud time enough to cool their heels." Still frowning dubiously, Dupont fol lowed him 'over to the office, where Hurdy and the commissioners sat wait ing for them, stiff and constrained. What sort of conspiracy do you "think that Vandervyn and theee crooked commissioners have formed against Captain Hardy? When the Indians find they have been tricked will they shed white blood?
