II told himself that no one, least of all probably Lydla" herself, realised the cynical application of the class motto to Lake City conditions. The diplomas were distributed.

White goods Is always cheap and Til get It right away so I can put lots of hard work on It : "What's your speech going to be about T" asked Amos, as they turned la the gate. "I haven't had time to think about that I'll plan it all out while I'm tewing." - Billy did ' not congratulate Lydla. Be passed her Just as he had during all the months, with a curt little "Hello." To tell the truth, Lydla was heartily ashamed of herself for hei shabby reception of Billy's plea. She knew she had been unkind and she missed the desultory companionship she had had with Billy. - The preparation of the dress went on amazingly well. The speechmak lng waa less simple. . As was custom ary, Lydla chose the class motto "Doclt Amor Patriae," for her sub Ject and sweated Inordinately to find something to say. She complained bitterly because during the four years" at high school nothing at all wai taught about love of country, or patriotism,' pa-triotism,' or anything that would make the motto suggestive, Amos answered her plaint lndlg nantly. "Well, for heaven's sake! And you a descendant of the Purl tana I Lord, what's beoome of the old stock I No, I won't help you at nil. Think It out for yourself." And think It out Lydla did, sitting on the front steps with her sewing and listening to the sighing of the pine by the gate. There was but one flaw In Lydla's happiness. Nobody asked her tc , attend at-tend the senior ball that was to take place on graduation night. To be sure. It was not an . invitation, affair. The class was supposed to attend In a body, but there was, nevertheless, the usual two-lng and only a very few of tfie glrla who hud no Invitation from boys would go. Lydta, herself, would have cut off her hand rntlu-r than appear at her own senior bull without a young man. Mortified and unhappy, she avoided "Per ina tea" during" the last; Veek of ; school, fearing the Inevitable ques- j tlon, "Who is going to take you, Lyd?" The tenth dawned a lovely June day.- The exercises began at ten and j by . half-past eight Lydla was buttoned but-toned Into her pretty little ' organdie." Lizzie was puffing In her black alpaca and Amos was standing about in his black Sunday suit which dated back to his early married daye. By nine-thirty nine-thirty they bad reached the Methodist church and Amos ad Lizzie were established es-tablished In the middle of the front row of the balcony, while Lydla was shivering; with fright in the choir-room, choir-room, where the class - waa gathered. Somebody began to play the organ and somebody else, who looked like Mlsa Towne, shoved Lydla toward the door and she led the long tine of her mates Into the front pews. A college professor spoke at length, then Kent appeared on the platform. Good old Kent even if he wouldn't take Lydla to parties I Kent, with his black, eyes and hair, his ruddy skin and broad shoulders, was good to look on and was giving his speech easily and well, but Lydla was seeing him in a red bathing suit as he hung Florence Flor-ence Dombey from a yard arm of the willow. What a dear he had been ! Now- It all war-different They wj're grown up. This day marked their growing up and Kent didn't wiint to take her to parties. Kent bowed and took his seat. The quartette sang and somebody prodded Lydla amartly in the back. She made her way up to the platform and began be-gan to speak automatically. Amos with tight clenched fists and Lizzie with her lips a thin seam of nervous compression, were swelled with vanity and torn with fear ler aha forget-her lines. ' But John Levlne-wllO-had" dashed In late and stood unnoticed to vth- frtowl undeF4he..allery,..U8ten,cd . intently,. while he yearned over Lydla'a immature imma-ture beauty like mother. "And so," she ended, "when we any tfood-by, you all must remember tlmi we go out Into the world resolved to live un-to our motto. That-we believe -"Iff r Tt" : ' 8he and Adam Spent the Afternoon on tho Lake Shore. and Adam spent the afternoon on the lake shore, where the delicate splendor splen-dor and perfume of June endeavored In vain to prove to Lydla that the senior ball was of no consequence. - After the supper dishes were washed she sat on the steps in the dusk with Adam's head In her lap when a car riage rolled up to the gate. , A man came swiftly up the path. Lydla with a gasp recognized Billy Norton. Billy, wearing a dress suit and carrying a bouquet of flowers I "Good evening, Lydla," he suid calmly.

Where was the country boy she had snubbed? "Here are some flowers 1 hope youll wear,", Billy went on, formally. "Would you mind hurrying? It's pretty pret-ty late.". "Oh.

For three hours, Lydla spun through a golden haae of melody and rhythm. Into three hours she crammed all the Joy. all the thrill, that she had dreamed of through her lonely girlhood. At half after eleven she was - waltzing with Billy. "We must leave now, Lydla, be itid.

The Indian Celebration It was three or four days later that news oh me that , the Levlne bill Imd passed. It wna a compromise bill as John had Intimated It would beMo the half breeds In the woods. Only the mixed "Moods could sell their lands. Nevertheless there was great rejoicing ,1a Lake City.; Plane were begun Immediately Im-mediately for a Fourth of. July celebration cele-bration upon the reservation. Kent to his .lasting regret missed the celebration. celebra-tion. Immediately after school "cloaed he had K"iie Into Levlne's office and had been sent to Inspect Levlne's holdings hold-ings In the northern part of the state. Levlne returned the last week In June and took charge of the preparations. prepara-tions. Amos, who never had been on the reservation, planned to go and! Levlne rented an automobile and in-vlted in-vlted I.ydia. Amos, Billy Norton and Lizzie to accompany him. As they neared the reservation John JiAhw. 1 1 ...mi 1 . - . On all sides but ore were pine woods. Tho one side was bordered by a little lake, motionless under the July sui. On the edge of the pines were set dozens of tents and birch-bark wlck-l-uiis. In" the center of the meadow was a huge flagpole from which drooped the Stars and 8 tripes. . -'Already the meadow waa liberally dotted with sightseers of whom there seemed to be as many Indians as whites . " "Isn't it treat !" cried Lydla. "What do we d first?" ;- --' - - .'. :.. ."Well." said Levlne, "Tm free until three .o'clock, when the speeches be- gin. There'll be all sorts of Indian games going- until then." ; Thi Is Just a celebration and nothing noth-ing else, John, isn't ltf asked Amos. "That's all," replied Levlne. -ve thought it was a good way to jolly the Indians. At the same time It fave folks a reason for coming up here and seeing what we were, fighting for and, last and not least, It waa the Indian agent's chance to come gracefully over on our side . He's done more of the actual work of getting the celebration cele-bration trnlni; than I have." .. -..."J .wonder why?", asked Billy, suddenly. "All there Is left for him to do," said Levlne. "Lydla. before the sneeche benln, go up la the pines and rhnnw vtmr tract I'll buy it for you." ."The whole thing's wrong." muttered mut-tered BI"y. Levlne nave him a quick look, then smiled a little cynically. "You'd bet ter go along , with Lydla and take a look at the pines," he suggested. "I'd like to look at the plnea again... said Lydla. "Come along, Billy." :: They entered the woods In silence and followed a sun-flecked aisle until rha nmnd of the celebration was muffled. , Billy leaned against one of the great tree trunks and stared thoughtfully ulmut him. rm all mixed up, Lydla," be said.

And yet Lyd, I saw a tract of pine up in the middle of the reservation that I'd sell my soul to own l" . There was understanding in Lydla' Ly-dla' eyes. "Oh, the pines are wonderful." won-derful." she exclaimed. "If one could only keep them forever -And I sup-pose sup-pose that's the way the Indians feel ulmut them, too!" "It's-all wrong,'! : muttered: 'Billy "It's all wrong, and yet" more firmly, "the reservation is doomed and if we don't take some, of it Lydla, well not he helping the Indians but Just being foolish." ' "To have it and hold It for your children's children," exclaimed Ly dia, passionately. Tou and yours to live on it forever. And yet I'd see a dead Indian baby and starving squaws behind every tree. I know I would.' - "I tell you what rm going to do, said Billy, doggedly. Tin going to get bold of that tract I'm not going to deceive myself that It's all any thing but a rotten thieving game we whites are playing, but I'm going to It anyhow, m pay for It somehow, some-how, and I'll go on doing what I can to see that the Indians get what's left of a decent deal." The two listened to the wind in the plnea, then Lydla said. "We must get back for the speeches."
