The exodus was accomplished In a businesslike manner. man-ner. There were some disturbances on the reservation, but for the most part, the Indians were dazed and on-protesting. on-protesting. Before the concentration began, the" precaution was taken of sending Charlie Jackson .under guard to the new reservation In the Southwest South-west Lydla had never seen him after ber day at the hearing. She always Was to carry in her memory, his handsome hand-some bronze face, too early marked with .lines of despair, as she saw It while she uttered her protest to the commissioners. And it was a baunt-Ingly baunt-Ingly sad memory to carry. In the evening Lydia sat with ber Emerson open before her, but with ber unseeing eyes fastened on the open door. It was a little after nine when the chug-chug of Kent's car topped at the gate and In a moment Kent, white faced, appeared In the door. "John Levlne's been shot He wants Lydia 1" . ..

Kent packed them Into the little car and started back toward town at break-neck speed. "How bad off" is he?" asked Amos. " "Can't" live," answered Kent . "That d-d sister of Charlie Jackson and old Susie both took a shot at him, Just as the taut carload was finished. The police and the militia got 'em right oft Shot 'em all to pieces." "Where Is John?" asked Amos. "In Doc Fulton's offlet;. They caa't move him." No one spoke again. Kent brought the automobile up with a bang before the doctor's bouse and Lydla. followed fol-lowed closely by the two men. ran up to the door, through the outer office to the Inner, where a nurse and Doc Fulton stood beside a cot .

John Levlue had finished the Great Search. Curiously enough, nothing could have done so much toward reinstating reinstat-ing Lnke City In the good opinion of the country at large as did Levlne's tmglc death. Therewas felt to be a divine justice lu the manner of his taking off that partook largely of the nnture of a:onnit. He had fed the umus. ror mis tne Indluns had killed him. That a white life extinguished for a tribe destroyed might not be full compensate com-pensate In -the eyes of that Larger Justice which, after all. rules the universe, uni-verse, did not serlouHly Influence the reaction of public opinion toward thlnklug better of Lake City. And John Levlne, known In life as an Indian In-dian graft politician, became In his death a statesman of far vision. After her flrst wild grief had expended ex-pended itself, Lydla found that after all Levlne's tragic death had not surprised sur-prised ber. She realized that ever since she had known Charlie Jackson, she had been vaguely haunted by a fear of Just such an ending. ' Billy, trundling up the dusty road from the law oQlce on his bicycle, late each afternoon, would stop for a moment mo-ment or two. "The drought Is something frightful," fright-ful," he said to Lydia one afternoon In late August, wiping the sweat and dust from his face. "Are you feeling any more cheerful, Lyd?' "I shall always havo a gap in my life, where he went out," she said, slowly. "I shall never get over missing miss-ing him. Qh, he was so dear to met And yet Billy, It Isn't at all like Patience's Pa-tience's death. He didn't depend on me and I didn't live with him so that everything doesn't cry his absence te me. And I've got more resources than I had then" She laid her hand on the open book In her lap. "What're you reading?" asked Billy. "Emerson Compensation. Listen. Billy 'We ' cannot part with our friends. We cannot let our angels go. We do not see that they only go out that archangel may come In.' "And so," Lydla's voice trembled, but she went on bravely, "I'm trying to understand trying to see bow I can make something good come out of bis poor lost life. Somehow I feel as If that were my job. And and the Idea helps me. Oh, my dear John Levlne Le-vlne 1" The two young people sat staring at the distant hills. "Don't you see," Lydla burst out "that I've got to 4o something, be something, to make all the loss and trouble of my life worth while?" . ;."I understand," answered Billy. . " "Early in September John Levlne's will was found. He had left his entire en-tire property, unconditionally, to Lydla. Ly-dla. Amos, at first was frantic with delight de-light Lydia was appalled. "All my life," she half sobbed to her father, "I've been fighting to get away from Indian lands. And Mr. Levlne knew how I felt. Oh, how could he do this to me I "Don't . talk, like a fool, Lydia I" roared Amos. "But don't you see how I feel?" cried Lydia. "Don't you see that all John Levlne's lands up there are haunted by death his own and ail the starved Indians? Oh, why did he do this to me I I won't have It I tell youf I'd rather be poverty stricken all my life." "Well, don't worry too much about that." said Kent "Dave Marshall thinks there won't be anything left after the estate Is settled, hut the Indian lands." "Oh, Kent, you aren't having anything any-thing to do with Dave Marshall; are you?" exclaimed Lydla. Kent flushed a little. "Well, his advice ad-vice enn't hurt me. If it's had, I don't have to take it, You ought to go out and see his farm. Lydia. They're get-Ung get-Ung the heuse all fitted with modern conveniences. Dave's going to make a model stock farm." "Bought with money earned by the Last Chancel" said Lydla. Kent looked at her quizzically. A New England conscience oust be something awful to own, eh, Lydr fielded.
