CHAPTER XIV—Continued
It was Lydia's fir acknowledgment
of her responsibility to America and
it left her a little breathless and trem-
Wing She turned back to the road
and made her way swiftly to the Nor-
ton place
"Billy" she said panting her cheeks
bright and her yellow hair blowing
'Pm against the Indian grafting"
Billy put out his hand solemnly
and the two shook hands For all
silly was four years older than Lydia
they both were very very' young So
young that they believed that they
could fight single-handed the whole
world of intrigue and greed in which
their little community was set And
yet futile as they may seem it is on
young decisions such as these that the
race creeps upward!
"What are you going to do Billy?"
asked Lydia
"I'm going to get a government in-
vestigation started somehow" he re-
plied "It'll take timeo but get it
It'll be lovely muckraking Lyd!"
' "I hate to think of it" she said on
steadily "Lizzie is miserable today
Will you tell your mother Billy and
ask her to come over to see her this
evening? I musn't stop any longer
slow"
Poor old Lizzie was miserable In-
deed For years she had struggled
against rheumatism but now it had
bound her hand and foot Ma Norton
came over in the evening Lizzie was
In bed shivering and flushed and moan-
ing with pain
"Ma waited till Lizzie slept then
she' told Lydia and Amos that Doctor
Fulton had better be called and Amos
with a worried air started for town at
once
Doctor Fulton shook his head and
sighed
"She's in for a run of rheumatic
fever Get some extra hot water bot-
tles and make up your mind for a
long siege Lydia"
And it was a long siege Six weeks
of agony for Lizzie of nursing and
!housework and worrying for Lydia Ma
Norton and the neighbors gave what
time they could but the brunt of
course fell on Lydia
Billy called every evening on his
way home to supper John Levine
at up two or three nights a week
Kent came out once a week with a
cheery word and a basket of fruit
And at frequent intervals the Mar-
shall stArey stopped at the gate and
Elviry or Dave appeared with some of
Elviry's delicious cookery for Lydia
and Amos
During all this time she said noth-
ing to Billy about his muckraking
campaign He finished his law course
In June and entered ex-Senator Al-
vord's office as he had planned There
- was another election in the till and
John Levine was returned to congress
this time almost without a struggle
Like a bomb late in December fell
the news that the Indian commission-
er had been called before a senate
committee to answer questions re-
garding the relations of Lake City to
the reservation while following close
on the heels of this announcement
tame word that a congressional coin-
mission of three' had been appointed
to sit at Lake City to investigate In-
dian matters
"Billy how did -You do it?" asked
Lydia in consternation lie had over-
taken her one bitter cold January
afternoon on her way home from col-
lege "I didn't do much" said Billy "I
just got affidavits dozens of them
showing frauds and gave them to
Senator Alvord lie has a lot of in-
fluence among the senators and is a
personal friend of the President"
- Lydia's lips were set tightly as she
plodded along the snowy road
"Tilly" she said finally "are you
cloint-this to get even with Dave Mar-
shall?" "I'm doing it because I'm ashamed
of what New Englanders have done
with their heritage And I'm doing
It for you To make a name for you
You are going to marry me some day
Lydia"
"I'm not" said Lydia flatly
Billy laughed "You can't help
yourself honey It's fate for both of
us Come along home I you're shiv-
ering" "When you talk that way I bete
you i" exclaimed Lydia but Billy only
laughed again
The commissioners sat for months
arid in that time they exposed to the
burning sun of publicity the muck of
thievery and dishonor on which Lake
City's placid beauty 'was built
illarringe after marriage of squaws
with Lake City citizens was unearthed
Lost of these same citizens also hav-
ing a white family Hundreds of
tracts of lands that had been ob-
tained by Stealing or' by fraud' from
fell bloods were liateti Bags of
candy bits of Jewelry bolts of cotton
had bTn exchanged for pine ivorth

It was a nerve-racking period for
Lake City Whether purposely or not
the net did not begin to close round
John Levine till toward the end of
the hearing Nor did Levine come
home until late in the summer when
the commission had been eitting for
some months
In spite of a sense of apprehension
that would not lift the year was a
happy one for Lydia In the first
place she went to three college danc-
ing parties during the year In the
second place Kent asked her to go
with him to the last party and to
Lydia's mind a notable conversation
took place at that time
"Thanks Kent" said Lydia care-
lessly "but I'm going with Billy"
"Billy I Always Billy!" snorted
Kent "Why you and I were friends
before we ever beard of Billy!"
"Yes" returned Lydia calmly
"You've always liked me as I have you
But you've always been ashamed of
my clothes I don't blame you 'a bit
but you can imagine how I feel about
Billy who's taken me clothes or to
clothes"
It was Kent's turn to flush
"Hang it Lyd I've been an infernal
'ad that's all!"
"And" Lydia went on mercilessly
"rve got nothing to wear now but the
same old graduating dress I suppose
you were hoping for better things?"
"Stop it!" Kent shouted "I de-
serve it but I'm not going to take it
rm asking you for just one reason
and that is I've waked up to the fact
that you're the finest girl in the world
No one can hold a candle to you"
There was a sudden lilt in Lydia's
voice that did not escape Kent as she
answered' laughingly "Well if you
feel the same after seeing Margery
this summer I'll be glad to go to one
of the hops next fall with you and
thank you deeply Mr Moulton"
"All right" said Kent soberly
"The first hop next fall is mine and
as many more as I can get"
It was late in the spring and after
the conversation with Kent that it
began to be rumored about town that
x-Senator Alvord's office was at the
bottom of the Indian investigation
Kent accused Billy of this openly one
Sunday afternoon at Lydia's
"I'm willing to take the blame if
necessary" said Billy
' "Nice thing to do to your friends
and neighbors Bill" Kent went on
"What the deuce did you do it for?"
Billy shrugged his shoulders and
iald nothing Kent appealed to Lydia
"Would you have gone to parties with
him if you'd known what he was do-
ing to his town Lyd?"
-"Kent I knew it" said Lydia after
pause
"You knew It! You let a lot of
Ackly sentimentality ruin Lake City
in the eyes of the world? Not only
that Think what's coming to John
Levine! Think what's coming to me
though I've done little enough!"
"Then I'm glad It came to stop you
while you'd still done little!" cried
Lydia "Oh there's Margery! Isn't
she lovely l"
It was Margery Just home from
boarding school where she gaily an-
nounted as she shook hands she had
been "finally finished"
"Margery" cried Lydia "you're so
beautiful that you're simply above
envy What a duck of a dress!"
"Isn't it!" agreed Margery What
were you all discussing so solemnly
when J interrupted?"
"Indian graft!" said Billy lacon-
ically "Isn't it awful! Oh Billy by the
way daddy says he thinks Senator Al-
vord started the whole thing Did her"
"Yes and I helped" replied Billy
shortly
"Well I think you ought to be
ashamed of yourself" cried Margery
airily "Don't you Lydia?"
"No I don't I'm prqud of him
though I'm scared to 'death" said
Lydia
"Weil I Just tell you BIBS Norton"
there was a sudden shrill note in Mar-
gery's voice "if anything really hor-
rid is unearthed about daddy I'll
never speak to you again Would
you Kota?"
"I don't intend to anyhow" replied
Kent coolly "Yet me take you home
In my toot-toot"
"But I Just got here" protested
Margery
"It's now or never" said Kent ris-
ing "I've got to run along"
"Oh If It's that serious!" Margery
took Kent's aria "By-by Lydia!
Come over and see my new dresses"
After they were gone Billy sat up
aud looked at Lydia "Lydia" he
said "I'm going to quit You know
I've worked with Charlie Jackson
right along"
"Quit? Put Billy why I—I didn't
think you minded Kent and Margery
hat nliwil!"
"I don't mind them at all But Ly
1
dia I found yesterday my father got
one hundred and twenty acres from
a ten-year-old full-blood boy for five
dollars and a bicycle Last week
Charlie unearthed a full-blood squaw
from whom your father had gotten
two hundred and forty acres for an
old sewing machine and twenty-five
dollars I've done so much for the In-
dians and Charlie is so fond of you
that he'll shut these Indians up but I
can't go on after that of course"
"Yes you'll go on Billy" Lydia's
voice was very low "After I faced
what would come to John Levine
through this I can face anything"
Billy gave a little groan and bowed
his head on Lydia's knee Suddenly
she felt years older than Billy She
smoothed his tumbled blond hair
"I told you all the battles of the
world were fought for a woman" he
said "Dear I'll go on though it'll
break mother's heart"
"Lt won't break her heart" said
Lydia "Women's hearts don't break
over that sort of thing"

CHAPTER XV
Duct Amor Patriae
It was the last week In August when
John Levine was summoned before
the commission Lydia and Amos
were summoned with him
There were two long tables at one
end of the roomobehind one of which
sat the three commissioners At the
other table were the official stenog-
raphers and Charlie Jackson Before
the tables were chairs and here were
John Levine and Kent Pa Norton
and Billy old Susie and a younger
squaw with several bucks
Lydia gave a sigh of relief when
Levine caught her eye across the
room and smiled at her She looked
at the commissioners curiously She
knew them fairly well from the many
THE PERKINS'JOURNAI
"AB Right" Said Kent Soberly
newspaper pictures she had seen of
them The fat gentleman with pene-
trating blue eyes and a clean-shaven
face was Senator Smith of Texas
The roly-poly man with black eyes
and a grizzled beard was Senator El-
way of Maine and the tall smooth-
shaven man with red hair was Sen-
ator James of New York
"Mr Levine" said Senator Smith
"we have found that you had carried
on so many—er—transactions that we
finally decided to choose three or four
sample cases and let our case stand
on those Jackson call Crippled
Bear"
Charlie spoke quickly to one of the
bucks who rose and took the empty
chair by Charde
Ile began to talk at once Charlie
Interpreting slowly and carefully
"I am a mixed blood Many moons
ago the man Levine found me drunk
in the snow He picked me up and
kept me In his house over night
When I was sober he fed me Then
he made this plan I was to gather
half a dozen half-breeds together he
could trust In the spring he would
come up to the reservation and talk
to us I did this and he came We
were very hungry when he met us in
the woods and he gave us food and
money Then he told us he was going
to get the big fathers at Washington
to let us sell our pines so we could
always have money and food Never
be hungry any more—never
"Then he said while he was getting
that done he would pay us a little
every month to go through the woods
and chop down the best trees The
Big Father will let whites get 'dead
and down' timber out of Indian 'woods
he said But not let whites cut any
So we say yes and though full bloods
are very mad when we cut down big
trees we do it For many ntoons we
do It and in winter white men haul
It to sawmills
"Every little while Levine comes
up there and we have a: council and
tell him everything that happens All
about things Marshall and other
whites do And he pays us always
Then he tells us that the Big Father
will let mixed bloods sell their pine
lands but not full bloods So then we
agree when he wants any full blood
land to swear that any full blood Is
mixed And we ha14e done this now
perhaps twenty times"
The mixed blood and Charlie paused
Mr Smith took up a paper "I have
here Mr Levine a statement of your
dealings with the Lake City Lumber
company You have had sawed by
them during the past six or eight
years millions of feet of pine lumber
I I find that you are holding Indian
lands in the name of Lydia Dudley
and her father Amos Dudley these
lands legally belonging to full bloods
Amos Dudley is also the purchaser of
land from full bloods as is William
Norton Sr through you"
Levine rose quickly "Gentlemen"
be exclaimed "surely you can find
enough counts against me without in-
cluding Miss Dudley who has never
heard of the matter you mention"
Commissioner James spoke for the
first time "Suppose we go on with
the witnesses before we open any dis-
cussión with Mr Levine Jackson
what have these squaws to tell?"
Charlie called old Susie And old
Susie told of the death of her daugh-
ter from starvation and cold this
same daughter having sold her pines
to Levine for a five-dollar bill and a
dollar watch She held out the watch
toward Levine in one trembling old
hand
"I find this In dress when she dead
She strong It take her many days to
die I old I pray Great Spirit take
me NI I starve! I freeze! I no
can die She young She have little
baby She die"
Suddenly she flung the watch at
Levine's feet and sank trembling into
her chair
There was silence for a moment In
at the open window came the rumble
of a street car Levine cleared his
throat
"All this Is dramatic of course but
doesn't make me the murderer of the
squaw"
"No! but you killed my father!"
shouted Charlie Jackson And rising
he hurled forth the stay he had told
Lydia years before Lydia sat with
her hands clasped tightly in her lap
her eyes fastened in horror on
Charlie's face It seemed to Lydia
that the noose was fastened closer
round John's neck with every word
that was uttered
Suddenly she sprang to her feet
"Stop Charlie! Stop!" she screamed
"You shan't say any more!"
Senator Elway rapped on the table
"You're but of order Miss Dudley" he
exclaimed sharply
Lydia had forgotten to be embar-
rassed "I can't help it if I am" she
insisted "I won't have Charlie Jack-
son picturing Mr Levine as a fiend
while I have a tongue to speak with
Mr Levine's not a murderer He
couldn't be He's been as much to
me as my own father ever since my
mother died when I was a little girl
ile's understood me as only my own
mother could
"You think he could murder when
he could hold a little girl on his
knees and comfort her for the death
of her little sister when he taught her
how to find God when—oh I know
he's robbed the Indians—so has my
own father it seems and so has Pa
Norton and so has Kent and all of
them are dear people They've all
been wrong But think of the tempta-
tion Mr Counnissionerl Supposing
you were poor and the wonderful
pines lay up there so easy to take"
"You're covering a good deal of
ground and getting away from the
specific case Miss Dudley" said
Smith "Of course what you say
doesn't exonerate Mr Levine What
you say of his character is interest-
ing but there reaming the fact that
he has been proceeding fraudulently
for years in his relations to the In-
Wan lands You yourself don't pre-
tend to justify your acts do you Mr
Levine?"
Lydia sat down and Levine slowly
rose and looked thoughtfully out of
the window "The legality or illegality
of the matter has nothing to do with
the broader ethics of the case though
I think you will find gentlemen that
lay acts are protected by law" he
said "The virgin land lies there in-
habited by a degenerate race whose
one hope of salvation lay in amalga-
mation with the white race An ig-
norant government when land was
plenty and the tribe was larger placed
certain restrictions on the reserva-
tion When land became scarce and
the tribe dwindled to a handful those

A reporter on the Los Angeles
Times was sent out on rp very impor-
tant mission to find out where An-
gelenos make most of their foolish
remarks Was it at the zoo? at the
railroad stations? at Information
desks? Not at all Most of the
senseless remarks made in Los An-
geles he found were made in the big
public markets
"Sometimes I think half the funny
slips in the city are made right in
front of this stall here" volunteered
one vender "Only the other day a
young woman came up and asked for
a pound of bacon already fried Of
course what she wanted was bacon
already sliced"
Another vender spoke up: "Once a

restrictions became wrong It warn
Inevitable that the whites should
override them Knowing that the
ethics of my acts and those of other
people would be questioned I went to
congress to get these restrictions re-
moved If another two years could
have elapsed before these investiga-
tions had been begun the fair name
of Lake City never would have been
smirched Levine's hand on the back
of hie chair tightened as he looked
directly at Billy Norton
Once more Lydia came to her feet
"Oh Mr Lev4ne" she exclaimed
"don't put all the blame on Billy!
Really it's my fault Ile wouldn't
have done it if I hadn't agreed that It
was right Oh it is all my fault"
she repeated brokenly "all the trouble
that's come to Lake City"
Billy Norton jumped up "That's
blamed nonsense!" he began when
Smith interrupted him Impatiently
"Be seated Norton" Then gently
to Lydia "My dear you mean that
knowing what an investigation would
mean to the people you love you
backed young Norton In Instigating
one"
"Yes sir" faltered Lydia
"Can you tell us why?" asked El-
way still more gently
Lydia twisted her hands uncom-
fortably and looked at Billy
"Go ahead Lyd" he said reas-
suringly "Because it was right" she said fin-
ally "Because—Ducit Amor Patriae
—you know because no matter
whether the Indians were good or bad
we had made promises to them and
they depended on us" She paused
struggling for words
"I did it because I felt responsible
to the country like my ancestors did
in the Civil war and in the Revolu-
tion to—to take care of America to
keep it clean no matter how it hurt
I—I couldn't be led by love of coun-
try and s4 my people doing some-
thing contemptible something that
the world would remember against us
forever and not try to stop it no mat-
ter how it hurt"
Trembling so that the ribbon at her
throat quivered she looked at the
three commissioners and sat down
"I suggest that we adjourn for
lunch" said Smith 'Miss Dudley
you need not return"
While her father pat to speak to
Kent and Levine LydI7made her es-
cape She expected John Levine to come
home with her father to supper and
for the first time in her life she did
not want to meet her best loved
friend But she might have spared
herself this anxiety for Amos came
home alone Levine was busy he
said
To Lydia's pain and disappointment
Levine did not come to the cottage
before he returned to Washingtott
which he did the week following the
hearing And then all thought of bee
status with him was swallowed up in
astonishment over the revelations that
came out early in September when
Dave Marshall and the Indian agent
were called before the commission
Dave Marshall was the owner of the
Last Chance! The Last Chance where
"hussies" lay in wait like vultures for
the Indian youths took their govern-
ment allowances took their ancient
Indian decency and cast them forth
to pollute their tribe with drink and
diseasei The Last Chance!' The
headquarters for the illegal selling of
whisky to Indians Where Indians
were taught to evade the law to carry
whisky into the reservation and where
in turn the bounty for their arrest was
pledged to Marshall The Last
Chance the main source of Dave Mar-
shall's wealth!
Even Lake City was horrified by
these revelations People began to
remove their money front his bank and
for a time a run was threatened then
Dave resigned as president and the
run was stayed The drug store
owned by Dave was boycotted The
women of the town began to cut Mar
gery and Elviry
