Serious complaints have been made ‘against many superintendents, agents ‘and minor employes on the reserva- tions, involving graft, cruelty or neg- lect, but their cases will be attended to gradually as the new regime gets itself organized.

After a hasty telephone call to the Ress house to see that her patient ‘was being well taken care of by Mrs. Burns from next door, Tony Tarver put in the busiest two hours of her fairly strenuous young life. The words she had uttered over the luncheon table to Crystal. her co-partner in settling the affairs of Callie Barrett and her grandmother, still rang like the clamorous notes of an ecxultant bell in her heart: “I'm free! I'm free!” ‘The ecstatic light in her bluc-dii mond eyes must have thoroughly con- vinced poor Callie that she had not cheated this gorgeous young creature of happiness in “telling on” Dick Tal- bot. And something like peace set- tled on Callie’s pinched little face. bringing a degree of beauty out of the wreckage Dick Talbot had wrought upon it. “You know, Miss Tarver,” she said once, during those two hectic hours of getting ready for the trip to Chi- cago and the haven of her sister's home, “it's funny, but I'm glad now about the baby. I hadn't had time to think eabout—her before you made things come right for me. But now I'm hardly thinking about me at all; just about her, and how glad I'll be when she comes. I'll make it up to her for coming into life through the back door. You just see if I don't!” “You want. a girl?” Tony asked, flinging garments into a yawning trunk with a fine disregard of wrinkles. “Yes, I hope it will be a girl,” Callie replied dreamily. “I don't know ex- actly why I want a girl instead of a boy, but I do. Maybe it's because I ‘want to be able to give her all the things I've missed.” “Uh hunh,” Tony agreed absently. “Everything in now? ... Oh, I was about to forget Dick's picture! Pitch it to me, Callie.” { Callie Barrett shrank, and her face ; Went whiter. “I don’t want it!” | “Better take it along,” Tony ad- lvised cheerfully, reaching for the gorgeous sample of the photograph- er’s art herself. “You won't feel as disgusted and mad at him as you do now, when the baby comes. I wouldn’t |be surprised if you get quite senti- imental about him ag when you ;begin thinking of him as the baby's father. And besides, you'll want to | show it to her some “I shan't tell her!” Callie denied vehemently. “I'll make up some story ebout being left a widow before she was born—" , I think I'd tell her, when she’s oid enough to understa Tony in- terrupted cheerfully. “Nothing like jplaying square with your kids, I think.” A dull red splotched Callie Barrett's white face. “All right,” she choked. “Put it in. If anything could ever make her understand, that picture will. I did love him an awful lot, Miss. Tarver. It—it was like a fever burn- jing me up—" “I know,” Tony agreed softly. | At three o'clock the two girls left jthe httle Viaduct Lane house in Tony's car, bound for the station. Old Mrs. Barrett, sinfully proud of the {fact that she now had a “practical nurse” to wait on her until her ad- mission into an Old Ladies’ Home could be arranged, waved good-bye.
