TP from the ralley' below came
I the throb of war drums, the
faint rattle of shots and the
distant cries of painted horse
men charging. From my hard won
Tantage on the ridge I had an unob
structed view of the encampment.
great circle of tepees and tents three
miles in circumference, cradled in a
sag of the timberless bills.
Fire thousand Sioux were here in
all their martial splendor, painted and
decked and trapped for war, living
anew their tales of might and repeat
ing in mimicry their greatest battles.
Five days the feasting had continued.
Five mornings bad I been awakened
at dawn to see a thousand oc tiered,
feathered horsemen pour out of the
gullies upon the camp, their horses
rearing and plunging, their rifles snap
ping and spitting, while the valley
rocked to their battlecrles and to the
answering clamor of the army which
met them. The odors of a savage
people had begun to pall on me, the
sound of a strange language had begun
to annoy me, and I longed for another
white man or a word in my own
tongue. Next to my tent was another
one which had been erected during my
absence, and through the flap was
thrust the head of my friend, the gov
ernment doctor.
"Gee. Fm glad to see you! I said as
I shook bis hand. "I'm as lonesome
as a deaf mute at a song recital."
"What's the matter? Won't the In
dians talk to you?"
"I guess they would if they could,
but they can't. Out of these 5,000
Sioat I haven't found one who can
understand a word I say, and I've
tried some 4,030 of them."
The old gentleman laughed.
"Your government schools have
gone back in the betting with me, doc
You must keep your graduates under
lock and key."
"They can all speak English if they
want to that is, the younger ones
can. Some few of the old people are
too proud to try, but the others can
talk as well as we can until they for
get." "Do you mean to say these aborigi
nes have been fooling me? I don't be
lieve it," said I. "There Is one that
can't talk English, and I'll make a bet
on it." I Indicated a' passing brave
with an eagle feather headdress
reaching far down his naked legs. lie
was a magnificent animal young,
lithe and as tall and straight as a sap
ling and was decked from head to
feet in his gorgeous panoply. "I've
tried him twice, and he simply doesn't
understand."
My friend called to the warrior:
"Hey. Tom! Come here a minute."
The Indian came, and the doctor con
tinued: "When do you hold the horse races,
Thomas?"
"Tomorrow, 4 o'clock, unless it
rains," said the fellow.
"Are you going to ride?
"No. My race horse is sick."
As tbe ocher daubed figure vanished
late the dusk the old man turned to
me. saying:
"Yale."
-What?"
"Yale; B. A. He's a graduate."
"Impossible!" I declared. "Why, I
could hardly understand him. He
talks like n foreigner or as if he was
Just learning the language."
"Exactly. That halting unfamillari
ty with English marks the death and
decay of his learning. In three years
more he'll be an Indian again through
and through. Oh, the reservation is
full of fellows like that." The doctor
continued, with a sigh: "It's a melan
choly acknowledgment to make, but
our work seems to count for nearly
nothing. It's their blood.
"I've beard a graduating class read
theses from a platform, sing cantatas
In chorus and deliver orations. Then
I Lave seen those same young fellows
three months later squatting in te
pees, grunting in their native tongues
and eating with their fingers.
"Some years ago I felt I was well on
my way to success, for I found a
youth who off ered . every promise of
great manhood. I studied him until I
knew his every trait and his every
strength. He did not seem to have
any weakness. I raised him under my
own supervision Into a tall, straight
fellow as handsome as figured bronze
and with a mind far in advance of his
people and his years. He had the best
blood of the nation in him, being the
son of a war chief, and they called
him Thomas Running Elk- He was
educated at the agency school under
me, and he went through his college
course like a stag at the head of a
great herd, a silent, dignified, shad
owy figure, unapproachable and mys
terious to bis fellow students. In all
things he excelled, but he was best
perhaps In athletics, the credit for
which I also took, feeling a codlike
satisfaction In my work.
"News came to me of his victories
on track and field and gridiron, for
his professors kept me posted, being
likewise interested In my experiment,
but as for him be never wrote. It was
net his nature, nor. did ha communi
cate with bis people.
-It '" my protege's senior year J
that the great Thing "entered hl3IIre,
the thing I had craftily built upon
from the 6tart and had well nigh de
spaired of. The girl entered, but in
stead of Running Elk being drawn to
the woman, as I had planned, the wo
man went to him.
"You've heard of old Ilenry Ilar
man? Yes, the railroad king. It was
his daughter Alicia.
"In order to understand the story
you'll have to know something about
old Ilenry and believe In heredity, as
I do. He Is a self made man. lie
came into the middle west as a poor
boy and by force of his Indomitable
pluck, ability and doggedness became
a captain of Industry. He is the same
now as when he was a section boss, and
his daughter Alicia is another Henry
Harman feminized. Her mother was
a pampered child of Fifth avenue.
born to money and a slave to her own
whims, and Alicia grew up more effec
tively spoiled than her mother, combin
ing the traits of both parents.
"Well, when I got a panicky letter
from one of Running Elk's professors.
coupling her name vaguely with that
of my Indian. I wavered in my deter
mination to see this experiment out.
But the mind of the analyst is unsen
timental, and one who sets out to un
tangle the skein of the gods must pay
the price, so I waited.
"As if fate had really taken a part
in the affair, I found a long distance
all from old Ilenry Harman when 1
returned to my hotel. He had wired
me here nt the agency and, finding 1
was in Washington, had called mo
from New York. He didn't tell me
much over the phone, except that he
must see me at once, and as my work
was finished I took the train in the
morning, going straight to his office.
' 'Doc, I'm In an awful hole,' he de
clared, 'and you're the only man who
can pull me out. It's about Alicia and
that savago of yours.
" 'I know something about it, said
I, 'and I feel rather to blame, for It
was I who sent him to college.'
' I won't be defied by my own flesh
and blood! I won't! I won t! I'm
the master of my own family! Why,
the thing's so absurd it's almost unbe
lievable, and yet it's terrible terrible!
Heavens! What would her mother say
If she were alive?'
"'Have you talked with Alicia?'
" 'Not with her, to her. She's like a
mule. Yes, sir, ju.st like a mule. 1
never saw such a will in a woman.
I I've fought her until I'm as weak
as a cat. I don't know where she got
her temper!' He collapsed feebly, and
had to smile, for there's only one
thing 6trong and stubborn enough to
overcome a liarmans resistance, ana
that is a Harman's desire.
'What does she say?' My inter
est in the affair was increasing.
'Nothing, except to agree that I'm
right In the abstract and then to in
form me -that the abstract problems
go to pieces ence in awhile. She says
this this Galloping Moose, thl3 yelp
ing ghost dancer of yours, is the only
real man she ever met.'
" 'What does he have to say?"
"'Humph!' grunted Harman. 'All
Me does is to listen.
" 'How eld is Alicia?
" 'Nineteen. Oh. I've hurled that at
her. too, but she says she'll wait! You
know she has her own money from
her mother.'
'Does Running Elk come to your
house?'
At this my old friend roared so
fiercely that I hastened to say: 'I'll see
him at once. I have more influence
than anybody else with him.
'I hope you can show him how im
possible, how criminal it is to ruin
my girl's life. Yes. and mine too.
Suppose the yeUw papers got hold of
this thing!' Harman shuddered. 'Doc.
love that girl so well I'd kill her
with my own hands rather than face
her disgrace and see her ridiculed.
'She could marry a duke if one
happened to come along, and I'd buy
her one, too, if she wanted him, but
won't stand for this dirty, low
browed Injun.
'He's not dirty,' I declared, 'and
he's not as low browed as some de
generate foreigner you'd be glad to
pick out for her.
'Well, he's an Injun. retorted Ilar-
man, 'an' It'll come out on him. We've
both seen 'em tried. They all drop
back where they started from. You
know that as well as I do.
'I don't know it,' said I, thinking
of my experiment, which had gone so
badly askew, 'but we've got to put a
stop to this affair in one way or an
other. I'll see the young man right
away.
'Tomorrow Is Thanksgiving,' said
nenry. 'Wait ever and go up with us
and see the Yale-Frinceton football
game. I understand Runninc Elk
plays fullback. We'll pick you up at
your hotel in the morning and drive
up in the car. It's the big game of the
year, and you'll enjoy it. I don't ex
pect to, however.
You have seen similar games, so
there Is no need of my describing this
one, even if I could. As it was my
first experience it Impressed me
greatly. When the teams appeared I
recognized Running Elk at a distance,
as did the hordes of madmen behind
us, and I began to understand what
the old man in the seat next mine was
combating.
"A dancing dervish in front of the
grand stand said something through a
megaphone, then waved a cane, where
upon a tremendous barking 'Rah!
Rah! Rah! broke out, ending with
my Sioux boy's name. They bellowed
and rioted over him until I wished
that the old chief back In Dakota
were there to see his son and witness
the honor he had won among the
whites.
"Quite as Impressive to me as this
demonstration was the deathlike si
lence which settled when the teams
scattered out In readiness. Princeton
kicked off, and the ball sailed high
and far. As it settled in its down
ward flight I saw a lithe, gaunt shad
ow of a man racing toward it and
recognized my boy. I had lost his
position for the moment, but I knew
that hungry, predatory stride which
devoured the fleeting yards as if he
were a thing of the wind. He was off
with the ball In the hollow of his arm,
back into the heart of his enemies,
dodging, darting, leaping, twisting, al
ways advancing. They tore his inter
ference from him, and yet he pene
trated their ranks like an elusive, quiv
ering beam of light which none of
them might lay hands upon. He was
running free when tackled, and his as
sailant launched himself with such
savage violence that the sound of
their Impact came to us distinctly. As
he fell 1 heard Alicia Harman gasp as
if some hand had been removed from
her throat. And then the crowd gave
tongue.
"From that time on to the finish of
the game my eyes seldom left Run
ning Elk and then only to shoot quick
glances at my companions.
"Although the skill of the youn
Sioux overtopped that of all the oth
ers, the opposing team pla3-ed as one
man, as a wonderful, well oiled piece
of machinery, and they scored. All
through the tirst half Yale struggled
to retaliate, hut at the intermission
had not succeeded.
"in the second half of the game the
son of a Fioux chief led the men of
Eli ns IIannib.nl led his Carthaginian
cohorts up to the gates of Rome with
the same Irresistible progress, showing
withal the military genius of a Chief
Joseph. He was indefatigable, mag
nificent, and he tied the score.
"It was a grand exhibition of cool
ness and courage, for he was every
where, always alert and ready, and it
was he who won the game finally.
"There came some sort of fumble,
too fast for the eye to follow, and
then the ball rolled out of the scrim
mage. Before we knew what had hap
pened Running Elk was away with it.
a scattered field ahead of him.
"I dare say you have heard about
that run. for it occurred in the last
three minutes of play and is famous
in football annals to this day. It was
a spectacular thing, apparently de
vised by fate to make more difficult
the labors of old Henry and me.
Every living soul on those high bank
ed bleachers was on his feet at the
finish, a senseless, screaming demon.
saw Alicia -.training forward, her
face like chalk, her very lips blanched.
her whole high strung body a-qulver.
Her eyes were distended, and in them
saw a look which told me that this
was no mere childish whim, that this
was more than the animal call of
youth and sex. Running Elk had be
come a fetich to her.
The father must likewise have rec
ognized this, for as we passed out he
stammered into my ear:
'You see. Doc, the girl's mad. It's
awful awful! I don't know what to
do!'
The press had separated her from
us a bit. so I answered: 'Get her away,
quick, no matter how or where! Use
force if you have to. but get her away
and keep her away. I'll see him tonight.'
'I guess ifs our only chance.' mum
bled the old fellow. 'I'll kidnap he
and take her to Europe. It's awful!'
"I didn't go back to the city with
them, but said goodby at the running
board of their machine, finding next
morning that the father had taken my
advice and that they had sailed unex
pectedly for an indefinite stay abroad.
"I spent that evening with Running
Elk, who seemed glad to see me. He
asked all about his people, told me of
his progress and spoke lightly of his
victory that day. Sound him as I
wotild I could elicit no mention of
Alicia Harman's name. He wasn't
much of a talker anyhow, and at last
I was forced to bring up the subject
myself, whereupon the silence of his
forefathers fell upon him; and all he
did was listen. I told him forcibly
that any thoughts of her were ridicu
lous and lmiossible.
"'Why?' said he.
"I told him a thousand reasons why,
recounted them cruelly, unfeelingly,
but he made no sign to me. As a mat
ter of fact, I don't think he under
stood them any more than he under
stood the affair itself. He appeared to
be blinded and confusedly the splen
dor of it all. She was so glorious, so
different, so mysterious to him that
he had lost all perspective. Recogniz
ing this, I descended to material
things which I knew he could grasp.
" 'I paid for your education,' said I,
'and It is almost over with. In a few
months you'll be turned out to make
your living, and then you'll encounter
this race prejudice I speak of in a
way to affect your stomach and your
body. You're a poor man, Running
Elk, and you've got to earn your way.
Your blood will bar you from a good
many means of doing it, and when
your color begins to affect your earn
ing capacity you'll have all you can
do to take care of yourself alone.
Life isn't played on a gridiron, and
the first thing you've got to do is
make a man of yourself. You've got

6he was a splendid creature, in the
first glory of her womanhood, a per
fectly groomed, pulsating, spoiled god
dess. She greeted me graciously, with
that queenly air of all great ladies.
" 'Where is your father?' I asked as
I laid off her dust coat.
" 'He is In New York,' said she. 'I
am traveling alone.'
" 'Why have you come out here, Ali
cia?' I inquired slowly, being far more
ill at ease than she.
"'Do you need to ask?' she answer
ed. 'I respected father's wishes when
I was in my minority. I traveled and
studied and did all the tiresome things
he wished me to as long as he had thii
right to ask them of me. But when
I became my own mistress I took my
full freedom. He made his life to
suit himself, and I am very sorry 1
cannot build mine to suit him. But
we don't seem to see things the same,
and I dare say he has accepted the in
evitable.' " 'Then you consider this inevita
ble?' "She lifted her dainty brows. 'In
evitable is not a good word. 1 wish it.
I have wished it from the first, I
have never ceased to wish it for an
instant. I feel I must have It. There
fore, to all Intents and purposes, It is
inevitable, I suppose.
" 'You have er been In communi
cation with"
" 'Never. Father did not wish It.'
"Then how did you know he is
here?"
" 'He wrote me when he left Yale j
that he was coming here. I nave
heard nothing since. He is here, is he
not?'
" 'So I believe. I haven't seen him
yet. You know I've been away my
self.
Will you take me to him at once
If you are too busy I will ask'
Very well,' said I. 'We'll drive
out to the encampment.' And I tele
phoned for my buckboard.
"There was little said on our fifteen
mile drive, for I was apprehensive
and she was oddly torn between fear
and exultation. We left the French
maid behind. I don't know that any
woman ever went to her lover under
stranger circumstances or in greater
perturbation than did this girl, behind
whom lay the selfishness of spoiled
womanhood and a generation of unre
straint.
"It was well along in the evening
when we came over the ridge and saw
the encampment below us. You can
imagine the fairy picture it made, with
Its myriad of winking fires, the soft
effulgence of a thousand glowing tents
and the wonderful magic of the night
over all. As we drew nearer the
unusual sounds of a strange merry
making came to us, the soft thudding
of drums, the weird melody of the
dances, the stir and confusion of dense
animal life. In the daylight it would
have been picturesque, but under the
wizard hand of the darkness it be
came ten times more so.
When I finally tied my horses and
led the girl Into the heart of It I think
she became a bit frightened, for these
Indians were the Sioux of a bygone
da3 all barbaric and primitive in hab
it and dress and coloring an atavistic
race which had shaken off some three
score years, or some th'rtyscore fcr all
we knew.
T guided her through the tangle of
canvas habitations, through glarm
fire lit circles and through black
voids, where we stumbled iind felt our
way. rubbing shoulders with tierce
warriors or sullen squaws. At every
group I asked for Running Elk. but he
was one of the shifting thousands, and
nobody knew his whereabouts.
At one time we came upon a sight
I would gladly have spared her, the
spectacle of some wrinkled hags
strangling a dog. The girl at my side
titled a cry at the vision.
What are they doing?' she gasped.
" 'Preparing the feast,' I told her.
"'Do they really'
"'Yes,' said I. 'They eat them.
Come! I tried to force her onward,
but she would not stir until the sacri
fice had been dragged to the flames,
where other carcasses were singeing
among the pots and kettles. From
very side came the smell of cooking
mingled with the odor of burning hair
and flesh. I could hear Miss Harman
panting as we went on.
"After an endless search, during
which we circled half the great hoop,
we came upon the trail of our man
and were directed to a nearby tepee.
I lifted the flap and peered within,
clearing a view for Miss Harman.
"We beheld a circle of half naked
braves in full regalia, squatting
haunch to haunch, listening to a story
teller. In front of them M-as a con
fusion of blackened pail3 and vessels
filled with something steaming, into
which they dipped their naked fingers.
Their faces were streaked and foul
with traces of the dish; the air of the
place was dead and reeking from their
breaths. My eyes were slower than
Alicia's, and so I did not distinguish
our quarry at first, although, a slow
sigh at my ear and a convulsive clutch
at my arm told me that he was there.
And then I, too, saw him. It was he
who was talking and to whom the oth
ers listened, but what a change two
no right to fill your head with Insane vears had wrought! His voice was

about all I could get out of him. His duller than when I knew him: his very

I didn't see him again for two years. the past.
I had barely reached the reservation
when the stage from the railroad
brought two women, two strange wom
en, who came straight to my office
Alicia Harman and her French maid.
"Well, I was fairly knocked end
wise. But she was as well poised and
self contained as on that Thanksgiving
morning In New York when she and
old Henry had picked me up in their

staring at him, the circle broke into
commendatory grunts, and he smiled
In childlike satisfaction at the Im
pression he had made. He leaned for
ward and, scrutinizing the litter of
sooty pots, plunged his hand into the
mess.
"Miss Harman stumbled back into
the crowd a pace or two, and her
automobile-a trlfle more stunnlng and place was taken by a squaw.
Ruiming KTkT I called" over the
heads of those next the eutrance, and,
seeing my face against the night, he
arose and came out, stepping over the
others.
" 'How do you do?' 1 said. 'You
haven't forgotten me, have you?'
"He towered head and shoulders
above me, his feather headdress add
ing to his stature, the beaded patterns
of his war harness bright in the light.
" 'No, no! I will never forget you,
doctor. You you have been sick?
The change in his speech was as
marked as In his body and habits. He
halted over his words and mouthed
them hesitatingly.
" 'Yes, pretty sick. And you what
are you doing?'
" 'I do what the rest do,' said he
'nothing. I have some horses and a
few head of cattle; that is all.
" 'Are you satisfied with that sort of
life?' I demanded sharply, at which
he hesitated an instant before answer
ing. "'Yes, 1 am satisfied. I am an In
dian.' " 'And so your education didn't do
you any good after all?'
"This time he paused a long while
before answering.
" 'I have dreams,' said he, 'many
dreams. But I am a Sioux, and you
told me that dreams are out of place
in an Indian, so I hope to forget them
along with all the rest
"A woman's voice which I did not
recognize called to me sharply, and as
I went Running Elk bowed his head
and slunk back through the tepee
door into the heart of his people into
the past and with him went my ex
periment. Since then I have never
meddled with the gods or given them
cause to laugh at me."
"What became of him?" I inquired.
"That was he I asked about the horse
races, the man whom you couldn't un
derstand, the fellow who wouldn't talk
to youl" the old man answered.
"Good Lord!" said I.
"Why don't you ask about the girl?"
said he. "Haven't you any sympathy
for her?"
"Not much." I replied slowly, "for
her course was obvious. I seem to see
a more pathetic figure by far. It is
that of a youth from whose eyes the
bandages of tradition and training
and heredity had been suddenly whip
peda youth forced out from the
darkness of all the ages into a daz
zling, incomprehensible world. I seem
to see him. awestruck and timid, grop
ing forward till he laid his hand upon
a still more miraculous thing, but a
real and tangible thing which he
could understand and which made a
god of him. Then I see that thing
snatched away and see his only guide
desert him. leaving him utterly naked
and alone in the center of a universe
which had no place for him. Can you
wonder that he went back whence he
had come, where he had fitted in,
where he understood nnd was under
stood ?"
"Then you don't think my expert
ment failed, after all?" inquired the
doctor.
"You haven't proved that It did," I
maintained, "for I would have done
just what Running Elk did if I had
been in his place, and so would you.
The old fellow looked out grimly
Into the night.
"Perhaps," said he.
