Merry laughter and hurried steps assured Mrs. Bearfoot that her adored son and daughter had arrived. : “Hello, mother, a Merry Christmas!” shouted Rose and Wayne. “You’ve heard about Edith, mother, so here she is. I know you’ll love her; Edith does, and I'm about to. Shake hands with mother, Edith,” continued Wayne, excitedly. “Yes, we are so glad to have you, Miss Darrow,” said Mrs. Bearfoot, as she shook hands with Edith.

- “Thank you. I am delighted to be here and to know you. What a thrill I'm having! I'm wild about Oklahoma. Rose and Wayne think they have a joke on me because I thought all those oil wells were windmills.” i

“Yes, mother,”, interrupted Wayne, “Edith said, ‘How all these windmillg remind one of Holland!'” . “Oh, well, I shall be all the wiser when I return to Chicago. I'm anxious to see all the Indians Rose and Wayne have told me about. Are they joking me about that, too? I hope so, for I am mortally afraid of Indians, but of course the government keeps them guarded.” : “Yes, Edith, if 1 may call you Edith?” and she caught the twinkle in her son’s eye. “The Indians need watching; they are cunning. Wayne is a good athlete and will see that you are not scalped, at least.” “Well, I want to climb to the top of one of those ‘windmills.’ All the wells I know anything about go down and I shall still call those tall things windmills. - I want to see a tepee and an Indian chlef, too, hefore I return home.” ;

Dinner was served and Edith noticed the exquisite table service and appointments. The drawing room was spacious and Edith marveled at the magnificent furnishings. The rugs were Oriental; the pictures were done

Rose and her mother were visiting, a 8 only a mother and daughter can, after a four months’ separation. “Oh, mother, it's toe: funny! Edith thinks Oklahoma is wild. Don't you like her? She 18 a dear, and Wayne is crazy about her. I think it is mutual, however. = Her idea of Indians so amuses. us.”

Wayne and Edith were visiting as if they, too, had been separated seyeral months. “Well, Edith, what think you of Ponea now, and of mother? She is some mother, I tell you. You need not fear the Indians. Now that you've met mother and have seen Ponca, aren’t you ready to give me that answer? Tl'll count it a mighty fine Christmas present.” “Oh, Wayne, you must wait until after the community tree. I want to see more of these natives. All good things are worth waiting for, you know, and besides, it isn’t time yet to give our presenis.”

It was Christmas Eve, and Edith and Wayne were talking of the community tree. “My! What a crowd there was, Wayne. The singing was next to divine; but where were the Indians?” ;

“The man who sang that beautiful baritone solo was at one time an Indian chief; the girl, who gave that impressive oration was his granddaughter. The Indians were all around you. HEdith.”

~ -Edith’s eyes opened—“Oh! I thought all Indians wore blankets and guns!” ; “Edith, the Indian of today is cfviilized. A race that has suffered, yes; but a truly American race; a race that was sent from place to place; a race that fought and won. Only a small portion -of their vast inheritance was allotted them, but that portlon has waxed rich in oil.. I am an Indian, Edith, nor would I conceal it. I am bestowing upon you the highest honor man can give to woman. Will you become my wife, Edith—the wife of ,an Indian—a man who would die for his race and you? If you will promise me, this will be the happiest Christmas of my life, e _ . “Yes, Wayne, I promise. I want to be the wife of an Indian—a Bearfoot ‘lndian—with a brave athlete as my protector.” The radio was tuned in and—*A Merry Christmas to all,” wag the greeting. ; (©. 1925, Western Newspaper Union.) ‘Subscriber for the Banner.
