i: A Tale of the; ;i Vanishing ; People «► . « ’’ By REX BEACH ’ <• .. ‘J Copyright by Rex Beach ’ <. <i "“A dancing dervish in front of the grand stand said something through a megaphone, then waved a cane, whereupon 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 silence which settled when the teams scattered out in readiness. Princeton kicked off. and the ball sailed high and far. As it settled in its downward flight 1 saw a lithe, gaunt shadow of a man racing toward it and recognized my boy. I had lost his position for the moment, but 1 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 bis enemies, dodging, darting, leaping, twisting, always advancing. They tore his interference from him, and yet he penetrated their ranks like an elusive, quivering beam of light which none ©f them might lay hands upon. He was running free when tackled, and his assailant launched himself with such savage violence that the sound of their Impact came to us distinctly. As he fell I 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 Running Elk and then only to shoot quick glances at my companions. “Although the skill of the young Sioux overtopped that of all the others, the opposing team played as one man, as a wonderful, well oiled piece of machinery, and they scored. All through the first half Yale struggled to retaliate, but at the intermission had not succeeded. “In the second half of the game the son of a Sioux chief led the men of Eli as Hannibal 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, magnificent. and he tied the score. “It was a grand exhibition of coolness and courage, for he was everywhere, 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 scrimmage. Before we knew what had happened 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 devised by fate to make more difficult the labors of old Henry and me. Every living soul on those high banked bleachers was on his feet at the finish, a senseless, screaming demon. I saw Alicia straining forward, her face like chalk, her very lips blanched, her whole high strung body a-quiver. Her eyes were distended, and in them I 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 become a fetich to her. “The father must likewise have recognized 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 it’s our only chance,’ mumbled the old fellow. ‘l’ll kidnap her 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 unexpectedly 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 1 would, 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 ridiculous and impossible. “‘Why?’ said he. “I told him a thousand reasons why, recounted them cruelly, unfeelingly, but he made no sign to me. As a matter of fact, I don’t think he understood them any more than he understood the affair itself. He appeared to be blinded and confused by the splendor of it all. She was so glorious, so different, so mysterious to him that he had lost all perspective. Recognizing 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 earning capacity you’ll have all you can 4© to take care of yourself alone.

; the first thing you’re got to do is i make a man of yourself. You’ve got I no right to fill your head with insane ■ fancies of this sort’ I “ ‘Yes, sir,’ said he. And that was ■ about all I could get out of him. His J reticence was very annoying. 1 “I didn’t see him again for two years. I 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 ’(veil poised and p self contained as on that Thanksgiving i morning in New York when she and *■, old Henry had picked me up in their , automobile—a trifle more stunning and a bit more determined perhaps. Oh, . J she was a splendid creature, in the i first glory of her womanhood, a peri 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 I laid off her dust coat , “‘He is in New York,’ said she. ‘I am traveling alone.’ “ ‘Why have you come out here, Alicia?’ I inquired slowly, being far more ill at ease than she. “‘Do you need to ask?’ she answered. ‘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 the 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 1 dare say he has accepted the inevitable.’ “ ‘Then yod consider this inevitable?’ “She lifted her dainty brows. Tn1 evitable is not a good word. I wish it I have wished it from the first. 1 have never ceased to wish it for an instant. 1 feel I must have it. Therefore, to all intents and purposes, it is inevitable, I suppose.’ “ ‘You have—er—been in communication with”— “ ‘Never. Father did not wish it’ “ ’Then how did you know he is here?” “ ‘He wrote me when he left Yale that he was coming here. I have heard nothing since. He is here, is he not?’ “ ‘So I believe. 1 haven’t seen hlim yet. You know I’ve been away myself.’ “ ’Will you take me to him at once? If you are too busy 1 will ask’— “ ‘Very well,’ said I. ‘We’ll drive out to the encampment’ And I telephoned for my buckboard. “There was little said on our fifteen , mile drive, for 1 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 ur in greater perturbation than did tlw-girl, behind whom lay the selfishness of spoiled womanhood aud a generation of unrestraint. “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 merrymaking 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 became 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 •lay, all barbaric and primitive in habit and dress and coloring—an atavistic race which had shaken off some threescore years, or some thirtyscore for all tve knew. “I guided her through the tangle of canvas habitations, through glaring fire lit circles and through black voids, where we stumbled and felt our way, rubbing shoulders with fierce 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 stifled 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 fice had been dragged to the flames, where other carcasses were singeing among the pots and kettles. From every 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 upbn 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 was a confusion of blackened pails and vessels filled with something steaming, into which, they dipped their naked fingers. Their faces were streaked and foul with traces of tile 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 others listened, but what a change two years, had wrought! His voice was ' harsh; his face through the painted daubs and streaks vras coarser and duller than when I knew him; his very body was more thin and shrunken than in the past “He finished his tai© while we were staring at him, the circle broke into commendatory and he smiled in childlike satisfaction at the impression Jhe had made., He leaned for—t* " ’lj» . _ I.

THE WHITE FLAG. I sent my love two roses—one As white as driven snow And one a blushing royal red, A flaming Jacqueminot I meant to touch and test my fate. i That night I should divine The moment I should see my ' love If her true heart were mine. For if she holds me dear, I said, She’ll wear my blushing rose; If not she’ll wear my cold Lamarque, As white as winter’s snows. My heart sank when I met her. Sure, * I’ve been overbold, For on her breast my pale rose lay In virgin whiteness cold. Yet with low words she greeted me. With smiles divinely tender. • Upon her cheek the red rose dawned— The white rose meant surrender. —John Hay. ward auu, 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 place was taken by a squaw. ‘“Running Elk!’ I called over the heads of those next the entrance, aud, seeing my face against the night, he ar&se and came out, stepping over the others. “’How do you do?’ I said. ‘You haven’t forgotten me, have you?’ “He towered head and shoulders above me, his feather headdress adding 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 answerW- 4 ‘“Yes, 1 am satisfied. lam an Indian.’ “ ‘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 1 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 experiment. 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 understand, the fellow who wouldn’t talk to you!” 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 whipped—a youth forced out from the darkness of all the ages into a dazzling. incomprehensible world. I seem to see him, awestruck and timid, groping 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 t 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 and was understood?” “Then you don’t think my experiment 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. —Hot soup at Kate’s Restaurant ~“FA6GED-OUF' WOMB ~ Will Find Help in This LetterOverworked, run down, “fagged out* women who feel as though they could hardly drag about, should profit by Mrs. Brill’s experience.
