His great anus were spread out on the table before him. The b.auli ful hands were opening and clos ing convulsively. So a mastodon might have looked at a worm. "Pineapple and inarshmalow sal ad," he repeated, thoughtfully, al most wondcringly. Suddenly be threw back the magnificent head and began to augh. l'eal after peal of Herculean laughter, "l'ine ajiplc and marsh" choking, the tears running down his cheeks. Sabra was angry, then frightened. .For as suddenly as be had be gun to laugh he became serious. He stood up, one hand on the table. Then he seemed to pull his whole body together like a tiuer who is about to spring. lie stood thus a moment, swaying little. '"Actum est de republica.'" "What?" said Sabra, sharply.' "Latin, Latin, my love. Pine apple and inarslnnallow salad! 'It is all over with the Republic.' " She shrugged her shoulders ini- patinetly. Yancey turned, stiffly, like a soldier, walked out of the room, liickttl. ins white sombrero off the hall rack and put it on at the usual jaunty angle, went down the porch stair with his light, graceful step, to the sidewajk and up the street, the great head low ered, the arms swinging despond ently at his. sides. . Sabra went on with her work of tidying up the house. Her eyes burned her throat was constricted Men! TTcn I Cim off . with that squaw. Yancey angry because bc had given him this very feminine dish of left-overs. What was the use of pride, what was the use of ambition for your children, your home, your town if this was all it amounted to? Her work done, she allowed herself the luxury of ' a deliberate and cleansing storm of tears. F.ight o'clock. She heated sonic of the afternoon coffee and drank it sitting at the kitchen table. Sh went out on the front porch Darkness had come on. A hot September evening. The crickets squeaked and ground away in the weeds. She ; was conscious of an aching weariness in all her body but she could not sleep. Her eyes felt as- though they were being pulled apart by invisible fingers She put her palms over them, to shut them, to- cool .them. Nine ien. iueven. twelve.

Suddenly she began . to dress again with icy fumbling fingers. She did up her hair, put on her hat and a jacket She closed the door behirol her, locked it, slipped the key into the mail box. The Wigwam office. .Yancey was not there. The office was dark. She shook the door,' rattled tin knob, peered in, unlocked it with the key in her handbag. Her heart Was pounding but she was not afraid . of the darkness. ... A cat's eyes gleamed at her from the print ing shop. She struck a light. No one. No one. The linotype ma chine grinned at her with its white teeth. Its iron arm and hand shook tauntingly at her in the wavering light. With a sudden premonition she ran to Yancey's Relieves Itch In 30 Minutes An-Go-Itch, a liquid prepara tion, goes into the creases and crevices of the skin as no salve or ointment can do, and kills every parasite which causes itch or scabies in 30 minutes.

Down the rickety wood en steps or the two-story nriek building., Mie stood a moment 111 fbe street, looking this way ami that. She stuck her ' palms to get her in a kind of agony of fn tility. She would go almie if sin ad a horse and buggy. She coub rent one at the livery stable Hut what would they think those men at the stable, They were the gossips of the town. It would be all over Osage, all over the county Sabra Cravat driving out into tin prairie alone in the middle of the night. Something up. Well, she couldn t help that. She had to go. She had to get him. toward the hvcry stable, past the liixby house. A quiet litll figure rose from the blackness of the porch- where all through the day the traveling ; men and loafers sat with their chairs tilted back against the wall. The red coal o his cigar was an eye in the dark ness. "Sabra" What is this! What are you doing running around this hour of the night?" Sol Levy, silting there' in tl ie Oklahoma night,' a lonely little fig tire, sleepless brooding. lie hai never before called her Sabra. "Sol! . Sol! Gun's out at lb reservation. Something's happened I know. I feel it." tie did not scoti at this, as most men Would. Ho seemed to understand her fear, her prcinoiii tion, and to accept it with ri ental fatalism. "What do you want to do?" "Take me out there. 'Hitch up and drive me out there. ' C im got the buggy. He went out will her." He did not ask . where Yancc was. He asked nothing. '"Go home," he said. "Wait on your porch. I'll get my rig and come for you. They shouldn't see you Do you want nm to go home with you first?" "No, no. I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid of anything." Sol .

Three o'clock and after. They came in sight of the Osage reser vation, a scattered settlement of sterile -farms and wooden shanties sprawled on the bare unlovely prai rie. Darkness. The titter darkness that precedes the- dawn. Stillness, except for the thud of their horses' ying hoofs and the' .whir and bump of the buggy wheels. Then, is Sabra slowed tlietu -down, un certainly, undecided as to what they might best do, they heard it the. weird .wavering cadences of the Mescal song the' hail-like clat ter of the gourd rattle shaken, vig orously and inontoiiouslv : and be neath and above and around it all. reverberating, haunting, . ominous, the beat of the buckskin drum. Through the still, cool night air of the prairie it came to them to the overwrought woman, and to the little peaceful : Jew. Barbaric sounds,- wild, sinister. She pulled up the horses. They sat a mo ment, listening. Listening. The drum. The savage sound of the drum. I 'ear was gnawing at her vitals, wringing her very hearl with clam my fingers, yet Sabra spoke matter-uf-factly, her voice holding a hard little note because she was trying to keep it from quavering. "He'll be in the Mescal tcpcl next to Big Elk's house. They built it there when he was chief, and they still use it regularly for the ceremony. Yancey showed it In me once, when he drove 111c out lure." She stopped arid cleared her throat, for lie-r voice was sud denly husky. She wondered, con fusedly, if that sound was the drum or ..her own heart beating. She gave a little cracked laugh that bordered on hysleria. "A drum in (he night. It sounds so terrible. So savage." no 1 1 -ivy now took the reins from her shaking ingers. "There is nothing to he. frightened about. A lot of ioer ignorant Indians trying to forget their misery. Come." Perhaps no man ever made a more courageous gesture, for the little sensitive Jew was terribly frightened. Uncertainly, in the blackness, they ''made their way toward the drum bent. Nearer and nearer, louder and louder.

"Oh i It's- all right. Still', I guess from llie- ride." She leaned against him a moment, then straightened de terminedly, lie took ' her arm firmly. Together they made, their way toward the tent-shaped wood en tepee. Two great, silent blanketed fig ures at the door .through which the fitful flame nf the sacred fire flar ed. The figures did hot speak. They stood there', barring lib- way. The little' Jew feb Sabra's arm trembling in his hand. He peeled up into the face of the silent, im mobile figures. Suddenly, "Hello, Joe!" Tie turn ed to Sabra. "It's Joe Yellow Kyes. He was in the store:, only yesterday.. Say,' Joe, the lady here Mrs. Cravat- she wants her sou should come out and go home." The blanketed figure stood silent. Suddenly Sabra thought. "This is ridiculous." She loosed her arm. She took a step forward. Ik r profile sharp and clear in the" firelight.
