Townley could find no fault with the woman as an Indian. She had taste, carried her clothes well, and was superbly fresh in appearance, though her hair still bore very slight traces of the grease which even the most aristocratic Indians use. But Lali would not talk. Mrs.
His tutelar relations with Lali had reopened many an old spring of sensation and experience. Her shy dependency, her innocent inquisitiveness, had searched out his remotest sympathies. In teaching her he had himself been re-taught. Before she came he had been satisfied with the quiet usefulness and studious ease of his life.
Glancing at the "Marriage" column, he saw a notice to the effect that on a certain day of a certain month, Francis Gilbert, the son of General Joseph Armour, C.B., of Greyhope, Hertfordshire, and Cavendish Square, was married to Lali, the daughter of Eye-of-the-Moon, chief of the Bloods, at her father's lodge in the Saskatchewan Valley.
"But I am a good deal older than I was five years ago. . . Come, let us go to bed." And Lali? How had the night gone for her? When she rose from the child's cot, where her lips had caught the warmth that her husband had left on them, she stood for a moment bewildered in the middle of the room.

Armour was sitting in the trader's room at Fort Charles when the carrier came with the mails. He had had some successful days hunting buffalo with Eye-of-the-Moon and a little band of metis, had had a long pow-wow in Eye-of-the-Moon's lodge, had chatted gaily with Lali the daughter, and was now prepared to enjoy heartily the arrears of correspondence and news before him.
During that time he had not neglected his pensioners, his poor, sick, halt, and blind, but a deeper, larger interest had come into his life in the person of Lali. During all that time she had seldom been out of his sight, never out of his influence and tutelage. His days had been full, his every hour had been given a keen, responsible interest.
"I hardly know," he answered. "My thoughts were drifting." "Richard," she said abruptly," I want to thank you." "Thank me for what, Lali?" he questioned. "To thank you, Richard, for everything since I came, over three years ago."
"You always were clever, my dear, and you always were twice too good for me." "Well, every woman worth the knowing is a missionary." "Where does Lali come in?" "Can you ask? To justify the claims of womanhood in spite of race and all." "To bring one man to a sense of the duty of sex to sex, eh?" "Truly. And is she not doing it well? See her now."
They both ran to the window and saw dashing down the avenue a picture out of Fenimore Cooper; a saddleless horse with a rider whose fingers merely touched the bridle, riding as on a journey of life and death. "My God, it's Lali! She's mad she's mad! She is striking that horse! It will bolt! It will kill her!" cried the general. Then he rushed for a horse to follow her. Mrs.
