Chief Healer 


Heleft Dosersoa was concentrating her at- 
tention on the sweater she was knitting. Seated 
comfortably on a chair her eyes were below 
the Jewel ©f the large desk in front of her. She 
thought she heard a slight cough. Then it be- 
came louder. Finally she raised her eyes. In front 
of her was a tall well built young man wearing 
new eastern clothing. 

"What can I do for you,” she smiled. 

"This is the office of the Cooperstown-Hagg- 
ersville Stage Coach Company, isn’t it?” he half 
said and half asked. 

"That’s what the big sign outside tells you,” 
she pointed out. 

"I want a ticket to Haggersville on the three 
o’clock stage. One way please. How much is 
the fare?” he continued. 

"No stage leaves today, nor tomorrow, nor 
the day after,” she said pleasantly. 

"But at St. Louis they told me the stages 
leave every day. And that’s what is printed 
outside on your schedule board.” 

"Ever hear of Chief Vittorio?" she demanded. 

"Of course,” he replied in a slightly harsh 
tone of voice that escaped her. 

"He and about a thousand of his brayes are 
in the mountain regions between here and Hagg- 
ersville,” she told him. "At present he is at war 
with the government, And that also includes 
all white men.” 

"Ridiculous,” insisted the young man. "Then 
I will hire a horse and ride to Haggersville. 
Also a pack horse for my luggage.” 

"Why ridiculous?” interrupted the voice of 
Helen’s father who had' overheard the entire 
conversation from inside his private office. He 
opened the door and faced the young man. 

"You easterners are -all the same,” he scolded. 
"You make light of a situation that means life 
and death to us out here in the west. One month 
of this and I’m broke. Think you are smart, eh? 
Go out and drive the stage yourself. Get it 
through and I’ll give you half interest in my 
line.” 

The young man looked at the older man 
whom he realized was the father of the charm- 
ing girl. Whatever other plans he had' had in 
mind were now going to be changed. 

"Put that in writing now and I’ll take a 
stage out myself tomorrow or the day after at 
the latest,’ he challenged. 

Jack Donerson tok a pen and dipped it into 
the inkwell. He drew up a brief contract and 
handed it to the young man who read it over 
once carefully. Then he signed his name. Jack 
Donerson looked carefully at the name and 
his expression changed. 


"You are Dr. Robert Caldwell, the son of 
Dr. James Caldwell. I should have noticed 
the resemblance. Those eastern clothes of yours 
got me mixed up. I’ll notify the sheriff at once. 
Guess you are the only man who can help us.” 
Within an hour the news spread throughout 
the town about the arrival of the young man. 
Sheriff Jed Winston came over with a fast 
mustang for the young man who had now 
changed his clothing. He wore a tan shirt, west- 
ern boots, and in his right hand he held an 
Indian feathered war bonnet. Around' his waist 
was a gun belt and in the holster was a Colt .44. 
Soon Helen heard the story. Dr. Robert Cald- 
well was the blood brother of Long Lance, the 
son of Chief Vittorio! The young doctor faced 
the sheriff and the assembled group. 

"Whatever terms I can get from Chief Vitto- 
rio will have to bind you in honor. Are you all 
willing to do that?” 

"If we don’t then we face economic starva- 
tion,” said Michael Kelly, owner of Kelly’s 
Emporium. "We have no quarrel with the, 
Indians. See what you can do to help us.” 

The young man mounted his horse and threw 
the war bonnet over the pommel. He would 
not wear it until he was within the territory 
where he might expect the Indians to be waiting 
for any rider. Helen touched his hand. 

"You are a brave man,” she admitted. "I 
hope you are successful and become our part- 
ner.” 

For the next three hours, young Dr. Caldwell 
rode his horse slowly. Then he put the bonnet 
on his head. He had a feeling that eyes were 
watching him. And he wasn't wrong. For a 
half hour later he was stopped by an armed 
group of puzzled red' skins. 

"I am Young One, blood brpther of Long 
Lance. Chief Healer was my father. Now I too 
am a Chief Healer. Take me to Chief Vittorio. 
I wish to speak to him.” 

He was escorted though the mountain passes 
and taken to an encampment. Long Lance 
recognized him at once and spoke. 

"It is good to see you after these many years,” 
greeted Long Lance. "They told us that you 
had decided to study medicine after the death 
of your father. It is good' that you walk in his 
footsteps. We need healers for our people. My 
father will be glad to see you.” 

They then went to a big lodge. Long Lance 
entered first. Soon he came out with his father. 
At that ‘■time. Chief Vittorio was still a powerful 
man. He was in his middle fifties and could 
still remember when the buffalo were unnum- 
bered on the plains. 


*'I come in peace, oh Great Chief,” said Dr. 
Robert Caldwell. ‘'Never can it be said that 
either my father or myself did any injustice 
to our red brethren.” 

Then as though to emphasize his words, he 
unbuckled' his gun belt and handed it to Chief 
Vittorio. The braves watching this gesture were 
moved by it. So was the Chief who returned 
the gun belt to the young man. 

"Take it and keep it for we know you will 
never use it against us. What is your mission?” 
"Permit the st&ge from Cooperstown to Hagg- 
ersville to go in peace. For this I would receive 
a half interest in the company. Such money 
that I get will be turned over to your people. 
Surely when peace comes again, you will need 
many supplies including new homes. For you 
and your people can no longer be wanderers.” 
"When we were wanderers, we were free,” 
replied the Chief. "They would bind us to one 
place. Then feed us as though we were people 
who needed charity. 1 know not what to do. 
The days of the buffalo are numbered. Soon 
there will be none on the plains. What are we 
to do? Raise corn or become keepers of the 
cattle. We no longer fight the other tribes. Once 
my people were masters over the Sioux, Kiowas, 
and Dakotas. Now we face a master from Wash- 
ington that is very strong. We could go to 
Mexico. There is still plenty of land there.” 
"That wouldn’t solve your problem,” pointed 
out the young man. "You must be able to have 
food and materials for clothing. You and your 
people will live apart from the rest of the world 
for some time. But your children’s children, 
and their children, will walk in the ways of the 
white man.” 

"I am tired of running and fighting. Then 
running and fighting again. Go tell General 
Howard that I will talk peace with him. But 
you must be with us. For you talk the tongue 
of the white man as well as that of my people.” 
"I shall return to, Cooperstown and drive 
the stage to Haggersville,” explained Dr. Robert 
Caldwell. "It was my intention to open an of- 
fice in Haggersville. I shall contact Colonel 
Benderson at Fort Still. He will send the mess- 
age to General Howard.” 

The young man returned to Helen Donerson 
and her father. The next day the stage left. 


Actually, Joe Winters did most of the driving, 
with the young man at his seat who relieved 
him from time to time. The stage reached its 
destination safely. There, Dr. Robert Caldwell 
made arrangements to go to Fort Still. Three 
days later he spoke to Colonel Benderson. At 
the end of June, 1879, he accompanied General 
Howard to a peace parley with Chief Vittorio. 
Terms were finally agreed upon and fighting 
ceased. General Howard had the remarkable 
ability to understand the bothersome problems 
of both the white and the red men. 

Dr. Robert Caldwell kept on seeing Helen 
Donerson. It was while he was in the stage 
coach offices that he received a surprise visit 
from Colonel Benderson. 

. “I shall be responsible for seeing that peace 
continues,” explained the Colonel. "But I am 
realistic. Actually it depends upon having a 
good Indian Agent. General Howard suggested 
you as the man. Here is your appointment. The 
salary isn’t much though you will have a home, 
a wagon, horses and food allowance. Take two 
weeks to consider it. Then let me know whether 
or not you accept or refuse.” 

When the Colonel had left, there was an 
awkward silence in the office. Helen felt she 
could read the mind of the young man she had 
come to love. 

"Say it,” she prodded him. "I know some- 
thing is bothering you.” 

"I was going to ask you to marry me. But 
being the wife of a doctor in a western town 
is one thing. Being the wife of an Indian agent 
is another thing, for that is not going to be an 
easy life.” 

"But I will be your wife,” was her reply as 
she went into his arms. 

And so from August 1, 1879 to May 10, 1888, 
Dr. Robert Caldwell served as Indian Agent, 
During that time there was peace and content- 
ment among the red men as well as among the 
white settlers. Chief Healer, was the name that 
they called him in all circles. And his pretty wife 
did much to help him in his work. The stage 
coach line continued and was very successful. 
Half of the profits were used for the benefit 
of the Indians.

The MADE SIMPLE method teaches you easily 
and naturally — in a practical, useful manner and 
not by memorizing lists and rules. Instead of the 
confused explanations that clutter up most books, 
MADE SIMPLE uses clear, everyday language 
that everybody can understand. The “handpicked" 
expert authors include lawyers, C.P.A.'s, Associate 
and Full Professors of leading colleges, instructors 
from Princeton. De Paul, City College of New 
York, Rutgers and many others. 

Best of all, you never have to buy any materials 
or extra books or outlines to round out your courses. 
Each MADE SIMPLE volume is complete in it- 
self. They start from the beginning, assume no 
previous knowledge of the material and lead you 
quickly and carefully through evrrv phase of the 
faplaiwflsm. Simple lllnitnrtMip

Let’s look at one of the books and see how the 
MADE SIMPLE method makes every point abso- 
lutely clear by using simple, everyday illustrations 
and examples. 

In PHYSICS MADE SIMPLE, in the sect

edge of a piece of letter paper against your cl 
just below your lower lip, with the paper hanging 
over and down. If you now blow above the paper, 
it will rise to a horizontal position as If pulled 
upward in th* air stream." By using only a piece 
of paper, yerti have performed an experiment that
