A few of them--those who were fair enough to; went'to while schools, keeping their deep, dark secret locked their bosoms. Those who readily revealed their race, either by word or appearance, were shut out.

"The part of you that Isn't Indian is white. Always he proud of that, the whole passel of you. We were thinking about what would be.good for our chillen long before they were ever born."
