A citizen or two paused on the street corner, a few Mexicans grinned as they drew back to allow the Gringo free access to the saloon, and a swarthy figure slipped unobserved across the street and blended into the shadow of the adobe wall. "O-o-o-o-o-h, the yaller r-o-s-e of Texas!" sang the cowpuncher, with joyous vehemence.
As he stepped into the room, his eyes swept the faces of the gamblers and again he burst into vociferous song: "O-o-o-o-o-h, w-h-e-r-e is my wanderin' b-o-y tonight?" "Hey, you!

"The Blackfeet!" screamed Eagle Shoe, rushing from his tepee.
"I am actually faint with hunger, and a cup of tea appears necessary to revive me." "Of course, stay," said the girl with quick sympathy. "We can't give you much, but we can give you something." "Oh ho!" "O-h-o-o-o-h! O-h-o-o-o-h!" A loud call came from the woods. "There's Nora," said Kathleen. "O-o-o-o-o-h! O-o-o-o-o-h!" The girl's answering call was like the winding of a silver horn.
