On a war party, in company with the Pawnees, he had attacked the Spaniards, and penetrated into one of their camps; the Spaniards excepting a man and a boy fled, himself being at a distance before his party; he was shot at and missed by the man, whom he immediately shot down and struck.
"It's true that Felton's men an' the Sioux also may come, but I don't think it's ez likely, 'cause the Sioux are mostly plains warriors, an' them that ain't are goin' down thar anyhow to fight, while the outlaws likely are ridin' to the west huntin' fur us." "Anyway," said Stephen Brady, in his deep, bass voice, "we'll trust to Providence.
There was a smile on her parted lips. "She's happy about seeing him," thought Dallas, and was overwhelmed by a sense of her own guilt. A diversion soon came in a horrid guise. The road touched the coulée again, bringing close the giant cottonwoods, where the Sioux dead were lashed; and the girls, glancing toward the trees, suddenly caught a glimpse of long, wrapped bodies.
I would wait until the Sioux had gone; then I would go back to my moose," I interrupted for the third time. "I will finish the story first; then you may tell us what you would do," said my uncle reprovingly. "The two Sioux were father and son.
