They must know that if they allowed Ruth and Chess to depart from the cave, their presence here and what they were doing would be reported to the police. And men like Bilby, who would stoop to anything for money, were not likely to give over such a profitable business as the smuggling of opium without a fight. Just how much did Bilby and his companions care for the law?
Unless Chief Totantora shows up and asks to have her handed over to you, I calkerlate you won't get her." "See here, my man!" exclaimed Bilby, at once becoming blusterous, "you'll get into trouble with the Government if you interfere with me." "That doesn't scare me none," was the prompt reply of Jabez Potter.
Well, I never seen him agen till to-day when we stopped for dinner; but the feller at the Bilby Well he told me about it when we was goin' back to Bargoona, nex' trip." "Seems, the other feller he goes out in the mornin' on foot, thinkin' to fine his carrion among that mulgar in the corner to yer left; an' when he got to the corner, there was a hole in the fence, an' the tracks through.
Hammond. It was light enough for us to see the men in that boat plainly. Just as sure as one of them was a Chinaman, the short, fat man was Horatio Bilby." "It doesn't seem possible that the fellow would chase away up here after us when he so signally failed down below. My lawyer tells me that he had no real authority from the Bureau of Indian Affairs to secure Wonota's services, after all."
These men were a part of Giles A. Smith's brigade, and part belonged to the brigade of T. Bilby Smith, the senior officer present being Lieutenant-Colonel Rice, Fifty-fourth Ohio, an excellent young officer. We had no horses.
"Well, Bilby was ahead of us there. Somehow, he got backing and bought the picture and dramatic rights to the tales outright. He can find somebody besides Wonota to play Running Deer." "He seems to have set his heart on our Wonota." "Yes. He did make Totantora a whacking good offer. I must admit he did. I could not begin to see such a price for the girl's services. And on a mere speculation.
I didn't know there were any white folks interested in this business." "You make a perfectly proper distinction," Ruth told him. "Bilby is not a white man not in his business ethics I am sure. I want to warn you that those Indians have powerful friends and you would do well to have nothing more to do with them." "I get you," growled the fellow.

"I'd like to do something to that Bilby." "Have you money plenty of money?" Ruth demanded of the Indian. "I have money," said Wonota, touching the bosom of her blouse. "We do not need much. We shall live quietly there until Mr. Hammond sends for us. We will be faithful to you, Miss Ruth." She turned, with more impulsiveness than she usually showed, and kissed the white girl's cheek.
