Why, you didn't think for one minute, did yuh, that I was takin' any chance with you? Not a chance in the world! Go squeal to the law an' what would it get yuh? "You was drivin' this car yourself when Smilin' Lou stopped us, recollect. He had yuh placed as one of that Black Butte gang quick as he lamped yuh. Yuh think Smilin' Lou is goin' to take a chance?
"The opposition seem to recognize my importance, and they move more quickly than the police." The trooper took the letter, which was typed and bore no date or name of place. "'Keep off this trial and you'll have no more trouble," he read aloud. "'Back up the police and you'll be sorry. If you mean to drop them, drive over to the Butte, Thursday, and get supper at the Queen's."
Some of these were doubtless mere retaining walls, but others are still standing to a considerable height, and there is yet much débris on the slope of the rock forming the eastern side of the butte near its top. It is doubtful whether these rooms were ever used for habitations, and more probable that they were used as a shrine or for some analogous purpose.
When his thoughts dwelt upon the scene at the butte during Trevison's visit while the mining machinery was being erected the trap that Corrigan had prepared for the man a grim smile wreathed his face, for he strongly suspected what was meant by Trevison's visit to the dynamite shed.
"With so authentic a map of the enemy's stronghold, what need I fear? I go but, on my honor, I shall shortly return." She stood with her fingers clasped tightly in front of her, and watched me lead Shylock down that butte on the side toward the pass, if you are still in doubt of my intentions.
In the morning the train stopped at Little Missouri, where the passengers were refreshed with breakfast, then on again past Sentinel Butte, they left the boundaries of Dakota and entered the great territory of Montana.
The rendezvous was to be at ten o'clock on Encampment Butte, a plateau overlooking the entire hunting-field and visible for miles. An hour before the appointed time the clans began to gather. All the camps within twenty-five miles, and which were entertaining participants of the hunt, put in a prompt appearance.
She came out of her lodge and said to them, "Stop; give me back those mysterious medicines of mine, whose power helped you to do what you wished." The man returned them to her, and then once more became really a living person. When they drew near to the camp the woman went on ahead and sat down on a butte. Then some curious persons came out to see who this might be.
This is the innocent, petrified blood of victims which stained a ledge of porphyry when it ran down the mountain side in torrents, an awful sacrifice to the ancient idols of lust and ignorance. A kindly warning to you, fellow-prospectors and miners, who delve in the vitals of Mother Earth! Beware Thumb Butte, beware the district of the Sphinx!
For some time the savage horsemen continued their circling gallop around the butte one occasionally swooping nearer; but covered by the body of his horse in such a way that it was impossible to sight him. These manoeuvres were executed by the young warriors, apparently in a spirit of bravado, and with the design of showing off their courage and equestrian skill.
