But his right hand played with the string of the bow that lay on the wolf's skin. "Nacaytzusle," the other began again, "I promised to assist you to obtain the girl against her will. Mind! Mitsha, my daughter, will never go to a home of the Dinne of her own accord, but I would have stolen her for your sake.
The Navajos, or Dinne, haunted the country around the Tyuonyi; and in case she fell in with one or more of their number, it became a matter of life or death. The Moshome, or enemies of her tribe, might take a fancy to the woman and spare her; but they might feel wicked and kill her.
Pelby had no dining-room, the back parlour was used for this purpose, and so all the progressive arrangements of the tea-table were visible. "Oh, dinne weddy! dinne weddy!" cried little Henry, sliding down from the lap of Mrs.
You have demanded," he continued, raising his voice, while he bent forward and darted at the Indian from the Rito a look of suppressed rage, "that the Dinne should come down upon the Tyuonyi at the time when the Koshare should fast and pray, and should kill Topanashka, the great warrior, so that you might become maseua in his place! Now I tell you that I shall not do either!"
Then he begins to cut the scalp with his shaggy knife-blade of flint. A faint whistling sound, as of some one hissing near him, is heard; and ere he looks up a male voice by his side has said, "That is good, very good!" The words are spoken in the Dinne language. The murderer looks up, staying his work of mutilation.
"It is true that the Moshome Dinne cannot have killed all our people. Do you not think, satyumishe, that he meant to tell me thereby that forty of our people escaped and fled to Hanyi?" "I do; and that is the reason why I believe we shall find them in Hashyuko," the eastern corner, the Queres name for the place where Santa Fé stands, replied the other, very positively.
He went close to him and struck him with his club till he died. So Hayoue says. Hayoue remained behind; he kept back the Dinne and then came down through the enemy how I do not know and protected the katityam, helping the Koshare. All the Moshome who entered the house of the Eagles twelve of them were killed inside; their scalps are with us.
Thou art Dinne, it is true, and their tongue is thy language, but many a time hast thou seen the sun set and rise while the houses wherein we dwell on the brook were thy home. When they brought thee to us after the day on which Topanashka slaughtered thy people beyond the mountains, thou didst not remain with us long. The moon has not been bright often since thou left us to join thy people.
"Because," Hayoue indignantly retorted, "the others had to remain at home to protect the weak ones, in case the Moshome Tehua came for the leavings of the Moshome Dinne." He accompanied these already insulting words with looks of defiance, glancing around with eyes flashing, and lips scornfully curled. His wrath was raised to the highest pitch; he could not control himself.
During the last interview of Tyope with the young Navajo, the latter had charged him with having asked the Dinne to kill the old maseua during an incursion which his tribe were to make into the valley of the Rito. It was true that Tyope had suggested it, but he had not told the Navajo all that he designed through this act of treachery.
