The Easterner, on the other hand, has ruled India by right of intelligence and by every claim of social and religious distinction, for at least thirty centuries. He stands to-day a match for any individual, East or West, in intellectual prowess. But, more than this, socially and religiously he regards himself as the first son of heaven.
The cowboy and the Easterner obediently sidled their chairs to make room for the new-comers. Johnnie, however, simply arranged himself in a more indolent attitude, and then remained motionless. "Come! Git over, there," said Scully. "Plenty of room on the other side of the stove," said Johnnie. "Do you think we want to sit in the draught?" roared the father.
"It's my opinion this feller is some kind of a Dutchman." "Well, he says he's a Swede, anyhow," muttered Johnnie, sulkily. He turned to the Easterner: "What do you think, Mr. Blanc?" "Oh, I don't know," replied the Easterner. "Well, what do you think makes him act that way?" asked the cowboy. "Why, he's frightened." The Easterner knocked his pipe against a rim of the stove.
"But," said the cowboy, deeply scandalized, "this ain't Wyoming, ner none of them places. This is Nebrasker." "Yes," added Johnnie, "an' why don't he wait till he gits out West?" The travelled Easterner laughed. "It isn't different there even not in these days. But he thinks he's right in the middle of hell." Johnnie and the cowboy mused long. "It's awful funny," remarked Johnnie at last.
Randerson could not adjust his principles to his purpose to do Masten to death while working for Ruth, and so, in the morning following his meeting with the Easterner on the trail leading to Chavis' shack, he announced to the men of the outfit that he was going to quit. He told Red Owen to take charge until Ruth could see him. Glum looks followed his announcement.
Thrand answered that he was a brother of Eyvind the Easterner, and the man with him was his comrade, Onund Treefoot. The vikings laughed and said: "Trolls take the rascal Treefoot and lay him even with the ground. Never yet did I see men go to battle who could not carry themselves." Onund said that could not be known until it was tried. Then the ships came together.
"Whew!" whistled the Easterner, in dazed repulsion, looking with interest on the girl's animated face. "Oh, what do you care!" responded the miner, carelessly. "She has her fun." Bismarck Anne jumped into the nearest man's arms, was kissed, bestowed a slap, and flitted away down the room.
The buildings formed an inner quadrangle and two sides of an outer one, all a beehive of industry. There were the work rooms of the Indians, where blankets and cloth were woven; great vats for trying out tallow and curing hides, and also huge storehouses for grain and other foodstuffs, all built and cared for by the Indians." "Quite a change from their lazy roving life," suggested the Easterner.
There was much to be seen which was new and attractive to the young Easterner, and he tarried in it several days, enjoying its novel and picturesque life. The arrival and departure of the various stage lines for the accommodation of travelers like himself was of more than passing interest. They rattled in from Austin and Laredo.
The Red Trail and the Yellowstone Trail had joined now and she was one of the new Canterbury Pilgrims. Even Mr. Boltwood caught the trick of looking for licenses, and cried, "There's a Connecticut car!" To the Easterner, a drive from New York to Cape Cod, over asphalt, is viewed as heroic, but here were cars that had casually started on thousand-mile vacations.
