Back and forth it went until Antelope caught it in his ball stick. He started at full speed toward the goal on Swift Elk's side. In a moment he was caught and the ball again turned. Running, screaming, throwing, pushing, striking each other's arms with ball sticks, the boys rushed together. At last Antelope's side gained the advantage. Nearer and nearer the ball came to Swift Elk's goal sticks.
Phipps to travel sixteen hours out of the twenty-four just to dance with her was a triumph indeed.

Although Dennie spoke lightly, she shuddered a little at the thought, and the whole company grew graver. "An Indian doesn't forget. So, Red Fox, who had sworn to have The Fawn, came down here with hundreds of Sioux who wanted the ponies the Kickapoos had stolen, as Red Fox wanted Swift Elk's girl. The Kickapoos wouldn't give up the ponies and Swift Elk wouldn't give up The Fawn.
"1st. Two human skeletons lying on what had been the original surface of the earth. "2d. A great quantity of arrow-heads, some of which were so large as to induce a belief that they were used as spear-heads. "3d. The handle either of a small sword or a large knife, made of an elk's horn.
