It puzzled Na-tee-kah somewhat that anybody else should have won anything while her wonderful brother was near by, but Ha-ha-pah-no relieved her by remarking, "Ugh! The red-head kill deer. Two Arrows show him how. Good." One of the miners had ridden out from the line of march and returned with another deer, so that fresh venison was plentiful in the camp.
Judge Parks and Yellow Pine had their hands very full of an inspection of the cargoes of the two wagons. The men toiled vigorously at the stone wall and at the shingle riving. Ha-ha-pah-no and Na-tee-kah were as busy as bees over the lengthening list of marvels put before their eyes.
In spite of all prohibition, she broke away from under the trees and darted off towards the rocks on the side of the notch opposite the mine. It was only a minute before Ha-ha-pah-no followed her, with no idea of bringing her back, whatever she said to the rest on starting. "See fight. Squaw shoot, too, sometime. Na-tee-kah heap brave."
There surely was one whoop that seemed to have swallowed several others, and Jonas remarked, "That feller could do all the loose yelling for a small tribe. Hark to him, now." "Big Tongue great brave!" said Ha-ha-pah-no, tartly. "'Pache hear him, 'Pache go dead. Run."
On their part, they were a good deal more than willing, for they had much to gain from peace and very little from war with mounted riflemen. "Prisoner?" groaned Na-tee-kah. "Boy all right," grumbled Ha-ha-pah-no, indignantly. "Find pale-face camp anyhow. Go right in. Old brave all asleep. Never find anything. Big chief by-and-by."
They were yet busy at it when the voice of the Big Tongue was first heard at the barrier, and every squaw knew what it signified. "Two Arrows," exclaimed Na-tee-kah, "has rifle now; kill heap." "Big Tongue great brave," said Ha-ha-pah-no. "Shoot mouth; 'Pache heap die."
There'll be fish br'iled and ready in no time." Ha-ha-pah-no and Na-tee-kah each had a frying-pan, and the fish were put in as fast as they were cleaned, but some of the men could not wait for that. They insisted upon cleaning and cooking for themselves, for, as Jonas remarked, "We can't git at the mine till the shelter's done and the waggins are unpacked. We'll have it up in short order."
