"Me? Aw, I'm tip-top. I'm shore glad you got this ranch. Reckon I'll hit you for a job." "I'd give it to you. But aren't you working for the Hutters?" "Nope. Not any more. Me an' Stanton had a row with them." How droll and dry he was! His lean, olive-brown face, with its guileless clear eyes and his lanky figure in blue jeans vividly recalled Oak Creek to Carley.
What should she ask what out of a thousand sudden flashing queries? "Are are the Hutters back?" "Sure. Been back several days. I reckoned Hoyle told you. Mebbe he didn't know, though. For nobody's been to town." "How is how are they all?" faltered Carley. There was a strange wall here between her thought and her utterance. "Everybody satisfied, I reckon," replied Charley.
Carley sent her aunt through to the Canyon while she stopped off at Flagstaff to store innumerable trunks and bags. The first news she heard of Glenn and the Hutters was that they had gone to the Tonto Basin to buy hogs and would be absent at least a month. This gave birth to a new plan in Carley's mind. She would doubly surprise Glenn.
The travelers were hospitably received by the pioneers, and here, as the autumn was far advanced, and travel difficult, they determined to halt for the winter, at least, and in the spring to go farther south in search of Scythia's tribe, the Nez Percees, who had been moved away from their former hunting grounds. They were feasted and lodged by the hutters that night.
They held their way towards the Mohawk in silence, however, to rush into new adventures, as stirring and as remarkable as those which had attended their opening careers on this lovely lake. At a later day they returned to the place, where the Indian found a grave. Time and circumstances have drawn an impenetrable mystery around all else connected with the Hutters.
These sisters were very poor; not, however, as the phrase is understood in the large cities, where, notwithstanding the many charitable institutions for the mitigation of poverty, scores of people perish annually from cold and hunger; but as it is understood in the rich lower counties of Maryland, where forests filled with game and rivers swarming with fish afford abundance of food and fuel to even the poorest hutters, however destitute they might be of proper shelter, clothing, or education.
The Mexicans had a camp in the cedars, and the Hoyles had theirs at the spring under the knoll where Carley had camped with Glenn and the Hutters. Carley watched the golden rosy sunset, and as the day ended she breathed deeply as if in unutterable relief. Supper found her with appetite she had long since lost.
"And that timid fawn starts not with fear, When I steal to her secret bower; And that young May violet to me is dear, And I visit the silent streamlet near, To look on the lovely flower." Bryant, "An Indian Story," ii.11-15 The ark, as the floating habitation of the Hutters was generally called, was a very simple contrivance.
