"One of you, you know dat my wigwam," said the grim chief, smiling on Margery with a friendly eye, and shaking hands with the bee- hunter, who thought his manner less constrained than on former similar occasions. "Get good supper for ole Injin, young squaw; dat juss what squaw good for." Margery laughingly promised to remember his injunction, and went her way, closely attended by her lover.
