Well, see and get busy, and let's have no more fool talk and crazy notions. Here, take this," he went on, in his deliberate, forceful way, thrusting the baby's feeding bottle into the girl's hands. "That's the kiddie's feed. Guess I fixed it because well, maybe because you're tired. Take it to her. Give it to her.
I'm wantin' to understand your position and your character." Nick stared at him, but could not bear for long the searching expression in Kiddie's clear eyes. He lowered his own. "Thar's no bluffing a player like you, Kiddie," he said. "You've called my hand. I gotter show up. You's correct. Thar was sure another plan.
"Unfortunately," he answered, "the Crows have no warrior capable of planning and carrying out such an enterprise. It'll be as much as we can do to defend our village when we ourselves are attacked. Now, if Buckskin Jack were here !" There was a long spell of silence in the lodge, broken only by the crackling of the fire. Rube had closed his heavy eyes when he again heard Kiddie's voice.
Gideon Birkenshaw had come down from the homestead to greet him, and the fresh pony was held by young Rube Carter. Kiddie's Highland deerhound, Sheila, was also on the trail. As he dismounted, she raised herself on her hind feet and put her paws on his shoulders to lick his chin. "Down, Sheila, down!" commanded Kiddie, drawing away from her. "I'm on duty. I've not come home to you."
Falling Water's army might thus have been adroitly caught between two fires, had it not been for Kiddie's forethought in sending his reserves to the support of his right wing. It accordingly followed that, while numerically the inferior force, the Crows continued to hold the great advantage they had gained by concentrating their strength upon a weak point at the most fitting moment.
Clearly he had been placed in authority over them as their general and field-marshal he who, hardly twelve hours before, had crept secretly into their camp, an unknown trespasser! Rube Carter marvelled at the strangeness of the situation, though not for an instant did he doubt Kiddie's fitness and ability.
Later, when the three of them were landing at the little pier, close to Kiddie's cabin, Rube said quietly "I remember now, Kiddie, 'bout that footprint or the boot that made it. Nick Undrell wears boots nailed an' clamped like that. An' didn't Abe tell us as Nick had bin seen prowlin' round here? Guess it was Nick's pipe you found in the canoe. What you whistlin' for?" "The dog," returned Kiddie.
She'll roll over, sure, if you try ter get astride her by the middle." Rube paddled out into the lake until he was told to stop. He shipped his paddle, and looked round in time to see Kiddie's beautiful muscular figure poised ready to dive from the high peak. With an adroit movement, Kiddie leapt into the air and, turning, cut the water as cleanly as an arrow, making very little splash.
She showed her sympathy with Kiddie's attitude by giving Mr. Finlayson "the time of his life," as Kiddie himself remarked. So assiduously, indeed, did she devote herself to the promotion of Mr.
"We shall not get very far if you're notionin' ter make camp 'fore dark." "All the better," said Kiddie. "If we find we've forgotten anything, there'll be the less distance for us to come back for it, see?" "Thar's nothin' as you're liable ter have forgot," observed Rube, confident in Kiddie's forethought. "Seems ter me you must have had a schedule of the things already fixed up in your head.
