Tyope listened with apparent indifference, and said nothing. She attended to the weeping part, he not so much to the duty of pious recollection as to that of deep thinking over the new phase which matters had entered upon in consequence of the bloody event. For this sudden death of the maseua was for his designs a most fortunate occurrence.
"We have to talk together, the maseua and I." He fastened on his spouse a look timid and imploring; it was plain that he did not venture to send her out directly, that he was afraid of her. Koay looked at him carelessly, and said in a very cool manner, "I want to hear that talk." "But I will not allow it," interposed Topanashka; and his cold, piercing eye rested on the woman's face.
While her mother proceeded in her account with noisy volubility, Mitsha cried; for Okoya had often spoken of his grandfather, telling her how wise, strong, and good sa umo maseua was. She felt that the young man looked up to him as to an ideal, and she wept quite as much because of her feeling for Okoya as for the murdered main-stay of her people.
The old man glanced, not at the birds, but at the trunk above which the crows were sitting. It was not thick enough to conceal the body of a man, and about it the ground was bare. If there had been anybody hiding there, the cunning and mistrustful birds would never have alighted. The maseua took this into consideration, and began to doubt the correctness of his former conclusions.
Perhaps I shall have to stay, and some other one will go in my stead." "Must not all go?" Okoya asked; he was astonished. "Every one must go whom the maseua chooses."
"Where is the tapop?" Hoshkanyi Tihua stepped forward and inquired, "What has happened? What do you want?" "Our father the maseua," gasped the man, "is dead! He was killed on the Ziro kauash!" "Who killed him?" demanded the principal chayan, placing himself in front of the speaker. The Indian raised his arm on high; from it depended a circular object.
Why should we give anything for that which does not help the others? It will help us, but only us and nobody else. We give nothing because we have nothing," he hissed at last, and looked at Tyope as if urging him to be firm and not to promise anything under any circumstances. Tyope remained mute; the words of the maseua appeared to leave him unmoved.
