Good Indian took note of the group before it stirred to activity, and murmured anxiety over the bandaged foot of Peppajee. "Me no can watchum more, mebbyso six days. Yo' no sleepum all time yo' walk no thinkum all time squaw. Mebbyso yo' think for man-snake. Mebbyso yo' watchum," Peppajee said, as he swung slowly down from Huckleberry's back. "All right.
Unconsciously his manner had the arrogance of strength and power to do as he wished, which belongs to healthy young males. "N-o, no-o!" She drew a sharp breath "o' no good there! Dim shoot yo'. Yo' no go! Ah-h I sorry I tellum yo' now. Bad mans, him. I watch, I take care him no shoot. Him shoot, mebbyso I shoot!"
Peppajee looked meaningly at his bandages. "No can watchum." "Well, but you could tell somebody else to watch him. I think he do bad thing to the Harts. You like Harts. You tell somebody to watch Saunders." "Indians pikeway ketchum fish. Come back, mebbyso tellum watchum."
He glanced challengingly across the table at Wally, whose grin was growing rather pronounced. "Huh. Mebbyso you boss all same this ranch?" Peppajee retorted sourly. "Mebbyso Peacefu' tellum, him no likum." Peaceful, thus drawn into the discussion, cleared his throat again. "Wel-l-l WE don't cuss much before the women," he admitted apologetically "We kinda consider that men's talk.
Yo' lettum come. Yo' mebbyso makum go. Me no care." "I see. Well, maybe you're right." He tightened the reins, and rode away, the tight little wad of paper still hidden in his palm. When he was quite out of sight from the camp and jogging leisurely down the hot trail, he unfolded it carefully and looked at it long.
Peaceful, coming out half an hour after with Baumberger at his heels, found him so and made a movement to sit down beside him. But Peppajee rose and stalked majestically to the gate, then turned and confronted the two. "I talk yo'. Mebbyso no talk Man-with-big-belly." He waited impassively. "All right, Jim." Peaceful turned apologetically toward his guest.
"Yo' thinkum Good Injun love yo', mebbyso." Hagar's witch-grin was at its malevolent widest. Her black eyes sparkled with venom. "Yo' heap fool. Good Injun go all time Squaw-talk-far-off. Speakum glad word. Good Injun ka-a-ay bueno. Love Squaw-talk-far-off. No love yo'. Speakum lies, yo'. Makum yo' heap cry all time. Makeum yo' heart bad."
"Yo' eyes sick," said Peppajee, and grinned sardonically. "Yo' eyes see all time Squaw-with-sun-hair. Fillum yo' eyes, yo' see notting. Yo' catchum squaw, bimeby mebbyso see plenty mo'. Me no catchum sick eye. Mebbyso me see heap plenty." "What you see, you all time watchum Baumberger?"
Squaw Rachel ketchum bad heart along yo'. Heap cry all time. No sleepum, no eatum all time heap sad. Ketchum bad spirit, mebbyso. Ketchum debbil. Sun go 'way, ketchum knife, go Hagar wikiup. Killum Hagar so." He thrust out his arm as one who stabs. "Killum himself so." He struck his chest with his clenched fist. "Hagar heap dead. Rachel heap dead. Kay bueno. Mebbyso yo' heap bad medicine. Yo' go."
Peppajee removed the pipe, his eyes still upon his ankle. "Plenty blood come, mebbyso." To make sure, however, he kneaded the swollen flesh about the wound, thus accelerating slightly the red drip.
