Trust to their honor," repeated Hank, with all the scorn he could throw into voice and manner; "as if they knowed what it means." "I know from what you have said that Tozer and Motoza are cunning, but " In order to receive all the warmth possible, Jack Dudley was sitting within the cavern and facing outward, while his companion faced him, with his back toward the plateau and mountains beyond.
I'll show him this revolver, and he'll know it belongs to the youngster. That will be all the proof he'll ask. The rest will come easy; and, Motoza, you and I will be rich." There was an emphasis in this declaration that was convincing to the dusky partner in crime. He nodded his head and made no further protest. Evidently he was under the influence of his white ally.
"I suspect Motoza has the tenderfoot in hiding somewhere, where there's no chance of his getting away or of any of his friends finding him." "What does the scamp mean by doing that?" "He must have had an idea that the father of the Greenwood boy has enough money to pay a good sum to recover him unharmed." "That's a new scheme!
"I have something to say, Hank, and it's about them young tenderfeet: I've seen Motoza." "When?" "This morning." "Did you give him my message?" "Every word of it, as I received it from Bok-kar-oo; I made it as strong as I could." "You couldn't make it any too strong; how did he take it?"
"If Jim told you that, which I don't believe he done, he told you what ain't so." "But the father of the other boy the one that's missing he's rich too, ain't he?" "I don't know nothing 'bout it; what are you driving at? Bill, you know that my 'pinion of you is 'bout the same as it is of that tramp Motoza, so, if you've got anything to say to me, out with it! I hain't any time to fool away."
Gin'rally it's easy to tell from the dress, paint and style of an Injin what his tribe or totem is, but there's nothing of the kind 'bout Motoza to guide you. I think he's a Sioux." "I understood those red men live further to the eastward." "So they do; but Motoza has wandered from his people.
He managed with some trouble to make Fred understand he was to climb up the ledge, and he followed so deftly that the prisoner was given no chance to try to prevent him. A minute after they stood side by side, Motoza struck a match, and his captive had a glimpse of the cavern which has already been described. Here, then, was the end of the journey.
Motoza would have lacked ordinary perception had he failed to see that the boys were friends. What impulse led him to do what he did it would be hard to explain, but without making any response to the remark of Jack he drew his knife, stooped over the carcass, and dextrously cut two large pieces from the haunches.
What I'm driving at is to knock out of your head any idee that this Motoza that you let up on last night thinks any more of you for it. It's t'other way. He despises you fur a coward, and if he ever gits the chance he'll prove what I say is true."
If the youth was right, the time of his attempt to ascend the gorge, with the exception of the darkness, could not have been more favorable, for Motoza was absent, and it was hardly to be supposed that his place had been taken by Tozer or anyone else. What a happy meeting it would be if the elder could find the younger!
