They are afraid of him, but he's welcome just the same. Perhaps everybody knows him. It'd be like him to ride into Kayenta. But, Nas Ta Bega, I've got to look out for him, because Withers says he's after me." "Bi Nai wears a scar that is proof," said the Indian. "Then it must be he found out long ago I had a little money." "It might be.
Dal was reading the first verse when she came. "Listen to this, Bella," he said triumphantly: "There was a fat artist named Jas, Who cruelly called his friends nas. When, altho' shut up tight, He broke out over night With a rash that is maddening, he clas." Then he caught sight of Bella's face as she stood in the doorway, and stopped. "Jim is delirious!" she announced tragically.
It was a narrow slant of ledge, doubling back parallel with the course already traversed. A sharp warning cry from Nas Ta Bega scarcely prepared Shefford for hoarse yells, and then a rattling rifle-volley from the top of the slope opposite. Bullets thudded on the cliff, whipped up red dust, and spanged and droned away. Fay Larkin screamed and staggered back against the wall.
It could not be Withers, for the trader was in Durango at that time. Shefford thought of Willetts and Shadd. "Who's coming?" he asked low of the Indian. Nas Ta Bega pointed down the trail without speaking. Shefford peered through the white dim haze of starlight and presently he made out moving figures. Horses, with riders a string of them one two three four five and he counted up to eleven.
"When are you going back to Kayenta?" went on Shefford. "Hard to say. We'll have to call off our hunt. Nas Ta Bega is here, too." "Yes, I've been with him." The older Mormons drew aside, and then Joe mentioned the fact that he was half starved. Shefford went with him into another clapboard room, which was evidently a dining-room. There were half a dozen men at the long table.
She will wait in the shadow for me, and live in the great mountain that is my home, and for ever step behind me on the trail." "You will kill Willetts?" demanded Shefford. "The Navajo will not seek the missionary." "But if you meet him you'll kill him?" "Bi Nai, would Nas Ta Bega kill after it is too late? What good could come? The Navajo is above revenge."
Nax is darkness; Narl, death; Naria, sin or evil. Nas an uttermost condition of sin and evil corruption. In writing, they deem it irreverent to express the Supreme Being by any special name. He is symbolized by what may be termed the heiroglyphic of a pyramid, /\. In prayer they address Him by a name which they deem too sacred to confide to a stranger, and I know it not.
But whether the Mormon's trial was one of spiritual rending or the natural physical fear of a perilous, virtually impossible venture, the fact was he was magnificent in his acceptance of it. He turned to Shefford, white, cold, yet glowing. "Nas Ta Bega believes he can take you down a canyon to the big river the Colorado. He knows the head of this canyon.
This is the third instance in which this instrument has stopt in a similar manner since she nas been in my possession, tho the first only since our departure from the River Dubois. in the two preceding cases when she was again set in motion, and her rate of going determined by a series of equal altitudes of the sun taken for that purpose, it was found to be the same precisely as that mentioned in the preliminary remarks to these observations, or 15 s & 5 tenths too slow in 24 h-as her rate of going after stoping, and begin again set in motion has in two instances proved to be the same, I have concluded, that whatever this impediment may procede from, it is not caused by any material injury which her works have sustained, and that when she is in motion, her error on mean time above stated, may be depended on as accurate.
Lake seemed to oppose him, and evidently it took vehemence and argument on Withers's part to make the Mormon tractable. But Withers won him over, and then he called Shefford to his side. "You fellows got to be good friends," he said. "You'll have charge of my pack-trains. Nas Ta Bega wants to go with you.
