His fam'ly picks the Saucy Willow out; but it's mighty likely he signs up the lady to some discreet member of his outfit before ever they goes in to make the play. "Saucy Willow for a savage is pretty pretty as a pinto hoss. Her parent, old Strike Axe, is a morose but common form of Osage, strong financial, with a big bunch of cattle an' more'n two hundred ponies.
"I don't think they will, offer any harm," Jack, alluding, of course, to the squaw and the warrior. I suspect he is an Osage." "Yaw dot ish vot he tolds me," said Otto carefully weighing his words. "What else did he tell you? But, first of all, let me know how you came to be his guest." Thereupon the German related, in his own fashion, the story which long since became familiar to the reader.
Deerfoot hurried on with a speed that was almost reckless, for that marvelous intuition seemed to whisper that the crisis was near. His friends could not be far off, and the question of safety or danger must be speedily settled. Just beyond the clearing, while hastening forward, he caught, the glow of the fire shining through the rents and crevices of the shabby skin of the Osage wigwam.
If he does thought the boy, "I'll raise my gun first, and he will understand what that means." After his first surprised stare, he swung his head back to its former position and slowly smoked his pipe as before. Jack Carleton made up his mind on the moment that his true course was to carry out his first idea that is, to act as though there was no doubt of the friendship of the Osage.

The greatest luxury they met with on their return to the abode of civilized man, was bread, not having tasted any for nearly a year. Their stay at Fort Osage was but short. On re-embarking they were furnished with an ample supply of provisions by the kindness of Lieutenant Brownson, and performed the rest of their voyage without adverse circumstance.
"The mulberry tree," continued their governess, "belongs to the bread-fruit family, but the other members of this remarkable family, except the Osage orange, are found only in foreign countries. The bread-fruit tree itself, the fig, the Indian fig, or banyan tree, and the deadly upas tree, are all relations of the mulberry."
The Osage, the Neosho, and the Fort Hindman promptly followed her down the chute, but the other six gunboats and the two tugs were still imprisoned above by the sudden sinking of the swift rushing waters; the jaws of danger, for an instant relaxed, had once more shut tightly on the prey. Doubt and gloom took the place of exultation.
"You're getting to be the best fellow at tumbling I ever saw," said Jack, suppressing, as well as he could, his laughter. "Dot ish so," assented the victim, too good-natured to find fault after his fortunate escape. By this time, they were so far from the Osage lodge that very little could be seen of the interior, and they turned round and walked side by side.
