Captain Oliver has been telling me about these bucks that are degraded; and I don't believe that, even if this fellow spoke, the rest of the tribe would treat with us through him." "That's probably true." "They've made a squaw of him, sir." Deep humiliation instantly showed in the pariah's eyes and posture.
Educated in the belief that the utterance of the abhorred name of Brentano, within the precincts of "Elm Bluff," would produce an effect very similar to the ringing of some Tamil Pariah's bell, before the door of a Brahman temple, Beryl wisely kept silent; and soon forgot her forebodings, in the contemplation of the supreme loveliness of the prospect before her.
"Make it ready for the cutting-board," she bade, and threw the piece of hard stone for the fleshing so that it split the pariah's cheek. Squaw Charley took up the hide and dug in the snow for the stone. A young warrior was lingering at the lodge flap, blowing spirals of kinnikinick. He burst into a laugh. "Ho! ho!" he taunted. "The squaw of a squaw drudges to-day. Ho! ho!"
Every man can, at one time or another, put himself upon his good behavior. Underneath he may be a fine rascal." "Not this one," smiling. "He warned me against himself a dozen times, but that served to make me stubborn. The fault of my conduct," acidly, "was not in making this pariah's acquaintance. It lies in the fact that I had nothing to do with the other passengers, from choice.
You understand Jane insists. Take your pound, I call the first rehearsal for Monday. Thenceforward Henry lived largely in the world of the theatre, a pariah's life, the life almost of a poor relation. Doxey appeared to enjoy the existence; it was Doxey's brief hour of bliss.
'Out of the weakness of the flesh he wept under the tortures of the sun-dance. So that's the cause of his trouble! What did they do to you, Red Moon?" To reply, Squaw Charley quickly divested himself of the calico waist and turned about. And Colonel Cummings, uttering his horror, traced with tender finger the ragged, ghastly seams that lined the pariah's back. "Muscles torn loose," he said.
The thought, however, was unjust. The voices began to drop astern, and to come in louder confusion with the breeze. But at this point Flounce, the terrier, spoiled all by whipping up beside the lowdah, and furiously barking. Hers was no pariah's yelp: she barked with spirit, in the King's English. For answer, there came a shout, a sharp report, and a bullet that ripped through the matting sail.
The Indian nodded. "Dakota?" Swiftly, the pariah's whole aspect altered. A moment before, satisfied as to food, happy and comfortable, he had squatted down in his blanket. But, now, his shoulders bent, his chin sank to his breast, his eyes grew dull and sullen. "Were you in the Mauvaises Terres?" queried the evangelist. Squaw Charley shook his head. "On the Powder?" There was a silent assent.
Hate flashed across the pariah's face, like forked lightning on a dark sky. "One of Sitting Bull's warriors," answered David Bond; "and a good man." "Uncapapa, eh?" said Matthews. "I savvy their lingo." He plucked at Squaw Charley's dress. "Our warrior wears fine garments," he jeered, speaking in the Indian tongue.
At last, rising, he drew his blanket close about him, put the grain-sack over his tangled hair and, with a parting look toward Dallas and the evangelist, went slowly out. Perfect quiet followed the pariah's going. His recital of the conflict, dumb though it was, had powerfully stirred the little audience.
