"If it's as long as the pup's, why, give us only a mile or two at first, and the rest to-morrow." "I was goin' to name him 'Aborigineezer," Jim admitted, somewhat sheepishly. "But he ain't no Piute Injun, so I can't." "Hard-hearted ole sea-serpent!" ejaculated Field. "No wonder he looks like cryin'."
These children of the Piute brave never mature. They do not take their places in the histories or the school readers of our common country. The Piute wears a bright red lap-robe over his person, and generally a stiff Quaker hat, with a leather band. His hair is very thick, black and coarse, and is mostly cut off square in the neck, by means of an adz, I judge, or possibly it is eaten off by moths.
This zone of rim merged into another of strange contrast, the sloping red stream of sand which flowed from the wall of the canyon. Piute swung the flock up to the left into an amphitheatre, and there halted. The sheep formed a densely packed mass in the curve of the wall. Dave Naab galloped back toward August and Hare, and before he reached them shouted out: "The waterhole's plugged!"
Gathering up my tools from among them, the monkey-wrench seems to have found favor in the eyes of a wrinkled-faced brave, who, it seems, is a chief. He hands the wrench over with a smile that is meant to be captivating, and points at it as I am putting it back into the bag, and grunts, " Ugh. Piute likum. Piute likum!"
"I don't know. To be truthful, I have an idea it's bad temper and lack of patience. Just wait till you see this Navajo go at Silvermane!" After Mescal and Piute drove down the sheep, Jack accompanied Naab to the corral. "I've brought up your saddle," said Naab, "and you can put it on any mustang here." What a pleasure it was to be in the saddle again, and to feel strength to remain there!
But one glance at Joe's face changed all that to a sudden numbness, a sinking of his heart. "What is it?" he queried. "Look there!" exclaimed the Mormon. Shefford's quick eye caught sight of horses and men down the valley. He saw several Indians and three or four white men. They were making camp. "Who are they?" demanded Shefford. "Shadd and some of his gang. Reckon that Piute told the news.
"And first of all fork those guns over. You're making the air smell of sulphur." "Get back! I'm bad, I tell ye!" "You, bad; you cheap Piute from Rhode Island!" sniffed Tom contemptuously. Reaching forward, quick as a flash, Reade twisted a revolver from the fellow's left hand. "Now, pass me the other," continued Tom. "If you don't I'll wring that wooden head of yours from your neck!
"So the little feller said nobody wanted him, did he?" asked the blacksmith. "Well, I wouldn't mind his stayin' 'round the shop. Where do you s'pose he come from first? And painted like a little Piute Injun! No wonder he's a scared little tike." "I ain't the one which scares him," announced a man whose hair, beard, and eyes all stuck out amazingly.
I have one brother left in the world, Fay Mullen, and he is out in Piute Pass in the Rockies grubbing for gold. I am going out to join him for I know the only way I can forget my grief and get hold of myself once more is to bury myself in the wilderness. Fay has sent me a bag of double eagles to pay my expenses west. That is all the money I have in the world. I am not going to use it.
Today at noon I would like to have gone up on the grass in Union Square and taken my shoes off. Why didn't I? Not because of the police but Grundy. Now a Piute Indian woman could have done it. Her stockings too. A Piute Indian woman when she's tired she sits down right in the street, right where she's tired. But you and I, when we are weary we may sigh "Wish I could sit down."
