We was in hope they'd git into a wrangle themselves, and swaller each other, and I can tell you they came mighty nigh it. "Just as it begun to look as if it was goin' that way, one of their chiefs walked forward, swingin' a dirty rag on the end of his ramrod as a flag of truce. Kit looked at him very closely, and then exclaimed that it was Quizto, a great rival of Valo-Velasquiz.
The beauty of it all was that Quizto was a friend all his life to Kit Carson a regular redskin friend, who was ready to scalp all his brothers and sisters if they tried to harm him and when he came to learn that Kit was treed, he swore that he'd burn at the stake any Injun that laid a straw in his way. "This made a time, and, as I's tellin' you, the biggest kind of a fight.
"When Quizto come forward with his flag of truce, he called out to Kit and told him that he was at liberty to go wherever he chose without harm; but as Valo-Velasquiz would be so disappointed, he thought Carson would turn over his friend, who wasn't of much account, that they might have the pleasure of torturing him to death. That was lovely for me, and you ought to have heard Kit laugh.
He told Quizto that he couldn't do that both would go or stay together. That made another wrangle, but the friendship of the chief to Carson saved the lives of us both. He wouldn't consent that the guide should run the least risk, and they told us to come down and clear out.
Old Valo-Velasquiz and a dozen of his warriors tried to sneak along after us, but we was as well mounted as they, and we rode into Santa Fe without tradin' rifle shots with any of 'em. That was a strange thing, but," added the scout, significantly, "I don't think you've got any Quizto among them skunks down there."
