I smiled on reading the paper, and, looking up, found the chief's eyes intently fixed upon mine with an expression of the most earnest inquiry.
At this moment the Comanche rode up. Bringing his horse abruptly to a stand-still, he extended a very dirty hand, ornamented with finger-nails that closely resembled the talons of an eagle. "Me Senaco, good Injun," he exclaimed, in pretty fair Spanish. "Of course you be," replied Jerry, in English. "Whoever seed a bad Injun, ef you let him tell his story?
I told him the paper was not as good as it might be, whereupon he destroyed it. Five years after this interview I met Senaco again near the same place. He recognized me at once, and, much to my surprise, pronounced my name quite distinctly. A circumstance which happened in my interview with this Indian shows their character for diplomatic policy.
