They would lay the matter before the council fire of Sintogaliska, he who had ruled the Brulés since first the white tents of the soldiers gleamed along the Platte Sintogaliska who never lied. And this too was jeered and flouted. Sintogaliska, indeed! Sintogaliska was a traitor, an old woman whom the white father had bought with beads and candy.

Let us go to him who never broke a promise or told a lie and he will right us. Let us go back to Sintogaliska to Spotted Tail." But the agent said he had no authority.
And yet the great war-chief of the Brulés Sintogaliska Spotted Tail, the white man's friend, gave solemn warning not to trust the Ogallallas. "Red Cloud's heart is bad," he said. "He and his people are moving from the reservations to the mountains. They mean trouble."
The only Indians whose condition was not made materially worse as a result of this ebullition were the Brulé band of Two Lance, who had taken advantage of the general confusion to slip away to their old head chief Sintogaliska.
As youth he had more than once found favor in the dark eyes that looked coldly on fiercer, fonder claimants, and one girl of the Ogallallas had turned from her kith and kin, spurned more than one red lover to seek the young trader when he left the reservation to build his own nest in the Medicine Bow, and they told a story as pathetic as that of the favorite daughter of old Sintogaliska, chief of the Brulé Sioux, who pined and died at Laramie when she heard that the soldier she loved had come back from the far East with a pale-faced bride.
