It's his kids an' his wife. Mackinaw! It makes me sick. It does sure. Here's us fellers without a care to our souls, while that pore sucker's jest strugglin' an' strugglin' an' everythin's wrong with him wrong as oh, hell!" For once Sandy forgot his malicious jibe at the loafer's expense. And Toby, too, forgot his pleasantry.
The person answered him, "That is Wind Sucker's heart." Then Kut-o-yis´ spoke to all the living and said to them, "You who still draw a little breath try to move your heads in time to the song that I shall sing; and you who are still able to move stand up on your feet and dance. Take courage now; we are going to dance to the ghosts."
There came no response. Then he turned to the fish. John Ball wished them to be friends, and he had brought this offering! In the firelight Rod saw that it was a curious looking, dark-colored fish, covered with small scales that were almost black. It was the size of a large trout, and yet it was not a trout. The head was thick and heavy, like a sucker's, and yet it was not a sucker.
He went in, and there he saw a fearful sight. The ground was white as snow with the bones of those who had died. There were bodies with flesh on them; some were just dead, and some still living. He spoke to a living person, and asked, "What is that hanging down above us?" The person answered that it was Wind Sucker's heart. Take courage now, we are going to have the ghost dance."
Then Kut-o-yis´, with his knife, cut a hole between Wind Sucker's ribs, and he and all those who were able to move crawled out through the hole. He said to those who could still walk that they should go and tell their people to come here, to get the ones still alive but unable to travel. To some of these people that he had freed he said, "Where are there any other people?
I caught a glimpse of the sucker's leather, and gave Bill the office to raise him about $4,000. Bill then said, "I'll just raise you $3,000 if it breaks me." The young one then turned to me and asked if I would hold the money.
He told the Captain it was all foolishness in trying to keep those gamblers from winning a sucker's money, for they could make a sucker whisper or do anything they wanted him to do; so that made two good men out of the Captain and the clerk, for they never interfered with our innocent games after that, and we made many a dollar on that boat.
Then Kut-o-yis´ tied his knife, point upward, to the top of his head and began to dance, singing the ghost song, and all the others danced with him; and as he danced up and down he kept springing higher and higher into the air, and the point of his knife cut Wind Sucker's heart and killed him.
Joy-ridin' at night with a hatful of diamonds is my idea of a sucker's amusement. Of course, we won't 'get it' " "Of course! One never does." "Sure! But if we should, there's just one thing to do." "Indeed?" Gray was pleasantly inquisitive, but it was plain that he suffered no apprehensions. "And that is ?" "Sit tight and take your medicine." "I never take medicine."
Have We Got Lots of it? Ask Us! How does that hit you for advertising matter? Form a stock corporation; get a picture of a Philippine buffalo; and sell stock for all the money a sucker's got. Of course there aren't any water buffalos here; but neither is there any land; and that doesn't keep them from selling it just the same." "There is land here under the water." "Yes.
