Somehow during the struggle Vampa became unmasked and, in the prevailing obscurity, Annunziata naturally imagined that the face suddenly uncovered and as quickly masked again was that of her suitor, the so-called Tonio.
Bentley had told him of the discovery of the revolver and the universal connection of 'Tonio with the attempted murder, and Harris bowed his head wearily upon his hands: "I will not believe it," was all he said. A sergeant and six men had gone with despatches and orders to find the field column along the Black Mesa.
And now, with the agency interpreter at his left and the agent himself seated among the officials, an eager and nervous listener, 'Tonio strode forward a pace or two, halted, looked calmly round upon the circle of expectant faces, then, the observed of every eye, the object of absorbed attention, with occasional use of a Spanish phrase, but, as a rule, speaking only in the dialect of the Apache, the tall chieftain began.
"Pity you hadn't spared yourself and not spoiled the pie," thought Stannard as he looked about him over the scene of desolation. The men were snapping their tin mugs and the refilled canteens to the saddle rings. The captain rode over to 'Tonio, a kindly light in his blue-gray eyes. He whipped off the right gauntlet and held forth his hand. "No Apache-Mohave!" said he stoutly. "Apache Tonto. Si!

'Tonio answered by telling Lieutenant Willett not to step on some moccasin tracks, and the lieutenant surely couldn't have understood him, for he grew very angry and but, indeed, general, it's more than I know that I've been telling "
We've got some flags and torches somewhere, but I believe that " "I don't mean that, sir. No one with Turner would understand if we had. I mean smoke signals Indian." "No," said Archer slowly. "No one but Indians could say what they meant, even if any one here knew their confounded code. Do you?" "I know enough at least to call 'Tonio; and unless he is dead or spirited away, he'll answer.
The official has of course only done his duty, but I told him at once that he was on the wrong scent ..." Did you? thought Tonio Kröger. The officer did not seem to agree entirely; he made some objection about "individial" and "papers." But Mr.
'Tonio has intercepted messengers between Turner and me, and killed, I believe, at least one messenger. You must be patient or you will throw yourself into a fever and set you back a month. We've simply got to act on the defensive, guard the post and the women until relief comes.
But Stannard, as we have seen, had referred back the question, whereat the doctor, defrauded of his game, yawned languidly and turned over the matter to 'Tonio, thus dragging Harris, all unwilling, into the tide of talk, and presently out of his hammock. Next thing noticed of him he had disappeared.
