Totantora had heard all about his daughter's work in the moving picture before the party separated, and he put his mark on Mr. Hammond's contract binding himself to allow the girl to go on as already agreed. Totantora had possibly some old-fashioned Indian ideas about the treatment of squaws; but he knew the value of money.
Unless Chief Totantora shows up and asks to have her handed over to you, I calkerlate you won't get her." "See here, my man!" exclaimed Bilby, at once becoming blusterous, "you'll get into trouble with the Government if you interfere with me." "That doesn't scare me none," was the prompt reply of Jabez Potter.
"I did not know what you were hinting at I see it now. Wonota is a true redskin. We read about the stoicism of her race, but we do not realize what that means until we try to fathom an Indian's deeper feelings. "I talked with her about her father. She is very proud of him, this Totantora, as she calls him. "She is deeply, and justly, angered at that Dakota Joe Fenbrook.
Totantora, a commanding figure, and his daughter as White Fawn, the demure yet dominant princess of the Hurons, stood forth from the background of the other Indians in a graceful picture. Helen was delighted and could not help shouting to the Osage girl that she was "great" a remark which elicited a frown from the director and an admonition from Ruth.
No white girl could have flung herself into the arms of her long-lost parent with more abandon than did Wonota. And that not-withstanding the costume she wore the very pretty one sent West from the Fifth Avenue modiste's shop! Perhaps the change in his lovely daughter shocked Totantora at first, He seemed not at all sure that this was really his Wonota.
Bilby's car so close to the inn where Chief Totantora was stopping. The ride in Helen's car was enjoyable, especially for Aunt Alvirah. Being shut inside the house so much, the broader sight of the surrounding country and the now peacefully flowing Lumano River was indeed a treat.
She nodded her head gravely as she commented upon the incident that might have ended so seriously. "That Dakota Joe is bad. Chief Totantora would have sent him to the spirit land long since, had he been here. There are white men, Miss Fielding, who are much worse than any redman." "I will grant you that," sighed Ruth. "Badness is not a matter of blood, I guess.
Totantora tore through the water after the escaping motor-boat as though he, too, were propelled by a motor. And his motor was more powerful, in a short race at least, than that driving the launch in which Wonota was held prisoner. Before the men who had abducted the Osage maiden could get their boat out of the little cove, Totantora reached the stern of it.
He turned as though to set the boat adrift, but Ruth laid her hand upon his wet sleeve. "Let it alone, Totantora. I hope you will be advised by me. We will go right away from here. Instead of waiting until to-morrow, let us leave here to-night and start for the North." Wonota said something to her father in their own tongue, and he looked at Ruth more peacefully.
"When I get to work on the new picture I shall want Wonota with me. Can it be arranged?" "Surely. Her contract takes that into consideration. Unless her father appears on the scene, for the next two years Wonota is to be as much under your instruction as though she were an apprentice," and he laughed. Mention of Chief Totantora did not warn Ruth of any pending event.
