But the tse-tse fly belt lay between Beira on the coast and the boundary of the Chartered Company's possessions, and as neither oxen nor mules could live to cross this, it was necessary, in order to compete with the Cape-Buluwayo line, to build a railroad through the swamp and jungle. This road is now in operation.
'Dine! said Tse-tse; 'fighting man. And he signed to me that we must stalk him. "For an hour we slunk and crawled through the black rock that broke through the mesa like a twisty root of the mountain. At the head of Dripping Spring we smelled wood smoke. We crept along the canon rim and saw our man at the bottom of it.
Half-awake, Tse-tse would come groping to find me until he trod on one of the others by mistake, who would dream that the Dine were after him and wake the kiva with his howls. Or somebody would pinch my tail and Tse-tse would hit right and left with his pillows " "Pillows?" said Oliver. "Mats of reed or deerskin.
I had tasted blood of my master's enemies; also Kokomo was afraid, and that is an offense to me. I dropped from where I lay ... I had come to my full weight ... I think his back was broken. "It is the Way Things Are," said Moke-icha. "Kokomo had let in the Dine to kill Pitahaya to make himself chief, and he would have killed Tse-tse for finding out about it. That I saw and smelled in him.
I don't know whether they were just a hunting-party, or friends of those we followed. We dropped behind a boulder and Tse-tse counted while I lifted every scent. "'Five, he said, 'and the Finisher of the Paths of Our Lives knows how many more between us and Lasting Water!
"It was a day or two after I had learned it, that we met Willow-in-the-Wind feeding her turkey flock by the Rito as we came from hunting, and she scolded Tse-tse for making fun of Kokomo. "'It is plain, she said, 'that you are trying to get yourself elected to the Delight-Makers.
But when I found myself neglected I went back to Willow-in-the-Wind who wove wreaths for my neck, which tickled my chin, and made Tse-tse furious. "The day that the names of those who would go on the Salt Trail were given out Tse-tse's was not among them was two or three before the feast of the corn-planting and the last of the winter rains.
Tse-tse, who had heard and said more than became a young man, was both angry and frightened; therefore he boasted. "'Kokomo shall not make me a Koshare, he said; 'it will not be the first time I have carried the Council against him. "At that time I did not know so much of the Dine as that they were men.
I am very glad to hear it. And with that she marched into an inner room and did not come out again all that evening, and Tse-tse went hunting next day without me. "The next night, which was the third before the feast of planting, being lonely, I went out for a walk on the mesa. It was a clear night of wind and moving shadow; I went on a little way and smelled man.
But because it was a love-gift I ate all of it and was licking the basket-tray when Tse-tse came back. He knew the fashion of her weaving, every woman's baskets had her own mark, and as he took it from me his face changed as though something inside him had turned to water. Without a word he went down the hill to the chief's house and I after him.
