But your clan has land enough now, for many of the men of Shyuamo have gone over to Shipapu!" He dropped Tyope's hand, wiped away the tears that were forcing themselves to his eyes, and stood in silence. Not one of the bystanders moved; the Hishtanyi Chayan lifted his eyes to the sky, Tyope stared vacantly. He seemed to stagger. The delegate from the Water clan grasped his hand again, and said,
He gave a chuckle which he intended for a benevolent smile. "See," Say's husband exclaimed, turning to Tyope; "the Naua believes as I do. My wife is no " the evil word he suppressed in time. He stopped, biting his lips in embarrassment. Tyope's features moved not. He spoke to the chief of the Delight Makers as quietly and calmly as possible,
His prospective father and mother in-law appeared really a pair of exquisite scoundrels. "Are there any others?" "I don't know, still I have heard." Hayoue looked about as if afraid of some eavesdropper, "what I tell you now is only for yourself, that Shotaye is bad, very bad! After being Tyope's wife for a while, I should not be surprised if " "Does she speak to those that can do us harm?"
He even showed marked contempt for the people of the Rito, because the men performed toil which he regarded as degrading. Keeping aloof from the men's society to a certain extent, he was more attracted by the women. It was especially Mitsha Koitza, Tyope's good-looking daughter, who attracted him; and he began to pay attentions to her in a manner in keeping with his wild temperament.
Never say sanaya is doing this or that, or to-day they speak so or so at the estufa. If Tyope queries what is your yaya doing, answer, her usual work. If he inquires about what is going on in the estufa of Tanyi hanutsh, reply to him, 'Nashtio, I am only a boy, and do not know what the men talk about. To Tyope's wife say nothing but what even Shyuote might hear.
As they pointed and gesticulated to the west, north, and south, he thought that they were planning some murderous surprise for the Queres, that Shotaye was betraying her own people and conspiring with an enemy of her own stock. Fierce wrath filled his heart. Yes, Tyope's charge was true; the woman was a witch, and had Topanashka been armed he would have sought to kill her on the spot.
Their uppermost snow-fields were beginning to glisten in the light streaming up from beyond. On Tyope's left a rustling sound was heard; he turned around. One of his men was cautiously approaching. "There are Moshome in front of us." "I know it," replied the commander. "How many have you seen?" "Two." "And you saw them clearly?" "Yes, but they sneaked off." "Did they seem to come toward us?"
Then he turned homeward. The very thought of that home, however, made his heart heavy and sad. For more and more he became convinced that his mother was false to him. The assertion made by Tyope's wife that he was welcome in her house, and that Tyope would not object to his visiting there, worked another breach in the faith he was wont to place in his mother's words.
Regardless of the pain in the right hand Tyope succeeded in grasping the war-club at last. With it he directed several blows at the head of the enemy, but they were so weak that only at the third stroke did the Tehua fall. At this juncture an arrow grazed Tyope's temple.
After the boys had left, Tyope had continued to weed his corn, not with any pretence of activity or haste, but in the slow, persistent way peculiar to the sedentary Indian, which makes of him a steady though not a very profitable worker. Tyope's only implement was a piece of basalt resembling a knife, and he weeded on without interruption until the shadows of the plants extended from row to row.
