The Hishtanyi Chayan stopped Kauaitshe, and asked him, "Have any of my brethren the yaya suffered?" Tyope's heart throbbed, and he turned his face away, so fearful was he of the reply. "The Shkuy Chayan," replied Kauaitshe, in his simple manner, "is dead. An arrow entered his eye." Tyope shivered; misfortune crowded upon misfortune. He could no longer resist inquiring. Panting, he asked,
The Shkuy Chayan and the Koshare Naua had succeeded in so inveigling the principal shaman that he ordered that all the men from the Water clan, and those from Shyuamo with few exceptions, should stay at home for the protection of the women and children. That included Hayoue, of whose abilities and popularity Tyope was afraid, and saved the Turquoise people from the casualties of war.
Shyuote did not dare to inquire of him further than to ask a very insignificant question, namely, who the man was that had called. Okoya answered readily, for this query was almost a relief, a diversion which enabled him to subdue his agitation. "Tyope Tihua," he said hastily, "wanted to know if I had seen any mountain sheep. I told him that I had only seen bear-tracks.
The scouts were called in with all haste and reinforced, especially the body that faced the Queres in the north. At the time Tyope lay down to rest, his forces were surrounded everywhere except on the east. Everything was ready for the Tehuas to begin their attack upon the unsuspecting foe at daybreak. The change from night to daylight in New Mexico is by no means sudden.
The Indian was unknown to him, and Tyope said eagerly, "The badger must be hiding near where the fire is. We should cut off his trail to the north. Nacaytzusle went too far east; there" he pointed toward the northeast "is where he ought to stand." Tyope spoke the Navajo language fluently. "Thou art right," said the other; "go thither, and we will be closer together."
Like all the other youth, he received the rude education which was imparted at the estufas. He showed considerable aptitude for mastering songs and prayers, after once acquiring the language of his captors. He also watched the wizards as often as opportunity was afforded, and learned many a trick of jugglery. Tyope was struck by the youth's aptitude for such arts and practices.
Suddenly the barking sounded much nearer, and Tyope moved toward the place whence the sound issued, brushing past the shrubs. Reaching a clear space, he saw before him the form of a big wolf. The animal was standing immovable, his tail drooping, his head horizontal. "Are you alone?" Tyope whispered. The apparition or beast, whatever it might be, seemed not to excite the least apprehension.
"Hachshtze," Say said in a tone of serious reminder, "speak not thus. I know that you and Tyope are good to each other. I know that he gives you advice, and I know too" her voice rose and grew solemn "that you have told him many things which neither Tzitz hanutsh nor Tanyi hanutsh like him to know." "Tyope is wise." "And he is also very bad," the younger brother exclaimed. This made Zashue angry.
His body had been shot through and through. However great his surprise at that completely unexpected attack, and however disastrous it must be to all his plans, Tyope not only did not lose his head, but rather seemed to grow cool and self-possessed, and an expression of sinister quiet settled on his features. Yet he was internally far from being at ease or hopeful. He blew his whistle.
Her ready reply to his mistrustful inquiry had allayed suspicions as to her guilt for the time being, but on the other hand he felt strong misgivings that she had found out something, either of what the Koshare said or thought concerning her, or about the attempt which Tyope and he had failed in.
