"Early enough yet, satyumishe," replied the old man quietly, and Tyame remarked, "Shyuamo dwells nearer to the uuityam than we. The Turquoise men have everything close at hand, the tapop, the place, everything, and everybody. All we have is the maseua," he added laughing, "and he is very old." The laughter became general, and Tyope said in a tone of flattery,
Under ordinary circumstances his affirmative reply might have filled her motherly heart with joy, for Mitsha's appearance had struck her fancy; but now it filled her with dismay. Nothing good to her could result from a union between her child and the daughter of Tyope.
"What may this all be about?" wondered the younger brother. The elder brother shrugged his shoulders, sighed, and rubbed his eyes; and all four kept silent. "Is it perhaps from the uuityam?" asked Hayoue; and his mother exclaimed, "Surely it is." "Then something must have occurred," continued Hayoue; and with a side-glance at his brother, "I wonder if Tyope is fasting also?"
"It is on the other side of the ravine, near the border to the left." Tyope pondered a while; then he said to the shaman, "Nashtio yaya, I think we should go more toward the east. What do you say?" "It is well," muttered the medicine-man. "Satyumishe," Tyope said to the runner, "go and tell the men to go along the ravine toward the Rio Grande until the trees become smaller.
He squatted again. The eyes of all, Topanashka's excepted, who did not for a moment divert his gaze from the chief of the Delight Makers, were fixed on Tyope. He rose and dryly said,
Tyope asked at last. "Mitsha was at the brook, and fled with the others. Nacaytzusle, the fiend, was after her to catch her, but he caught her not. Hayoue told us afterward that Okoya Tihua killed the savage just as he had overtaken the girl. Okoya is strong and good; he will become a great warrior, like sa umo the maseua. That is, if he still live."
Great was the exultation of the woman when she saw the triumph of her new friends over her own people. She was proud of this result of her craftiness and her skill. When, the engagement over, she scanned the field, looking at the dead and searching for Tyope among them in vain, her disappointment was fearful.
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.
The eyes of the young savage flamed like living coals. "Then you shall not have my child!" exclaimed Tyope. "I will get her. You may help me or not!" "I dare you to do it," Tyope hissed. Nacaytzusle looked straight at him.
Why should we give anything for that which does not help the others? It will help us, but only us and nobody else. We give nothing because we have nothing," he hissed at last, and looked at Tyope as if urging him to be firm and not to promise anything under any circumstances. Tyope remained mute; the words of the maseua appeared to leave him unmoved.
