I'll watchum plenty," Good Indian promised lightly, gave a glance of passing, masculine interest at the squaw who was braiding her hair, and who was young and fresh-cheeked and bright-eyed and slender, forgot her the instant his eyes left her, and made haste to return to the Malad and the girl who held all his thoughts and all his desire.
Good Indian took note of the group before it stirred to activity, and murmured anxiety over the bandaged foot of Peppajee. "Me no can watchum more, mebbyso six days. Yo' no sleepum all time yo' walk no thinkum all time squaw. Mebbyso yo' think for man-snake. Mebbyso yo' watchum," Peppajee said, as he swung slowly down from Huckleberry's back. "All right.
The veneer of white men's ways dropped from him when he entered his own wikiup, and he would not speak quickly. "Las' night mebbyso yo' watchum?" he asked, as one who holds his judgment in abeyance. "I heap fool. I no watch. I let those men come while I think of a girl. My eyes sleep." Good Indian was too proud to parry, too bitter with himself to deny.
Now he looked at Peppajee with a startled sense that he had never known him at all, and that Peppajee was not only a grimy Indian he was also a man. "Me no sabe one thing. One otha thing me sabe. Yo' no b'lieve Baumberga one frien'. Him all same snake. Them mens come, Baumberga tellum come all time. All time him try for foolum Peaceful. Yo' look out. Yo' no sleepum mo'. All time yo' watchum."
Me come ranch, me tellum Peaceful, him all time laugh, me. All time shakum head. Mebbyso thinkum I lie shont-isham!" "What more you do?" Good Indian, at least, did not laugh. "Me go camp. Me thinkum, thinkum all time. Dat man have bad heart. Kay bueno. No can sleep thinkum mebbyso do bad for Peaceful. Come ranch, stop all time dark, all time heap watchum.
Me no sabe catchum ranch all same, me watchum. Them mans heap kay bueno. Yo' bet yo' life!" A moment he stood there after he was through speaking, and then he was not there. Good Indian did not hear him go, though he had stood beside him; neither could he, catching sight of a wavering shadow, say positively that there went Peppajee.
No can see yo', mebbyso; yo' no likum bad man for se " He stepped back a pace, and let Good Indian dismount; then with a gesture he led him back into the shadow of the rock. "Well, what's the row?" Good Indian asked impatiently, and curiously as well. Peppajee spoke more hastily than was usual. "Me watchum Man-that-catchum-fish. Him hee-eeap kay bueno.
Bimeby, mebbyso man all same yo' callum Baumberga him come, look, so " He indicated, by a great craning of neck in all directions, the wariness of one who goes by stealth. "Him walk still all time, go all time ova there." He swept his arm toward the meadows. "Me go still, for watchum. Yo' come, mebbyso make heap much noise kay bueno. Dat mans, him hear, him heap scare.
