As they beheld the hated settlement, the heretofore orderly ranks showed a disposition to depart from the steady advance and rush the shanties. Willetts, the Bowlders, Parker, Ross, Schofield, and fifty others did, in fact, break away and set a sharp pace up the slope. Watts tried to call them back. "What's the use your gettin' killed?" he shouted.
Shefford asked no more questions and his host vouchsafed no more information on that score. The conversation lagged. Then Shefford inquired about the Indian girl and learned that she lived up the valley somewhere. Presbrey had never seen her before Willetts came with her to Red Lake. And this query brought out the fact that Presbrey was comparatively new to Red Lake and vicinity.
And these raw emotions, new to him, were difficult to control. "You can't take the girl," he replied, when the other had ceased. "Not without her brother's consent." "I will take her!" Shefford threw him out of the hogan and strode after him. Willetts had stumbled. When he straightened up he was white and shaken.
Henry Tibbs Willetts, an attempt at rococo decoration which cannot fail to sadden the passer-by." "Miss Sherwood of Rouen, whom Miss Briscoe knew at the Misses Jennings' finishing-school in New York, is a guest of Judge Briscoe's household." Fisbee's items were written in ink; and there was a blank space beneath the last. At the bottom of the page something had been scribbled in pencil.
She will wait in the shadow for me, and live in the great mountain that is my home, and for ever step behind me on the trail." "You will kill Willetts?" demanded Shefford. "The Navajo will not seek the missionary." "But if you meet him you'll kill him?" "Bi Nai, would Nas Ta Bega kill after it is too late? What good could come? The Navajo is above revenge."
Joe Lake came to Shefford and said, "Withers told me you had a mix-up with a missionary at Red Lake." "Yes, I regret to say," replied Shefford. "About Glen Naspa?" "Yes, Nas Ta Bega's sister." "Withers just mentioned it. Who was the missionary?" "Willetts, so Presbrey, the trader, said." "What'd he look like?"
"I insinuate nothing. I merely state what led to my acting as I did." "Principles of religion, sir?" "No. A man's principles." Withers interposed in his blunt way, "Bishop, did you ever see Glen Naspa?" "No." "She's the prettiest Navajo in the country. Willetts was after her, that's all." "My dear man, I can't believe that of a Christian missionary. We've known Willetts for years.
The rotten egg put one over on you. See? I'm the rotten egg the rotten egg scout. I should bother my head!" "Go back and pick up those stones, Willetts," said Tom quietly, "and pile them up down by the woodshed." "You didn't even tell them I saved that little bird, did you?" Hervey said, giving way to his feelings of recklessness and desperation. "What do you suppose I care?
"So that's your game. Well, Glen Naspa came to my school of her own accord and she will say so." "Why will she? Because you blinded the simple Indian girl.... Willetts, I'll waste little more time on you." And swift and light as a panther Shefford leaped upon the man and, fastening powerful hands round the thick neck, bore him to his knees and bent back his head over the rail.
"Tracks are my middle name, Alf." "Now I can prove I'm a second-class scout by my badge, can't I?" "That's what you can. But you've got it pinned on the wrong side, Alf. Here, let me fix it for you." "Everybody'll be sure to see it, won't they?" "That's what they will." "Hervey Willetts, he's a hero, isn't he?" "You bet." "I'd like to be like him, I would." "He's kind of reckless, Alf.
