She is a ward of the Government, as you perhaps know. It seems she is held under a false form of contract to a moving picture corporation, and Wonota's friends have applied to the Bureau of Indian Affairs to look into the matter and get at the rights of the business."
But he did not drive back toward Cheslow; instead he went up the river road, and Ruth Fielding remembered that Wonota's father was stopping at the country inn which was only three or four miles up that road. "But nothing can happen because of that, of course," the girl thought, as she entered the passage that led to the farmhouse from the mill.
Her eyes, now that she was sure the foreman was safe on the other bank, were fixed upon the bow of Wonota's canoe, just coming into sight behind the ware of foaming water and upreared, charging timbers. It was a great sight a wonderful sight. No real freshet could have been more awful to behold. Mr. Hooley's feat was a masterstroke!
On that overhanging shelf occurred the struggle between the white lover of Brighteyes and the Indian who had trailed him and the girl to this wild spot. Mr. Grand, in spite of Wonota's scorn of him, was a handsome man and made as fine an appearance in the out-of-door garments the part called for as he did in the dress-suit to which he was so much addicted.
How my father, Chief Totantora, would stare could he see me in those beautiful things. Wonota's white sisters are doing too much for her. There is no way by which she can repay their kindness." "Say!" said Jennie bluntly, "if you want to pay Ruth Fielding, you just go ahead and become a real movie star a real Indian star, Wonota.
"Let's get Willie and the Gem and go somewhere with Wonota. You've all day to hammer at her. Get your continuity and try to get it into Wonota's head that she is deeply and desperately in love with Grand." In spite of Helen's brusk way of speaking, Ruth decided that her idea might be well worth following. Helen took some knitting and a parasol and a hamper.
What do you hear from your New York dressmaker about Wonota's new outfit, Jennie?" "It will be shipped right out here to Clearwater before long," announced the plump girl, with new satisfaction. "Won't Wonota be surprised?" "And delighted!" added Helen, showing satisfaction too.
I am glad we are going far away from him." "Yes, he is not a nice neighbor," agreed Mr. Hammond. "I hope Wonota will repay us for all the bother we have had with Dakota Joe." "It seems too bad. Of course, it is not Wonota's fault," said Ruth. "But if we had not come across her if I had not met her, I mean you would not have been annoyed in this way, Mr. Hammond."
Perhaps one less stoical, with less endurance, than an Indian, and an Indian, like Chief Totantora, trained in an earlier, hardier day, could not have done it. But Wonota's father did succeed, and after he reached the American lines he became attached in some indefinite capacity to Captain Tom Cameron's regiment. "When I first saw the poor old chap he was little more than a skeleton.
"What girl's father?" demanded the visitor, and now he seemed surprised. "Wonota's. Chief Totantora is the name he goes by. It strikes me that he ought to have a deal more to say about the girl than any Government department." "Why, he's nothing but a blanket Injun!" ejaculated Bilby, with disgust. "Mebbe so," rejoined Uncle Jabez. He still remains the girl's father."
