Ruth gathered her necessary books and script; and likewise got Wonota. Then they boarded the launch and Willie took them up the river to a tiny islet not far from the Kingdom of Pipes, after all. "I don't see anybody moving over there," Helen remarked, as Willie landed them at the islet selected. She was looking at the island on which Ruth had had her adventure with the King of the Pipes.
The throne room scene in Paris, which was yet to be photographed, was too delicate a matter to put in the hands of any double. Wonota was herself even in this picture she was a distinct personality and she must be shown to the very end of the last reel and the last "fade-out." The thoughts caused Ruth to feel very, very sober.
"What a romantic puss you are," laughed Ruth. "Well, those cracks in the rock yonder look so dark and dismal. And there might be dark-skinned men with red bandanas bound around their heads, and knives in their belts, along with the rest of the scenery, Ruthie," complained Helen. Wonota stared at her. "Do you mean, Miss Helen, that there are cholos are greasers in these woods?
Then through the megaphone: "Eyes on the camera, Wonota! Your lover is in the water you must save him! Nobody else can reach him There! He's going down again! Bend forward look at him at the camera! That's it! When he appears again that log is going to hit him if you do not swerve the canoe in between the log and him There! With your paddle! Shoot the canoe in now!"
"Now I mean to see Wonota again and try to encourage her to throw in her fortunes with us. At least, I hope to get her away from that disgusting Dakota Joe." Later Jennie teasingly suggested: "You should have taken up with his offer, Ruthie. You could have had free passes to the show in several towns." "I don't much wish to see the show again," Ruth declared.
"And I am just as anxious as I can be to see you make a star actress out of her, Ruthie." "It will be Mr. Hammond and the director who do that." "I guess you'll be in it," said Helen promptly. "If it wasn't for your story they would not be able to feature Wonota." "Anyway," went on Jennie, "I want to go West with you, Ruth and so does Helen. Don't you, Nell?"
Hammond when he came up to Cheslow and the Red Mill to discuss "Brighteyes" with its youthful author. He had come, too, to get a glimpse of Wonota in the flesh. One of the first things Ruth had done when the Indian girl came under her care was to take Wonota to Cheslow and have the best photographer of the town take several "stills" of the Indian girl.
"Well, Bilby was ahead of us there. Somehow, he got backing and bought the picture and dramatic rights to the tales outright. He can find somebody besides Wonota to play Running Deer." "He seems to have set his heart on our Wonota." "Yes. He did make Totantora a whacking good offer. I must admit he did. I could not begin to see such a price for the girl's services. And on a mere speculation.
But it was Dakota Joe, in his sudden panic, who came to disaster. He had always been afraid of Wonota. She was a dead shot, and he believed that she would not shrink from killing him. Now it appeared that the Indian girl held his life in her hands. The muzzle of her weapon looked to Dakota Joe at that moment as big as the mouth of a cannon! He could see her brown finger curled upon the trigger.
"Somebody has said that the fashion-chasing women must be daughters of Lilith," put in Jennie. "Never mind. Wonota likes pretty frocks. You could see that easily enough. And although some of the Osage girls may follow the fashions in the mail order catalogs, I believe Wonota has been brought up very simply. 'Old-fashioned, you may say." "Fancy!" responded Jennie. "An old-fashioned' Indian."
