But after the visit of Bilby to the mill she could not help but feel some little anxiety. She remembered that Dakota Joe, in whose show Wonota had once worked, had tried his best to make trouble for her and Mr. Hammond because of the Osage maiden; and this Bilby was plainly a much shrewder person than the Westerner had been. She and Helen aided Aunt Alvirah out to the car.
"And you don't seem to say much for him," put in the Western girl curiously. But Helen said nothing further on that topic. Ruth broke in, answering one of the other girls who spoke of the forthcoming picture Ruth was going to make for the Alectrion Corporation. "Of course our famous Wonota is going to be in the picture. For she is famous already.
Ruth was so sure that Wonota could be got into the moving pictures and that Mr. Hammond would be successful in making a star of the Indian girl, that that very night she sat up until the wee small hours laying out the plot of her picture story the story which she hoped to make into a really inspirational film.
With her on the river, but instructed to keep on either side and well out of the focus of the cameras, were two expert rivermen, each in a canoe. These men were on the alert to assist Wonota if, when the dam was broken, she should get into any difficulty.
"I was just about to tell you, my pretty. Wonota has gone out." "Where did she go?" and Ruth suddenly turned back, and with surprise if not exactly with a feeling of alarm. "She said she would walk up the road to see her father. She is quite fond of her father, I believe," added Aunt Alvirah, coming back with her wrap and bonnet.
"Go ahead and get acquainted with Wonota. Meanwhile I will be getting this condensed plot of the story into shape for us to talk over. I must rewrite that street scene again, I fear. And, of course, we are in a hurry?" "Always," grumbled the producer. "We must start for our Western location as soon as possible; but the New York scenes must be shot first."
"What for?" asked Helen wonderingly, yet seeing something in the expression of Ruth's face that made her more than curious. "I I feel that everything isn't right with Wonota." "Wonota!"
Aside from Wonota herself, there were few of the characters of the picture of "Brighteyes" appearing in the scenes at this point. Mr. Hammond had obtained a police permit of course, and the traffic officers and some other policemen in the neighborhood took an interest in the affair. Traffic was held back at a certain point for a few moments so that there would not be too many people in the scene.
Wonota must be in them. No "double" could be used. In the first place, the Indian girl's personality was distinct. It could not easily be matched.
"Oh, Ruth! drive the canoe ashore yonder on that rocky beach. Did you ever see such ferns?" They brought the canoe carefully in to the shore, landing on a sloping rock which was moss-grown above the mark of the last flood. Ruth fastened the tow-rope to the staff of a slender sapling. Wonota got out to help Helen gather some of the more delicately fronded ferns.
