Suddenly there rode into view, coming from the head of the string of cars, a wild rider, plying whip and heel to maddened pinto pony. "Wonota! Go back! You'll be killed!" shrieked Ruth. And then she added: "The picture will be ruined if you are hurt." Even had the Indian girl heard Ruth's cry she would have given it small attention.
Jim Hooley had chosen the few acting in the Eastern scenes with Wonota, including the hero, whom, to tell the truth, the Indian girl considered a rather wonderful person because she saw him in a dress suit" "Yes, it is true! No Indian could look so heroic a figure," she whispered to Ruth. "He looks like like a nobleman.
Here and there were bits of torn cloth hanging to the thorns. Yonder was a slipper with rather a high heel. She recognized it as one belonging to Wonota, the Osage girl, and picked it up. The Indian maid was really attempting the fads, as well as the fancies, in apparel of her white sisters! But what had become of the girl herself?
They have told Totantora that, as the contract with his daughter was made while she was not of age, it can be broken. Of course, the Indian agent agreed to the contract; but after Totantora returned from Europe, where he had been held a prisoner in Germany during the war, the guardianship of Wonota reverted to her father once more.
"Wonota is perfectly safe here, and surely Totantora can take care of himself with that little fat man, or with anybody else!" She entered the kitchen expecting to find the Indian girl at work with Aunt Alvirah in the old woman's sunny corner of the great room. The old woman was alone, however. "Where is Wonota?" Ruth asked.
With the incidents of her plot gradually taking form in her mind and being jotted down on paper, Ruth's hours began to be very full. She was with Wonota as much as possible, and the Indian girl began to show an almost doglike devotion to the girl of the Red Mill. "That is not to be wondered at, of course," Jennie Stone said, as she was about to return to her New York home.
"But Wonota can have none of that," explained the Indian maid. "It is apportioned to the families, and Totantora, the head of my family, is somewhere in that Europe where the war is. I can get no share of the money. It is not allowed." So, with the incentive of getting money for her search, Wonota was desirous of pleasing her white friends in every particular.
The girl of the Red Mill was half crouched, striving to push back against the thrust of the stick in Dakota Joe's hands. The upper part of Fenbrook's body was plainly visible from Wonota's station at the foot of the cliff, and his wicked face could be mistaken for no other. "Now! The gun!" shouted Mr. Hooley. "Wonota! Come alive!" The Indian girl obeyed as far as springing into action went.
"I'd almost forgotten about Wonota and Totantora." Ruth shook her head. "I am not likely to forget that," she said. She explained to the young man as they got into the launch and he pushed out from the shore about the difficulty that had arisen over the Indians. He was naturally deeply interested in Ruth's trouble and in the fate of the Indians.
I know what to say, all right," said the disgusted Helen. "It's no joke." Ruth herself admitted it was nothing to laugh about. She saw difficulties in the way of the completion of "The Long Lane's Turning" of which Helen knew but little or of which she did not think. Ruth knew that there were scenes some of them she had been studying with Wonota this day that could not be changed nor eliminated.
