In wild disorder the Pony Rider Boys tumbled from their cots, and, grasping their weapons, leaped from the tents. "What's the row?" inquired the Professor. "Wow! Wow! Wow! Yeow!" shrieked a shrill voice to the northward. "It's Chunky. He's giving the alarm! We're attacked!" cried the lads. Bang ! Bang! They saw the flash of the fat boy's weapon before the report reached their ears.
I allow ef yeow ain't ter feed 'em, an' ef yer can't put folks inter jail fur robbin' 'n' cheatin' 'em, not ter say killin' 'em, ef yer can't dew ennythin' more 'n keep 'em from gettin' whiskey, wall, I'm free ter say " Aunt Ri paused; she did not wish to seem to reflect on the Agent's usefulness, and so concluded her sentence very differently from her first impulse, "I'm free ter say I shouldn't like ter stan' in yer shoes."
They're drefful sheftless lot, these yere Mexicans; 'n' the Injuns is wuss. Naow when I say Injuns, I don't never mean yeow, yer know thet. Yer ain't ever seemed to me one mite like an Injun." "Most of our people haven't had any chance," said Ramona. "You wouldn't believe if I were to tell you what things have been done to them; how they are robbed, and cheated, and turned out of their homes."
"Wall, he kin flee ez many countries ez he likes, an' 't won't dew him no good. I know yeow folks hyar don't seem ter think killin' an Injun's enny murder, but I say 'tis; an' yeow'll all git it brung home ter yer afore yer die: ef 'tain't brung one way, 't'll be anuther; yeow jest mind what I say, 'n' don't yeow furgit it.
"Yeow! Yeow! Yeow!" persisted the voice behind, and it was coming nearer every second. Tad slackened the speed of his pony ever so little, despite the peril of his position. "There's somebody in there behind me, and, he'll never get out alive if he loses his way." The moment this thought occurred to him, Tad began to yell at the top of his voice.
"Wall, I did hent ter her thet p'raps yer could dew something, ef she wuz ter tell yer all abaout it; but she allowed thar wa'n't enny use in talkin'. Ther jedge, he sed her witnessin' wouldn't be wuth nuthin' to no jury; 'n' thet wuz what I wuz a wantin' to ask yeow, ef thet wuz so." "Yes, that is what the lawyers here told me," said the Agent.
And without a second look, or another word, she ran out of the door, and springing into the carriage, said, speaking faster than she had been heard to speak for thirty years: "Yeow jest turn raound 'n' drive me back a piece, the way we come. I allow I'll git a weed thet'll break thet fever. Faster, faster! Run yer hosses.
I see yeour man 'n' the marshal here arrestin' 'em pooty lively last month; they sed 'twas yeour doin'; yeow was a gwine ter prossacute every livin' son o' hell them wuz thar words thet sold whiskey ter Injuns." "That's so!" said the Agent. "So I am; I am determined to break up this vile business of selling whiskey to Indians.
He hadn't orter go alone by hisself." Felipe was thankful, indeed, for Aunt Ri's companionship, and expressed himself in phrases so warm, that she was embarrassed. "Yeow tell him, Jos," she said, "I can't never git used ter bein' called Senory. Yeow tell him his' sister allers called me Aunt Ri, 'n' I jest wish he would. I allow me 'n' him'll git along all right.
After a pause Aunt Ri resumed: "Ef it ain't enny offence ter yeow, I allow I'd like ter know jest what 'tis yeow air here ter dew fur these Injuns. I've got my feelin's considdable stirred up, bein' among 'em 'n' knowing this hyar one, thet's ben murdered. Hev ye got enny power to giv' 'em ennything, food or sech? They air powerful pore, most on 'em."
