You are their chief. It is your business to do what you can to keep their stomachs full and their backs warm. You don't ask why or the end." The Indian rolled another cigarette. He was like a fine dim cameo in the starlight. "I sabez!" he said at last. "Blood of man, it no belong to self but to tribe. So with Injuns. So with some whites. Not so with hombres."
Suma-theek responded to Jim's wistful smile with an old man's smile of lost illusions. "Dreams are always before or behind. They are never here. You are young. Yours are before. Suma-theek is old. His are behind. Boss Still, you no sabez one thing. All great dreams of any tribe they built by man for love of woman." Jim stared for a moment at the purple shadow of the Elephant.
Maybe when Great Spirit look down at Iron Skull, it make Him love Iron Skull to know old Injun carry Iron Skull's mark in his lonely heart. O friends, I know him many, many years! We smoke many pipes together. We hunt together. We sabez each other's hearts. Ai! Ai! Ai! Beloved!" And old Suma-theek broke down and cried like a child. The crowd dispersed silently.
Enoch's great head seemed to fascinate him. "I'm feeling better, thanks. And I'm trying hard to behave." "You're doing very well," returned Curly. "I can't recommend you yet as a horse wrangler, but if I permit you to bring Mamie in every morning, perhaps you'll sabez better." "This is sure one devil of a country," said Mack. "The Spanish called it the death trail. Wow!
And then, as if the flood in her heart was beyond her control, she said: "You will never tell, Suma-theek?" and as the Apache shook his head she went on eagerly, "I love him so much that after a while I must go away, old friend, or my heart will break!" The old Indian shook his head wonderingly. "Whites are crazy fools," he groaned. "You sabez he be here only three months more?" Pen started.
"Now," said Jim, "except when the shifts change, you are to keep your people this side of the ditch," pointing to the line that separated the Mexican and American camps. "I have fifty men scouring the camp for whiskey. Anybody found with liquor will be arrested. If there is a particle of trouble over it in your camp, I'll let the Gringos loose. Sabez?" Garces shivered a little.
I know! It will be like a strong arm under his poor overburdened shoulders!" "I have seen that those humans who seek strength from Nature never fail to find it." Suma-theek waited eagerly. "I'll send for Uncle Benny," said Pen. "He'll leave anything to help Jim." Suma-theek nodded. "Good medicine. He that fat uncle that love the Big Boss. I sabez him.
"Unbelief is the price we pay for scientific progress," said Charleton. "Me, I'm willing to pay." "I'm not," growled Peter, "but I don't see any way round it. Come on, Johnny, do your share." "I ain't going to dig any more," declared the little man. "You all say I ain't all here, and the part that ain't here is the part that works. Sabez?" Everybody laughed.
You loitered on the road too long, You trifled at the gate " "When you old like Suma-theek," said the Indian, "you sabez then nothing matter except man make his tribe live. Have children or die! That the Great Spirit's law for tribes." Jim said no more. The daily miracle of the sunset was taking place.
