42806Ah,said I,"you are Red Cloud?
42806Dead? 42806 Was the 19th of First Chronicles the last chapter we read in family worship before you left home?
42806What is the name?
42806Who are you?
42806Why do n''t you tell more about yourselves?
42806And had not these two young men been killed as they were coming to meet the boys?
42806And how could it be otherwise?
42806And this may be, too,--shall we not say it is so?
42806And why, except that like begets like?
42806And, if so, what shall we say of modern spiritism?
42806Besides, he made the ear, and shall he not hear?
42806But after they had, in a hasty manner, buried the father and husband, whither should they go for protection?
42806But had not the missionaries taken these boys to Ohio?
42806But how could we support one or more away at school?
42806But often the thought came to us, What will become of our quarter- century''s work among the Dakotas?
42806But they all asked, What have you to give us?
42806But where should it be?
42806By and by he said to me:"Do you know who I am?"
42806Can that have any reference to the"Son of Man"?
42806Could we not better accomplish this part of our God- given trust by removing thither, and for a while making that our home?
42806Did the Lord mean to have us give up our work there?
42806Did they look forward to what they would do after the family meeting was over?
42806Did they talk of present duties and doings?

42806Even the women taunted them by saying,"You boasted great power as_ wakan_ men; where is it now?"
42806Ever and anon came the question, What will you give me?
42806He made, in a large sense, all language, and shall he not be able to understand Dakota words?
42806He said,''What is to die, mamma?''
42806How many of those who embark in other lines of life and action can say the same?
42806I asked,''What flowers?''
42806I said to her,''Shall you go back to the hill country?''
42806If sin against_ white men_ brought_ such death_, what death might come to them by reason of sin, from the Great Wakan?
42806If the Lord had not given us the victory when we were many, would he do it when we were few?
42806If they ever made a treaty, and sold land to the government, would not the missionaries bring in large bills against them?
42806Is it in accord with living a true Christian life?
42806Is not that a successful life?
42806It has been a question that we often discussed,"How shall we get our children educated?"
42806It is said,"Christian people, and even Christian ministers, were inclined to say,''Why this waste?''"
42806Lac- qui- parle is the"Lake that speaks,"but who could be found around it?
42806Like the jailer, in anxious fear they have cried,''Sirs, what must we do to be saved?''
42806Or has he another, an''angel name''?
42806Shall I seek some other work, or still wait to see what the months will bring forth?"
42806Shall we accept that as true?
42806Shall we make our family a_ garden inclosed_?
42806Shall we not take advantage of this favorable time to tell them of Jesus the Saviour?
42806Should I obey?
42806So that we all felt the strain of those years, and we often asked one another,"What good is to come of this?"
42806The Hidatsa, not understanding it, supposed they had asked,"What do you want?"
42806The ever- present query was, What will become of us, and especially of the men?
42806The inquiry was, shall we break one command in fulfilling another?
42806The members of our native churches-- where were they?
42806The question discussed by the native brethren with the most eagerness was,"Shall the eldership receive any money compensation?"
42806Then, if human judgment resulted in what they had seen and realized, what would be the results of God''s judgment?
42806There was a time when I seriously asked the question,"What shall I do?
42806They called over, and the Mandans answered back in their own language:"Who are you?"
42806WHAT WILT THOU HAVE ME TO DO?
42806Was he calling me his father, or was it the Indian?
42806Was it intended to hit?
42806Was it strange that this was a week of intense enjoyment, of education, of growth in the life of faith and hope?
42806Were not the missionaries the cause of it all?
42806Were those men, now galloping away, sent by a band of warriors to spy out the land, or had they seen us by accident?
42806What could a courtier have said more?
42806What could grandma do?
42806What could she do for the coarse, degraded Indian women, that might not be better done by a less refined, sensitive, and elevated nature?
42806What could the latter mean?
42806What do you come here for?''
42806What is prayer?--and how shall we pray?
42806What made them leave all their old traditional ties and relationships and go forth as strangers and wanderers?
42806What more would be necessary to cause one nation to rise against another?
42806What will you give me?
42806What_ more_?
42806Whence came the Hidatsa?
42806Whence, then, did they have the strength of purpose which enabled them to face all this opposition, brave all these dangers?
42806Where could she go for a pleasure trip, but to Fort Snelling?
42806Who can tell the story better than he?
42806Who can tell?
42806Who shall say there are not now Dakota children in heaven?
42806Who would follow after women?"
42806Why shut up her beauty and talents in the log cabin of an Indian missionary?
42806With such feelings as these, as we came in sight of husband''s tent, I pointed it out to Isabella, when she asked,''Where''s papa''s house?''
42806Would there ever be a gathering again?
42806_ Could_ they protect us?
42806_ Dare_ we, as a nation,_ thus_ bring a curse upon ourselves and on future generations?
42806_ Is that dying?
42806_ must_ it be?
60633A big bear?
60633AY, WHERE WERE THEY?
60633And finding us gone, what then?
60633And suppose you did not; are you the sort of warrior that shoots another in the back?
60633And why not?
60633Are you hurt, my darling Edith?
60633Are you strong enough to stand this hard ride?
60633Ay, where were they?
60633But how are we to find them?
60633But how are we to know such fords?
60633But suppose you and I or my father meet, or you have the chance to harm my mother and little sister, Edith?
60633But what meant your course toward me yesterday? 60633 But what will become of you?"
60633Can it be that I have shaken them off at last?
60633Can it be that you have scented a deep place in front and want to save me from a bath?
60633Can you stand it, father?
60633Do n''t you catch on? 60633 Have you noticed those bucks on the top of the ridge yonder?"
60633How did you find it out?
60633How do you do?
60633How do you feel, father?
60633How far are we from Wounded Knee?
60633How long have they been there?
60633How many do you think are out there now?
60633How was it, Nick?
60633How?
60633I never dreamed of this; can you forgive this dreadful mistake?
60633I wonder what has become of them?
60633I''ll do anything I can, my lad, but what is it?
60633If I only knew where they were, if alive, I would guide this escort from Wounded Knee to their help----What was that?
60633In what way?
60633Is he better and stronger now?
60633Is he not in danger?
60633Is he?
60633It can have but one meaning,muttered Brinton, with a throbbing heart;"someone is in peril: can it be_ they_?"
60633Kindled for what purpose?
60633Must we cross that?
60633No; look at that thin line of smoke; do n''t you see something peculiar?
60633Oh, there is Wolf Ear?
60633Oh, where is he? 60633 That''s what I would like to know; I am worried to death, Nick; ca n''t you help us?"
60633They are on the watch for us, of course; how far away do you judge the trail to be?
60633Thus we meet, Brinton,he said in his low voice;"will you come forward and shake hands?"
60633True; but how can such a thing succeed? 60633 We are enemies"CHAPTER V."What will be their next step?"
60633We ca n''t tell about that; are you stronger?
60633Well, Wolf Ear, I can only say I am sorry that you should have been carried away by this error----"By what right do you call it error?
60633What are they doing?
60633What are you doing here, Nick?
60633What are you saying?
60633What do you propose to do?
60633What does it matter,asked his mother in turn,"so long as we can not see them?
60633What has that to do with this?
60633What is the matter, Hugh?
60633What is the matter?
60633What is the meaning of that?
60633What is this revelation?
60633What made you leave before I got back?
60633What will Brinton think? 60633 What will be their next step?"
60633Where is it?
60633Where were the squaws and children during the fight?
60633Where?
60633Whom do you suppose I saw?
60633Why do you do that, Hugh?
60633Why should I shake hands?
60633Why, Brint, is that you?
60633Will they suspect that we have been this way?
60633You believe in the coming of One to save your people-- why should not we place faith in the coming of our Messiah?
60633You grieve me more than I can express,replied the father;"are you sure you are not mistaken?"
60633You must be mistaken; for, if that were the case, why did he ride out here alone? 60633 Ah me, what will become of father, ill and weak as he is?
60633An expression of scorn passed over the face of the scout as he made answer--"Where was they?
60633Ay, where were they?
60633But how are we to escape them?"
60633But what is the other point you wish me to hold in mind?"
60633But where are the folk?"
60633But where?
60633But who can say how soon he, too, shall not be thus cut down with mother and little Edith?"
60633CHAPTER V."WHAT WILL BE THEIR NEXT STEP?"
60633Can it be possible that he is going to get well after all?"
60633Did n''t he want to see me?
60633Do you see that light away to the south?"
60633How could I forget them so long?"
60633How do you feel now?"
60633I am so sorry; is n''t he with you?"
60633I wonder----"He held his breath a moment, and then only whisper--"I wonder if they have not already visited our home?"
60633If so, the question might well be asked what was meant by this extraordinary behaviour of the red men?
60633Oh, how can I be thankful enough?
60633Then he rode forward and asked--"Was Nick badly hurt?"
60633There''s no question that a big lot of''em was killed, and how was it to be helped?
60633Was it not more likely that he came to learn whether we needed protection?
60633What will Brinton think?"
60633Where are they?
60633Where then was the hope of eluding the hostiles, who were clinging so persistently to his track?
60633Where under heaven can the folk be?
60633Why did n''t he come with you?
60633Why did not Wolf Ear, when he saw he could not reach his pony in time, halt and bring his gun to bear on his fierce pursuer?
60633Why did they not conceal themselves until the fugitives rode directly into their arms?
60633With only a brief comment on what had been told him, he said, starting up--"But, Nick, of what have I been thinking?
60633Wolf Ear fixed his eyes upon the wondering Brinton, who, walking forward and stooping down, asked in a choking voice--"Is all this true, Wolf Ear?"
60633You had to abandon everything?"
60633You have heard of the battle at Wounded Knee Creek, I suppose?"
60633You understand what_ that_ means, of course?"
60633did he hurt you?"
60633she asked;"are you ill?"
60633the brother groaned,"is it too late to save her?"
60633what have I been doing?"
60633what is the meaning of that?"
60633what''s the matter, Jack?"
60633what''s up now?"
60633where are you?"
60633whispered the youth;"is n''t that smoke?"
39465''Where is Meek?'' 39465 And you want to go to the Rocky Mountains?"
39465Any pins?
39465Any yarn?
39465But when you were hunting for your own subsistence in camp, you sometimes went out in small parties?
39465But you were going to tell me about the buffalo hunt at Missouri Lake?
39465Ca n''t you pack him to camp?
39465Champagne, sah?
39465Do with you? 39465 Do you accept?"
39465Do you always climb a tree in that way?
39465Had he stolen any?
39465Have_ you_ come to levy on my whisky?
39465How can you expect to get what you want, if you wo nt ask for it?
39465How long will five hundred dollars last you?
39465How much does your company pay you?
39465How old are you?
39465How soon can you be ready to start?
39465I want to know what you are doing traveling on this road? 39465 Is it_ you_, Jo, who are doing this?"
39465Is n''t there a sort of wine called-- some kind of_ pain_?
39465Joe Meek is my name; but whar did your brothers know me?
39465May I inquire your name, sir?
39465Meek!--what, not the Joe Meek I have heard my brothers tell so much about?
39465My daughter?
39465Shoes?
39465Well, what did you see, Harris?
39465What do you mean by loading a gun like that?
39465What have you got in the way of goods?
39465What have you got to drink, boy?
39465What now, old man?
39465What now?
39465What shall I do, Meek,said he,"to stop that infernal noise?"
39465What sort of heart have you,he asked,"that you offer food to me, whose hands are red with your brother''s blood?"
39465What would you do with me, Rector, should I fall and break a leg, or become in any way disabled?
39465What would you do,asked Bridger,"with a gun like that, if the Indians were to charge on the camp?"
39465What''ll I do with him if he is dead?
39465Where else should they be?
39465Why did you shoot him?
39465Yes, there''s a pretty good lot of yarn, but do n''t you want some sugar? 39465 You do not need a laundress, then?
39465You have killed all our warriors,she said;"do you now want to kill the women?
39465You were not very compassionate toward each other, in the mountains?
39465You''ll furnish the cow?
39465_ Ha ko any me ca, hanch?_said Meek, starting up and addressing him in the Snake tongue.
39465_ Ka hum pa, hanch?_returned Meek, assuming a look which indicated that English was as puzzling to him, as Snake to other people.
39465''Whar?
39465''Why, Nelson,''I answered,''you would n''t have us noisy before that distinguished guest of yours?''
39465At last he asked me--"''How many men has he?''
39465At this stage of the transaction General Lane interfered sufficiently to inquire"what he expected to do with that stuff?"
39465But could he settle down?
39465But who ever dreams of the presence of a foe under such circumstances?
39465But with such clothing how could you keep free of vermin?"
39465Can you assist me?
39465Captain Newell, holding up a bag of gold- dust before the astonished eyes of his persecutors, cried out--"Do you see that gold?
39465Do not the Indian medicine men often fail to save life, to win battles, to curse their enemies?
39465Do you fancy you should give much time to lamenting the less lucky fellows who were left behind frozen, starved, or scalped?
39465Do you think I do right in asking you?
39465Do you think the Indians will take the town?"
39465Do you think we stopped to look after the fallen man?
39465Do you understand, my friends, what I last said to you?
39465Do you want to know how we got rid of lice in the mountains?
39465Had not the son of another chief, who had gone to California to buy cattle, been killed by a party of Americans, for no fault of his own?
39465Have the promises been kept, or has the violation of them caused war and bloodshed?
39465Have we been uniformly unjust?
39465Here''s your wife, who you are keeping standing here in the hot sun; why do n''t_ she_ die?
39465How can you expect that ships will come here, if they are fired on?
39465In one of his restless moods he paid a visit to Polk, who detecting the state of his mind asked laughingly----"Well, Meek, what do you want now?"
39465In such a case as this, what could a mountain- man do?
39465In that case the conversation was apt to take a turn like this:_ Carson._ Meek, let me have some money, ca n''t you?
39465In this blind way the meat is portioned off; strongly reminding one of the game of"button, button, who has the button?"
39465Last summer the pipe was given in council, and what do you think of the matter now?
39465Many a time I have stood off, looking at the fire, but not venturing to approach, when a chief would say,''Are you cold, my friend?
39465Meek?--What do you advise?"
39465People stared, then smiled, then asked each other"who is it?"
39465Said Meek to his Honor:"Why did you fine me so heavily to- day?"
39465Shall we turn American settlers?"
39465Should he not starve at trying to do what other men, mechanics and farmers, do?
39465Sitting Bull''s interpreter, Bruey, rode back to ask why the troops were following him?
39465So you''ll go?"
39465Somewhat impressed by the manner in which Meek bore this scrutiny, he ended by demanding"who are you?"
39465The Plot Thickens-- The Wolf Association-- Suspicions of the Canadians--"Who''s for a Divide?"
39465They each drew rein as they approached, Mr. Spalding immediately inquiring"what news?"
39465Turning to the colored waiter who placed it there, he startled him first by inquiring in a low growling voice--"What''s that boy?"
39465Was it at all owing to the fact that they were celibates, with no families to excite jealous feelings of comparison in the minds of their converts?
39465Was it to be wondered at, under these circumstances, that Sitting Bull and his men believed they were superior to the general government?
39465What could he do?
39465What do you expect to kill?''
39465What do you say, Meek?
39465What have you got for me to do?
39465What were a band of sixty men against a thousand armed warriors in full fighting trim, with spears, shields, bows, battle- axes, and not a few guns?
39465What wonder that the California expedition was a favorite theme by camp- fires, for a long time subsequent?
39465Where do you think all this money is to come from?"
39465Whitman?"
39465Whitman?"
39465Who''ll mend them holes in the elbow of your coat?
39465Why?
39465Would he ever, could he ever attain to it now?
39465[ Illustration: SCOUTS IN THE BLACKFOOT COUNTRY--"ELK OR INDIANS?"]
39465_ Carson._ Try the"contingent fund,"ca n''t you?
39465_ Meek._---- it, whar am I to get money from?
39465_ Reader''s query._ Was it Meek or the Marshal who so strongly disapproved of spreeing?
39465commanded Meek,"what kind of game?"
39465exclaimed Mr.----,"is that all we have for supper?"
39465exclaimed the captain,''without guns or arrows; and with only one old spear?
39465whar?''
39465what was he to do with himself in the future?
39465where could he go?
28331Am I not watching them?
28331And leave you here?
28331And may I ask what ye are doing here so close to the spalpeens, whin ye ought to be miles away?
28331And what have you to say, Molly?
28331And why are you my friend? 28331 And would not that, in the present case, lead them to go toward rather than from home?"
28331And ye think after his doing us that kindness, he became an inimy agin?
28331Are not our ponies as fleet as theirs?
28331Are there any more like this?
28331Are you ready, Molly?
28331Are you sorry?
28331Begorra, but is n''t he a bouncer?
28331But how long will they stay there?
28331But if that is the case why did he interfere whin the grizzly was about to chaw me up?
28331But what about us?
28331But what of you and Warren?
28331But what will you do?
28331But why do n''t you go now?
28331Ca n''t we do something, George?
28331Can it undo the harm of the last few days?
28331Can they hold out until then?
28331Can you forgive me for what I have done?
28331Did I hurt you?
28331Did you get wet, papa?
28331Did you hear no firing?
28331Did you hear or see nothing of the Indians?
28331Did you recognize where you were?
28331Did you see us approaching when you started the fire?
28331Do n''t you want anyone else to read it?
28331Do ye want to pass it by widout finding out its maaning?
28331Do you know anything about him?
28331Do you know anything about it?
28331Do you know who that Indian is?
28331Has he hurt Billy?
28331Have I not always been an obedient wife?
28331Have n''t I told ye that the little circus ye opened out on the plain drew away all the spalpeens but the single one lift to look after me? 28331 How can you know that?"
28331How can you know that?
28331How far, Molly, do you think we have come?
28331How is that?
28331How long do you think you can ride on the back of Sally?
28331How?
28331I had no chance to shoot me rifle, and who ilse could have done the same?
28331I know that,said the child thoughtfully,"for has n''t He given me the best parents in the world?
28331If it is father who has kindled the blaze, and he is looking for us, he will find some way of telling us more plainly----"Do ye obsarve?
28331If that''s the case why does n''t he come forward and interdooce himself? 28331 If you and I had what we deserved where would we be?
28331Is he shamming?
28331Molly,said he, stirred by a sudden thought,"why not ride after the pack- horse?"
28331Then I repeat, I forgive you; but are you able to rise to your feet?
28331Then they have passed nigh this spot?
28331Thin who was the mon?
28331Tim,said Mr. Starr, turning to the Irishman,"did you notice whether he was among the group you saw?"
28331Wal, ye''re so sartin about it that I ca n''t help belaving ye; but if it was Starcus, why did he act that way? 28331 Was there no man with father?"
28331What about him?
28331What are ye talking about?
28331What is it, wife?
28331What is it?
28331What is that?
28331What is the meaning of that?
28331What is to be done?
28331What the mischief do you see, Jack?
28331What the mischief has become of Jack?
28331What''s that for, papa?
28331What''s that?
28331What''s the matter, Warren?
28331What''s the matter?
28331Where are he and mother now?
28331Where is he?
28331Where is his horse?
28331Where?
28331Where?
28331Whin would ye like me to start?
28331Who are you?
28331Who is he?
28331Why do n''t the spalpeens save their powder?
28331Why do you ask me to surrender? 28331 Why do you say that?"
28331Why do you think so?
28331Why not continue our flight?
28331Why not do so now?
28331Why not lave a missage for him?
28331Why not?
28331Why not?
28331Why, ca n''t you see that''s Jerry?
28331With no moon or stars to guide him last night, what means had he of keeping to the right coorse?
28331You do n''t intend to shoot him?
28331You understand matters,he said,"and the question is, what is best to do?"
28331But surely you noticed the direction they took?"
28331But who can trust an Indian?
28331Could it be that equally good fortune had befallen Tim Brophy?
28331Had he been able to throw his pursuers off the track for the time?
28331He scanned the water and finally turned to his wife with a smile:"Where do you think we had better try it, Molly?"
28331Hey, my boy?"
28331How are you standing it, Dot?"
28331How do you feel, Dot?"
28331How many had been gathered there, how long since they had left, whether they would return, and if so, how soon?
28331How soon would the rest be on the spot?
28331If it had been kindled by Sioux or brother hostiles, why had they not appeared and taken a hand in the lively proceedings?
28331Is there room for Billy, too?"
28331Mamma will take care of me, wo n''t you?"
28331Nothing was to be feared from them, but what of those that were so much nearer?
28331Thin, what is to hinder yees from going like a house afire for the foort?"
28331Was there no hope now of escape for the miserable fugitives?
28331What brought you here?"
28331What was to prevent them moving farther up or down the bank, under the screen it afforded, and crossing unobserved?
28331What, therefore, should he do for himself and the other loved ones for whom all this danger had been incurred?
28331Where in the name of the seven wonders did you come from?
28331Where were that father, mother, and little sister?
28331Where were the rest?
28331Why did n''t he spake, and why did n''t he coom forward and shake hands wid us?"
28331Why did n''t we think of it?"
28331Why did they content themselves with this simple act, when they might have done a thousandfold worse?
28331Why should the Sioux stay where they were?
28331Would Starcus continue to hold his present enmity to the people that had been friendly to him?
28331and how came you to give them the slip?"
28331called Warren;"we thank you for your kindness; wo n''t you come forward and join us?"
28331he muttered,"they have traced us after all, but where are the rest?"
28331how came I to do that?
28331whispered the husband;"there may be others near us; do you hear anything?"
19023And what did you tell me-- she is Mrs. Hay''s niece? 19023 And what?"
19023And where are the others?
19023Any idea who they were?
19023Beg pardon, sir, but will the captain take my horse? 19023 But what became of him?
19023But you suspect-- whom?
19023By me? 19023 By you, do you mean?"
19023Can you see them still?
19023Did they-- were there any Indians-- killed?
19023Did ye get him, sorr,--afther all?
19023Did ye tell her I''d wait?
19023Did you see them yourself?
19023Field was constantly with her, was he? 19023 Has anything happened to-- start him since then?"
19023Have you anything to tell me, Field?
19023Have you ever seen that fellow before?
19023Have you two men who can ride hard a dozen miles or so-- and carry out their orders?
19023Hello, what have you there, corporal?
19023How far ahead, Murray?
19023How far, sergeant?
19023How old-- and what is she like, Dade?
19023How, John,said he, with an Irishman''s easy insolence,"Lookin''for a chance to steal somethin''--is it?"
19023In God''s name what do you mean?
19023Is he-- so much worse?
19023Is it true you have ordered him in irons and to Fort Rochambeau?
19023Is there nothing we can do?
19023Is-- Mr. Field going with Captain Ray?
19023Lame Wolf out? 19023 Lost anything, Captain Blake?"
19023Men look full of fight, do n''t they? 19023 Must they-- all know?"
19023No?
19023Shall I have out my sergeant and cooks at once? 19023 Simply because he took part with his people when your soldiers made war on them?"
19023Start!--Start for where?
19023Sure he dared me out, an''--what''s this he called me? 19023 Sure it was two men?"
19023Sure, how should I know him, sorr? 19023 That''s little Kennedy, is n''t it?
19023The desk has n''t been_ opened_?
19023The lieutenant''s safe all right,he muttered,"but what''s gone wid the squaw that was shoutin''Sioux at that murdherin''buck?"
19023Then how do you account for-- this?
19023Then where are you sending these?
19023To whom shall I turn over the post fund, sir?
19023Up? 19023 What brings them here?
19023What do you mean?
19023What else could it be?
19023What else could they do? 19023 What is it?"
19023What money?
19023What news, captain?
19023What''s that he said about eating your heart?
19023Where does he get them-- without waking you?
19023Where on earth did you meet him before?
19023Who are you?
19023Who could have done it, then?
19023Who rode the others, Field? 19023 Who was it, Kennedy?--and where did you ever see him before?"
19023Who''s we?
19023Why the stables?
19023You are all right now-- You can get back? 19023 You can be ready, can you not?"
19023You do n''t think him dangerously wounded, do you?
19023You must go, Gerald,she sobbed--"I know it, but-- isn''t there_ some_ way?--Won''t Captain Dade send more men with you?"
19023You saw it?
19023You will wait for the cavalry from Laramie, will you not, sir?
19023A dozen in sight?
19023Another long stare, then again--"Who the mischief can he be?"
19023But what had they taken?
19023But where on earth did all these rascals come from?
19023But who the mischief is that red villain opposing him?
19023Can you promise?"
19023Can you walk from here to Hay''s, I wonder?"
19023Could it be that the lad was unnerved by the sight?
19023D''you know the message that came to him this day?"
19023Did Miss Flower like to ride?
19023Did you meet no Indians?"
19023Do n''t you begin to see that the major was right in sending you out with us?"
19023Do you see, boy?"
19023Everybody knew it;--no one better than General Crook himself, and if he approved why should a junior disapprove?
19023Have n''t you seen her?
19023Have they-- ironed him-- yet?"
19023Hay?"
19023Her first thought was to scream for aid, but what aid could she summon?
19023How came they to send a raw rookie on such a quest?
19023How could a lad with all these sins upon his soul be in anything but low spirits?
19023How did-- he-- seem this morning?"
19023How happened it that the captain got so far ahead of him?
19023How''s your wound?
19023In honest soldier tones boomed out the query"What''s the matter, Six?"
19023Is n''t that Red Fox?"
19023Is n''t this Red Fox himself?"
19023It was to see this fellow, Moreau-- Eagle Wing-- whom you recognized at the Elk,--she was there so frequently-- was it not?"
19023It would take him but little from the direct line to the north, why not meet him and hear?
19023Jasper Strong, Valentine, Nebraska, the other to the general delivery, Omaha?
19023Might it not be well to wait until this important and influential personage had reached the post before proceeding further?
19023More than that-- Where''s Hay?"
19023Nearly time now, is n''t it?"
19023No?
19023Now, what d''ye know about this?"
19023Now,--was there anything of that kind left by the captain that-- someone may have needed?"
19023One significant question he asked: Did any of them know this new Major Flint?
19023Riding just by themselves or with others when they went out?"
19023She''s over here somewhere?"
19023Stabber''s people there yet?"
19023The latter was too weak in numbers to think of fighting on even terms, and as Ray seemed determined to come ahead, why not let him?
19023Then why, asked Fort Frayne, had they molested him-- and his?
19023They''ve got the captain----""What captain?"
19023What are we here for, Winsor?"
19023What became of the wine she had poured out?
19023What brought you back so soon?"
19023What could have been the object of their midnight search?
19023What did they do with him?"
19023What do they hope to get or gain?"
19023What is it, Hogan?"
19023What is the young lady''s name?"
19023What manner of girl was that, Field, for you to be mixed up with?"
19023What money had I?
19023What started the row?"
19023What''s a cavalryman for?
19023What''s she doing with a man''s?
19023What''s that?"
19023When are you going to try to get your cash to bank?"
19023When do you want this money?"
19023Where then was Nanette?
19023Where''d_ you_ steal your whiskey?"
19023Where''s the major?--I mean the captain?"
19023Who are our best shots on this front?"
19023Who could tell what the day might yet bring forth?
19023Who then could it be?
19023Who, then, were these others who had now totally disappeared?
19023Whoever dreamed that they would be of such consequence?
19023Will you order their immediate arrest?"
19023Wing, are you hit?"
19023Yet, when investigated, this proved to be the case, and the further question arose, where did McGann get his whiskey?
19023You''ve been drinking, have n''t you?"
19023You''ve seen her then this morning?
19023and what could it mean, this coming of a strange courier from a direction so far to the east of the travelled road?
19023he asked, at length,"and what on earth are you doing out here this time of night?"
19023the vine twigs in that"quare"made skirt never worn by day?
19023what''s this I''m sayin''?"
22464Ai n''t that an answer for you? 22464 Albert at the creek, ill?"
22464And so you think that it is time for you to go?
22464And this?
22464Anything in sight, Dick?
22464Are we going to hide somewhere near by and watch during the night?
22464Are you a Sioux?
22464Are you sure?
22464Are you telling''em, Bright Sun, when we''ll reach California?
22464Bright Sun said I was waiting here for you, and had something important to tell you?
22464Bright Sun, I suppose, is with them?
22464Bright Sun,he said,"it was you, our guide, who led the train into the pass that all might be killed?"
22464But we had to leave sometime or other,said Dick,"and how could we tell that we were going to run into anything like this?
22464Can we eat him?
22464Decided to come home, have you? 22464 Did you ever see anybody so eager over anything?"
22464Did you ever see so much jumping for so little reward?
22464Do you dare tell me that Custer and his entire command have perished?
22464Do you know, Al, how long we have been in this valley?
22464Do you know,asked Bright Sun,"that reports of gold in the region to the north, called by you the Black Hills, have come to us?"
22464Do you mean that they were all killed, Dick?
22464Do you mean, Dick, that you''re going back down there in that awful pass?
22464Do you think it can really happen, Dick? 22464 Do you think they''ll rush us?"
22464Do you think we''ll meet''em?
22464Get back alive? 22464 Have you broken down?
22464Have you thought, Dick, what you and I are?
22464He''s as big as a mountain, is n''t he, Dick?
22464How are you feeling, Al?
22464How did I get here, Al?
22464How long do you think you''ll be gone?
22464How many warriors do you suppose this place could turn out, Dick?
22464How much long, Bright Sun, will it take us to reach the gold country?
22464How''s that brother of yours? 22464 How?"
22464I see,he said;"and you''ve been at work sometime, Do you feel fully equal to the task?"
22464I wonder if they mean to starve us to death?
22464I wonder, Al, what Bright Sun is doing now?
22464I''d like to be seeing them now,responded Dick;"but do you believe everything that Bright Sun says?"
22464If I am willing for what?
22464Indians?
22464Is it a fight or a foot race?
22464Is it a fox?
22464Is it you, Al? 22464 Is it you, Dick?
22464Night and the camp, Al,said Dick cheerfully;"feel better, do n''t you?
22464No doubt,said Dick, and after a moment''s pause he added,"Did it snow much up here?"
22464Now what shall we do?
22464Now, I wonder what they''re after?
22464Now, I wonder what they''re after?
22464Now, are n''t they silly?
22464Now, what will Mr. Cougar do?
22464See, Dick,he said,"what is that?"
22464So it''s decided, then, is it?
22464Suppose a panther should come snooping along,said Albert,"and think this the proper place for his bed and board?"
22464That so? 22464 The Sioux are a great and warlike tribe, are they not?"
22464The Sioux are making war upon our people,he said,"and why should they stay around here?
22464Then I ask you again,said Bright Sun,"where have you been all this time?"
22464Then why do you refuse to tell of this place?
22464What are you bristling up about?
22464What are you doing, you boy?
22464What are you expecting, Dick?
22464What are you going to do to me?
22464What did Conway say?
22464What do you make of him?
22464What do you make of it, Al?
22464What do you mean?
22464What does Bright Sun mean by what he said to us?
22464What does he want with us?
22464What does it mean?
22464What is it, Bright Sun?? 22464 What is it, Bright Sun??
22464What is it?
22464What meaning do you give to it, Dick?
22464What under the sun are those sticks and cords for?
22464What we wish to know,said Bright Sun--"and we have ways to make you tell us-- is whether you saw the white troops before we took you?"
22464What would you ask of me?
22464What''s that?
22464What''s the trouble, Al?
22464What''s this?
22464What''s up now, Mr. Lone Wolf?
22464When shall we slip out?
22464Where have you come from to- night? 22464 Who are you?"
22464Who led them?
22464Why could n''t we go on with them, Dick?
22464Why have you come here?
22464Why not?
22464Why should n''t it be, when the best carpenters in the world did the job?
22464Why, Dick,exclaimed Albert,"what on earth is the matter with you?"
22464Why, what''s this, Al?
22464Why?
22464Will it work?
22464Will they keep it up all night?
22464Work?
22464Would n''t the presence of buffalo and antelope indicate that there are not many Indians hereabouts?
22464Would you tell me where you have been in the last two years and all that you have done?
22464You were brought, and by my warriors; but why were you upon these hills?
22464You would know what we have been doing?
22464Albert was up, rifle in hand, crying:"What is it, Dick?"
22464And all those beautiful streams that came jumping down between the mountains?"
22464And how about the Annex and the Suburban Villa?
22464And how?"
22464Bound, helpless, and shut off from the rest of the world, this question suddenly became vital to him: Would that Indian ever move, or would he not?
22464But his mind now came back to the anxious question:"Where is my brother Albert, who was taken with me?
22464But was it near enough?
22464Could it be he who had slain the mightiest buffalo that ever trod the earth?
22464Could such a thin white hand as that belong to him who had lately owned such a big red one?
22464Dick, have you robbed a treasure ship?"
22464Dick, was n''t that the most beautiful lake of ours that you ever saw?
22464Did Bright Sun think that Albert and he were not equal to the task?
22464Did he not hear hoof beats?
22464Did these men who rode so well know unto what they were riding?
22464Did you ever see another house as snug as Castle Howard?
22464Did you ever see such a whopper?"
22464Did you ever see such a wolf?"
22464Do these men with whom you travel go to anything certain far over on the coast of the Western ocean?
22464Do you feel strong enough to walk now, Al?
22464Had he escaped all the dangers of the Sioux for this?
22464Has n''t he brought us along all right?
22464He and Albert had escaped the massacre, but how were they to live in that wilderness of mountains?
22464He tried to be resigned, but how could one be resigned when one was so young and so strong?
22464How could he do it?
22464How could he have such control over his nerves and body?
22464How could he stand this and the snow together?
22464How did you see all this?"
22464How is Mr. Albert Howard now?"
22464How on earth did you ever get here?"
22464How was he to take care of such riches?
22464How were the Sioux to know that these two would keep their promised word?
22464How were they to save themselves from death by exposure?
22464I wonder if some such penalty is put on us, and if so, what for?"
22464Is it Daniel Boone or Davy Crockett?"
22464Is that you, Dick?"
22464It does n''t look much like our own valley, does it, Al?"
22464It was so surprising that Dick forgot for a moment the question that he was eagerly awaiting a chance to ask-- where was his brother Albert?
22464Now what under the moon is about to happen?"
22464Say, young fellow, what''s your name?
22464Should he run, taking to the deepest snow, where the wolves might sink to their bodies and thus fail to overtake him?
22464To freeze to death merely because he did not have a dry lucifer match?
22464To rescue Albert would be in itself difficult enough, but how was he ever to find him in that huge village, five miles long?
22464Torture or death?
22464Was he waiting for the others to come up?
22464What are you driving at?"
22464What did it mean?
22464What do you mean?"
22464What does it mean?"
22464What is it?"
22464What''s the use of being on the losing side?
22464Where have you been?"
22464Where on earth did you come from?"
22464Where were you?
22464Which way do you think those troops on your side of the village retreated?"
22464Which way would it go?
22464Why are n''t you with them Dick?"
22464Why did n''t you get into the wagon?"
22464Why else are they holding this great council of the Seven Fireplaces?
22464Why not do all we can while we can?
22464Why should he be careful?
22464Why should he, strong and armed, seek to evade a lone pursuer?
22464Why should he?
22464Why throw away pawns that we hold?
22464Will it hurt me?''"
22464Would they drive the Sioux away?
22464You have not killed him?"
10794And if I am,said the Bear woman,"do not the souls of the bears enjoy forever the heaven of the Dahcotah?"
10794But what should we do with We- no- nah? 10794 Can a Dahcotah woman want courage when she is to be forced to marry a man she hates?"
10794Can this be true?
10794Did I not tell you that I could not live like the Dahcotah women?
10794Do you intend to stay all night to hear your mother talk? 10794 Do you love me as Wenona loved?"
10794Do you not fear the power of the woman who sits in the north, Wenona? 10794 Do you not see my daughter?"
10794Do you nurse your baby well, Wenona?
10794Do you see that nest of trees?
10794Does he come back to- night?
10794He has come,she said to herself,"but will his eye seek mine?
10794How can I,was the reply,"when I have not eaten since it was born?"
10794Is not a woman a dog?
10794Let me go,said the girl;"why do you seek to detain me?
10794Marry him, my daughter,said the mother,"your father is old; he can not now hunt deer for you and me, and what shall we do for food?
10794Tell me if you love Fiery Wind?
10794What can be the matter?
10794What should I fear,said Wenona;"I, who will soon join my mother, my father, my sisters, in the land of spirits?
10794What,said she,"does a Dahcotah warrior still love a woman who hates him?"
10794Where is the warrior that will not listen to the words of his chief? 10794 Where is your husband?"
10794Who are you,she cried,"that are troubling yourself about my husband?
10794Why are you not helping the women to make the teepee, Red Earth?
10794Why are you not now the mother of warriors,she said,"and besides, who will kill game for you when you are old?
10794Why did you leave me?
10794Why did you not tell Shah- co- pee what we were laughing at, Wenona?
10794Why do you tremble maiden? 10794 Why have you wished to meet me, Harpstenah?"
10794Women are ever dogs and liars,said Red Deer,"but why do you speak such words to me, when you know you have agreed to marry Cloudy Sky?
10794''Return to me, Wenonah, I will never love maiden but you; did you not promise to light the fires in my wigwam?''
10794And must their religion and superstitions, their customs and feasts pass away from memory as if they had never been?
10794And this is Indian, but what is Christian warfare?
10794And was Wenona unworthy?
10794And who will say that our heaven will not be hers?
10794And who would blame them?
10794Are their women planting corn, which is to be in a great measure depended upon for food during the next winter?
10794Are there not maidens among the Dahcotahs more beautiful than she?
10794Are you thinking of''Fiery Wind?''"
10794But are there no deeds of darkness done in our own favored land?
10794But as the warriors stepped into the open air, why does the light of the moon fall upon faces pale with terror?
10794But could he refuse to be happy when Wenona smiled?
10794But how with the missionary''s wife?
10794But if to be a savage is to be cruel, vindictive, ferocious-- dare we say that to be a civilized man necessarily implies freedom from these traits?
10794But what was their fright when they heard the ice breaking, and the waters roaring as they carried everything before them?
10794But when should they join again in the ceremonies of their tribe?
10794But where on earth is the bridegroom?
10794But where was the Swan?
10794But who were the three?
10794But who would have recognized, in the crest- fallen, melancholy- looking Indian, the gay warrior that had left home but a few years before?
10794But why should you think of death?
10794But will the mother give up the last of her children?
10794But, that last look, could he ever forget it?
10794Can a Dahcotah woman want courage when she is to be forced to marry a man she hates?"
10794Can he not take the thunder in his hand and cast it to the earth?
10794Can the prisoner gaze with pleasure on the brightness of the sky, or listen to the rippling of the waves?
10794Can they forget the fate of their beautiful companion?
10794Churches will soon rise where the odious feast and medicine dance are celebrated, but will the Indians worship there?
10794Could it be that the Creator had balanced the happiness of one portion of his children against the wretchedness of the rest?
10794Could she provoke with impunity the anger of the spirits of the dead?
10794Did his dream portend the loss of his young wife?
10794Did you not say the soul went to the house of spirits?"
10794Did you not say you would marry the chief''s sister-- why then are you not with her?
10794Did you not, after drinking that very whiskey, strike a white woman, for which you were taken to the fort by the soldiers, and kept as a prisoner?"
10794Do they listen to my death song?"
10794Does he doubt?
10794Does he fail?
10794Had he not yielded himself up?
10794Has disgrace or insult been heaped upon her?
10794Has he not lived with the Thunder Birds, did he not learn from them to cure the sick, and to destroy his enemies?
10794Has she been slighted in love?
10794Has she not shamed a brave warrior?
10794Have I not told you why?
10794Have they forgotten her too?
10794Have they no faults, as a people and individually?
10794Have you forgotten the Maiden''s rock?
10794Have you given bright gold that their children might be educated and redeemed from their slavery of soul?
10794Have you remembered that their souls are dear in His sight, who suffered for them, as well as for you?
10794Have you thought of the privations, the wants of those who once owned your country, and would own it still but for the strong hand?
10794He could see many upon the shore, but who were they?
10794He had sinned against the giant, and what might be the consequence of offending him?
10794He loved adventures; had he not left home to seek them?
10794He wants to buy me, and you have received his gifts; why do you not return them?
10794Her friends?
10794Her lover had forsaken her in the hour of danger, and what could she feel after that?
10794Her lover?
10794His chief had taken the prisoner to his teepee; she was safe; she was a member of his family-- who would harm her there?
10794His children too-- the young warriors, who were wo nt to follow him and listen to his voice, would they welcome him home?
10794How can it better be done than by introducing the Christian religion among them?
10794How could he speak when his heart was throbbing, and every pulse beating wildly?
10794How could she help loving the warrior who had returned the bravest in the battle?
10794How had he scorned them before he went away!--Did he not say that women were only dogs, or worse than dogs?
10794How is it with the man on his fire- water mission to the Indian?
10794How should a soldier be employed but in active service?
10794How will it end?
10794I bring you venison and fish, will you not give me clothes to protect me from the winter''s cold?"
10794Is it not a source of rejoicing to be the means of turning one fellow- creature from a faith like this?
10794Is she not a disgrace to the band?
10794Let me see the brave warrior who will take the life of my prisoner?
10794Loved by his tribe, feared by his enemies, respected and well treated by the white people, what more could a savage ask?
10794My spirit drooped within his hated walls?
10794Of course he rises to receive his bride?
10794Officers are of course always ready to"go where glory waits"them, but who ever heard of one being ready to go when the order came?
10794Red Cloud is a great warrior, why should he be sad because Wenona loves him not?
10794She awoke with the words echoing in her heart,"Can a Sioux woman want courage when she is to be forced to marry a man she hates?"
10794She escapes a present death-- what will be her future fate?
10794She knew she was innocent, but what did that avail her?
10794She knew that she loved the Shield more in absence; why then hope that he would forget Sacred Wind when he saw her no more?
10794She loves and is going to marry"Iron Lightning,"who has gone to bring her-- what?
10794She was accused by a warrior, and who would believe her if she denied the charge?
10794Should I not fear him who is so powerful?
10794Should he desert her, her parents would kill her for disgracing them; and her rival, Wanska, how would she triumph over her fall?
10794Should his enemies think that he feared them?
10794Such is the story told by the Dahcotahs; and why not apply to them for their own traditions?
10794The Indians eagerly inquired of her what was the matter?
10794The girl did not love him, how could she?
10794The women cut long gashes on their arms, and as the blood flowed from the wound they would cry, Where is my husband?
10794There is a way to relieve them-- would you know it?
10794They are not to injure one who has not harmed them; but where is the Dahcotah who will not rejoice as he takes the life of his enemy?"
10794To her brother?
10794To whom shall the maiden turn for help?
10794Vainly did the medicine men practice their cherished rites-- the Great Spirit had called-- and who could refuse to hear his voice?
10794Was ever such confusion?
10794Was he dreaming?
10794Was his powerful arm to be laid low, and the strong pulse to cease its beatings?
10794Was it not a triumph for the Dahcotah women?
10794We can see they are passing away, but who can decide the interesting question of their origin?
10794Were not the customs of his race holy and sacred?
10794What could it be?
10794What do I eat?
10794What does his countenance say?
10794What if the rain pours in upon her, or the driving wind and hail scatter her wild locks?
10794What is the thunder, and where does it come from?"
10794What more do we want?
10794What say the boundless prairies?
10794What was she about to do?
10794What were home and friends to her who loved with all the devotion of a heart untrammeled by forms, fresh from the hand of nature?
10794What would her friends say?
10794When had she refused?
10794When your brother died, did he not kill his worst enemy and hang up his scalp at his grave?"
10794When?
10794Where are Fiery Wind and his relations?
10794Where are the spirits of the rocks and rivers of her land?
10794Where are the warriors of the Sissetons?
10794Where are they?
10794Where had the white man a place to call his own on our prairies?
10794Who can describe her terror and dismay when Red Cloud advances and leads her from the sacred ring?
10794Who can look upon them without interest?
10794Who has done this?
10794Who shall tell his agony?
10794Who was he, this intruder?
10794Who would listen to a woman''s words?
10794Who would suppose they were human beings?
10794Who would watch for your coming as I would?
10794Why did you not make him promise not to come?
10794Why is it so?
10794Why is it that we lack interest in things at home?
10794Why should they be neglected when the waters of benevolence are moving all around them?
10794Why should you leave me without saying that I am your wife?
10794Will it be said that I am regarding, with partial eye and sentimental romance, but one side of the Sioux character?
10794Will their mysterious origin never be ascertained?
10794Will this powerful tribe cease to be a nation on the earth?
10794Will you not be despised when another is preferred to you?"
10794With the wild wave''s foam and the free bird''s flight, And the tall spears glancing on my sight, And the trumpet in mine ear?
10794` But where,''said I to my uncle,` where are the spirits of my forefathers?
10794` My nephew,''said he,''why are you travelling without a bow and arrow?
10794a brooch-- a new blanket?
10794are you without blame?
10794had her life been one bright dream-- had her days been always full of gladness-- her nights quiet and free from care?
10794how can you provide yourself with food when you have no means of killing game?
10794how many generations have roamed over them?
10794my brother?
10794my son?
10794said she to him, as he watched Wenona and her lover talking together,"what has happened?
10794she is here; why do you, not raise your tomahawks?
10794the snow- covered hills, majestic and silent, look coldly enough upon their sport; but what care they?
10794when did the buffalo first yield to the arrow of the hunter?
10794where are the spirits of the Dahcotah braves whose deeds are still told from father to son among us?''
10794where is my brother who fell under the tomahawk of his enemy?
10794where is my sister who threw herself into the power of Unktahe, rather than to live and see her rival the wife of the Sun?
10794who has killed the brave warrior?
10794will carry you a prisoner to their fort?
10794will he tell_ me_ that the time has been long since he saw me woman he loved?"
20082And Burning Star-- did you see him? 20082 And have you been way up to the third story?
20082And will you tell Mrs. Fletcher? 20082 And you have n''t seen her since-- not even her picture?"
20082And you''ve got to invite them to dinner?
20082Bad news, Dean?
20082Burleigh, do you mean, or his queer guest?
20082But what if the Indian Bureau should let them have breech- loaders?
20082By heaven, Burleigh,muttered the old trader to himself,"are you the deepest man I ever met, or only the most infernal scoundrel?"
20082Can anything be wrong?
20082Cavalry?
20082Did you notice that, Nell? 20082 Do you know-- Is there anything new?--anything worse?"
20082Do you mean,he finally cried,"that-- that it''s beyond Frayne that they''re going-- that it''s money they''re to take?"
20082Good Lord, Marshall,said Loomis, as they cleared the gate,"if that''s the only approbation this day''s work will bring us what will the results be?
20082Has n''t Jessie written you of how Nell has grown and improved?
20082Have you any idea, colonel,he began the moment the officers reached him,"where Major Burleigh can be?
20082How can it be possible?
20082How''d you find out if they would n''t talk?
20082In God''s name, what''s wrong?
20082Is it not possible that he has found something along the lower Laramie-- something where his troop is needed much more than here doing stable guard?
20082Is it true,he asked,"that the government means to establish a post at Warrior Gap?
20082My child,said he,"what do you know about it?"
20082Now, Mr. Dean, will you tell me what you think of that for a pappoose?
20082Of Hal?
20082Oh, what has happened?
20082Really? 20082 The fellow who gave the tip to Birdsall''s people?"
20082Then-- you had it with you in the Indian fight?
20082They ca n''t have seen us, can they, lieutenant?
20082Thirty men-- mounted?--no wagons or-- anything?
20082This? 20082 Twig that?"
20082Well, sergeant, what''d he say?
20082Well, what fault is that of his? 20082 What do you mean?"
20082What is it?
20082What on earth does John Folsom want of a housekeeper?
20082What outfit?
20082What then?
20082What was it? 20082 What''s amiss?"
20082What''s happened?
20082What? 20082 When did you see them first and how many are there?"
20082Where is Folsom?
20082Where is Hal?
20082Which way are you going now?
20082Who are you, brothers-- friends?
20082Who put them in circulation, Major Burleigh?
20082Who was he, really?
20082Who was it?
20082Why do n''t he marry again?
20082Why, where did this come from?
20082Why?
20082Will you go?
20082With or without the coveted scalps?
20082Wo n''t he tell who they are?
20082Would you mind taking me through that way?
20082You do n''t suppose he''d come back to rob his own office?
20082You got my note?
20082You know I opposed the sending of that party? 20082 You know he planned the whole business-- sent''em around by Cañon Springs and the Sweetwater?"
20082You know what''s happened?
20082You will see-- the ladies out to camp, Loomis?
20082You''ll come back by way of Hal''s, wo n''t you?
20082You''ve been thinking-- what, Daddy?
20082''Well, will you have the goodness to say what charges have been laid against me?''
20082All safe at the ranch?"
20082And all for what?
20082And now, what fate was staring him in the face?
20082But how''d it get so blackened there-- and crushed?
20082But people east of the Missouri said:"Who the devil is John Folsom?
20082But who betrayed the secret?
20082But, Hal, where''s your wife?"
20082But, who the devil is John Folsom?
20082By the way, where was that photo?
20082Ca n''t we send help?"
20082Come right to the point-- What crime is young Dean charged with?
20082Could it be that Burleigh lingered on in hopes of their reappearance below?
20082Could it be that Burleigh stood in need of all this money to cover other sums that he had misapplied?
20082Could it be that he had planned this sudden sending of young Dean on a desperate mission in revenge that he could not take officially?
20082Did n''t that bullet crease it?"
20082Did you see any Indians?"
20082Do you know who Lizette is?"
20082Do you think Mr. Dean will care to come?"
20082Father, where is he?
20082Fletcher?"
20082Had he really so misjudged, so wronged this gentleman?
20082Have you heard anything of Hal, sir?"
20082Her voice was far from cordial as she asked:"Were you looking for any one, Mrs. Fletcher?
20082How did you leave them?
20082How is she this morning?"
20082How many were there?"
20082I wonder what that means?"
20082Is Hal here-- or coming?"
20082Is it true that Major Burleigh has gone thither?"
20082Lizette,"he cried,"you again?
20082May I push on to- night?"
20082Merciful heaven, man, who''s to help us?
20082Might it not be that if relief came not speedily Papa Folsom would yield to the spell and fall asleep in his easy- chair?
20082Now I ask you as man to man what it is you have to tell?
20082Now, Jake and Lannion could have shot them down and borne him within, but to what good?
20082One by being informed through some half- breed spy, lurking about Frayne; but then who would be dastard enough to send such word?
20082See here, man, you do n''t mean to say it is because he did n''t get here three days ago?
20082She says she needed air and a walk, but why should she have chosen the back- gate and the alley as a way to air and sunshine?"
20082She would inquire of Mrs. Fletcher, and meantime would the major step inside?
20082Sure, you''re not hit?"
20082The precious package for which so much had been risked was here-- but what detained the command?
20082The woman, I believe, who accidentally scared your horse and threw you?"
20082Then lowering his voice,"Has Captain Newhall returned?"
20082Then, said Burleigh, would n''t Folsom go on his note, so that he could borrow at the bank?
20082There''s nothing we can do here, is there?
20082Was a boy lieutenant to shame him before officers of the general''s staff and expect to go unwhipped?
20082Was he there?"
20082Was it not Miss Folsom''s duty to descend and take the burden of entertainment off those elder shoulders?
20082Was n''t it romantic?
20082Was that butt- headed subaltern to be the means of ruining his prospects right here and now when he stood so sorely in need of aid?
20082What can I tell them?"
20082What can have detained him, do you think?"
20082What could be the secret of that woman''s intense watchfulness?
20082What could have lured them into that gloomy rift at such a time?
20082What could laborers do with their money up there, even if they had it?
20082What did these women mean by telling me I must have a, companion-- a guide-- etc.?"
20082What do you suppose I studied housekeeping for at school?
20082What does he know about it?
20082What does it all mean?"
20082What had he done with it?
20082What had he to fear?
20082What if Folsom would back him?
20082What inspiration had led Dean out of it?
20082What is wrong?"
20082What made him hurry us away from the northeast point, do you suppose?"
20082What officer or government employà © revealed the fact that Dean was going with so much treasure?--and what could have been his object?
20082What shall we do if he hangs on?
20082What took him out to the fort, do you suppose?"
20082What was to prevent?
20082When did you leave the ranch?
20082Where do the boys meet you?"
20082Where on earth had he heard that voice before?
20082Where was he to raise the ten thousand dollars that must be sent to the post quartermaster at Warrior Gap?
20082Where were the rest?
20082Where''s the rest of the troop?"
20082Which way were they coming?"
20082Which would see the other first?
20082Who are you?"
20082Who could assure her they would not have another pitched battle?
20082Who could have given such an order?
20082Who could have predicted that?
20082Who could say that the fate that befell the garrison at Warrior Gap might not await the troop when next it rode away?
20082Who could they be?"
20082Who said I was going out?"
20082Who would have imagined payment would have to be made before July, when some reasonable amount of work had been done?
20082Who''s to protect these poor women and children if we go?
20082Who, then, could have opened both blind and door and let in that flood of light?
20082Why did they not return?
20082Why do these-- these people at the fort hem and haw and hesitate when they speak about him?
20082Why do you ask?"
20082Why does n''t he come?
20082Why should human hands be so stealthy?
20082Why were they hiding here in the ravine, instead of marching?
20082Why were they so few in number?
20082Why, what show would those fellows have with their old squirrel rifles and gas- pipe Springfields against our new breech- loaders?
20082Would Folsom go in with him, put up twelve thousand five hundred, and Burleigh would do the rest?
20082Yet almost the first question was,"Did you see any Indians?"
20082You do n''t care to go on this ride this morning one bit, do you dear?"
20082You got buffalo meat?"
20082You have only known Major Burleigh a little while, is it not so?"
20082You know it was all ordered on Burleigh''s urging and representations, do you not?"
20082You will come back, Loomis?"
20082gasped Elinor,"you do n''t mean they attacked the ranch?"
20082he cried, in the tongue he knew so well"Are my brothers crazed?
20082she cried, as she seized the swarthy young fellow''s hands and shook them up and down"Do n''t you know me-- Winona that used to be?
20082what are you doing?"
20082why it''s one of Godfrey''s--''The Hilda,''do n''t you know?
11151''Do you know Tom O''Reilly?'' 11151 ''Is that the only way?''
11151''Shall I make him my husband?'' 11151 ''What isht yees want?''
11151''Will ye marry him this same night?'' 11151 A white man, does ye say, that run off wid Miss Cora?"
11151All right-- all be good-- like Miss Harvey?
11151An''what if we did, zur? 11151 And could not Teddy have obtained his of such a man?"
11151And he wishes me to see him; is that it?
11151And how do you suppose I feel, Teddy?
11151And what does ye make of it, Miss Cora, or Master Harvey?
11151And you''ve been huntin''''i m these three or four months be you?
11151Are there not some of your people who are addicted to the use of liquor?
11151Are you the man, Brazey, who has haunted me ever since we came in this country? 11151 Arrah, be aisy now; is n''t it me master he''s after, and what''s the difference?
11151Arrah, now, has either of ye saan anything more than the same bowlders there?
11151Brazey, why have you haunted me thus, and done me this great wrong?
11151But, Teddy, what made him do it?
11151Can I ask more?
11151Can it be that Bra-- that that hunter has done me this great wrong?
11151Cora, Cora, what is the matter? 11151 Cora, are you sorry that we came into this wild country?"
11151Cora, has he harmed you?
11151Could n''t yees be doing that, and this same thing, too?
11151Did I not do right, Cora?
11151Did n''t yees pursue the subjact any further?
11151Did yees ever hear him?
11151Did you ever give it him before?
11151Do n''t want more?
11151Do n''t yer s''pose I know all about_ that_?
11151Do n''t you notice any difference in the atmosphere, Cora?
11151Do ye know?
11151Do you not become lonely sometimes, Cora, hundreds of miles away from the scenes of your childhood?
11151Do you turn off here?
11151Does he want kill you?
11151Harvey Richter-- don''t you know me?
11151Harvey Richter-- don''t you know me?
11151Has anything befallen your husband?
11151Has such been the revenge that he has been harboring up for so many years? 11151 Have I not my husband and boy?"
11151Have you come a long distance?
11151Have you lost your way, At- to- uck?
11151How do you do, Teddy?
11151How do you know she ca n''t be got agin, whin--"She was tomahawked afore my eyes-- ain''t that enough?
11151How do you know? 11151 How far away is The- au- o- too?"
11151I am displeased, for your shot might have taken his life, and-- but, see yonder, Teddy, what does that mean?
11151I knew that I should look upon your face again; but, till me where it is yees have come from?
11151I think it is more in accordance with your own disposition,smiled the wife,"is it not?"
11151If we think of rest at this early stage in our lives, how will it be when we become thirty or forty years older?
11151Indians? 11151 Is n''t that proof that we''ve attracted attention?"
11151Like Miss Harvey-- good man''s squaw-- t''ink she be good woman?
11151Me honey, is n''t there an airthquake agitatin''this solitude?
11151My quarrel is not with you, I tell you, but with your psalm- singing_ master_--"And ai n''t that_ meself_?
11151Nebber know what he do-- how me know?
11151No, no, no, Harvey; have you not already killed him?
11151Not always, or how could I be an Irishman? 11151 Now, me butternut friend, what''bjections have yees to that?"
11151Sign o''what?
11151Teddy, do n''t you remember day before yesterday when we came out of the Mississippi into this stream, we observed something very similar to this?
11151Teddy, where have you been?
11151Then some one must furnish him with it, and who now can it be?
11151Then why does n''t ye come to hear him preach, ye rose of the wilderness?
11151Thin what does ye mane by talking in that shtyle? 11151 Tim, could n''t yees make the s''arch wid me?"
11151Tired out?
11151Was n''t that about as poor a business, for yees, as this be for me, barring yees was hunting for an old man and I''m hunting for a young woman?
11151Was she a swateheart?
11151Well, At- to- uck, what is the matter now?
11151What be yees waiting for?
11151What can it all mean?
11151What do you mean then?
11151What do you mean, At- to- uck?
11151What do you say, now?
11151What do you wish?
11151What good might result from that?
11151What have you done with her?
11151What if I does lose a few peltries when they''re bringing such a good price down in St. Louey? 11151 What is it ye say, Mister Harvey?"
11151What is it yees have diskivered?
11151What is it?
11151What is up now?
11151What might be the reason for that?
11151What must I do, Cora? 11151 What time might it be jist now?"
11151What''s the matter, Mister Harvey? 11151 When Mister Harvey go to village?"
11151When come back?
11151Where Misser Richter?
11151Where Mr. Harvey go, if not in cabin?
11151Where Ted?
11151Where does yees get the jug?
11151Where has the owld divil carried her?
11151Where is he?
11151Who do you wish to see then?
11151Who knows but Master Harvey has gone to the village, and Miss Cora stands in the door this minute,''xpacting this owld spalpaan?
11151Who may it be then?
11151Why do you come in their neighborhood-- in their country?
11151Why do you think so?
11151Why you not stay with squaw?
11151Wo n''t that spake for itself?
11151Wo n''t you come in and rest yourself until Mr. Richter returns?
11151Would ye have me give up the s''arch altogether?
11151Yer oughter come; and that minds me I''ve never saan ye around the village, for which I axes yees the raison?
11151Yes, my son; do you hear the bell?
11151You are not a Sioux, then?
11151You are perfectly contented-- happy, are you?
11151You give me your promise, then, that ye''ll niver furnish me anither drap?
11151You not ax for jug, eh? 11151 You would not change it for a residence at home with your own people if you could?"
11151_ Me_ make you drink him?
11151''You have treated him ill.''"''That I know I have,''she sobbed,''and how can I do him justice?''
11151An''be what token would they be acquaint with her?"
11151And what father does not hold precisely the same opinion of his young hopeful?
11151And what husband could prevent them?"
11151And who could this enemy be?
11151And ye have n''t caught a glimpse of the gal nor heard nothin''of her?"
11151Are you the person who carried away poor, dear Cora?"
11151Be yees listening, ye riptile?
11151But does your heart tell you you are at peace with Him whom you have offended so grievously?"
11151But s''pose, my friend, you go on this way for a year more-- what then?"
11151Ca n''t I afford to do it, when there''s a gal in the matter?"
11151Can it be?
11151Can you not welcome me?"
11151Did you see him?"
11151Do you hear?".
11151Do you suppose I could have come as near and_ missed_ without doing so on_ purpose_?
11151Does ye take him for a michanic, who goes to work as soon as he swallows his bread and mate?"
11151Does yees consint?''
11151Harvey?"
11151How bees it with yourself, Mistress Cora?"
11151Is it run or fight?"
11151Is n''t it time to bring Dolly home?"
11151Is there anything I can do for you?"
11151Is this you, Brazey Davis?"
11151Let me see, he has been away since morning?"
11151Let me see, you said it war nigh onto three months ago, warn''t it?"
11151Mahogany?"
11151Mister Harvey?"
11151Naught else?
11151On reaching the edge of the Clearing Teddy asked, abruptly:"If the haythen comes back to the cabin while we''s be gone?"
11151S''pose I should git on the trail that is lost, can yer tell me how fur I''d have to foller it?
11151Supposing one to have gazed from this stand- point, what would have been his field of vision?
11151Teddy_ sad_?
11151The Injin''l''git a good start on us, wo n''t he though?"
11151The dull click of the lock reached the ear of the target, who asked, in a low, gruff voice:"Why do_ you_ seek me?
11151The face of the Irishman was as dejected as his own, and the widowed man knew there was scarce need of the question:"Have you heard anything, Teddy?"
11151They were upon the point of landing so as to kindle a fire, when Mr. Richter spoke:"Do you notice that large island in the stream, Cora?
11151This afternoon, an Indian came in the house and threatened the life of both my wife and child--""Where the divil is he?"
11151What could be the object in firing at the missionary, yet taking pains that no harm should be inflicted?
11151What could have been more desirable than to unite with them in a country where whites were so scarce, and almost unknown?
11151What else could I mean?"
11151What is the meaning of this?"
11151What think you, dear wife?"
11151What thus alarmed him?
11151What''s the matter with yees now?"
11151What''s the matter?"
11151What''s- your- name?"
11151Where does yees get the jug?"
11151Where have you concealed yourself?
11151Where is it ye secures the vallyble contents?"
11151Why did n''t ye pause, and sarve me then jist as ye have done?
11151Why did n''t ye stick to it, and jist give me a chance to express meself?
11151Why this untimely pleasantry?"
11151Would you not prefer that as a landing- place?"
11151Yees never did, eh?
11151Yer do n''t s''pose that feller was able to keep paddlin''forever in the river, do yer?
11151You not want him?"
11151[ Illustration:"Harvey Richter-- don''t you know me?"
11151[ Illustration:"Where does yees get the jug?"]
11151_ Is_ it yerself, Mister Harvey, out in these woods, or is it yer ghost on the s''arch for Misthress Cora?
11151but do n''t ye saa those same bushes moving?
11151but do ye_ saa_ him?
11151he asked, steadying himself against a sapling,"or am I standing on a jug?"
11151hear groan?
11151she asked, shaking like a leaf,''and who are yees?''
11151shrieked the gal, as if she''d go down upon the ground,''and how shall I save meself?''
11151what can be the m''aning of that?"
11151where could he obtain it?"
11151yees are gone already, bees you?"
15205''And who hath done this cruel thing?'' 15205 And fears not my daughter the evil spirit?
15205Cure this fever? 15205 Hath no man condemned thee, woman?"
15205How''s thet?
15205Lists the chief to the cataract''s roar for the mournful lament of the Spirit? 15205 My Father,"she said, and her words were low,"Why should I fear?
15205My dear little pet, where''s the camphor?
15205My father,she said, and her voice was filial and full of compassion,"Would the heart of Ta- té- psin rejoice at the death of Winona, his daughter?
15205Then I ponder, and I wonder Was some heart- chord snapped asunder When the threads were soft and silken? 15205 Then she sighed:''Paul, can you leave me?
15205What can we reason, but from what we know?
15205Who says I can not,Stibor cried,"Do whatsoe''er I will?
15205Woman, where are thine accusers?
15205_ Man, hast thou traced The blood that throbs commingled in thy veins? 15205 _ Tanke_[AK], is the White Chief to blame?"
152052._]"What hear I at the gateway ringing?
15205A round of delight from the blink of morn till the moon rose laughing at night?
15205And can ye rectify God''s mighty plan?
15205And dares the tall coward to say me no?"
15205And he my rival-- carrying off my prize?
15205And hopes the minstrel''s Father- land?
15205And in my ears the passing years Will sadly whisper words of rue: Forget-- and yet-- can I forget That one was false and one was true?
15205And is the soul not worthier than the dust?
15205And is there life beyond this life below?
15205And life was a pleasure unvexed, unmingled with sorrow and pain?
15205And mother-- she sits in the cottage- door; But her heart is out on the sea; And she sighs,"Will my sailor- boy come no more?
15205And saw ye the desperate surging of battle?
15205And she replied:"''My darling, can I rest While you are full of sorrow?
15205And these-- are they our prophets and our priests?
15205And what cares he for his father''s grief?
15205And what of the lovers?
15205And what to do?
15205And whence are the years?
15205And where the master hand that swept the lyre Till wrinkled critics cried"Excelsior"?
15205And whitherward rideth the chief to- day?
15205Are our names on their lips, is our comfort their care When they kneel to the God of our fathers in prayer?
15205Are the feet of the enemy nigh,-- of the crafty and cruel Ojibways?
15205Are your eyes as bright and beautiful, Your cheeks as full of glow, As when the school- boy kissed you, May, Twenty years ago?
15205As the lady stepped down With a fret and a frown, She sighed half aloud,"Where is dear Captain Brown?"
15205Aye, and is it not better if only the dead soul knew?
15205Aye, and is it not better than sleeping the dreamless sleep?
15205Aye, and is it not better, if only the dead soul knew?
15205Aye, and is it not better, if only the dead soul knew?
15205Aye, and is it not better, if only the dead soul knew?
15205Aye, but what of the breath Blown out of the bosom of God?
15205Aye, is death death?--or but a happy change From night to light-- on angel wings to range, And sing the songs of seraphs as we go?
15205BEYOND White- haired and hoary- bearded, who art thou That speedest on, albeit bent with age, Even as a youth that followeth after dreams?
15205Bearest thou the hope-- upon thy radiant wing-- Of Immortality, O soft, celestial Spring?
15205But shall I toil in poverty for years To learn a science that so seldom yields Or wealth or honor save to silvered heads?
15205But the May- days pass and the brave Chaskè[ 17] O why does the lover so long delay?
15205But what cared I?
15205But what of the venomous Hârpstinà-- The serpent that tempted the proud Red Cloud, And kindled revenge in his savage soul?
15205But where is Wiwâstè?
15205But where is Wiwâstè?
15205But why did the lover so long delay?
15205Can they cross the ambushed river?
15205DO THEY THINK OF US?
15205Dare you swing above the billows-- Swing like me above the billows?"
15205Dead Ashes, what do you care if it storm, if it shine, if it shower?
15205Dead?
15205Dead?
15205Dear Ladies, beware; Dear Ladies, take care-- How you play with a lion asleep in his lair:"Mere trifling flirtations"--these arts you employ?
15205Did some fatal boyish blunder Plant a canker in my bosom That hath ever burned and rankled?
15205Do they call him a coward?
15205Do they think of us, say-- in the far distant West-- On the Prairies of Peace, in the Valleys of Rest?
15205Do you hear the thunder of their big guns?
15205Dreamed?
15205Dust to dust: What is gained when all is lost?
15205Faith how in the divil d''ye think Oi can tell Till Oi hear the ividince?"
15205Fantastic phantasms fly before the light-- Pale, gibbering ghosts and ghouls and goblin fears: Man who hath walked in sleep-- what thousands years?
15205From his last long sleep will the warrior wake?
15205From out the silence came a voice-- A voice that thrilled me through and through, And said,"Alas, is this your choice?
15205Great_ Unktéhee_--god of waters-- lifts no more his mighty head; Fled he with the timid otters?--lies he in the cavern dead?
15205Has her fair face fled from his memory?
15205Has she gone to the spirits?
15205Has the heart been oppressed with a burden of woe?
15205Has the spirit been cowed by a merciless blow?
15205Has the tongue of the brave or the voice of the fair Prayed to God and received no response to its prayer?
15205Have you met some evil spirit-- Met some goblin in the forest?
15205Heap o''er their heads sweet praise or calumny-- Think ye their moldering ashes hear or care?
15205Heard ye the cannon- roar down by Stone River?
15205Heard ye the shout and the roar and the rattle?
15205Her feet are fleet, but the flying feet Of the steeds of the prairies are fleeter still; And where can she fly for a safe retreat?
15205Hold them?
15205Hold them?
15205How can they pass the wood?
15205How named the minstrel''s Father- land?
15205I answered:"''Friend, I hope this prophecy Will prove you a false prophet; but, my Paul, Have you no farewells for your friends at home?
15205In my old age forsaken, alone, must I die in my teepee of hunger?
15205Is he dead?
15205Is it true?--will the spirits of kinsmen come And bid the bones of the brave arise?
15205Is this the Indian summer of my days-- Wealth without care and love without desire?
15205Is this the fruitage promised by the spring?
15205Is this the golden age, or the age of gold?
15205Is_ Ta- ó- ya- te- dú- ta_ without scalps?
15205Lo The worm that crawls from out the sun- touched sand, What knows he of the huge, round, rolling Earth?
15205Lo from the Indian Isle thou dost appear, And dost a thousand pleasures with thee bring: But why to us art thou so ever dear?
15205Mary--(Mary I will call you--''Tis not the old- time name) Sainted Mary-- blue- eyed Mary-- Are you in heaven the same?
15205Might I not see her face, And she not know I cared to look upon it?
15205Must I die in his_ teepee_ of sorrow?
15205Must I tremble in this fever?
15205Must Winona, alas, make her choice-- make her choice between death and Tamdóka?
15205Nay-- no balm to soothe and quell me?
15205No message for a nearer, dearer one?''
15205No tidings came-- nor the brave Chaskè: O why did the lover so long delay?
15205O living breath, Whence are thou, and whither so soon to fly?
15205O pygmies, can ye measure God himself?
15205O where is she-- The virgin avenged-- the queenly queen-- The womanly woman-- the heroine?
15205O why did I hark to the cry of scorn, Or the words of the lying libertine?
15205O why did the chief of the tall_ Hóhè_ His feet from_ Kapóza_[6] so long delay?
15205On his hateful couch shall Winona lie?
15205On the long dusty march when the suntide is hot, O say, are their sons and their brothers forgot?
15205On the rugged coast of Maine Stands the frugal farmer''s cot: What if drive the sleet and rain?
15205Only a handful of ashes Moldering down into dust?
15205Over thy shoulder hast thou cast a glance On thine old Celtic- Saxon- Norman sires-- Huddled in squalid huts on beds of straw?
15205Rear monuments of fame or flattery-- Think ye their sleeping souls are made aware?
15205Saw ye the bleeding braves stagger and quiver?
15205Scribes and Pharisees surround me: Thou art writing in the sand: Must I perish, Son of Mary?
15205Seated by their blazing hearth-- John and Hannah-- snug and warm-- What if darkness wrap the earth?
15205Shall I overtake Their flying feet in the star- lit sky?
15205Shall I sit at the feet of the treacherous brave?
15205Shall he not break the galling, brazen bonds That bind him writhing on the wheel of fate?
15205Shall she kindle his fire like a coward slave?
15205Shall we give him a fish-- or a serpent-- Who stretches his hand in his need?
15205She flies-- but what can her flight avail?
15205She sits on the rock by the sounding shore, And gazes over the sea; And she sighs,"Will my sailor- boy come no more?
15205Sleep ye as slept the"Notables"of France, While under them an hundred Ætnas hissed And spluttered sulphur, gathering for the shock?
15205Softly she spoke to the sullen brave:"Mah- pí- ya Dúta-- his face is sad; And why is the warrior so glum and grave?
15205Tell me, Paul, Why should you mourn your tender life away?
15205The Earth revolving round her sire, the Sun, Measures the flying year of mortal man, But who shall measure God''s eternal year?
15205The Virgins''Feast is a sacred thing; How durst she enter the Virgins''ring?
15205The earth is but a grain of sand-- An atom in a shoreless sea; A million worlds lie in God''s hand-- Yea, myriad millions-- what are we?
15205The fool-- born wise-- what need hath he to learn?
15205The past,--shall we stop to regret it?
15205The short-- the flying hour is past, The warders have bared his breast; The bugler bugles a doleful blast; Will the pale knight stand the test?
15205The wit and wisdom of five thousand years-- What are they but the husks we feed upon, While beast and bird devour the golden grain?
15205Then I awoke as from a dream and said:''Tell me, beloved, why you come to me In this dark hour-- so late-- so desolate?''
15205Then is there nothing left but dust?
15205Those dear, rosy lips-- tho''I never caressed them(?)
15205To you, O chosen makers of the laws, The nation looks-- and shall it look in vain?
15205Was he slain by the crafty Tamdóka?
15205We know not what life is; how may we know Death-- what it is, or what may lie beyond?
15205What bard upon the drawbridge singing?
15205What cares he if his cheeks are tinged and tanned By thy warm sunshine- kiss and by thy breezes bland?
15205What hunter will bring me the deer, or the flesh of the bear or the bison?
15205What is the soul, and whither will it fly?
15205What is,--shall we falter and fall?
15205What of the spirit that breathed And burned in the temple of clay?
15205What recks the tiller of his toil in May?
15205What to him are the years who sleeps in her bosom there?
15205What to him is the cry wrung out of the souls of men?
15205What would the minstrel''s Father- land?
15205What''ll we du fer pans un pails When the cow comes in un the old uns fails?
15205When at night on their warm, downy pillows they lie, Wrapped in comfort and ease, do they think of us, say?
15205When did he leave his braves behind him on the war- path and turn back to his_ teepees_?
15205When did he run away from his enemies?
15205When the rain patters down on the roof overhead, Do they think of the camps without shelter or bed?
15205Whence are thy feet, and whither trends thy way?
15205Where is Mauley-- grim and steady, Shall his brave deed be forgot?
15205Where is the minstrel''s Father- land?
15205Where lie the bounds of Space and whither dwells The Power unseen-- the infinite Unknown?
15205Where pipes the silver- fluted whippowil?
15205Where sleeps the modest bard in Quaker gray Who blew the pibroch ere the battle lowered, Then pitched his tent upon the balmy beach?
15205Who knoweth not the past how may he know The folly or the wisdom of to- day?
15205Who knows your noble names?
15205Who made it, and who made The Maker?
15205Who now shall sing their fame and deeds, Or sift their ashes from the sands?
15205Who will sing of these-- Sing of the patriot- deeds on field and flood-- Of these-- the truer heroes-- all unsung?
15205Whom calls the minstrel''s Father- land?
15205Why weeps the minstrel''s Father- land?
15205Will he never come back to me?"
15205Will he never come back to me?"
15205Will the morning break in Wakâwa''s tomb, As it breaks and glows in the eastern skies?
15205Will the warrior sit like a girl bereft, When fairer and truer than she are left, That love Red Cloud as they love their life?
15205Wilt thou give the stern command?
15205Yea, but what Master?
15205You have fought Ever like a hero-- do you falter now?''
15205[ Illustration:"''DEAR CHILDREN?
15205alas, And why did I fly from my native land To die by the cruel Ojibway''s hand?"
15205has the farmer- guide Led them astray and lied?
15205or is it a dream-- Only the voice of a dream?
15205or is it a dream?
15205what have I to live And suffer for?
28115A scout?
28115All of us?
28115All right,he said,"what am I to do?"
28115An''both o''you hev got your minds plum''made up''bout it?
28115An''whar would we fetch up?
28115An''what do you happen to need me fur, Jim Boyd?
28115And does Xingudan see that?
28115And for that reason, you think we should turn to the north instead, and go deeper into the mountains?
28115And so you look for a real chase?
28115And the hardest push will be on the flanks?
28115And the vast beaver colony that I''m going to find some day?
28115And then?
28115And we wo n''t keep going for the same village?
28115And we''d have little chance against a big Sioux band?
28115And what becomes of our quest?
28115And why are you surprised, young William?
28115And with you, our faithful four- footed friends, and with the packs that are so needful to us?
28115And you are in full agreement with this, James Boyd?
28115And you are in full agreement with this, too, Thomas Bent?
28115And you feel sure there is no danger? 28115 And you think we may be seen by some such hunters?"
28115And you, Giant?
28115Anything besides tracks of animals?
28115But wo n''t the buffaloes stop and drink it up?
28115But wo n''t they find our trail up the cliff?
28115But you''ll permit us to pass the night in your camp, Captain?
28115Can they be so near as that?
28115Could he have been out here somewhere when the Captain, Will''s father, found it, and have got some hint about its discovery? 28115 Did n''t I tell you they were first class mountain climbers?"
28115Did n''t I tell you, Will, that he was a wonder with the rifle?
28115Did n''t I tell you?
28115Did you ever notice that boy''s ways with hosses an''mules?
28115Did you find water, young William?
28115Did you hear it? 28115 Did you see any sheep?"
28115Do n''t we need to keep a watch?
28115Do n''t you know enough of this mighty West not to be surprised at anything?
28115Do n''t you think, Jim,said young Clarke,"that you might take a little sleep this afternoon?
28115Do you know anything about the country beyond the White Dome?
28115Do you know where you are, Wayaka?
28115Do you mean by that could we find game enough?
28115Do you think it likely that they know the pass?
28115Do you two fellers want a hired man?
28115Do you want to try''em too, Jim?
28115Does it make your head ache much?
28115Elk?
28115Give''em a hint, so to speak, Jim?
28115Go back up the mountain?
28115Going back a moment to the search you were making a little while ago, have you noticed the footprints of any wild animals?
28115How do they all live? 28115 How do you know that?"
28115How do you know that?
28115How far do you think we''ve come into the mountains?
28115How high up did you say we wuz here, young William, ten miles above the level o''the sea?
28115How high would you say that peak wuz, young William?
28115How long have you been here?
28115How old would you say they are, Pehansan?
28115How so?
28115How''re they behavin''?
28115How, O Waditaka?
28115If the worst came to the worst, could we live up there on one of those slopes, a while?
28115If there''s a stream, do we camp by it?
28115Is n''t that a creek down there?
28115Is n''t this about the same direction that Red Cloud and his warriors took?
28115Is there no danger here from the Sioux?
28115It would be a good plan, would n''t it, to slay them whenever we can in order that they may be food for one another?
28115It''s likely, in any event, that we''ll be followed, is n''t it?
28115Lost their paymaster, eh?
28115Might it not stop them entirely?
28115Might n''t they come along the cliff and find us here?
28115Not even the kind I''m tellin''you''bout?
28115Now, ai n''t this a nice, narrow pass? 28115 Now, what are you goin''to do with him?"
28115Of course we could, but we''d have to abandon the horses and mules and all our packs and stores, and then where would we be?
28115See something?
28115Shall we get safely out of this?
28115Sioux?
28115So that''s thar trick?
28115Something living then?
28115Then do you think I''d better?
28115Then how are they going to get at us?
28115Then what are we to do, Roka? 28115 Then what do you expect?"
28115Then why does that gloom set upon your brow?
28115They''ll have to do a lot better than that, wo n''t they, Giant?
28115Think you that the snow is now too soft to bear the weight of the wolves?
28115Well, what did you find?
28115What about Jim, watching at the mouth of the pass?
28115What about the Sioux who were on the heights throwing down the rocks?
28115What are they doing, young William?
28115What are you looking at now, Jim? 28115 What are you looking at so long?"
28115What became of him?
28115What can it be? 28115 What did you find in the valley itself, Jim?"
28115What diff''unce does that make? 28115 What do you find so funny?"
28115What do you intend to do with me?
28115What do you make out, young William?
28115What do you see, Young William?
28115What do you see?
28115What do you think of our plan of going straight ahead as soon as we can travel, and passing over the left shoulder of the White Dome?
28115What does it mean?
28115What does that mean?
28115What does''wamdadan''mean?
28115What does''winihinca''mean, and why do you laugh?
28115What else do we need? 28115 What for, Jim?"
28115What good will the gold be to us if we''re all froze to death under fifty feet o''snow?
28115What is it, Jim?
28115What is it, Will?
28115What is it?
28115What is it?
28115What is it?
28115What is it?
28115What is it?
28115What is it?
28115What is that?
28115What kind of a hired man?
28115What makes you so happy?
28115What tracks? 28115 What tricks?"
28115What was it?
28115What was it?
28115What was the command, Roka?
28115What was the message, Roka( Badger)?
28115What''s Xenophon?
28115What''s that got to do with it? 28115 What''s that, Jim Boyd?"
28115What''s that, Steve?
28115What''s that?
28115What''s the use o''bein''an opty- mist ef you do n''t optymize?
28115What''s your drift, Jim?
28115What, Jim?
28115What?
28115Where?
28115Which course will we take, Jim?
28115Who is the Indian chief?
28115Who is the spokesman?
28115Why bother about wild animals? 28115 Why do you do that, Heraka?"
28115Why do you say that, Heraka?
28115Why have you come here?
28115Why have you come to the land of the Dakotas?
28115Why not go up the slope on the right?
28115Why not?
28115Will you read them?
28115Would n''t it be better for us to draw back a little where we can remain hidden among the brakes?
28115Would n''t it be well, Giant, when the bombardment lets up, to gather together our own little army and take to flight up the pass?
28115Would n''t they be glad to get at us?
28115Would you mind untying my ankles?
28115You do n''t have any fear that the troops will come after us and make us go back?
28115You do n''t see any more Indians?
28115You got a good sight of the Indian, did you, Tom?
28115You''ve seen one of them?
28115About midnight now, is n''t it, Will?"
28115Ai n''t I right, young William?"
28115Am I right or am I wrong?"
28115And what''s the best thing for us to do?"
28115And yet what human being could be out there in that lone mountain valley in the wild snow storm?
28115And you predict that we''ll do it a second time, do n''t you?"
28115Are you shore, young William, that thar ai n''t imps an''critters o''that kind on the tops o''high mountings, waitin''fur innocent fellers like us?"
28115Bent?"
28115Boyd?"
28115But can we keep him, Xingudan?
28115But hev you found that huge beaver colony you say is somewhar in the northwestern mountings, the biggest colony the world hez ever knowed?"
28115Ca n''t you make out a new word?"
28115Can you not reach him with an arrow from your great elkhorn bow?"
28115Can you still see the two wings, Will?"
28115Could he refuse to believe what he thought he saw?
28115Could it be true?
28115Could those men be dead?
28115Did n''t you say thar was that much, young William?"
28115Did you ever see or hear of this man before?"
28115Do n''t you see it that way, Giant?"
28115Do n''t you think so, young William?"
28115Do n''t you think?"
28115Do n''t you understand, Giant, that to get the Clarke gold we''ll have to pay the price?
28115Do we start right away?"
28115Do we, Roka?
28115Do we, Waditaka?"
28115Do you hear anything among the cottonwoods on the creek, Giant?"
28115Do you look for''em to cross the creek?"
28115Do you mean to say you''ve got a home here?"
28115Do you see any more smokes, Will?"
28115Do you see something stirring down thar''mong the little cedars?
28115Do you stan''his dare, young William, or are you goin''to climb over thar whar he is an''hev it out with him?"
28115Do you think I''d forget what Uncle Pete said to me on his dyin''bed, an''get out o''patience?
28115Do you think you can wait patiently at this place till I come with''em?"
28115Do you think your father ever mentioned it to anyone else?"
28115Do you think, Giant, that Felton could have had a line on our mine?"
28115Do you think, Jim, them in front hev now rid within range?"
28115Do you think, young William, that a glacier is comin''right squar''down on us?"
28115Does n''t he fill you chock full of confidence, Will?"
28115Have n''t I heard a rhyme like that somewhere, young William?"
28115Have you thought of that, Jim?"
28115He thumped himself twice upon the chest, and then said in a loud, clear voice:"Does anyone here wish to question the merit of my son, Waditaka?
28115How are my mules gettin''on, Jim?"
28115How does it happen that you''re immune?"
28115Is he not as brave as the bravest, and does he not think further ahead than any other warrior in the village?"
28115Is it north, or south, or is it east or west?"
28115Is n''t it a beauty?
28115Is that smoke or is it just mist?"
28115Is that so?"
28115It was like a song, but it was evident that someone was entering their happy valley, and in that wilderness who could come but an enemy?
28115It was n''t Felton, was it?"
28115Just what are you looking for, Jim?"
28115Might he not in doing so give some hint that could be used against them?
28115Moose, then?"
28115Now what is it, young William?"
28115Now, Will, will you go back where the animals are and cook us a good supper, including coffee?
28115Now, since you''ve been scouting about, what do you think we ought to do?"
28115Now, what do you think we ought to do?"
28115Oh, we''d make out, would n''t we, Tom?"
28115The Little Giant noticed the shudder in the lad''s tones, and he asked more seriously:"Signs of hostile bands comin'', young William?"
28115The chief rode on in silence for at least ten minutes and then he asked:"Which way do you ride, Wayaka( captive)?
28115The three lay very close together, and Will heard the hunter whisper to the Little Giant:"How much nearer do you think I ought to let''em come, Tom?"
28115The wise Boyd, the cheerful Little Giant, and the grave and kindly Brady?
28115There, did n''t I tell you?
28115This, I suppose, is where we mean to stay awhile?"
28115Was it possible that this man knew anything of his father''s great mine?
28115We kin see pretty nigh ez good in the dark ez in the light, ca n''t we, Jim Boyd?"
28115What about those who are left in the center?"
28115What are they up to?"
28115What did you say my share would be, young William, a matter o''a million or a half million?"
28115What do you mean?"
28115What do you see elsewhere on the plain, Jim?"
28115What do you see now, young William?"
28115What do you see now, young William?"
28115What do you think?"
28115What do your glasses tell us about it?"
28115What does it mean, Jim?"
28115What does the answer signify?"
28115What does the other half of the army say?"
28115What has he to say?"
28115What is it?"
28115What is your name?"
28115What more could you ask?
28115What more do you see through those glasses of yours, Will?"
28115What power moved them out of a vast and unknown region into another region, alike vast and unknown?
28115What say you, Will?"
28115What say you, Will?"
28115What say you?"
28115What''s a matter o''twenty or thirty years?
28115What''s the matter with our horses?"
28115Where do they find enough grass to eat?"
28115Where else in the mountains could we have found such a refuge for our animals and ourselves?"
28115Who are you?"
28115Whom do you mean?"
28115Why does he talk of a great mine for which we''re looking?
28115Why should n''t he?
28115Will he not go back to his own people when the chance comes?"
28115Will you enter into full partnership with us in this great enterprise?
28115Will you let me take another and thorough look at your map, William?"
28115Would it be wise to ask about his friends?
28115Wuz it jest a faint hope, one chance in a million that trappers might be here in the valley?"
28115You hevn''t seen the Sioux at work with lances, hev you, young William?"
28115asked Will,"a mammoth or a mastodon?"
28115he said,"and would n''t they like to sink their teeth in the giant bull here?
42150A hard fighter?
42150An Arkansas regiment?
42150And Tommy?
42150And why,he continued, addressing Jim,"did n''t you want to be dragged into it, as you say?"
42150And you?
42150Are n''t you in the service?
42150Are n''t you the proud boy, though, over this great victory?
42150Are the rebels at Arrow Rock part of Price''s main army?
42150Are they going to try some more of their dash this evening, after all they''ve done to- day?
42150Are they trying to scare the bar out of the river?
42150Are you enlisted?
42150Are you going to Glasgow?
42150Are you sure of what you say?
42150Aw, how do I know?
42150Bushwhackers?--Guerillas?
42150But how are we to get away?
42150But what can bring Tom home so soon? 42150 But what else can be done?
42150But where in the south?
42150But you are a Union sympathizer?
42150But you are sure he has not the white child with him now?
42150Ca n''t you let a fellow alone? 42150 Can it possibly be you, so big and strong?
42150Captain Miner?
42150Captain Yeager? 42150 Did he have the white child with him then?"
42150Did n''t expect what?
42150Did you bring my calico, papa?
42150Did you get my coyote trap, papa?
42150Did you say that Major Galbraith''s company is made up of half- breeds?
42150Did you think you''d get rid of me that way?
42150Do n''t you know, two or three weeks ago a band of guerillas got the_ North Wind_ somewhere between Lexington and Miami? 42150 Do you know what would happen if I sent them back?"
42150Do you know whether they attacked the steamer_ North Wind_ on her way down?
42150Do you suppose I could find a place to- morrow?
42150Do you think he would?
42150Do you want to fight if there is an engagement?
42150Er-- ah-- partisan rangers?
42150Excuse me, madam,said he, gravely,"but is this where Mrs. Thomas Briscoe lives?"
42150Fifty dollars?
42150Good God, where have you been?
42150Has Te- o- kun- ko a white boy prisoner with him?
42150Has m''sieu feefty dollair, cash?
42150Have you ever heard of Kabul Pass?
42150He is a friend of yours, is he?
42150He started for St. Louis two weeks ago?
42150He''s a hard fighter, is he?
42150How are we going to get them if they never stick their heads up?
42150How can I go back?
42150How did it happen?
42150How do I know this is true?
42150How do you kids like it? 42150 How do you know?"
42150How do you mean?
42150How far are the Indians ahead?
42150How long have you been tied that way?
42150How many men are in your brigade?
42150How much water must there be for us to get through?
42150I beg your pardon,he interrupted, leaning across the table,"but will you kindly tell me if General Sterling Price''s army is invading Missouri?"
42150I suppose the house is completely wrecked?
42150I wonder if a shell did it, or if it''s Colonel Harding''s orders?
42150Indeed?
42150Is General Price''s army here?
42150Is Lieutenant Sheehan along?
42150Is he here?
42150Is he in your camps now?
42150Is my brother here now?
42150Is that an order?
42150Is that so?
42150It looks something like that around here, does n''t it?
42150Just one man?
42150Lieutenant C----, eh?
42150M''sieu has ze cash money here, dans sa poche, for geeve me now?
42150Many?
42150May I have permission to accompany Major Camp, General?
42150Maybe better go back now, eh?
42150Nice day, ai n''t it?
42150No, Tommy,interrupted his brother, patting the small boy''s shoulder,"but they could burn the house, and then where should we be?"
42150No?
42150Now, what can I do for you?
42150Oh, are you badly hurt?
42150Oh, did you, Al?
42150Oh, is that it?
42150Oh, is that so?
42150Rea and you?
42150Say, Wallace, where''s Captain Miner?
42150She had nearly all the corn, did n''t she?
42150Six months?
42150So long? 42150 So you''re a rebel deserter, are you?"
42150So?
42150Surrendered?
42150Te- o- kun- ko, where is Tommy,--Tommy Briscoe?
42150Te- o- kun- ko?
42150That''s bad, is n''t it? 42150 The Indian who has your brother?"
42150Then what do you think I had better do, General Sully?
42150They seem to be afraid to go out of there, do n''t they?
42150Three Indians, you say? 42150 Un white boy by ze name Tomas Breescoe?"
42150Was n''t that awful?
42150Well, Lieutenant, how long have you been in the volunteer service?
42150Well, old boy,said he, putting his arm around his horse''s neck,"I wonder what''s in store for us to- day?"
42150Well, say, what do you think of that?
42150Well, where is he now?
42150Well, why not go with me?
42150Well?
42150Were any white people killed at the Agency?
42150Were you willing to see six other men murdered just to get even with me?
42150What are you doing here? 42150 What are you going to do?"
42150What are you so alarmed about?
42150What can it mean?
42150What do you know about these prisoners?
42150What do you think of it?
42150What do you want?
42150What has happened, Thomas?
42150What is your name?
42150What on earth is all that whistling for?
42150What shall I do now?
42150What will they do now?
42150What''s that?
42150What''s the matter, mother?
42150What''s the matter?
42150What''s yer hurry? 42150 What''s your name?"
42150What, Tommy?
42150What?
42150What?
42150What?
42150What?
42150When did you see Te- o- kun- ko last,--that is, previous to his coming into the big camp?
42150Where did he come from?
42150Where have you come from that you did n''t know that?
42150Where have you come from?
42150Where is Lamont with the_ Island City_?
42150Where is your father?
42150Where shall we hide?
42150Where was he killed?
42150Who are those Indians, Wallace?
42150Who are you?
42150Who told you that?
42150Who?
42150Why are you so set against him?
42150Why do n''t you?
42150Why do you think that?
42150Why does n''t General Curtis get you concentrated down here by the border somewhere? 42150 Why not?"
42150Why should I live any longer with them gone?
42150Why should we run away from a lot of bad Indians? 42150 Why, are you here?"
42150Why, my boy,said he,"how can I help it?
42150Why?
42150Will you not come in with us, Te- o- kun- ko?
42150Wonder what the rebs are doin''?
42150Would you go across the line?
42150Would you not feel the same for your brother?
42150You are going to spare our lives?
42150You crazy jack- rabbit,he cried,"what are you trying to do?
42150You do n''t know much about matters around here, then?
42150You know that he has had such a prisoner, do n''t you?
42150You remember Sergeant Jones, who commanded the artillery at Fort Ridgely?
42150You say he''s coming up the Missouri?
42150You say you ca n''t show him?
42150You understand?
42150You will try to keep it from burning, wo n''t you, Al?
42150You''re going out from motives of pure patriotism alone, I suppose?
42150You''re not going because there''s gold out there and you want to make your fortunes?
42150Al followed the soldiers and cried in the Corporal''s ear,"Charlie, where is Captain Miner?"
42150Am I not right?"
42150And they rode north?"
42150And your husband-- Doctor Falkner?"
42150And, most perplexing of all, where was Tommy now?
42150Are those last goods that were brought on board checked up yet?
42150Are you hungry?"
42150As Wallace Smith exclaimed to Al, riding along beside him,"By George, Al, is n''t this a sight worth seeing and worth remembering, too?
42150As soon as the first warm greeting was over, Al asked fearfully,"Mother, have you seen or heard anything of Tommy?"
42150But can we start for the fort now?"
42150But should he trust his mother and Annie to these Indians when they had just suffered so terribly at the hands of others of the same race?
42150But we have been paying for them ever since; we are paying now, and is not the price even yet great enough?
42150But what about General Price?"
42150But you remember Major Brown?
42150Can we get guns?
42150Can you not see that it is hopeless; that the red men can never prevail against the power and the numbers of the whites?"
42150Can you tell me, my boy,"he turned to Al,"anything of the appearance of the Indian who carried away your brother which might help to identify him?"
42150Could they make their way to the fort alone if he should deny their presence now and go with the Indians himself, either to safety or death?
42150Did you whip the Indians?"
42150Do you hold your life of no value that you demand your brother now, when you are in my power?"
42150Do you know where to cut off the best pieces for eating?"
42150Do you think you could agree to do that?"
42150Do you want to go with me?"
42150God, lad, are you hurt?"
42150Have n''t you seen him?"
42150Have you gone plumb out of your head?
42150Have you heard about Captain Marsh?"
42150Have you never seen those things done?
42150He heard the rustle of her dress as she came toward him, saying,"Al Briscoe?
42150He is there now?"
42150He was silent a moment, then asked abruptly,"Do you know anything about tactics,--military routine,--discipline?"
42150How and when did you get here?"
42150How did it happen?"
42150How in the name of sense do they expect to keep up with cavalry?"
42150How long have you been waiting for us?"
42150How much corn have you aboard, Captain?"
42150If you''re so much attached to them, why did n''t you stay down there and take some more Yankee boats?"
42150In trouble?"
42150Is it on fire?"
42150Is n''t the fire slacking up?"
42150Is that correct?"
42150Louis?"
42150More white people there?"
42150Mother, are the trunks ready to put in the wagon?"
42150Mother, where is Annie?"
42150No?
42150Now where''s the boy?"
42150Of whose regiment?"
42150Shall he go for Al?"
42150Then he continued, addressing Wallace,"Where have you boys come from?"
42150Then he inquired,"How long has Te- o- kun- ko been in the camp?"
42150Then he inquired,"When yeh goin''to shoot these Yanks, Captain?"
42150Then suddenly he asked,"Where''s Tommy?"
42150Then to Al he said, curiously,"Why do you ask?"
42150Wallace clutched Al''s arm, exclaiming, hoarsely,"My God, what will the skirmishers do?"
42150Was some real news coming at last?
42150Well, you better go down and check them, had n''t you?"
42150What are those specks?"
42150What are you loafing around here for, anyhow?"
42150What is there between here and his front to stop his twenty- five or thirty thousand men?
42150What of your own parents, Al?"
42150What time of day is it?"
42150What will become of the hay?"
42150What would your mother and sister do if you were killed?"
42150When did you get here?"
42150Where is Al?"
42150Why did n''t they bring along enough to last them?"
42150Why did n''t you bring enough yourselves to last you?"
42150Why do n''t you go back to the General?"
42150Why fight any longer?
42150Why had that strange, bewildered expression come over the Indian''s face when Al called him by name?
42150Why had the Yanktonais failed to shoot him when he lay there between the rocks, utterly helpless?
42150Why not?"
42150Will you hide me for a little while until I can escape from the city?"
42150Would they never cease to extend?
42150Would you like to have such a position for a while?"
42150Would you mind asking him whether he knows anything about my brother or about the Indian who holds him?"
42150You ai n''t doin''no fancy boxin''to- day, Al Briscoe, are yeh?"
42150You pay me back, oui?"
42150exclaimed Al, in great excitement, stepping close to Te- o- kun- ko as the scout interpreted his last sentences,"You took him to Fort La Framboise?
42150he asked,"and make your peace with the Great Father?
42150he cried,"what on earth are you doing here?
42150he inquired, lifting his eyebrows slightly,"What is it?"
42150he said, a disapproving note in his voice,"I wonder how we are to catch them if we do n''t keep going?"
42150suppose he should lead us into a trap?"
31188And Holmes has no doubt it was so accomplished?
31188And did she talk of her affair-- of Mr. Courtlandt-- the younger one I mean?
31188And he did not report it to me?
31188And how is Miss Forrest this afternoon?
31188And she swooned or fainted?
31188And she was not out of her mind?
31188And there have been more than this one at our house?
31188And they do not like her?
31188And they have no children?
31188And those little things point to an inmate of the garrison, do they not?
31188And why not me? 31188 And you saw no one?
31188But what happened then to convince you? 31188 But you admit you have a theory of your own?"
31188Ca n''t I go and see the start? 31188 Can I see the lieutenant?"
31188Can not Mrs. Forrest go?
31188Can you give him a letter and say nothing about it to anybody?
31188Did you get to know her at all well?
31188Did you see the soldier who rode past here just now?
31188Do n''t you see you''ve started the whole pack of them to yowling? 31188 Do you mean you have only just come?"
31188Dr. Bayard in?
31188Found it?
31188Has he been delirious?
31188Has heard me talk about her,--Miss Forrest? 31188 Has there been no fight at all?"
31188Hat, you and I have been good friends, have n''t we?
31188Have you ever seen-- have you ever known of her ever being in here-- or around here since?
31188Have you lost nothing?
31188He did not then, though he meant to, because Mr. McLean induced him to promise not to, because----"Well, because what? 31188 How came you to tell those women anything?"
31188How could I have been so mad as to bring her to such a pandemonium as this?
31188How could he have heard that?
31188How did you hear about McLean''s wanting to join the pursuit?
31188How do you know a woman''s the reason?
31188How do you know he lost it?
31188How far above us, corporal?
31188How in debt? 31188 How is Lieutenant Blunt this morning?"
31188I did mean to-- but-- don''t you expect Dr. and Mrs. Graham early next week? 31188 I suppose I may be taken into official confidences to- night; may I not, major?"
31188In God''s name, Bayard, what are you talking about?
31188In the dining- room, is she?
31188Is McLean asleep?
31188Is Miss Bayard ill?
31188Is it so hopeless as this? 31188 Is n''t that pretty rough on the youngster?"
31188Is the man close- mouthed? 31188 Is there anything the lieutenant wants, sir, before I go?"
31188Is there nothing I can do or say, sir, if he wakes?
31188May I ask where you studied music?
31188Missed anything to- night?
31188My Nellie? 31188 Not a soul,--stop a minute though,--there was something----""Pray, what are you talking about, Major Miller, and to whom are you talking?"
31188Now, if you would like to sit down, why not go around to the other side and away from this crowd? 31188 Quite a surprise, was n''t it?"
31188Seems to me you have confidential relations all around, Eliza; what more has been imparted to you as a secret?
31188So this is McLean''s vine and fig- tree, is it?
31188Some one of the men, do you think? 31188 Speaking of young McLean, who is he?
31188Tendencies what way, doctor? 31188 The doctor is calling us to the dining- room, Miss Forrest; may I offer my arm?"
31188Then why do you hesitate?
31188Then you think it had been tampered with,--that some garrison sneak- thief had got in?
31188There is a matter behind all this which I ought to know, is there not?
31188Want another cigar? 31188 Was it shut?"
31188Well, why not? 31188 Were they valuable?
31188Were you out with Mr. Blunt''s command?
31188Wh-- what have you done with my children?
31188What are you doing here, my man?
31188What could have kept you so long?
31188What did I say? 31188 What do you think?"
31188What is it that''we all know?''
31188What is it, Mayhew?
31188What is it, Miss Forrest?
31188What is it, dear?
31188What is it, old man?
31188What possible effect-- ill effect, that is-- could my remark have had even if repeated?
31188What was the use, with the Niobrara only a few hours''march away?
31188What''s the matter, you rascal, and why do you not answer the bell?
31188What''s the matter?
31188What''s up, Hatton?
31188When-- how were they taken? 31188 Where had he served before joining you?"
31188Where on earth have you been?
31188Where''d you find it?
31188Which door, Mrs. Miller? 31188 Who all were there?"
31188Who else knows of this?
31188Who was it or what was it?
31188Who was it?
31188Who were the others?
31188Who''s up there?
31188Why did n''t we think of it last night, and come down the other side? 31188 Why do you always run down this country, doctor?
31188Why unhappy?
31188Why, Major Miller, I supposed of course you understood-- I-- I, of course, accuse nobody, but of whom could he have been talking about but himself? 31188 Why, how was this, doctor?"
31188Why, what''s the matter, old man? 31188 Why-- why did n''t you ring?"
31188Why-- why not Mr. McLean, papa?
31188Why?
31188Will you kindly look after Mrs. Forrest a moment in case she should need anything? 31188 Yes-- something, undoubtedly; but what was it like?
31188You do n''t mean that your theory involves him? 31188 You have been abroad, then?"
31188You say that Parsons is the best man to send, sergeant?
31188You waited for your''double bars,''major?
31188You were looking for a very different object, were you not?
31188You will excuse me, Mr. Holmes? 31188 After all his wife had told him, whom could Bayard mean but the Queen of Bedlam? 31188 Are there any tangible reasons why they should give her the cold shoulder?
31188Are there-- have there been any new developments?"
31188Are you going in,--at once?"
31188Are you ready for a long ride to- night?"
31188Are you sure you dropped it?"
31188Blushing?
31188But did he see McLean before he left?"
31188But how about the future?
31188But is n''t it dreadful?"
31188But who would have thought of Miss Forrest?"
31188But, Mr. Hatton, how did it happen that Miss Forrest only came in late?"
31188By the way, where was Mr.--a-- her uncle''s residence?
31188Ca n''t a fellow have a little fun at McLean''s expense without being accused of scattering scandal?"
31188Can I have a pipe?"
31188Can nothing be done?"
31188Can you catch?"
31188Can you come now?"
31188Can you come out with me?
31188Come, Nell?"
31188Courtlandt''s?"
31188Did Weeks tell you when this delirium began?"
31188Did he hear quick, light footsteps hurrying away?
31188Did he not recall that sudden gust of cold air that swept from the hall in the midst of the doctor''s story?
31188Did it----?"
31188Did you ever hear anything like the row they raised?
31188Did you get it for him?
31188Did you know he had gone away again?"
31188Did-- did you ever speak with her about-- the Courtlandts?"
31188Do n''t you know poor Mr. Blunt is lying in the next hall, badly wounded and very sick?"
31188Do n''t you want to come with the girls?
31188Do you know his name?"
31188Do you know how it got there?"
31188Do you know that for a few days of idiocy I was made to believe that you suspected him of the thefts?
31188Do you know where he is, Miss Nellie?"
31188Do you promise?
31188Do you think Mr. Hatton liked her?"
31188Do you think he could have heard much of anything before he was sent away?"
31188Does n''t he want to go?
31188Eh?"
31188First, was it possible that Mr. Courtlandt proposed leaving her a lump of his large fortune?
31188Had McLean not read of maidens who worshipped men of more than twice their years even to the extent of--"A love that was her doom?"
31188Had he been too precipitate in his wooing?
31188Had he come too late to win that sweet, youthful, guileless heart, or had he come only just in time to see it given to another?
31188Had he not read aloud to her only a fortnight before the story of Launcelot and the lily maid of Astolat?
31188Had he, in the light of what he had seen and heard, any right to speak of matters that had gravely distressed him?
31188Has Miss Forrest been over to see you since you came down- stairs?"
31188Has any one been in here?"
31188Hatton?"
31188Hatton?"
31188Hatton?"
31188Have you come for Dr. Bayard?
31188Have you heard how he is this morning?"
31188Have you never sought to win Miss Bayard, for instance?"
31188Have you seen Mr. Hatton to- day?"
31188Have you seen a ghost?"
31188He could make it quicker than anybody else, but----""But what?
31188He is near kin, I think, to the Van Cortlandts, of Croton, is he not?"
31188Holmes?"
31188Holmes?"
31188Holmes?"
31188How am I to make amends to Mr. McLean?
31188How could she, without exciting more suspicion?
31188How in heaven am I to keep my story to myself?"
31188How was it all managed, major?
31188How was it that the door to Hatton''s hall was closed and locked, when Hatton told him it was always open?
31188I do n''t mean as he likes Janet Bruce; what I meant was-- well, you or he or both of you-- did you feel that you-- well-- trusted her?"
31188I would do anything in my power for Captain Forrest''s sister, and for him; but if-- if this thing is known, what can my silence avail?"
31188If it is all the same to you, would you mind my seeing him at your quarters?
31188Is Nellie here?"
31188Is he afraid?"
31188Is it possible that my little daughter''s heart has been stolen away-- right under my eyes-- and I never saw it?"
31188Is n''t he a magnificent old cock?
31188Is n''t it dreadful about Mr. Hatton?
31188Is not that a reasonable theory?"
31188It may be several days before he''ll be well enough to-- to talk, wo n''t it?"
31188Look at his story, and tell me could anything be more pitiful and mendacious?
31188Major, you and I want a glass of Madeira and Mrs. Miller to bless the occasion, and then we all want some music, do n''t we?
31188May I go with him, sir?"
31188May I have that pleasure?"
31188Mayhew?"
31188Mayhew?"
31188Miller?"
31188Miller?"
31188Mrs. Taylor, now wo n''t you sing?"
31188Now what can one say to a girl like that?"
31188Now what did this portend?
31188Now, do you think it prudent for her to go out in the night air?"
31188Now, if he had only arrived in time to be one of the guests this bright evening, who can say what the effect might not have been?
31188Now, what could this strange girl be doing with letters from"Dr. Chesterfield"?
31188Of course Nellie liked-- but did she love him?
31188One thing more,--she has sent two registered letters from here within the last three days----""Now, how do you know that?"
31188One word, where is Celestine now?"
31188Second, was it possible that she had already given her heart to another?
31188Shall I run up and see?"
31188Shall we go up and see Mrs. Forrest now, doctor?
31188She feared that her father had really fallen deeply in love again, and if so who could resist him?
31188That you?"
31188Then where will be your evidence against this most foully wronged lady?"
31188There are two spare rooms, and even if we had to take in more, you two might share your room awhile, might you not?"
31188There has been nothing said, has there?
31188There is plenty of it on ice at the trader''s, and,--you do the entertaining for me, will you?"
31188There was no one here as you came in the gate?"
31188There''s no objection, is there, to my going down to the barracks and interviewing those ranchmen?
31188To- night?"
31188Was McLean the man"nearer her own years"who had already found a lodgement in her heart?
31188Was it his bounden duty to disclose certain suspicions, display certain proofs?
31188Was that the night that you became convinced that she was the thief?"
31188Was that the night you mean, Mr. McLean?
31188Was this the woman who, through his testimony, stood accused of degrading crimes?
31188Was this, then, the engagement which prevented her acceptance of the doctor''s offer?
31188Weeks I will give him his instructions, and, meantime, will you make such preparations as may be necessary?"
31188Weeks go, do n''t you think so?"
31188Weeks refuses to let Mrs. Miller go in and see McLean?
31188Were not his reasons cogent?"
31188What am I to say to him?
31188What could have happened to so radically change Mrs. Miller''s estimate of and regard for the"Queen of Bedlam?"
31188What could have put such ideas into his head?
31188What could he mean by intimating that McLean was the guilty party in these recent mysterious larcenies?
31188What could he say?
31188What course would he ask or expect of a comrade if it were his, Hatton''s, sister, who was here alone and defenceless?
31188What did it amount to, after all?
31188What good result can follow?
31188What had happened that Fanny Forrest should be writing now to Roswell Holmes?
31188What have I done?"
31188What have I revealed, Mrs. Miller?
31188What have I to offer but misfortune and trouble?
31188What have you been doing?"
31188What have you lost?
31188What if now he should be able to surprise the prowler?
31188What if this should, indeed, prove to be some one bent on larceny or worse?
31188What is there to do but read and think?"
31188What manner of woman was this now quivering with excitement at his side, her glowing eyes fastened on the rapidly advancing form of Roswell Holmes?
31188What mattered it that he was probably more than double her age?
31188What meant she by speaking of the man he most feared as his most steadfast friend?
31188What opportunities has a girl of her-- pardon my egotism-- parentage in such a mill as this?"
31188What opportunity had I?
31188What reason could young McLean assign that could justify his concealing such a matter from the commanding officer?"
31188What the devil does that man mean by telling his news before he sees the commanding officer, anyhow?"
31188What time can I best see the corporal?"
31188What was the matter?
31188What was the matter?
31188What will the man think of me?
31188What''s been taken?"
31188What''s she been doing?--making eyes at young McLean?"
31188What''s up?"
31188What?
31188What?"
31188When could we get back?"
31188When did you become convinced?"
31188When did you get back?"
31188Where is the card?
31188Where is the handkerchief now?
31188Where was that pocket- book and how much money was there in it?"
31188Where will you have him call,--at the doctor''s?"
31188Who found her handkerchief in his bureau?
31188Who heard her beg that you should be delayed in your investigation?
31188Who is that he is talking with now?"
31188Who is there here, except possibly Miss Forrest, who, by birth, education, and social position, is fit to be an intimate or friend?
31188Who put the handkerchief in the drawer?
31188Who saw the burning?
31188Who told him of her confession?
31188Why did you not tell us?"
31188Why do you add to the mischief?"
31188Why do you ask?"
31188Why do you ask?"
31188Why do you want him?"
31188Why was it that the light in that lower hall was extinguished, and by whom was it done?
31188Why, what has happened?
31188Why, what on earth''s the matter with my little woman?"
31188Will you come with me to the office?"
31188Will you go or send your assistant?
31188Will you kindly say to her that I called to inquire after her, and am rejoiced to think we will soon be able to welcome her out again?
31188Will you kindly touch that bell, Holmes, and send Chloe to me?
31188Will you promise?"
31188Wo n''t you come in?"
31188Would the stubborn lock not yield?
31188Would you counsel your sister to marry such a man?"
31188Would you mind having that door shut?"
31188You asked where I studied music?
31188You been here?"
31188You do n''t mean it-- it is of himself, of his connection with these thefts, that he has been telling in his delirium?"
31188You feel no draft now, do you, major?"
31188You have heard from my brother, too?"
31188You have no duty or engagement, have you?"
31188You know about it?"
31188You probably did not know that I was well acquainted with Mr. Courtlandt, did you?"
31188You remember the night we burned that handkerchief?"
31188been over paying a visit to a sweetheart in some kitchen of the opposite quarters?"
31188he muttered, impulsively,"is the nurse there?
31188how dare you?"
31188or was this a''prentice hand, and his tools unsuited to the job?
31188please see what has happened?"
31188some servant?"
31188were you?"
31188where were you going in such-- why, major-- what is the matter?"
31188who can that be?"
36599Ah, why did I not die with him when it was still in my power to do so? 36599 Air you agoin''to open?"
36599And Chickie, here, called you something else just now-- what the deuce was it?
36599And are you so keen on this gold, Vipan? 36599 And do you never contemplate a return to civilisation-- to your friends?"
36599And that?
36599And then if nobody came to get us out of our fix next week?
36599And to what end?
36599And what became of Major Barentyne?
36599And what might your name be-- if it''s a fair question?
36599And yourself?
36599And-- and have you never explained a word of it since?
36599Any news of Yseulte?
36599Anyone feel like trying an entrance? 36599 Are you really made of cast- iron, Mr Vipan?"
36599Been to call on Dudley yet, Ralph?
36599Boss of this outfit, I take it?
36599Burntwood Creek?
36599But I can yet make some amends?
36599But did n''t Mr Vallance do anything for him?
36599But for your promptitude where should I be now?
36599But what if it will be for long?
36599But what is a` dug- out''?
36599But,he objected,"if I get clear will they not visit it upon you?"
36599But,she urged, lowering her voice, and speaking quickly,"but what if I can help you to escape?"
36599But-- but, my good fellow, surely you are aware you have n''t a leg to stand on?
36599But-- don''t you feel it kinder dull like? 36599 By the way, Mr-- er?"
36599Can I have a word with you, Santorex?
36599Can we not wait here?
36599D''you say so, Colonel?
36599Dead?
36599Did I? 36599 Did he chevy you far, Geoffry?"
36599Did not Golden Face declare that he owned no nationality?
36599Did you_ know_ what was going to happen?
36599Do I? 36599 Do n''t they want to make terms?"
36599Do the Ogallalla[ a sub- division or clan of the Sioux nation] send out war- parties in winter time?
36599Do we meet in peace, or do we meet in war?
36599Do you know, sir, that you are using actionable words?
36599Do you think, Miss Santorex, that a man out here` on a trip''would be up to every move of a Sioux war- party? 36599 Does one friend kill another?"
36599Doing what?
36599Eh? 36599 Er-- you have saved my life, Mr-- er--?"
36599Got the` dust''about yer, strangers, or did yer_ cache_ it?
36599H''m, why so, Miss Santorex?
36599Had enough of it, Chickie? 36599 Had old Muggins''bull after you?"
36599Have I no chance, Yseulte?
36599Have they come back from hunting?
36599Have you so soon forgotten the result of trying to cross the plains alone? 36599 Have you taken leave of your senses?"
36599How did it happen?
36599How did you manage to let them capture you?
36599How do you manage it? 36599 How do, Bill?
36599How do, Colonel? 36599 How do, Santorex?"
36599How do, sheriff?
36599How does he know I do n''t want you at home this morning? 36599 How in thunder did you get into this hobble?"
36599How on earth will he know?
36599How will it end?
36599I say, w- were you ever at the''Varsity?
36599I told you my time would surely come, did n''t I? 36599 Indians?
36599Is War Wolf my horse or my dog that it is my business to take care of him?
36599Is he coming out here, then?
36599Is he not surrounded by his friends, his brothers? 36599 Is it?"
36599Is that what they used to call me? 36599 Lord, Colonel,"replied the scout,"you do n''t want us to foot the Henniker trail again?"
36599May I hope that remark will apply to me, Mrs Winthrop?
36599Might I-- might I just look over those letters?
36599Not heard anything of him? 36599 Not heard anything of him?"
36599Now, what the deuce can he be doing here, alone, and away from his outfit? 36599 Of taking leave?
36599Oh, can nothing be done to save him?
36599Oh, that''s how the land lies, is it?
36599Oh, what are they? 36599 Oh, you will?"
36599On my account?
36599Police work, eh?
36599Postman says was he right in leaving this, sir?
36599Relative of yours?
36599Say, pardners, whar did yer leave yer squaws? 36599 See here, Rube,"suggested the other,"why not tumble to my plan?
36599See here, boys, am I sheriff of Henniker City, or am I not?
36599Self- denial, eh? 36599 So that''s how Nat Hardroper custodies his State prisoners, eh?"
36599Surely you are not simple enough to imagine that the daughter of that hybrid Spanish atheist would neglect such an opportunity? 36599 Tame, indeed?
36599That so?
36599That''s worse than the last infliction of Muggins you underwent, is n''t it, Mr Vallance?
36599The next thing, eh?
36599Think that''s the type you could fall in love with, eh, Chickie? 36599 Think you''d care to undertake it?
36599Think you''d have known the child here?
36599Vipan? 36599 Was it a fair draw?"
36599Was it for her he lifted his rifle against his Dahcotah brethren?
36599Well, Chickie? 36599 Well, now, Yseulte, what do you think of our Indians, now you have seen them-- real ones-- at last?"
36599Well, what d''you say? 36599 Were they all King George men?"
36599Were you ever besieged in one of these places?
36599What can you hear?
36599What chance is there of rescuing your friend?
36599What do they say?
36599What has become of him now?
36599What interest had I in a few ranchmen and bullwhackers more or less? 36599 What tribe are they, Mr Vipan?"
36599What was said just now about Sitting Bull?
36599What were my words to the great Council at Dog Creek?
36599What''s it all about, Three Elks?
36599What? 36599 When can we return to the camp?"
36599Which''Varsity?
36599Who air you, stranger?
36599Who am I that stand to address you to- night?
36599Who am I? 36599 Who are they after nobbling?"
36599Who gave you any sort of encouragement to follow me to what you are pleased to call` the end of another world''? 36599 Who is he, James?"
36599Who is it they want?
36599Who is it? 36599 Who is it?"
36599Who knows? 36599 Who that had seen her could ever forget the beautiful Miss D''Arcy-- the Belle of the Island?"
36599Who witnessed the scalp- dance in our village at Dog Creek, when War Wolf showed his scalps? 36599 Who would not fight for a beautiful woman, be she white or red?"
36599Why did n''t you bring him over with you, Rupert?
36599Why did we ever let him go?
36599Why did we ever let him go?
36599Why did you bring me away from them all this morning?
36599Why did you not defend yourself? 36599 Why do you always avoid me now?"
36599Why except ourselves?
36599Why should I tell lies?
36599Why? 36599 Why?"
36599Will they attack us to- night?
36599Will they attack us, Mr Vipan?
36599Will they come again?
36599Would it? 36599 You dislike her to that extent?"
36599You do n''t? 36599 You do n''t?"
36599You do n''t?
36599You do not despise me in your heart?
36599You do? 36599 You knew him then, father?"
36599You think that would be fun, eh?
36599You, James? 36599 You, James?"
36599_ He_? 36599 ` Haunting memories,''eh?"
36599A daring and unscrupulous plan?
36599Ah, why?"
36599All?
36599Am I not a warrior?
36599Am I to pay that visit to George''s ranche this summer or not?"
36599Am I to show my appreciation by keeping him at arm''s length to please Geoffry Vallance?"
36599And mind me, if it had n''t been for him, where d''you think you''d be to- day?
36599And now, have all your visitors left?"
36599And now, how had the Great Father kept his promises?
36599And then, were the Indians themselves strictly observing their side of the treaty?
36599And what insane fatuity should bring her here alone in the fast falling twilight?
36599And what of the captive?
36599And where are we to- day?
36599And who shall blame him?
36599And why?"
36599Any news?"
36599Are we men, or have we become squaws since we began to receive doles of Government beef?"
36599Are we not dependent on the Agencies for our daily food and clothing, instead of upon our own arrows and lances as of yore?
36599Are we not living like beggars?
36599As she sat contemplating it, a voice arose from the lawn beneath, saying in the most approved Oxford drawl:"Ah, how do you do, Mrs Santorex?
36599Been having it out with Geoffry Plantagenet?"
36599Besides, it was evident that he wished to treat them fairly this time, for had he not sent troops to drive away the intruding gold- seekers?
36599Besides, we are nearly at the end of these` haunting memories of bygone days,''are n''t we?
36599Brought me some more citizens, hey?
36599But are n''t they rather cowardly?"
36599But now?
36599But who on earth was her companion?
36599But you?
36599But, you will say: If the whites have the dollars, and value not the lives of other people, what chance have we, for they are rich, and can pay?
36599But-- how did you know?"
36599By what right do you presume to call me to account?
36599Can the gathering dusk be playing her tricks?
36599Come to life again, has he?
36599Come, had n''t we?"
36599Consolation?
36599Could he be getting clear of the mountains already?
36599Could he have heard?
36599Could he never appear before her but in a ridiculous light-- the central figure of some absurd situation?
36599Could he not seize the opportunity to make a dash for it?
36599Could it have been myself?
36599Dead bodies?
36599Did War Wolf and his followers come to me as to a friend?
36599Did n''t he set the red devils on to sculp my pardners?
36599Did n''t he wipe out my brother?
36599Did you ever set your heart on a single thing, that when you got it you wondered how the snakes you could ever have been so hot on gettin''it?
36599Do you know that from hour to hour I live in unceasing apprehension of treachery?
36599Do you remember my words to you as I left this room?"
36599Do you remember our last interview, here, in this very room?
36599Eh, boys?"
36599Eh?"
36599Even should the fugitives reach it, what then?
36599Going after Sittin''Bull soon?"
36599Guide?
36599Had Mr Vallance heard bad news about his son?
36599Had he not come peaceably with the rest to obtain his rations, and had obtained them-- a clear proof that the Government was not angry with him?
36599Had n''t we better git?"
36599Had they not lived in amity in their midst all the winter?
36599Have I not followed you to the end of another world?
36599Have n''t you been shooting''em down like jack- rabbits around here, and wo n''t they now be bustin''with murderation to take your hair?
36599Have you any idea of the whereabouts of Ralph Vallance?"
36599Have you?"
36599Have_ you_ heard anything about him?"
36599He had been living on the reservation with them all, as everybody knew; why then should the Great Father send soldiers to take him?
36599Heard anything of Geoffry lately?"
36599How are you, Yseulte?
36599How could they sell them?
36599How did you manage to get clear?"
36599How do, colonel?"
36599How many would be left now had we traded away our rights?
36599How many years ago was it?
36599How?"
36599I believe you and he were-- er-- on friendly terms at one time?"
36599I do n''t think we ought to go out of our way to cultivate a bad opinion of a man who has saved both our lives, do you?"
36599I wonder what unlucky devil lost in the storm this buck could have overhauled and struck down?"
36599I wonder, by the way, what became of that same weapon?
36599If he attempted to do so it would be at deadly risk to himself, and even then would he meet with success?
36599In where?
36599Is it really you, or am I dead or dreaming?"
36599Is it your experience that the richest man is the man who cares least for his possessions?
36599Is it?
36599Is?
36599It was poor comfort, and again he found himself repeating:"Why did we ever allow him to go?"
36599Kindly overtake them, will you?
36599May I ask where, when, and how you served your apprenticeship as an Indian fighter?"
36599Never saw` Mr Lo''[ Note 1] on the war- path before, I take it?"
36599Not-- not about Geoffry?"
36599Now, do you think it in the least likely that I should agree to any such arrangement?
36599Now, how did the Indians first come to attack you?
36599On foot and unbound he might have distanced the savages, but what chance had he against their ponies?
36599Or did Uncle Sam confiscate''em as national property?
36599Phantom steed and phantom rider?
36599Rather a contemptible object, am I not?"
36599Rather a sin to keep you boxed up here this lovely morning, is n''t it?"
36599Reckon that wager''s on, all there; hey, Smokestack Bill?"
36599Remember your scheme to lynch me, eh, Bitter Rube?"
36599Remember?"
36599Say, now, could n''t you get the party or parties out here, and have a fair and square stand up?
36599Say, stranger"--he broke off, turning to Geoffry--"are you the` tenderfoot''them reds was after?"
36599See that butte away up there?
36599Seven years have gone by, and how is that agreement kept?
36599She had been taken to wife according to Dahcotah custom; and whose lodge was more comfortable than hers; who was cared for better than she?
36599Should I be likely to sell his scalp, even if I sold those of_ your_ friends?"
36599Should he not rather be called Double Face?"
36599Should he try his fate?
36599Sitting Bull is a great chief, a warrior of renown, but who is War Wolf?
36599So he blundered over the service, did he?
36599So that''s your opinion, is it, young woman?"
36599Suppose you abdicate now and let me have a turn?"
36599Surely it has n''t gone so far as that?"
36599Surely my relations need not stand in the way?"
36599Surely this is not the disturbing factor?
36599Surely you are not going to leave us yet, Mr Vipan?
36599That your pard, Bill?
36599The land is white with their skeletons, but will skeletons feed the Dahcotah and supply skins for their winter lodges?
36599The other''s philosophy was to end in this, then?
36599The plot thickens, eh?"
36599The whites built their accursed roads and the steam- horse came puffing over the plains, and where are the buffalo to- day?
36599Their what?
36599Then a score of horsemen darted into the light, and a ringing voice was heard inquiring--"Say, boys, what in thunder''s all this muss?"
36599Then glancing at the pile of newly- opened letters--"Is it bad news?
36599Then he quietly said:--"Do the Ogallalla dance the Sun- Dance[ Note 1] in winter?"
36599Then we were great because free and feared-- for who in those days dared incur the enmity of the Dahcotah?
36599Then when they treated me as an enemy and an ordinary prisoner of war, did I complain?
36599Then:"Why not?"
36599They would be certain to detect your agency in the matter, and then what would be_ your_ fate?"
36599Want you?
36599Was he about to confide to her the history of his past?
36599Was her appearance after all these years destined to herald some other turning- point in his life?
36599Was it not the property of the Dahcotah nation, on whose ground it lay hidden?
36599Was n''t he with the Injun as scalped Rufus Charlie and Pesky Bob?"
36599Was she going to fall in love with an old and faded portrait?
36599Was the land absolutely bristling with enemies?
36599Well, Mr Vallance, I was going to say, what do you think of Indian fighting?
36599Well, have we not sufficiently emphasised the fact that Yseulte Santorex was a very beautiful girl?
36599Well, what then?
36599Were there any killed?"
36599Were there not enough whites abroad upon the plains for your war- party to strike without attacking my friends whom I accompany?
36599What about his pard-- eh?
36599What are they?
36599What are those?"
36599What could I do, at the mercy of a band of ruthless savages?
36599What could this mean?
36599What deed of dark treachery is this stealthy savage about to perpetrate?
36599What did he see?
36599What did it mean?
36599What did the powerful lens reveal to upset the equanimity, to shake the very nerves of this cool, hardened, cynical plainsman?
36599What do we care about Bitter Rube?
36599What do we gain, I say, by treating with these lying Mehneaska?
36599What had I to do with the brute''s unwashen` pardners''?
36599What had War Wolf done, he asked, that he should be seized like a common thief in the white men''s towns?
36599What had he to do with softness-- with love-- at his time of life?
36599What happened?
36599What have we ever gained?
36599What if he had brought this white girl with him, and she had met-- with harm at the hands of any of these?
36599What if he were to encounter a snake in this long- closed- up_ oubliette_, or foul air?
36599What is baser than the sin of ingratitude?
36599What is that stealthy rustle in the depths of yonder scrub?
36599What mutilated human remains might they not actually be walking over?
36599What object has attracted his keen vision-- has sufficed to retain it?
36599What on earth can he want to talk to me about?
36599What price would be equivalent to such a precious possession?
36599What shall I tell him if so be I find him?"
36599What the deuce was she doing here, careering about the country with this splendidly handsome desperado?
36599What was it?
36599What was the use?
36599What was this gold, and whose was it?
36599What was to be her destiny in life?
36599What''ll we do with him, boys?"
36599What''s in the wind, now?"
36599What''s the odds, though?
36599What''s yours?"
36599What-- who are they?"
36599When they sought to throw open our territory by cutting it with a broad road, did we treat?
36599When?"
36599Where are the forts built along it to keep it open?
36599Where is War Wolf?"
36599Where is that road to- day?
36599Where would you be now but for him, or where should I?
36599Where''ll you light out for?"
36599Where?
36599While the country''s swarming with live redskins hunting for my scalp, am I going to be scared by one dead one?
36599Who am I?
36599Who among all the red races had such good hearts as the Dahcotah?
36599Who among them would have remained at peace under such provocation as they had received and continued to receive?
36599Who delivered him into the hands of the soldiers?"
36599Who is he, I say?
36599Who is it?"
36599Who is the man who has just joined them?"
36599Who is to blame but War Wolf himself?"
36599Who requires to go armed among his friends?"
36599Who was he in her eyes, in the eyes of those around her, her friends and protectors?
36599Who was their slayer?
36599Who worthy of the name and dignity of a warrior ever forgot to requite a good turn once rendered, even at the peril of his life?
36599Who would have dealings with such dogs as these?
36599Who would strike the friends of his brother?
36599Who''s_ he_?"
36599Why did you come here to render me thoroughly ridiculous, to place me in a false position?
36599Why did you not explain the matter fully?"
36599Why do n''t they interfere with him?
36599Why do they bring beautiful white girls into a country where the ground is too rough for their tender feet?
36599Why does not the man hasten upon his way?
36599Why had he come there?--why the devil had he stayed?
36599Why had he induced her to come out like this to- day?
36599Why had the Dahcotah attacked them and run off their stock?
36599Why not go and talk to him there?"
36599Why should I tell lies?
36599Why should I?"
36599Why should he?
36599Why should his slumbers be disturbed?
36599Why the devil did they send out so few men?"
36599Why was he disinherited?"
36599Why was this?
36599Why, Geoffry, where on earth_ have_ you dropped from?"
36599Why, then, had he fought for the Mehneaska against his Dahcotah brethren?
36599Why, what have you got there?"
36599Why, what is the matter?"
36599Why-- what''s the matter, Miss Santorex?"
36599Why?
36599Wild horses?
36599Will he not come in, and rest and eat?"
36599Would he reach the water?
36599Would not her people require a heavy reckoning?
36599Would she ever recover his good opinion again?
36599Would there be another battle?
36599Yet why should I talk of this?
36599Yet why should she have felt so, seeing that this was by no means the first time she had undertaken an expedition_ a deux_ under her present escort?
36599Yet-- what was that but a phantom-- a phantom horseman-- advancing towards her at scarce thirty paces?
36599You are going away?
36599You feel better now?
36599You think they have no chance?"
36599You would have done nothing to warn them?
36599Your man in''em, Colonel?"
36599Yseulte, what have you done to offend Mr Vipan?
36599am I altered so dead out of all recognition?"
36599and whur''s that shuck- faced omadhaun?"
36599he began, with a quick glance around, as if fearful of interruption,"What have I done that you will hardly speak to me now?"
36599now for the race for life; but what were the odds in his favour?
36599what''s the next thing?"
36599will nothing warn the sleeper?
36599you do n''t say so?
17614A message? 17614 Ai n''t you-- eh-- goin''on down town?"
17614Am I to understand you are again in the service?
17614Am I, then, not old enough to know my own mind?
17614An''what did ye mane ter be doin''wid the young gyurl?
17614And her answer?
17614And my mother?
17614And now you want to try a turn at defaming a woman? 17614 And so you''re ashamed of me, are you?"
17614And the young lady?
17614And what is it you wish me to do?
17614And why not, Wyman? 17614 And you do not mean, even now, to make clear the mystery?"
17614And you never even hear from him?
17614And you? 17614 And yours also?"
17614Any life, sergeant?
17614Anything going on to- night worth while, Jim?
17614Are the horses out in herd?
17614Are you a church member?
17614Are you not coming also?
17614Are you sure? 17614 Ashamed to be seen walking with me?
17614At least eighteen, is she not? 17614 Bob Hampton attacked by a mob?
17614Brant of the Seventh?
17614Brant, do you love that girl?
17614Brant? 17614 Buck,"exclaimed Moffat,"how did that feller McNeil, and those other cow- punchers, get in here?
17614But do you feel no curiosity as to who I may be?
17614But how do you know?
17614But your elders? 17614 By Bob Hampton?"
17614By Murphy?
17614By confessing that I am your ideal?
17614By whom?
17614Can we?
17614Can you give me a fresh horse, a bite to eat, and a cup of coffee, down there?
17614Could you inform me where I might find Silent Murphy, a government scout?
17614D Troop? 17614 Dad?
17614Did Miss Gillis authorize you to thank me for these courtesies?
17614Did he-- old Gillis, I mean-- claim to be your father, or her husband?
17614Did it interest you?
17614Did n''t want me?
17614Did she tell you about it?
17614Did ye say, Murphy, as how it was n''t Nolan after all who plugged the Major?
17614Did you leave it at home?
17614Did you overhear him say anything definite about his plans for the trip?
17614Did you-- did you ever hear either of them say anything about Major Alfred Brant? 17614 Do n''t see nuthin''now, do ye?"
17614Do n''t you understand yet?
17614Do ye think-- I''m afeard o''yer-- shootin''? 17614 Do you believe those things you do not understand?"
17614Do you know Murphy?
17614Do you know her?
17614Do you know who I am?
17614Do you mean Billy McNeil, over on Sinsiniwa Creek?
17614Do you mean it? 17614 Do you mean to insinuate that that young woman is living in this community under an assumed one?
17614Do you mean to insinuate that there is an understanding, an engagement between you?
17614Do you mean you are in direct communication with headquarters, with Custer?
17614Do you suppose it can be he?
17614Do you think I look nice?
17614Do you yield to moods?
17614Do-- do you mistake me for an enlisted man?
17614Do-- do you really think it would be proper? 17614 Do-- do you really want me to stick it out here, Bob?"
17614Does he know why this can not be?
17614Does she make light of his faith?
17614En''whar-- do ye expect-- me ter say-- all this, pervidin'', of course-- I wus fule''nough-- ter do it?
17614For God''s sake, Weir, what are you fellows waiting here for?
17614For me? 17614 Friend of the family, perhaps?"
17614Go on? 17614 Goin''to get married, Bob?"
17614Good Lord, Naida, do you think I''m low down enough to go out hunting that poor cuss merely to get even with him for trying to stick me with a knife? 17614 Has Miss Gillis arrived?"
17614Has he roused up?
17614Has he shown himself here at the camp?
17614Has the man any signs of a wound, sergeant?
17614Have you any such in mind?
17614Have you heard anything lately, Bob, about the Seventh?
17614Have you truly been at the hall,she questioned,"or were you merely fibbing to awaken my interest?"
17614Have-- have you any water left?
17614Heard-- of me-- maybe?
17614Hev''ye got''em agin?
17614His name was Gillis, was n''t it?
17614How did they git yere?
17614How do you know?
17614How far away?
17614How far will he have to ride?
17614How is it as between man and woman?
17614How many horses did he have?
17614How old are you, Naida?
17614How''d ye git yere? 17614 How, then, did she even know of our meeting?"
17614How-- eh-- did you happen to-- eh-- recognize the church?
17614How? 17614 I am afraid you do not greatly admire this Miss Spencer?"
17614I have not even seen him for such a long time; but-- but, I guess, he is more to me than any one else--"Not seen him? 17614 I presume, then, she is not present?"
17614I think not, sir; who is he?
17614I think quite likely, uncle; would n''t he make a splendid addition to Mr. Wynkoop''s church?
17614I-- I do n''t believe he is an Episcopalian; do you?
17614I? 17614 I?
17614I? 17614 If I select your bullet rather than the rocks, what then?"
17614Indeed? 17614 Indeed?
17614Indeed? 17614 Indeed?"
17614Innocent? 17614 Is Custer here?"
17614Is Hampton dead?
17614Is he a- doin''this little job all by hisself?
17614Is that all you know?
17614Is that all?
17614Is that all?
17614Is that him?
17614Is that right?
17614Is that so?
17614Is that you, Hampton?
17614Is thet so?
17614Is-- is he dead?
17614Is-- is she dead?
17614It is extremely close in here, do n''t you think?
17614It is so good of you, Mr. Moffat, for I realize how you were counting upon this first dance, were n''t you? 17614 It was, How do I stand in your sight?
17614It''s that awful Murphy, is n''t it?
17614Kid,he exclaimed, harshly,"what does this mean?
17614Kid,he said at last,"are you game for a try at getting out of this?"
17614Kill whom?
17614Lieutenant Brant, what can you mean? 17614 Lieutenant Brant, you here?"
17614May I ask his name?
17614May I walk beside you until you meet him?
17614Me? 17614 Might I see her?"
17614Mighty pretty, was n''t she?
17614Mine?
17614Miss Spencer,he asked,"may I inquire if you possess such a phenomenon as a''star''pupil?"
17614Mr. Moffat? 17614 Mr. Wynkoop?
17614Mrs. Herndon, were you seeking your lost charge? 17614 My question was, Who is at the head of this outfit?
17614Naida Gillis? 17614 Naida,"he said, gravely,"I have come back, as I said I would, and surely I read welcome in your eyes?"
17614Never carry a knife, do ye?
17614No? 17614 Now-- now-- you, you gray- eyed-- devil, kin I-- sit up?"
17614Oh, did you hear what-- what he said?
17614Oh, did you? 17614 Oh, is n''t that simply beautiful?
17614Oh, my father? 17614 Oh, reformed has he?
17614Oh, that''s it? 17614 Oh, they do?
17614Oh, was that it? 17614 Oh, ye do, hey?
17614Oh, you have, have you, Mister Bob Hampton? 17614 Post- trader at Fort Bethune?"
17614Red Slavin?
17614Relative?
17614Reno, you mean? 17614 Rescue her from whut, Jack?
17614Robert Nolan? 17614 Run across many hostiles in that region?"
17614Save any-- eh-- locks of their hair?
17614Say it once more, sweetheart?
17614Say, gents,--eh-- that feller had his spiel all right-- eh-- ain''t he? 17614 Shall I paint in exceedingly plain words the picture given me of you?"
17614Shall it be at ten?
17614Since-- since N Troop left here?
17614Sioux?
17614So you have been eavesdropping, have you?
17614Sorter hurts yer perfessional feelins, do n''t it, old feller, to be dropped in on in this unceremonious way? 17614 Sure, and did n''t ye know him?"
17614Surely you could not desire to be left here alone? 17614 Tell me, at least, this-- is it some one else?
17614Tell me, will he live?
17614That is about what I said, was n''t it? 17614 The Reverend Howard Wynkoop, the Prasbytarian Missionary-- wouldn''t thet cork ye?"
17614The end? 17614 The gambler?
17614The hell!--and-- did-- she-- call you-- Brant?
17614The scout? 17614 The whites do n''t scalp, do they?"
17614Then it is true that you do not love me?
17614They tell you, do they?
17614To whom do you refer? 17614 To whom?"
17614Was Gillis your father?
17614Was he ever a soldier in the Seventh?
17614Was he real nice- looking?
17614Was her name Naida? 17614 Was n''t it awful?"
17614Was n''t it perfectly ridiculous? 17614 Was that all?"
17614Was that the lad''s name?
17614Was that what caused you to appear so distant to me in the hall, so vastly different from what you had been before?
17614Watson,he questioned, as the latter saluted and stood at attention,"do you know a man called Silent Murphy?"
17614Well, Bane,and the officer eyed his trim appearance with manifest approval,"what did you succeed in learning?"
17614Well, Billy,was Hampton''s friendly greeting,"are they keeping you fairly busy with''wars and rumors of wars''these days?"
17614Well, Jack,the latter began expectantly,"hev ye railly got the cinch on that cowboy at last, hey?"
17614Well, Mr. Bob Hampton,she questioned, plainly,"what is this going to be?"
17614Well, my lad, you are not dumb, are you?
17614Well,he said, inquiringly,"what does all this mean?"
17614Whar''d-- ye say ye-- wus bound?
17614What are you doing? 17614 What becomes of them?"
17614What can you mean?
17614What do ye-- want me fer?
17614What do you make of it?
17614What do you mean? 17614 What do you mean?"
17614What does it mean? 17614 What does the doctor say about Hampton?"
17614What face?
17614What is her name?
17614What is it now?
17614What is it, man?
17614What is it, now, Lane?
17614What is it?
17614What is it?
17614What is this Brant doing at Bethune? 17614 What is your name?"
17614What limit?
17614What sort of a looking man, Miss Spencer?
17614What step?
17614What thing?
17614What ye got against him, young feller?
17614What''s the matter? 17614 What''s-- your-- regiment?"
17614What, him? 17614 What?"
17614When?
17614Where are the men?
17614Where did you get this?
17614Where is Custer?
17614Where is Murphy, then? 17614 Where is Murphy?"
17614Where is he now?
17614Where?
17614Who are you? 17614 Who are you?"
17614Who are you?
17614Who gave you any right to decide what I should do?
17614Who is that fine- looking young officer?
17614Who is the man? 17614 Who is this fellow Murphy?"
17614Who sent you to me?
17614Who tell you?
17614Who''s running the game over at the Occidental?
17614Who-- am I?
17614Who-- the hell-- are ye?
17614Who-- who is she?
17614Who?
17614Who?
17614Whole-- eh-- bunch drop dead from fright?
17614Whose?
17614Whut did ye hit me fer, ye long- legged minin''jackass?
17614Whut is all this fuss about, anyhow?
17614Whut is up?
17614Whut''s got ter be Injuns?
17614Why did you not come down there, and report your presence in this neighborhood to me?
17614Why is it I am to be thus honored?
17614Why''just at this time''?
17614Why, Naida, is this you, child? 17614 Why, Naida, what do you think?
17614Why, had n''t you heard? 17614 Why?"
17614Why?
17614Will you kindly permit me to pass?
17614Will you take him?
17614Will you tell me the story?
17614Will you walk outside with me?
17614Without Bob Hampton?
17614Ye are? 17614 Yes, but who is it?"
17614Yes; but-- but do n''t you know who I am?
17614Yes; do you understand now why I trust this Bob Hampton?
17614Yes; what is it, sergeant? 17614 You believe in me now?
17614You do n''t know? 17614 You have been seeking me?
17614You have heard nothing?
17614You have seen him? 17614 You indorse, then, the claims he advances?"
17614You kissed me once; will you again?
17614You leave me so completely in the dark,he said, finally;"is there no possibility that this mysterious obstacle can ever be removed?"
17614You mean as a student?
17614You mean she said you would have to cut me out entirely if you stayed there with her?
17614You mean there is something-- some person, perhaps-- standing between?
17614You mean we should start now?
17614You mean your sudden determination to carry me home with you?
17614You never knew him, did you, Cook?
17614You told her how very foolish I acted?
17614You truly think she would wish it?
17614You were discussing me? 17614 You will forgive me?
17614You will go?
17614You will not quarrel?
17614You will, at least, tell me why?
17614You wish to know the truth?
17614You''re Mrs. Herndon, ai n''t you? 17614 You-- you really want me to go, do n''t you?"
17614You? 17614 All that can possibly be done to aid Hampton I shall do-- will you go?
17614Am I to understand this to be your wish?"
17614Am I to understand you are actually uncertain whether this man was your father or not?"
17614Am I to understand you have some particular object in this exchange of amenities?"
17614An''ca n''t ye see?
17614And are you the instrument that has worked such a miracle?"
17614And did n''t you fight at all?"
17614And did n''t you know?
17614And do you know your questioning is becoming quite personal?
17614And is it no longer right to search after the truth?"
17614And what did ye do wid the young lady, Oi make bould to ask?"
17614And with no explanation?"
17614And yet you dare pretend now to retain an interest in me?
17614Any shootin''?"
17614Are things developing into a truly serious affair-- a real campaign?"
17614Are you especially interested in prodigies?"
17614Are you false, or true?
17614Are you going up those bluffs?
17614Are you sick, Murphy?"
17614Are you that man who brought her out of the canyon?"
17614As president of the Bachelors''Club it is your right, of course, but do n''t you truly think I ought to give it to Mr. McNeil?
17614Brant''s troop?"
17614But I believe I have a right to ask, what do you intend for the future?
17614But from your appearance this can not always have been your home?"
17614But they do things so differently out here, do n''t they?
17614But what is the trouble?
17614But, Bob, I need you so much, and you will come back, wo n''t you?
17614But-- but you will help him, wo n''t you, for my sake?"
17614Can it be that I have resided with you, off and on, for ten years past without your ever realizing the fond yearnings of my heart?
17614Can not one act a lie as well as speak one?
17614Can not you understand?"
17614Can this be you, Hampton?"
17614Can you locate me and make a dash for it?
17614Can you remember that?"
17614Can you wonder that I hardly know how I stand in your sight?"
17614Caught no sight of the feller after ye got up?"
17614Coquette, or woman?
17614Could it concern his own future, as well as hers?
17614Could this strange journey have anything to do with Naida?
17614Did I not tell you that we Presbyterians are never guilty of such indiscretions?"
17614Did he want you to bring me to Sunday school?
17614Did n''t I know you was a gambler, and a''bad man''?
17614Did n''t I tell you plain enough out yonder,"--and her voice faltered slightly,--"just what I thought about you?
17614Did n''t I understand exactly who you was, and what was your business?
17614Did n''t you know they employed music at both functions nowadays?
17614Did you call me for some special reason?"
17614Did you happen to notice a peculiar black scar on the back of his right hand?"
17614Did you know him?"
17614Did-- did you kill him?"
17614Do I state this fairly, Naida?"
17614Do men and women there continually scheme and flirt, smile and stab, forever assuming parts like so many play- actors?"
17614Do n''t I have-- eh-- no show?"
17614Do n''t I know?
17614Do n''t care quite as much about it as you did, do you?"
17614Do n''t you see?"
17614Do n''t you think he ever questions as I do?
17614Do n''t you, Howard?
17614Do n''t you?"
17614Do not they share the responsibility of passing upon such applications?"
17614Do ye take these yere turns often?
17614Do you believe that sort of a fellow would prove a very good kind to look after a young lady?"
17614Do you claim to be Custer''s scout?"
17614Do you feel strong enough now to make another attempt to reach the top?"
17614Do you know if Mr. Hampton is really going to die?
17614Do you know the old Shasta mine?"
17614Do you mean Major Brant, the one Nolan killed over at Bethune?"
17614Do you mean old Gillis''s girl?
17614Do you mean old Gillis?"
17614Do you mean the mine- owner, Jack Moffat?"
17614Do you mean to say Mr. Hampton is not here in Glencaid?
17614Do you mean to say they come in through the roof?"
17614Do you mean to say you brought it through from there?"
17614Do you own this country?"
17614Do you question his being guilty?"
17614Do you really suppose he is content?
17614Do you simply play with hearts for idle amusement, or is there some true purpose ruling your actions?"
17614Do you think I am here to be played with?
17614Do you truly believe in his reform?"
17614Do you understand me, darling?
17614Do you understand now?
17614Do?
17614Does n''t he understand?
17614Does n''t the man know?
17614Does that yield me an equal privilege?"
17614Drag her about from camp to camp?
17614Educate her among the contaminating poison of gambling- holes and dance- halls?
17614Ever have a rope dangled in front of your eyes, sergeant, and a gun- barrel biting into your cheek at the same time?
17614Ever remember your mother?"
17614Everything about seems to exhale the spirit of romance; do n''t you find it so?"
17614Fifteen years?
17614For what reason, pray?"
17614From lip to lip passed the one vital question:"In God''s name, where is Reno?
17614Going?
17614Guffy?"
17614Guffy?"
17614Have I not guessed aright?"
17614Have those awful creatures gone?"
17614Have you any reason to suspect that he was not Naida Gillis''s father?"
17614He drew her hand through his arm, and said:"And then you will pledge me the first dance following?"
17614He entertained no doubt regarding the enmity of the big gambler, or his desire to"get even"for all past injuries; but how much did he know?
17614He seems almost to exercise some power of magic over her, do n''t you think?"
17614He wants to be-- eh-- the whole hog, but-- eh,--I reckon this is a-- eh-- free country, ai n''t it?
17614Herndon?"
17614Herndon?"
17614Herndon?"
17614His voice faltered sadly, yet succeeded in asking:"Are we, then, never to meet again?
17614How could I have ever been so blind?
17614How could I venture to believe you would ever really care in that way for such a waif as I?
17614How could he bring him forth from there alive?
17614How could it be so small?"
17614How did the thing happen?"
17614How do you get up there?"
17614How do you manage to get across here?"
17614How is your work prospering?"
17614How very nice that he should happen to arrive just at this time, is n''t it?"
17614How''d ye come ter know-- whar I wus?"
17614I have n''t been begging to stick with you, have I?
17614I know I am a perfect heathen,--Miss Spencer says I am,--but do you think it is so awful for me to want to know these things?"
17614I reckon you fellers will stand in all right ter help pull me out o''this hole?"
17614I tell you things looked mighty skittish for me just then, but what do you suppose I did with''em?"
17614I want to please him, and I admire his intellectual attainments; but how can he accept so much on faith, and be content?
17614I-- I do not believe you and Miss Spencer conversed in this way?"
17614If so, did Hampton know about it?
17614In God''s name, what human could be out there to call?
17614Indians?"
17614Is Mr. McNeil in your church?"
17614Is her home hereafter to be the saloon and the rough frontier hotel?
17614Is it Hampton?"
17614Is it because you do not like me?"
17614Is it not a woman''s privilege?
17614Is it possible you are the same we rescued on the prairie two years ago?"
17614Is it possible you can have been acting again?"
17614Is it this way in all society-- Eastern society, I mean?
17614Is it wrong-- unwomanly, I mean-- for me to question spiritual things?"
17614Is it your desire to return to the hall?"
17614Is n''t a soldier''s life a worthy one?"
17614Is n''t it a perfect shame for such a man to throw himself away like that?"
17614Is n''t it odd what such a man could possibly want with her?
17614Is n''t it perfectly delightful what he is going to do for her?"
17614Is she Captain Nolan''s daughter?
17614Is that true, Phoebe?
17614Is that true?"
17614Is that you, Marshal?"
17614Is that your meaning?"
17614Is the tale true?"
17614Is there anything in it?"
17614Is this another sign of your impractical mind?"
17614Is this man goin''after them, sir?"
17614Is this the Seventh-- the Seventh?--skulking here under cover while Custer begs help?
17614Is-- is Mr. Moffat a member of your church?"
17614Just what happened to give you such a change of heart?"
17614Keep her with you?
17614Kin I sit up?
17614Know?
17614McNeil?"
17614Men, do you happen to know what sort of a cur you are following in this affair?"
17614Miss Naida, is it now your desire that I leave you?"
17614Mr. Moffat, Mr. McNeil, Mr. Mason, surely you will grant me release this once?"
17614My father?"
17614Not Gillis?"
17614Now he had work to accomplish in the open; he was going to stay with the Kid-- after that,_ quien sabe_?
17614Now is n''t he a sweet specimen to lead in the avenging of a supposed crime?"
17614Now kin I cum on?"
17614Now will you go?"
17614Now, damn you, what is your little game?"
17614Of course not; but what do you mean by that?
17614Oh, Lieutenant, is n''t it the most romantic situation that ever was?
17614People do n''t take such things so seriously nowadays, do they?
17614People use their given names almost entirely out here in the West, do n''t they?"
17614Perhaps you will kindly explain?"
17614Please do not question me any more; can not you see how I am suffering?
17614Pretty tune, that one I was whistling, do n''t you think?
17614Rather odd place for us to meet, is n''t it?
17614Recognize anybody in that first bunch?"
17614Shall I conduct you to him?"
17614Shall I go, or stay?
17614Shall we not be seated?"
17614She is your''star''pupil, then?"
17614Should he attempt to learn more about the young girl?
17614So it is a try?"
17614Something either in or about Glencaid was compelling Murphy to keep out of sight-- but what?
17614Starving?"
17614Sure, an''what do ye think of thet?"
17614Surely you can not expect that I would seek such an opportunity?"
17614Surely, Lieutenant, it can not be possible that you have become interested in her?"
17614Tell me, is not this a fairly drawn portrait of your Miss Spencer?"
17614The horror of it overwhelmed Hampton; not only did this unexpected denouement leave him utterly hopeless, but what was he to do with the fellow?
17614Then maybe you might manage to rush a message through for me to Fort A. Lincoln, without discommoding Uncle Sam?"
17614Then somebody''s been stirring you up about me, have they?
17614There could remain no reasonable doubt of his identity, but what was he doing there?
17614There was a considerable pause; then the speaker asked, calmly,"Is he married?"
17614There, I''ve told it all; do you really think I am so very bad, because-- because I like Bob Hampton?"
17614They are fighting at the Shasta dump, you say?
17614This trip with Murphy has some bearing upon Naida Gillis, has it not?"
17614Under such conditions you wo n''t mind my kissing you out here, will you?"
17614Was it caused by an Indian arrow?"
17614Was n''t it you I heard whistling just now?
17614Was that all she said?"
17614Was there ever any doubt?
17614Was there, indeed, some secret in the life history of this young girl?--some story of shame, perhaps?
17614Well, why do n''t you altogether decide?
17614What are you doing alone here?"
17614What business has that fellow got planning what I shall do?"
17614What can it be?
17614What can you mean?"
17614What could the fellow have meant?
17614What did follow?"
17614What did you talk about?
17614What do you advise doing?"
17614What do you mean, man?"
17614What else would you expect of one possessing my kindly disposition and well- known motives of philanthropy?
17614What else?"
17614What happened?
17614What has become of the rest of the boys?"
17614What in thunder do ye want o''him?
17614What is his given name?"
17614What is it I have done?"
17614What is it ye think ye see?"
17614What is it?"
17614What is it?"
17614What is that figure 7 on your hat for?"
17614What peculiar power did he wield over her life?
17614What purpose underlay his insinuations against that young girl?
17614What sort of a wild beast do you suppose I am?"
17614What special benefit did he hope to gain from conferring with Naida Gillis?
17614What was it that Murphy said?"
17614What was it?"
17614What was the trouble?
17614What was there in common between that outcast, and this well- groomed, frankly spoken young woman?
17614What were they?"
17614What''s his name?"
17614What''s the blame odds?
17614What''s the use?
17614What, then, would ever induce such a man to open his mouth in confession of a long- hidden crime?
17614Where have you been all this time?"
17614Where is he?"
17614Where was it?"
17614Where''s my-- horse?"
17614Which way should they turn?
17614Whipped?
17614Who and what are you?"
17614Who are you, anyhow?
17614Who is in danger, and from what?"
17614Who is leading this outfit?"
17614Who was it, Bob?"
17614Who was the feller?"
17614Who-- else was it?"
17614Who?
17614Who?"
17614Whose picture?"
17614Why are you here?"
17614Why did n''t you want me?"
17614Why did you not say so at first?
17614Why not have him?"
17614Why should I suspect thoughts that come to me naturally?
17614Why should they?
17614Why should they?
17614Why was he here and with Murphy?
17614Why were they kept lying there in idleness?
17614Why were they not pushed forward to do their part?
17614Why, Mr. McNeil, you surely do not intend to question the truth of Mr. Moffat''s narrative?"
17614Why, how did that happen?"
17614Why, indeed, should I think otherwise?
17614Why, may I ask?
17614Why, you arrived only this morning, and do you mean to say you have met already?"
17614Why-- why did you come here?"
17614Will you go back to Bethune with me-- back to the old regiment as my wife?"
17614Will you go to Mrs. Herndon''s, and find out how you like it?
17614Will you not say yes?"
17614Will you promise to let me take him down to Cheyenne fer trial?"
17614With this recognized as a fact, was he justified in endeavoring to win Naida Gillis for himself?
17614Wo n''t you come in?"
17614Wo n''t you?"
17614Would you mind giving me some details of your meeting?"
17614Would you mind telling me the names of the two gentlemen?"
17614Wynkoop?"
17614Wynkoop?"
17614Ye ai n''t gone cracked, hev ye?
17614Yet who was he?
17614You accept the trust, I believe?"
17614You carry despatches, you say?
17614You do n''t suppose I''m going to have any useless girl like you hanging around on to me, do you?"
17614You do not care?"
17614You do not go away blaming me?"
17614You have not been hurt, Lieutenant Brant?"
17614You have not known?
17614You know me.--However, as you seem to shy over my first question, I''ll honor you with a second,--Where''s Silent Murphy?"
17614You love him, do n''t you, Naida?"
17614You lying whelp, are you ready to die?"
17614You see this uniform?
17614You was n''t planning to strike out after him, was you?"
17614You will do that, wo n''t you?"
17614You will promise, wo n''t you?"
17614You will, wo n''t you, Lieutenant?"
17614You would n''t truly mind yielding up your claim for just this once, would you?"
17614You''re old man Gillis''s gal from Bethune, ai n''t ye?"
17614Your proof?"
17614_ Sabe_?"
17614_ Sabe_?"
17614do you realize what you are saying?
17614had he become a child again, to tremble before imagined evil, a mere hobgoblin of the mind?
17614have n''t you heard?"
17614he exclaimed, in open triumph;"and have I, then, at last made fair capture of your secret?
17614he roared,"what do you mean?"
17614he ventured at last,"what is your proposition?"
17614her ideal of manhood the quarrelsome gambler, and of womanhood a painted harlot?
17614how could they be?
17614man, do you realize what you are saying?
17614one of those fellows who had these rooms?"
17614or has he actually succeeded in smothering every doubt?
17614roared one, hoarsely, his gun poised as if in threat,"what do you mean by riding us down like that?
17614was thet you?
17614which?
