him that he was making mistake.
He dropped the pig and ran away he
fore my uncle could load up for a another
shot. The next morning they examined
his tracks II was old Two Claws.
But what split him for being quiet
neighbor WIS something that happened
about year after that.
There WAS rowing family Of Indians
enCamped near the settlement, hunting,
fishing and making moccasins and
baskets, which they traded the whites.
One afternoon the Rod-Sky. of.the.
Morning wife Of the Walcr--nake-with'
the. Long-Tail came over to the settle
ment with some to their truck for sale.
She had a papoose on her back strapped
on board another squaw travelled
with her, carrying m empty jug.
Almost within sight Of Germans
grocery, Red-Sky took of her paPoose
AMI hung it on tree. The fellows
around the store had made fun Of IL
when she was there once before, 10 she
preferred TO leave it in the woods rather
than expose il to the coarse jokes OF the
boys. The little thing waS used I r., such
treatment. Whether carried or hung
up, papoosey never cried.
The squaws traded off their truck,
and bought, with other lnxurlcs OF
civilization, gallon of whisky. They
drank out Of the jug, and tEen looked
at more goods. Then they drank again,
and from bcirg shy and silent, asat
first, they giggled and chattcd like 4
couple OF silly white girls. They spent
a good deal more time and money at
Germans than they would If it hadn't
been for the whisky, but finally they
started to go back through the woods.
They went chattering aud gisgling to
the tree where the papoose had been left,
There was no pap0o3e there.
This discovery sObered them They
thought at first that the fellows around
the store had played them trick by
taking it away, but by-and-by the Red
Sky.of- the Morning set up shrek.
She had found the board not far oil,
but no papoose strapped TO it, only
something that told the story Of what
had happened.
