"Shall I wait for him?"
"Certainly."
"Shall I treat with him? You know but little reliance is to be placed in the word of an Apache."
"That is true," the young man answered, thoughtfully; "still, our position is at this moment most difficult. We are left to our own resources; our friends hesitate, and dare not yet decide in our favour; while, on the other hand, our enemies are raising their heads, regaining courage, and preparing to attack us vigorously. Although my heart heaves against such an alliance, it is still evident to me, that if the Apaches consent frankly to help us, their assistance will be very useful to us."
"You are right. In our present situation, outlawed by society, and tracked like wild beasts, it would, perhaps, be imprudent to reject the alliance of the Redskins."
"Well, my friend, I give you full liberty, and events must guide you. I trust entirely to your intelligence and devotion."
"I shall not deceive your expectations."
"Let us part now; and luck be with you."
"Goodbye, till we meet again."
"Goodbye, till to-morrow."
