“You can do so.”
The outlaw and his captive were then riding on, when he halted and said:
“Chief Death Face, those braves of yours whom I took with me I shall arm with repeating rifles and revolvers. I also have a pair of fine revolvers, a knife and a rifle for you, with a very handsome buckskin suit sent by an officer at the fort to a friend in the East, with slouch hat and all.
“They will fit you, I am sure, and I wish you to accept them, as well as several fine Mexican serapes.”
“Thank you, Captain Eagle, I will take them.”
“You have done well, I see, on your raid?”
“Oh, yes.”
“Come to my quarters in the village to-night.”
“I will.”
