“Yes; the whispering Indians lie. Squatting Bear once kicked Mouseskin.”
“You know all the lodges, Mouseskin?”
“All!”
“Where is the white girl that Feel-the-Sky brought to the wigwam?”
The Sioux boy started at the mention of his victim's name, and glanced around suspiciously.
Then he came up to Midnight Jack with a look of trust in his eyes.
“Will Running Water keep the words that Mouseskin gives him?” asked the boy.
“Running Water will keep them.”
Then from the lips of the Sioux fell the story of his fight with Feel-the-Sky; his discomfiture by Dora followed.
