Poor Ni-ha-be! It was not many days after that before Mother Dolores one morning called her into the lodge.
"Ni-ha-be, Rita is going to the lodge of Send Warning!"
"She shall not! He is to old. His head is white. He is ugly. I will not let her go. He is a pale-face."
"So is she."
"She is an Apache now. She is my sister. He shall not have her."
"She is to be his daughter."
"Ugh! Then he will take her away."
"No. He will stay with us."
"Will the Knotted Cord stay?"
"Of course. He is to be the son of Send Warning."
