him to forget he is a white man�拭─�

     ;Him always live with my people�察�him marry my daughter。; 

     ;Tell me this�察�is he far away�拭─�

     ;Very  far。  Many  days。 You   never   find   him。 You   stay  here�察 �keep   girl�察�

and    me    and   my    people    your   friends。   You    come    after   himnot    your 

friends� ─�

     ;Why�察  �bless   your   heart�察  �I   never   want   to   see   that   man   again�察  �your 

daughter is welcome to him�察�but I'm afraid she's got a bad bargain。 This 

girl's   just   as   I'd   have   herunencumbered。   I'm   AWFUL   glad   you   come�察�

pardner� �Whenever you happen to be down in this part of Texas�察�drop in 

and make us a visit� ─�

     With every passing moment�察�Willock was realizing more keenly what 

this   amazing   sequel   to   the   past   meant   to   him。   He   would   not   only   have 

company   in   his   dreary   solitude�察  �but�察  �of   all   company�察  �the   very   one   he 



                                             41

yearned for to comfort his heart。 ;Give us your paw�察�old manshake。 You 

bet I'll take her� ─�

    He strode forward and addressed the girl�此 �Are you willing to stay with 

me�察�little one�拭─�

     She shrank back from the wild figure。 During his two years of hiding 

in the mountains�察�Willock had cared nothing for his personal appearance。 

His garments�察�on disintegrating had been replaced by skins�察�thus giving an 

aspect    of  assorted   colors   and  materials   rather   remarkable。    Only   when 

driven by necessity had he ventured on long journeys to the nearest food´ 

station�察�carrying the skins obtained   by trapping�察�and bringing back   fresh 

stores   of   provisions   and   tobacco   on   the   pony   purchased   by   the   Spanish 

gold。 

    Willock was greatly disconcerted by her attitude。 He said regretfully�察�

;I guess I've been so much with myself that I ain't noticed my outside as a 

man ought。 Won't you make your home with me�察�child�拭─�He held out his 

rough hand appealingly。 

     She retreated farther�察�saying with disapproval�察 �Much hair� ─�

    Willock laid his hand on his breast�察�returning�察 �Much heart� ─�

     ;Him white�察─�said the Indian�察�swinging himself upon his horse。 ;Him 

save your life。 Sometime me come visit�察�come eat�察�come stay with you。; 

    As he wheeled about�察�she held out her arms toward him�察�crying wildly�察�

;Don't go� �Don't leave me� �Him much hair� ─�

     The Indian dashed away without turning his head。 

     ;Good lord�察�honey�察─�exclaimed Willock�察�at his wits' ends�察 �don't cry� �I 

can't do nothing if you CRY。 Won't you come look at your new home�拭─�He 

waved eagerly toward the dugout。 

     ;Hole in the ground� ─�cried the girl desperately。 ;I want my tepee。 Am 

I a prairie´dog�拭─�

     ;No�察�honey�察�you ain't。 You and me is both white�察�and we ought to live 

together�察�it ain't right for you to live with red people that kills and burns 

your own kith and kin。; 

     She looked at him repellently through her streaming tears。 ;Big hair� ─�

she cried。 ;Big hair� ─�

     ;And must I cut it off�拭�I'll make my head as smooth as yonder bald´

headed mountain´peak if it'll keep you from crying。 Course you ain't seen 

nobody with whiskers amongst them Indians�察�but THEY ain't your people。 

Your people is white�察�they are like me�察�they grows hair。 But I'll shave and 

paint myself red�察�and hunt for feathers�察�if that's what you want。; 

     Her   sobbing   grew   less   violent。   Despite   his   ferocious   aspect�察  �no   fear 

could remain in her heart at sight of that distressed countenance�察�at sound 

of   those    conciliatory    tones。   Willock�察   �observing     that  the  tempest     was 

abating�察�continued in his most appealing manner�此�

     ;I'm going to do whatever you say�察�honey�察�and you're going to be the 

queen of the cove。 Ain't you never been lonesome amongst all them red 

devils�拭�Ain't you missed your poor mammy as died crossing the plains�拭�It 

was me that buried her。 Ain't you never knowed how it felt to want to lay 

your head on somebody's shoulder and slip your little arms about his neck�察�

and go to sleep like an angel whatever was happening around�拭�I guess SO� �

Well�察�that's me�察�too。 Here I've been for two long year�察�never seeing nothing 

but   wild   animals   or   prowling   savages   till   the   last   few   months   when   a 

settler comes to them mountains seven mile to the southwest。 Looked like 

I'd die�察�sometimes�察�just having myself to entertain。; 

     ;You lonesome�察�too�拭─�said the girl�察�looking up incredulously。 She drew 

a step nearer�察�a wistful light in her dark eyes。 

     The man stretched out his arms and dropped them to his side�察�heavily。 

;Like that�察─�he cried;just emptiness� ─�

     ;I stay�察─�she said simply。 ;All time�察�want my own people�察�all time�察�Red 

Feather say some day take me to white peoplewant to go�察�all time。 But 

Red   Feather   never   tell   me   'BIG   HAIR。'   Didn't   know   what   it   was   I   was 

looking fornever thought it would be something like you。; 

     ;But you ain't afraid now�察�are you�察�little one�拭─�

     She shook her head�察�and drawing nearer�察�seated herself on the ground 

before   the   dugout。   ;You   LOOK   Big   Hair�察─  �she   explained   sedately�察   �but 

your speech is talk of weak squaw。; 

     Somewhat disconcerted by these words�察�Willock sat down opposite her�察�

and   resumed   his   pipe   as   if   to   assert   his   sex。   ;I   seem   weak   to   you�察─  �he 

explained�察 �because I love you�察�child�察�and want to make friends with you。 

But let me meet a big manwell�察�you'd see�察�then� ─�He looked so ferocious

as   he   uttered   these   words�察  �that   she   started   up   like   a   frightened   quail�察�

grasping her blanket about her。 

     ;No�察�no�察�honey�察─�he cooed abjectly�察 �I wouldn't hurt a fly。 Me�察�I was 

always     a  byword     amongst     my    pards。   They'd    say�察 �'There    goes   Brick 

Willock�察  �what   never   harmed   nobody。' When   they  kept   me   in   at   school   I 

never   clumb   out   the   window�察  �and   it   was   me   got   all   the   prize   cards   at 

Sunday´school。   How   comes   it�察  �honey�察  �that   you   ain't   forgot   to   talk   like 

civilized beings�拭─�

     ;Red Feather�察�him always put me with squaw that know Englishthat 

been to school on the reservation。 Never let me learn talk like the Indians。 

Him always say some day take me to my own people。 But never said 'BIG 

HAIR。'; 

     ;Did he tell you your mother died two years ago�拭─�

     ;Yesfather�察�him dead�察�too。 Both died in the plains。 Father was shot by 

robbers。 Mother was left in big wagonyou bury her near this mountain。; 

     ;Oh�察�ho� �So your father was killed at the same time your mother was�察�

eh�拭─�

     ;Yes。; 

     ;Wellall right。 And now you got nobody but me to look after you 

but   you   don't   need   no   more�察  �as   long   as   I'm   able   to   be   up   and   about�察�

nothing is going to hurt you。 Just you tell me what you want�察�and it'll be 

did。; 

     ;Want to be ALL like white people�察�want to be just like mother。; 

     ;Well�察�I'll teach you as fur up as I've been myself。 Your style of talk 

ain't correct�察�but it was the best Red Feather could do by you。 Him and you 

lay down your words like stepping´stones for your thoughts to step over�察�

but just listen at me�察�how smooth and fine´ textured my language is�察�with 

no breaks or crevices from the beginning of my periods to where my voice 

steps down to start on a lower ledge。 That's the way white people talks�察�not 

that   they   got   more   to   say   than   Injuns�察  �but   they   fills   in�察  �and   embodies 

everything�察�like filling up cabin´walls with mud
