"Never mind. I want it to put under my pillow to dream on," and I have
it yet.
One half-hour after that I sat in the doorway, scratching my head and
thinkin'; whilst before my eyes marched off Colin Hiccup Grunt, Great
Peace Chief of the Yumas, bare-legged and red-headed, with his wool hat
on one side and his bagpipe squealin', at the head of his company. You
won't see such a sight often, so I watched 'em out of eyeshot.
It chanced I was asleep inside when the rider came from the ranch, so
when I stuck my head out to answer his hail, "Why," says he, "how
you've changed!" He was surprised, that man.
"You ain't done nothing to old Scotty?" says he, looking cross.
"No," says I. "Hold your hand. He's gone off and joined the Injuns."
Then I up and told him the story.
"Hungh!" says he. "Well, that's just like him!"
