Mordecsl Price pointed to himself and Big Nose Yenzer and addressed the Indians: "We wiU go to the camp so that all the white men may be prepared to receive our brothers, the Snakes.
This was ’ pleasing to Beaver ^

It waa too late when liordecal turned. He law the rifle bearing on him, a heavy etcM-sider held by a man who waa kneeling behind the packa. Oil balance, he hurted hia knife at the aour. whUfcered face behind the rifle, but he waa
Tails and hia frienda.
The two men crosaed the Platte with Rhoda Marsh riding behind them. They rode down the rot«rh-est side of the river and went in the last quarter of a mile on foot. No guard* were out.
Most of the camp, it seemed, was gathered around a card game being played on the packs.
Mordecai and Big Nose and Rho-
Bif Note‘1 rifle boomed. He had located his man at last. Parson Bill Kerr Upped forward. His rifle barrel came down on the packa as Big Nose's bullet struck him. The ball from Parson Bill's rifle punctured one of the curved tins alcohol In the packs.
The doin’s was over, though Mordecai and Big Nose didn't know it for a while. Mordecai dragged out

the woman.
Someone at the card game saw them. After’’ a quick buzz of talk there was silence. One of the players who stod up to look was still holding the ^ck of cards ^ "That's Lajoie," Big Nose muttered, "him In the cut-up shirt."
Loafers, all around the camp began to rise, cranning their necks.
Someone said. "Big Nose I"
"See your men?" Mordecai asked softly of Big Nose.
Big Nose hesitated before eay-iaff no,
Mordecai stopped about twenty feet from the main body of men.
From the corner of his eye he noted that Rhoda had obeyed and
that there were no other evil ones in camp, but his words didn't stick until the blood heat began to run out of Mordecai and^Big Nose.
Mordecai saw Rhoda, stock still, staring St him as if he’d Just scalped a half-dozen innocents. He turned away frwn her angrily. What did she think the fur trade was. a picnic on a slow Massachusetts river!
He wasn't apologizing to no one or explaining nothing.

"Hey-yel Hey-yaf Hey-i-a-aa!" The Snakes had set a pole up,
