A fear raised sharply in the woman’s eyes as Lajoie stepped up to her. She was looking past his shoulder and the raised ohe hand to her mouth.
Lajoie spun around with his hand on his knife to see who was intruding.
Rhoda held the medicine bag by the thong. She swung It short and hard. The lethal weight of bulleta in the bag took Lajoie on the side of the head. It was indeed strong medicine. Baptiste Lajoie fell like a dead man.
From under her dress she took the oilskin packet with the mixture of vermilion and bacon grease that Ree had stirred together two days before. She snatched a twig and knelt beside Laioie.
The mixture was warm frwn her body heat. It stood In heavy glo. bulea as she touched it to Lajoie's face and hands with the stick Some of the yermillon had darkened from the grease, so that black streaks showed in the hideous pustules she created "on La-joie’s face and hand|.

"Then it won’t hurt aone if they look, will it?"

Rhoda burst from the hrees then. She worked her mouth soundleasly and pointed back to where Lajoie lay.

There was much worse, and that waa why the eouneU had been called to warn the people of the Snakea and Bannocks.
In iht psck trains of Hudson’s Bay Co. and American Fur Co. was file spotted dettb.
Some of the lesser chiefs eov-tred their mouths. From the crowd outside there came a grunt of rage and fear.
"The spotted death is in the firewater that fiun-on-the-Face and Red Man bring," Bridger said solemnly. "It la also nl their food, and k crawls like little lice in all thsir trade goods, waiting to bite those who receive them.”
Terror and anger leaped In the eyes of ths Indians. The spotted death that rotted the faces of strong worriors, of children, of aquawi. Once it started, flight did

The truth waa easy to find out, Bridfftr said. Let all the Snakea and Bannocks go to meet the train. Then let a few of the chiefs ride cloae enough to see for themselves if the spotted death waa there,
Why waa it that white men al-waya brought bad things to the Indians? Thres Horns wanted to know.

"Why have no Crows been seen ed m>t to come farther. That was
this summer?" Bridger asked. They knew about the spotted death. Red Coat MacKenzie at Fort Union had sent word to warn them to stay deep in the xnoun* tains, but he wa* sending his train to the Snakes and Bannocks, a train that crawled wiWi the lice of ths rotten'faced sickness. The Rocky Mountain Fur Co. would not do this.
The rage increased. The eouneU almost got away from Bridger. Borne of the lesser chief* who should have waited for their elders to speak forgot themselves and suggested that it might be well to kill all the white men in the mountains.
