"Yes, that is true," he says, in a curious tone, in answer to her words, his eyes fixed moodily upon the ground. Then suddenly he lifts his head, and as his gaze meets hers some of the truth and sweetness that belong to her springs from her to him and restores him once again to his proper self. Soon an old woman, bent with age and crippled, came from the door and smiled as she saw the two persons coming. Mona, turning, confronts the frightened group in the corner, both men and women, with a face changed and aged by grief and indignation..

Instinct warns her of treachery; common sense belies the warning. To which shall she give ear? So Doatie, nervous and miserable, and with unshed tears in her eyes, stands where he tells her, with her hand resting on the back of an arm-chair, while he, going over to the window, deliberately turns his face from hers.

When any one displeased him or refused to do what he said he just smiled and then killed the person. He was brave. In battle with enemies he was the equal of twenty men, rushing here, there, into the thickest of the fights, and killing—always with that silent, terrible smile on his face. Because he was such a great warrior, and also because he was generous, helping the poor, feasting any who came to his lodge, he was the head chief of the Blackfeet. "I mean," says Mona, flushing a vivid scarlet, "is she stern?".
