“
These
stems
are
so
tough
and
sticky
,
”
she
said
.
“
I
can
’
t
break
them
.
Loan
me
your
knife
,
”
she
ordered
Freckles
.
As
she
reached
for
the
knife
,
her
back
was
for
one
second
toward
the
men
.
She
looked
into
his
eyes
and
deliberately
winked
.
She
severed
the
stems
,
tossed
the
knife
to
Freckles
,
and
walking
to
Jack
,
laid
the
flowers
over
his
heart
.
Freckles
broke
into
a
sweat
of
agony
.
He
had
said
she
would
be
safe
in
a
herd
of
howling
savages
.
Would
she
?
If
Black
Jack
even
made
a
motion
toward
touching
her
,
Freckles
knew
that
from
somewhere
he
would
muster
the
strength
to
kill
him
.
He
mentally
measured
the
distance
to
where
his
club
lay
and
set
his
muscles
for
a
spring
.
But
no
—
by
the
splendor
of
God
!
The
big
fellow
was
baring
his
head
with
a
hand
that
was
unsteady
.
The
Angel
pulled
one
of
the
long
silver
pins
from
her
hat
and
fastened
her
flowers
securely
.
Freckles
was
quaking
.
What
was
to
come
next
?
What
was
she
planning
,
and
oh
!
did
she
understand
the
danger
of
her
presence
among
those
men
;
the
real
necessity
for
action
?
As
the
Angel
stepped
from
Jack
,
she
turned
her
head
to
one
side
and
peered
at
him
,
quite
as
Freckles
had
seen
the
little
yellow
fellow
do
on
the
line
a
hundred
times
,
and
said
:
“
Well
,
that
does
the
trick
!
Isn
’
t
that
fine
?
See
how
it
sets
him
off
,
boys
?
Don
’
t
you
forget
the
tie
is
to
be
red
,
and
the
first
ride
soon
.
I
can
’
t
wait
very
long
.
Now
I
must
go
.
The
Bird
Woman
will
be
ready
to
start
,
and
she
will
come
here
hunting
me
next
,
for
she
is
busy
today
.
What
did
I
come
here
for
anyway
?
”
She
glanced
inquiringly
around
,
and
several
of
the
men
laughed
.
Oh
,
the
delight
of
it
!
She
had
forgotten
her
errand
for
him
!
Jack
had
a
second
increase
in
height
.
The
Angel
glanced
helplessly
as
if
seeking
a
clue
.
Then
her
eyes
fell
,
as
if
by
accident
,
on
Freckles
,
and
she
cried
,
“
Oh
,
I
know
now
!
It
was
those
magazines
the
Bird
Woman
promised
you
.
I
came
to
tell
you
that
we
put
them
under
the
box
where
we
hide
things
,
at
the
entrance
to
the
swamp
as
we
came
in
.
I
knew
I
would
need
my
hands
crossing
the
swamp
,
so
I
hid
them
there
.
You
’
ll
find
them
at
the
same
old
place
.
”
Then
Freckles
spoke
.
“
It
’
s
mighty
risky
for
you
to
be
crossing
the
swamp
alone
,
”
he
said
.
“
I
’
m
surprised
that
the
Bird
Woman
would
be
letting
you
try
it
.
I
know
it
’
s
a
little
farther
,
but
it
’
s
begging
you
I
am
to
be
going
back
by
the
trail
.
That
’
s
bad
enough
,
but
it
’
s
far
safer
than
the
swamp
.
”
