Worse
!
What
trifling
,
child
,
to
talk
so
!
There
is
nothing
worse
,
in
Texas
,
than
Comanches
on
the
war
trail
--
nothing
half
so
dangerous
.
"
Louise
might
have
thought
there
was
--
a
danger
at
least
as
difficult
to
be
avoided
.
Perhaps
she
was
reflecting
upon
a
pursuit
of
wild
steeds
--
or
thinking
of
the
trail
of
a
lazo
.
She
made
no
reply
.
Calhoun
continued
the
conversation
.
"
Is
the
major
sure
of
the
Indians
being
up
?
What
does
he
say
,
uncle
?
"
"
That
there
have
been
rumours
of
it
for
some
days
past
,
though
not
reliable
.
Now
it
is
certain
.
Last
night
Wild
Cat
,
the
Seminole
chief
,
came
to
the
Fort
with
a
party
of
his
tribe
;
bringing
the
news
that
the
painted
pole
has
been
erected
in
the
camps
of
the
Comanches
all
over
Texas
,
and
that
the
war
dance
has
been
going
on
for
more
than
a
month
.
That
several
parties
are
already
out
upon
the
maraud
,
and
may
be
looked
for
among
the
settlements
at
any
moment
.
"
"
And
Wild
Cat
himself
--
what
of
him
?
"
asked
Louise
,
an
unpleasant
reminiscence
suggesting
the
inquiry
.
"
Is
that
renegade
Indian
to
be
trusted
,
who
appears
to
be
as
much
an
enemy
to
the
whites
as
to
the
people
of
his
own
race
?
"
"
Quite
true
,
my
daughter
.
You
have
described
the
chief
of
the
Seminoles
almost
in
the
same
terms
as
I
find
him
spoken
of
,
in
a
postscript
to
the
major
's
letter
.
He
counsels
us
to
beware
of
the
two-faced
old
rascal
,
who
will
be
sure
to
take
sides
with
the
Comanches
,
whenever
it
may
suit
his
convenience
to
do
so
.
"
"
Well
,
"
continued
the
planter
,
laying
aside
the
note
,
and
betaking
himself
to
his
coffee
and
waffles
,
"
I
trust
we
sha
'n'
t
see
any
redskins
here
--
either
Seminoles
or
Comanches
.
In
making
their
marauds
,
let
us
hope
they
will
not
like
the
look
of
the
crenelled
parapets
of
Casa
del
Corvo
,
but
give
the
hacienda
a
wide
berth
.
"
Before
any
one
could
respond
,
a
sable
face
appearing
at
the
door
of
the
dining-room
--
which
was
the
apartment
in
which
breakfast
was
being
eaten
--
caused
a
complete
change
in
the
character
of
the
conversation
.
