Father
straightened
up
and
was
about
to
refuse
when
he
glanced
to
Laban
,
who
replied
in
an
undertone
.
"
They
ai
n't
no
more
use
in
our
hands
than
in
the
wagon
,
seein
'
as
the
powder
's
gone
.
"
Two
of
our
wounded
men
who
could
not
walk
were
put
into
the
wagons
,
and
along
with
them
were
put
all
the
little
children
.
Lee
seemed
to
be
picking
them
out
over
eight
and
under
eight
.
Jed
and
I
were
large
for
our
age
,
and
we
were
nine
besides
;
so
Lee
put
us
with
the
older
bunch
and
told
us
we
were
to
march
with
the
women
on
foot
.
When
he
took
our
baby
from
mother
and
put
it
in
a
wagon
she
started
to
object
.
Then
I
saw
her
lips
draw
tightly
together
,
and
she
gave
in
.
She
was
a
gray-eyed
,
strong-featured
,
middle-aged
woman
,
large-boned
and
fairly
stout
.

But
the
long
journey
and
hardship
had
told
on
her
,
so
that
she
was
hollow-cheeked
and
gaunt
,
and
like
all
the
women
in
the
company
she
wore
an
expression
of
brooding
,
never-ceasing
anxiety
.
It
was
when
Lee
described
the
order
of
march
that
Laban
came
to
me
.
Lee
said
that
the
women
and
the
children
that
walked
should
go
first
in
the
line
,
following
behind
the
two
wagons
.
Then
the
men
,
in
single
file
,
should
follow
the
women
.
When
Laban
heard
this
he
came
to
me
,
untied
the
scalps
from
his
belt
,
and
fastened
them
to
my
waist
.
"
But
you
ai
n't
killed
yet
,
"
I
protested
.
"
You
bet
your
life
I
ai
n't
,
"
he
answered
lightly
.

"
I
've
just
reformed
,
that
's
all
.
This
scalp-wearin
'
is
a
vain
thing
and
heathen
.
"
He
stopped
a
moment
as
if
he
had
forgotten
something
,
then
,
as
he
turned
abruptly
on
his
heel
to
regain
the
men
of
our
company
,
he
called
over
his
shoulder
,
"
Well
,
so
long
,
Jesse
.
"
I
was
wondering
why
he
should
say
good-bye
when
a
white
man
came
riding
into
the
corral
.
He
said
Major
Higbee
had
sent
him
to
tell
us
to
hurry
up
,
because
the
Indians
might
attack
at
any
moment
.
So
the
march
began
,
the
two
wagons
first
.
Lee
kept
along
with
the
women
and
walking
children
.
Behind
us
,
after
waiting
until
we
were
a
couple
of
hundred
feet
in
advance
,
came
our
men
.
