Here, toward the eastern part of the territory, the government had portioned off the San Carlos Agency for its Apache wards9, and some thirty miles away, not far from the banks of the river, Camp Thomas for its faithful soldiery.
On a day when the mercury registered 120 degrees, Felipa Landor drove into the camp. Her life, since her marriage three years before, had been the usual nomadic[Pg 61] one of the place and circumstances, rarely so much as a twelvemonth in one place, never certain for one day where the next would find her. Recently Landor had been stationed at the headquarters of the Department of Arizona. But Felipa had made no complaint whatever at having to leave the gayest post in the territories for the most God-forsaken, and she refused flatly to go East. "I can stand anything that you can," she told her husband when he suggested it, which was apparently10 true enough, for now, in a heat that was playing out the very mules11, covered as she was with powdery, irritating dust, she was quite cheerful as he helped her from the ambulance.
She stood looking round the post, across the white-hot parade ground, to the adobe12 barracks and the sutler's store. Then she turned and considered the officers' quarters. They were a row of hospital, wall, and A tents, floored with rough boards and sheltered by ramadas of willow13 branches.
In the middle of the line there was a one-room mud hut. This, with the tents back of it, was her home. Landor had fitted up the hut with Navajo blankets, Indian baskets, dolls, saddle bags, war bonnets15, and quivers; with stuffed birds and framed chromos, camp-chairs and some rough quartermaster's furniture. A gray blanket, with a yellow Q. M. D. in the centre, kept the glare out at the window, and the room was cool enough. One advantage of adobe—and it has others—is that it retains all summer the winter cold, and all winter the summer heat.
[Pg 62]
Felipa expressed decided16 approval, and set to work making herself comfortable at once. Within ten minutes she had changed her travelling things for a white wrapper, had brushed the dust from her hair, and left it hanging straight and coarse and dead black, below her waist,—she was given to loosing it whenever the smallest excuse offered,—and had settled herself to rest in a canvas lounging chair.
Landor had come to agree with the major at Grant, that she was an excellent wife for a soldier. Her tastes were simple as those of a hermit17. She asked only a tent and a bunk18 and enough to eat, and she could do without even those if occasion arose. She saw the best of everything, not with the exasperating19 optimism which insists upon smiling idiotically on the pleasant and the distinctly disagreeable alike, and upon being aggressively delighted over the most annoying mishaps20, but with a quiet, common-sense intention of making the objectionable no more so for her own part. There were wives who made their husbands' quarters more dainty and attractive, if not more neat; but in the struggle—for it was necessarily a struggle—lost much peace of mind and real comfort. Upon the whole, Landor was very well satisfied, and Felipa was entirely21 so. She was utterly22 indifferent to being set down at a three-company post, where her only companion was to be a woman she disliked from the first, openly and without policy, as was her way.
The woman called early in the blazing afternoon, appearing clad in silks, waving a gorgeous fan of[Pg 63] plumes23, and sinking languidly into a chair. Felipa sat bolt upright on a camp-stool, and before the close of an hour they were at daggers24' points. The commandant's wife used cheap French phrases in every other breath, and Felipa retaliated25 in the end by a long, glib26 sentence, which was not understood. She seemed absolutely dense27 and unsmiling about it, but Landor was used to the mask of stolidity28. He got up and went to the window to arrange the gray blanket, and hide a smile that came, even though he was perfectly29 aware of the unwisdom of making an enemy of the C. O.'s wife.
From thenceforth the elegant creature troubled Felipa as little as the nature of things would permit. She said that Mrs. Landor was une sauvage and so brune; and Mrs. Landor said she was a fool and dyed her hair. She was not given to mincing30 words. And she had small patience with a woman who lay in bed until the sun was high, and who spent her days lounging under the ramada, displaying tiny, satin-shod feet for the benefit of the enlisted31 men and the Indians who wandered over from the reservation.
She herself was up before dawn, riding over the hills with her husband, watching the sun rise above the blue mountains on the far-away horizon, and strike with lights of gold and rose the sands and the clumps32 of sage, visiting the herd33 where it struggled to graze, under well-armed guard, and gathering34 the pitiful wild flowers from the baked, lifeless soil. She shot quail35 and owls36, and dressed their skins. She could endure[Pg 64] any amount of fatigue37, and she could endure quite as well long stretches of idleness.
Having no children of her own, she took for protégé a small White Mountain, son of a buck38 who hung about the post most of the time, bought him candy and peanuts at the sutler's store, taught him English, and gathered snatches of his tribe's tongue in return.
Landor humored her, but did not quite approve. "If you begin that, every papoose at the Agency will be brought down to us," he suggested; and once when he had grown a little tired of having the noiseless, naked little savage39 forever round, he offered him a piece of canned lobster40. Whereupon the boy fled wildly, and would not be coaxed41 back for many days. Felipa seemed really to miss him, so Landor never teased him after that, making only the reasonable request that the youngster be not allowed to scratch his head near him.
Another of her pets was a little fawn42 a soldier had caught and given to her. It followed her tamely about the post.
One morning, shortly before dinner call, she sat under the ramada, the deer at her feet, asleep, the little Apache squatted43 beside her, amusing himself with a collection of gorgeous pictorial44 labels, soaked from commissary fruit and vegetable cans. The camp was absolutely silent, even the drowsy45 scraping of the brooms of the police party having stopped some time before. Landor was asleep in his tent, and presently she herself began to doze46. She was awakened47 by the sound of footsteps on the gravel48 in front of the[Pg 65] ramada, and in another moment a tall figure stood in the opening, dark against the glare. Instantly she knew it was the man with whom she had come face to face long before on the parade ground at Grant, though from then until now she had not thought of him once, nor remembered his existence.
She rose to her feet, standing49 slender and erect50, the roused fawn on one side and the naked savage on the other. And they faced each other, disconcerted, caught mute in the reverberation51, indefinite, quivering, of a chord which had been struck somewhere in the depths of that Nature to which we are willing enough to grant the power of causing the string of an instrument to pulse to the singing of its own note, but whose laws of sympathetic vibration52 we would fain deny beyond material things.
The man understood, and was dismayed. It is appalling53 to feel one's self snatched from the shifting foothold of individuality and whirled on in the current of the Force of Things. Felipa did not understand. And she was annoyed. She crashed in with the discord54 of a deliberate commonplace, and asked what she could do for him, speaking as to an inferior; and he, with a stiff resentment55, answered that he wished to see Captain Landor.
She did not return to the ramada, but before long her husband came in search of her.
"That man is going to stay to luncheon56," he told her.
She echoed "To luncheon!" in amazement57. "But, Jack58, he was a soldier, wasn't he?"
[Pg 66]
"He was, but he isn't. I sent for him about some business, and he is a very decent sort of a fellow. He has a little ranch14 on the reservation."
"A squaw-man?" she asked.
"I dare say," he answered carelessly. "Come and meet him. You'll like him."
She went, with none too good a grace.
Cairness said to himself that she was regal, and acknowledged her most formal welcome with an ease he had fancied among the arts he had long since lost.
"I have seen you before, Mrs. Landor," he said after a while.
"Yes?" she answered, and stroked the head of the fawn.
"Yes," he persisted, refusing to be thwarted59, "once when you were crossing the parade at Grant, at retreat, and two days afterward60 when you shot a blue jay down by the creek61."
She could not help looking at him now, and his eyes held hers through a silence that seemed to them so enduring, so unreasonable62, that Landor must wonder at it. But he had seen men put at a disadvantage by her beauty before, and he had grown too used to her lack of conventionality to think much about it, one way or the other.
"Can't we send the hostile away?" he suggested, glancing at the small Apache, who was digging viciously at his head and watching Cairness with beady orbs63. Felipa spoke64 to him, and he went.
"Do you like his kind?" the Englishman asked curiously65.
[Pg 67]
"They have their good points," she answered, exactly as he himself had answered Brewster's baiting long ago. Then she fastened her gaze on the roof of the ramada.
It was evident that she had no intention of making herself agreeable. Landor had learned the inadvisability and the futility66 of trying to change her moods. She was as unaffected about them as a child. So he took up the conversation he and Cairness had left off, concerning the Indian situation, always a reliable topic. It was bad that year and had been growing steadily67 worse, since the trouble at the time of his marriage, when Arizona politicians had, for reasons related to their own pockets, brought about the moving of the White Mountain band to the San Carlos Agency. The White Mountains had been peaceable for years, and, if not friendly to the government, at least too wise to oppose it. They had cultivated land and were living on it inoffensively. But they were trading across the territorial68 line into New Mexico, and that lost money to Arizona. So they were persuaded by such gentle methods as the burning of their Agency buildings and the destruction of their property, to move down to San Carlos. The climate there was of a sort fatal to the mountain Apaches,—the thing had been tried before with all the result that could be desired, in the way of fevers, ague, and blindness,—and also the White Mountains were hereditary69 enemies of the San Carlos tribes. But a government with a policy, three thousand miles away, did not know these things, nor yet seek to know them. Government is like the gods, upon occasions: it[Pg 68] first makes mad, then destroys. And if it is given time enough, it can be very thorough in both.
In the period of madness, more or less enduring, of the victim of the Great Powers' policy, somebody who is innocent usually suffers. Sometimes the Powers know it, oftener they do not. Either way it does not worry them. They set about doing their best to destroy, and that is their whole duty.
Not having had enough of driving to madness in '75 and '76, they tried it again three years later. They were dealing70 this time with other material, not the friendly and the cowed, but with savages71 as cruel and fierce and unscrupulous as those of the days of Coronado. Victorio, Juh, and Geronimo were already a little known, but now they were to have their names shrieked72 to the unhearing heavens in the agony of the tortured and the dying.
The Powers said that a party of Indians had killed two American citizens, and had thereby73 offended against their sacred laws. To be sure the Americans had sold the Indians poisonous whiskey, so they had broken the laws, too. But there is, as any one should be able to see, a difference between a law-breaking Chiricahua and a law-breaking territorial politician. Cairness refused to see it. He said things that would have been seditious, if he had been of any importance in the scheme of things. As it was, the Great Powers did not heed74 them, preferring to take advice from men who did not know an Apache from a Sioux—or either from the creation of the shilling shocker.
[Pg 69]
"I am not wasting any sympathy on the Apaches, nor on the Indians as a whole. They have got to perish. It is in the law of advancement75 that they should. But where is the use in making the process painful? Leave them alone, and they'll die out. It isn't three hundred years since one of the biggest continents of the globe was peopled with them, and now there is the merest handful left, less as a result of war and slaughter77 than of natural causes. Nature would see to it that they died, if we didn't."
"The philanthropist doesn't look at it that way. He thinks that we should strive to preserve the species."
"I don't," Cairness differed; "it's unreasonable. There is too much sympathy expended78 on races that are undergoing the process of extinction79. They have outgrown80 their usefulness, if they ever had any. It might do to keep a few in a park in the interests of science, and of that class of people which enjoys seeing animals in cages. But as for making citizens of the Indians, raising them to our level—it can't be done. Even when they mix races, the red strain corrupts81 the white."
Landor glanced at his wife. She seemed to take it without offence, and was listening intently.
"It's the old saying about a dog walking on its hind82 legs, when you come to civilizing83 the Indian. You are surprised that he civilizes84 at all, but he doesn't do it well, for all that. He can be galvanized into a temporary semblance85 of national life, but he is dead at the core, and he will decay before long."
[Pg 70]
"They could kill a good many of us before they died out, if we would sit still and take it," Landor objected.
"It's six one, and half a dozen the other. They'd be willing enough to die out in peace, if we'd let them. Even they have come to have a vague sort of instinct that that's what it amounts to."
Landor interrupted by taking the slipper86 from Felipa's foot and killing87 with it a centipede that crawled up the wall of the abode88. "That's the second," he said, as he put the shoe on again. "I killed one yesterday; the third will come to-morrow." Then he went back to his chair and to the discussion, and before long he was called to the adjutant's office.
Felipa forgot her contempt for Cairness. She was interested and suddenly aroused herself to show it. "How do you come to be living with the Indians?" she asked. It was rarely her way to arrive at a question indirectly89. "Have you married a squaw?"
He flushed angrily, then thought better of it, because after all the question was not impertinent. So he only answered with short severity that he most certainly had not.
Felipa could not help the light of relief that came on her face, but realizing it, she was confused.
He helped her out. "I have drifted in a way," he went on to explain. "I left home when I was a mere76 boy, and the spirit of savagery90 and unrest laid hold of me. I can't break away. And I'm not even sure that I want to. You, I dare say, can't understand." Yet he felt so sure, for some reason, that she could that he[Pg 71] merely nodded his head when she said briefly91, "I can." "Then, too," he went on, "there is something in the Indian character that strikes a responsive chord in me. I come of lawless stock myself. I was born in Sidney." Then he stopped short. What business was it of hers where he had been born? He had never seen fit to speak of it before. Nevertheless he intended that she should understand now. So he made it quite plain. "Sidney was a convict settlement, you know," he said deliberately, "and marriages were promiscuous92. My grandfather was an officer who was best away from England. My grandmother poisoned her first husband. That is on my mother's side. On my father's side it was about as mixed." He leaned back, crossing his booted legs and running his fingers into his cartridge93 belt. His manner asked with a certain defiance94, what she was going to do about it, or to think.
And what she did was to say, with a deliberation equal to his own, that her mother had been a half-breed Mescalero and her father a private.
He looked at her steadily, in silence. It did not seem that there was anything to say. He would have liked to tell her how beautiful she was. But he did not do it. Instead, he did much worse. For he took a beaded and fringed leather case from his pocket and held out to her the drawing he had made of her four years before. She gave it back without a word, and bent95 to play with the buckskin collar on the neck of the fawn.
Cairness put the sketch96 back in the case and stood[Pg 72] up. "Will you tell Captain Landor that I found that I could not wait, after all?" he said, and bowing went out from the ramada.
She sat staring at the white glare of the opening, and listening to his foot-falls upon the sand.
