A sentry, in discharge of his duty, had warned them one evening away from the rear gate of a bachelor den, along Officer's Row, and had been told to go to Shiol, or words to that effect.
They had more business there than he had, said they, and under the potent sway of inspiring bold John Barleycorn, had not even abated their position when the officer of the day happened along.
They virtually damned and defied him too.
The officer of the day reported to the commanding officer, and that officer called on Mrs.
Hay to tell her he should order the culprits off the reservation if they were not better behaved.
Mrs.
Hay, so said the servant, was feeling far from well and had to ask to be excused, when who should appear but that ministering angel Mrs.
Dade herself.
And Mrs.
Dade undertook to tell Mrs.
Hay of the misconduct of the men, even when assuring Major Flint she feared it was a matter in which Mrs.
Hay was powerless.
They were afraid of Hay, but not of her.
Hearing of Mrs.
Hay's illness, Mrs.
Dade and other women had come to visit and console her, but there were very few whom she would now consent to see.
Even though confident no bodily harm would befall her husband or her niece, Mrs.
Hay was evidently sore disturbed about something.
Failing to see her, Major Flint sent for the bartender and clerk, and bade them say where these truculent, semi savage bacchanals got their whiskey, and both men promptly and confidently declared it wasn't at the store.
Neither of them would give or sell to either half breed a drop, and old Wilkins stood sponsor for the integrity of the affiants, both of whom he had known for years, and both of whom intimated that the two specimens had no need to be begging, buying, or stealing whiskey, when Bill Hay's private seller held more than enough to fill the whole Sioux nation.
