about midnight
After supper Billy corralled her in a corner , she seeming willing , and stuck to her until her brother took her home nigh daylight . Jack got us boys pardners for every dance . He proved himself clean strain that night , the whitest little Injun on the reservation . We knocked off dancing about midnight and had supper , -- good coffee with no end of way-up fine chuck . We ate as we danced , heartily . Supper over , the dance went on full blast . About two o'clock in the morning , the wire edge was well worn off the revelers , and they showed signs of weariness .
