`` She ai n't married , '' Mike told me . `` She 's the chief 's daughter , and she looks better to me than a silver mine . '' Durin ' that evening we give the impression that we was well heeled , so the tribe was n't in no hurry to break camp on the following morning . Along about noon I missed Mike , and I took a stroll to look for him . I found him -- and the chief 's daughter -- alongside of a shady trout pool . She was weavin ' a horsehair bracelet onto his wrist , and I seen the flash of his ring on her finger . Mike could travel some .
