Chief Fire Eye's Game (1911)
Gerald wasn't a bad sort, by any means. He was a big, handsome fellow and liked by everyone. There wasn't a cowpuncher for miles around who would not go through fire and water for him: but whenever Gerald had any fire-water in him, he would do as he pleased, and allow no one to help him. At such a time, he was gambling with a couple of greasers, and they were raking in pot after pot, and Gerald's load of "peaches" was getting heavier and heavier. Nor would he stop at the behest of friends and the game went on. An old Indian Chief had become an interested spectator of the game as it progressed. His eyes glistened instinctively with the gambler's spirit. With ever increasing fascination he bent over Gerald's chair, watching the cards as they were played or dealt. In no pleasant mood, Gerald roughly pushed him aside. The chief took no umbrage at this, but on the contrary appealed to the man, thus delivering himself: "Me big chief, learn how play, you teach me?" But he only met with a rebuff and a blow, and when be unconsciously drew back in an attitude which bespoke resentment, a dozen guns were leveled at him and his companion. But Gerald interfered at this, and the bartender ejected the big chief. The latter laid his savage plans. Shortly after, Gerald was cleaned out of all his cash: all the others in the saloon had departed, leaving him "alone in his glory," and so it came about that he flung himself on a couch near the window and was soon snoring in a profound slumber. Back came the Indians, the chief with several others, and Gerald was kidnapped. The discovery was soon made, and the cowboys being informed, dashed madly away in pursuit. The trail led them to the Indian camp and one of the boys climbed a tree. He saw them wildly dancing about their victim with fiendish gesticulations But, what's this? The line of redskins opens, and there sits Gerald, on a blanket with the big chief, teaching him bow to play cards.
