interesting to say now here we go again with pock the comic weekly and on the last page of the first section Dick's adventures and that's right and they met some friendly Indians and set up a camp where they expected to spend the winter because there was so much snow and so much cold that it was impossible to travel yes and to find out the reason for their unfriendliness Lewis and Clark have asked the Indian chief led by LeBorn the one-eyed one to come to a console and now we'll find out right now here we go with Dick's adventures say the magic words with me rickety-packer zack-a-zack let's have music for adventurous dick the one-eyed Indian chief LeBorn faces Lewis and Clark and says angrily you have come up to Missouri to open the way for white men's bullets dick protests no no

and yet she cries behold LeBorn these are my brothers Park and LeBorn these men are my friends and dick here's a mysterious click on his wrist and then the woman quickly bears his arm and says see the sacred tokens they wear given to them by my tribe in silence LeBorn looks at the bracelets the Indian made had secretly slipped on dick and Lewis and Clark's wrists dick wonders will the trick work and then LeBorn nods his head he beckons to his tribe and they go away in peace last picture alone at last Lewis and Clark and dick stare and bewilderment who is this woman it was wonderful that she came at the last minute yes it was wonderful because she saved them those trappers were mean men telling lies like that to make the Indians hate the Americans yes they were and I'll bet you'd like to know why why well the trappers don't want the Americans to be friends with the Indians because you see the trappers would buy skins from the Indians besides trapping furs themselves you see and they would buy these skins which are expensive furs from the Indians for just a few beads and these beads would only cost a few cents and then they would sell these skins for a lot of money to people in the city's back east well I bet it was and you see that's why they don't want honest men like dick and Lewis and Clark around you see because they might tell the Indians of furs are worth more money well maybe next week we'll find out who the Indian made is now let's look underneath here's rusty Riley yes and this is the man who's pretending to be friendly to mr.
