Not a single shaman or policeman had been left to keep it. These people are so happily rich as to have but little of a perishable kind to keep, nothing worth fretting about. They were away catching salmon, our Indians said.

Did the Tatar believe that he lost face this way? But the shaman gave a grunt of what they took as assent and slipped over the edge of the lookout point. A moment later they heard him speaking the Mongol tongue, warning Hulagur and Lotchu, his companions on the scout. Then came the clatter of pony hoofs as they rode their mounts away.

I heard the grating of a dagger in its sheath and the distant baying of the death-hounds." "And what have you seen, Shaman?" she asked again, "looking through the Gate you guard?" "Strange sight, Khania, my niece. But men awake from swoons." "Aye," she answered, "so while this one sleeps, bear him to another chamber, for he needs change, and the lord yonder needs more space and untainted air."

He was privately most uneasy at the Nigger dog's tactless move, and he hurried on about how Brother Paul caught the Shamán, and about the Penitential Journey told how, long before that, early in the Fall, Nicholas had got lost, making the portage from St.

Then the Khania, who all this time had stood cold and impassive, stepped forward to speak, and with her her uncle, the Shaman Simbri.

"Atene, be plain, what will you with the man called Leo that he should become your lover?" asked the Shaman. She stared him straight in the eyes, and answered boldly "Nay, I will that he should become my husband." "First he must will it too, who seems to have no mind that way. Also, how can a woman have two husbands?" She laid her hand upon his shoulder and said "I have no husband.

"'Why do you come to the god-house with baskets, like laborers of the fields? he demanded. "'For the price of our labor, O Cacique, said the Shaman. 'The gods are not so poor that they accept labor for nothing. "'Now, it is come into my heart, said the Cacique sourly, 'that the gods are not always pleased to be served by strangers. There are signs that this is so.

The term Shaman, a Pali word, was originally a pure Buddhist term meaning one who has separated from his family and his passions. One of the designations of the Buddha was Shamana-Gautama. The same word, Shamon, in Japanese still means a bonze, or Buddhist priest.

When he could endure the temptation no longer his two black claws shot out, but Nicholas intercepted the much-envied object, while, as it seemed, he drove a more advantageous bargain.

Surrounding Atene, they led her from the Sanctuary, accompanied by her uncle the Shaman, who, as it seemed to me, either through fatigue or fear, could scarcely stand upon his feet, but stood blinking his dim eyes as though the light dazed him.
