They were not Mohawk, not Cayuga, nor Onondaga. Nor did they seem to me like Seneca, being not oiled and braided clean, but tagged at the root with the claws of a tree-lynx.

"A good guess," she said; "a cock-partridge has dusted here; see those bits of down?
And always, when we arrive in camp, a Seminole fire is burning under a kettle and before it sits my Little Tiger wearing a new turban and blinking through the smoke haze like a tree-lynx lost in thought." "Do you mean that this aboriginal admirer of yours has already come out of the Everglades to meet you at your camp?" "Surely he is there, waiting at this moment," she said.
