I never understood half she told me about the long trail. I don't believe I could ever find my way." "Don't go!" said his companion, pleadingly. "The sun will shine no more on A-lee-lah's path." He smiled and was silent for a few minutes, while he twined some of the scarlet seeds on grasses round her wrist. He revealed the tenor of his musings by saying, "A-lee-lah, I wish I could see my mother.
Then he became grave again, and told how he was twining the red seeds in A-lee-lah's hair, when his mother came and looked at him with great blue eyes and smiled. Most of his auditors thought he was telling a dream. But Mr. Wharton said to his oldest son, "I told you, Charles, that mother and son were not separated now."
"Me like very much," was the reply. "Me glad find father, brother. All good." He paused a moment, and then added, "A-lee-lah's father, mother be dead. A-lee-lah alone. A-lee-lah did say not go. Me promise come back soon." Mr. Wharton was silent. He was thinking what it was best to say. After waiting a little, William said, "Father, me not remember what is English for squaw."

Mr. Wharton says her busy little mind makes him think of his Willie, at her age; and Uncle Charles says he has no fault to find with her, for she has her mother's beautiful eyes, and wears her hair "like folks."
William seemed perplexed by this remark; but he comprehended in part, and said, "Me see into Spirit-Land." When asked why he had not started in search of his mother then, he replied, "A-lee-lah's father, mother die. A-lee-lah say not go. Miles big many. Me not know the trail. But Indians go hunt fur. Me go. Me sleep. Me dream mother come, say go home. Me ask where mother? Charles come.
