A great pity for him seized me; and I seated myself on the moss beside him, staring into his pallid face. And as I sat beside him while he was dying, he opened his eyes, and looked at me. And I knew that he knew I had killed him. After a few moments he died. "Amochol!" I said under my breath. "God alone knows why I am sorry for this dead priest."
I and my Indians believe that she has bought her life of Amochol by dreaming for them. And if this be true, and she has indeed become their Prophetess and Interpreter of Dreams, then this night she will be surely here to read their dreams for them." "Will we see her before you begin the attack?" "Little Lois, how can I tell you such things?
And the ghastly sign of Leshi ended it. "But what does it all signify?" she asked, bewildered. And even as she spoke, out of the dull and menacing horror of the symbols, into my mind, leaped terrible comprehension. I said coolly: "It must have been Amochol and his Erie sorcerers! How came you in Catharines-town?" "I? In Catharines-town!" she faltered. "Was I, then, ever there?"
With what, then, shall they be clothed, O Woman of the Night Sky? Explain to my people this dream that I have dreamed." The slim, white-cowled figure answered slowly, with bowed head, brooding motionless in the shadow of her hair: "Two dogs lie yonder for Atensi and her grandson. Let them be painted with the sun and moon. So shall the dream of Amochol come true!"
And first he cautioned both Lana and Lois to keep secret whatever was to be said between us two, then, nodding gaily at me: "You were quite right, Loskiel, in speaking to the General about the proper trap for this Wizard-Sachem Amochol, who is inflaming the entire Seneca nation to such a fury." "I know no other way to take and destroy him," said I. "There is no other way.
But I contrived to maintain my composure, and I said: 'What do you make of it, O Sagamore? And he spat out a word I did not clearly understand " "Amochol?" "Yes it sounded like that. What did he mean, Euan?" "I will presently ask him," said I, thoroughly alarmed. "And in the meanwhile, you must now be persuaded to remain at this post. You are contented and happy here.
"Hereckenes!" cried Amochol in a clear voice; and at the sound of their ancient name the Cat-People began a miauling chant. "Antauhonorans!" cried Amochol. Every Seneca took up the chant, and the drums timed it softly and steadily. "Prophetess!" said Amochol in a ringing voice. "I have dreamed that the Moon Witch and her grandson Iuskeha shall be clothed.
That is their law, which even Amochol could not break." "It was a mercy that our little Lois appealed not to His Excellency, so that the word ran through Canada by flag to Haldimand." "She might have done this," said the Sagamore quietly. "She asked me at Poundridge how this might be accomplished. But when I made it clear to her that it meant her mother's death, she said no more about it."
And Amochol what in God's name did the Red Sorcerer know of us, or of our history? Even the horrid threat against Lois seemed so fantastic, so unreal, so meaningless, that at the moment, it did not impress me even with its unspeakable wickedness. The Sagamore touched my arm as though with awe and pity, and I lifted my head. "Is this true, brother?" he asked gently.
Four is the limit and four of Mr. Loskiel's Indians." He sat still, gnawing at his lip for a moment, then: "I am sorry that, through no fault apparently of your own, this Sorcerer, Amochol, escaped. But, gentlemen, the service recognizes only success.
