Un germe est pose, renfermant en puissance tout ce que l'etre sera un jour; le germe se developpe, les formes se constituent dans leurs proportions regulieres, ce qui etait en puissance devient en acte; mais rien ne se cree, rien ne s'ajoute: telle est la loi commune des etres soumis aux conditions de la vie.
At the farther edge of the clearing the Cree brought his dogs to a halt close to a large log-built cabin half sheltered among the trees. It was situated several hundred yards from the nearest of the lights ahead, and the unbroken snow about it showed that it had not been used as a habitation for some time.
But the white settlers' cattle must be protected, and orders were orders a soldier must obey his superior officer. So, at daybreak, the fastest horse in the service was saddled, and Corporal Manan was hard on the trail of the young Cree thief. But Little Wolf-Willow knew nothing of all this. Far away up the northern plains a terrible bit of news had come to him.
On the island our Cree half-breeds enjoyed the first evening's camp by playing the universal button-hiding game called Pugasawin, and which is always accompanied by a monotonous chant and the tom-tom, anything serving for that hideous instrument if a drum is not at hand. They are all inveterate gamblers in that country, and lose or win with equal indifference.
They were ready in a few minutes. At the sight of Charley's bundle with the others, Hooliam scowled and muttered in Cree. "Says he can't take me," said Charley. Garth flushed angrily. "This was all it needed," he burst out. "What reason does he give?" "No reason," said Charley coolly. "Just talks foolish." Hooliam added something with a great show of plausibility.
"Oh, I have no idea they will try any funny business; they know we are armed, and besides they have their orders from the head boss. You'll find that they only mean to tag after us, keeping on our heels until sure we mean to go to the post. These chaps possibly saw that smoke signal the other Cree we met downstream sent up, and they knew Owen was somewhere around.
My reason for thinking that this region was farther north than Minnesota is the size of the Cree winter camp; but I have refrained from trying to localize this part of the trip, except to say it was west and north of Duluth. Some writers recognize in the description parts of Minnesota, others the hinterland between Lake Superior and James Bay.
"No, he stopped in his house," replied the woman, rousing herself for a moment to the conversational point, but relapsing immediately. The man spoke in patois French, the woman in her native Cree language.
"When you showed up in Woodstock, you had a friend." "Amber," Willow said. "Wasn't she from the Bay Area?" "Yep she's in Vancouver, Washington, now. She's a pediatrician. She married a developer with pots of money. They have two spoiled kids." "She was gorgeous," Cree said. "She's hanging in there," Willow said. "A line of men was following her around in the mall the last time I saw her." "Men."
And the young Indian turned away, too much absorbed in his own feelings to take any further notice of Henrich and Oriana, who, both surprised and affected at his words and manner, followed him silently. Several other Indians of the Cree tribe now made their appearance among the trees, and hastened towards the travelers.
