It was strange indeed that he should come to the camp of the lads, at the very time they were in need of such information as he could give. While Jack identified the visitor as that personage, Deerfoot recognized him even sooner as Hay-uta, the Man-who-Runs-without-Falling. It was he who, while on a hunt for scalps, came upon the young Shawanoe and engaged him in a hand-to-hand encounter.
The answer of the Sauk was indefinite, but the youth could wait a few minutes for the information he sought. "Hay-uta, the Man-Who-Runs-Without-Falling, has not taken the scalp of Deerfoot, and cannot do so!" The flash of the eye which accompanied these words added to their force.
Before they could receive reply the youth added: "Hay-uta is a brave man when he talks to squaws; less than twenty great suns have passed over the head of Deerfoot, but he is not afraid of the Man-Who-Runs-Without-Falling." Indian nature is quick to resent such taunts, and beyond a doubt the hot blood flushed the skin beneath the paint.
