He addressed the widow as his friend, and she directed him to sit down beside her daughter, and they were regarded as man and wife. Early on the following morning, he asked for the bow and arrows of those who had been slain by the wicked manito, and went out a-hunting.
At length Pauppukkeewis threw the manito to the ground with such force that he lay senseless, and the warriors, carrying him off, laid him with the bodies of his sons, and set fire to the whole, consuming them to ashes. Around the lodge Pauppukkeewis and his friends saw a large number of bones, the remains of the warriors whom the manitoes had slain.
It was evident Manabozho had never been in love, for then he would not have thrown away his advice. He stayed not for a reply, but with a gesture of disdain disappeared. Wampum-hair sought his wigwam, melancholy but not discouraged. It was, indeed, impossible to follow the counsel of the friendly Manito.
These being, however, greatly allayed, and soon after cured by his grandmother's skill in medicines, Manabozho, as big and sturdy as ever, was ripe for new adventures. He set his thoughts immediately upon a war excursion against the Pearl Feather, a wicked old manito, living on the other side of the great lake, who had killed his grandfather.
The old man, setting meat before them, said: 'Eat! who is a manito? there is no manito but me; there is none whom I fear; and the earth trembled as the monster advanced. The old man opened the door and saw him coming.
What follows, may teach him, my mother, to show pity on the vanquished, and not to trample on the widow and those who are without fathers." When the day of the visit of the manito arrived, Monedowa told his wife to prepare certain pieces of meat, which he pointed out to her, together with two or three buds of the birch-tree, which he requested her to put in the pot.
"Where did you get these?" asked the Manito, "and who brought them?" "My father brought them," the boy replied. The old magician was quite distressed in his mind that he had not destroyed his son-in-law. He entered his lodge in silence, and set his wits busily at work again to contrive some plan for easing his feelings in that respect.
You are a good man, and Manito smiles upon the kind heart," returned Arnold quietly. Thoroughly worn out with the events of the previous day as well as the exciting incidents of the night, the two friends were glad to be at liberty to return to their tent and stretch their tired limbs upon the robes that had been provided for them.
Cousin's sister smiled grimly, and whispered: "He has been watching us. He saw me come here when I scratched the tree. He has been hiding The marks I made on the honey-tree Look behind it the pea-vines . Tell Shelby I send him a little sister " And she had solved all her problems, and had passed into the compassion of the manito whose gentleness and understanding surpass all comprehension.
Lost Sister gave me a quick glance as she came up. She gazed at Patricia in silence for a moment, then warned: "The white woman must keep close to her manito. The eyes of the eagle and the ears of the fox are in this village." "She is having bad thoughts," I told her. "Lead her thoughts through new paths."
