The General asked Robert if he wished to go back with Bald Eagle. Robert put his arms around Nina and said, "No!" Bald Eagle looked very sorrowful, but the General wouldn't let him have the children; so he had to go away home, to his old squaw, without 'em. Winged Arrow found kind friends who gave him some work to do, and he and Robert and Nina lived together very happily.
