"Red man, Mohican," said the Tuscarora; "good; pale-faces, Yengeese." "These are heavenly tidings," murmured Mabel, who little relished the prospect of a deadly fray in that remote wilderness. "Let us approach at once, dear uncle, and proclaim ourselves friends." "Good," said the Tuscarora "red man cool, and know; pale-face hurried, and fire. Let the squaw go."
"Good friend. Go. Got Nez Percé eye now; want pale-face eye." "Ugh!" exclaimed Long Bear; "what Na-tee-kah say?" The question was put to her, but it was hardly needful, after she found that Two Arrows was to go. She was willing to learn anything he did, and she was not even daunted by quick mental vision of a white lady with her bonnet on.
The braves, with your brother O-pe-chan-ca-nough, have taken the pale-face chief in the Chickahominy swamps and are bringing him to the council-house." "Great man" or "strong one," a title by which Wa-bun-so-na-cook, or Powhatan, was frequently addressed. "Wa," said the old chief, "it is well, we will be ready for him." At once Ra-bun-ta was surrounded and plied with questions.
"Can any of you speak English?" inquired Charles. "Me speak," replied an elderly man. Charles explained that he wanted to find a white young man who had been in Indiana and Michigan searching for his mother. "Him pale-face," rejoined the interpreter, pointing to the youth, whose brown eyes glanced from one to the other with a perplexed expression.
I am too Christianized to expect any thing so fanciful as hunting and fishing after death, nor do I believe there is one Manitou for the red-skin and another for a pale-face. You find different colours on 'arth, as any one may see, but you don't find different natur's. Different gifts, but only one natur'." "In what is a gift different from a nature? Is not nature itself a gift from God?"
But, instead of manifesting an intention to contend with the successful marksman, he stood leaning on his rifle for more than a minute, like a man who was completely buried in thought. From this reverie he was, however, awakened by one of the young Indians who had furnished the arms, and who now touched his shoulder, saying, in exceedingly broken English, "Can the pale-face beat it?"
You've passed the middle age already, and, considerin' the sort of lives ye lead, your days have been pretty well filled. The principal thing now, is to look forward to what comes next. Neither red-skin nor pale-face, on the whole, calculates much on sleepin' forever; but both expect to live in another world.
"Now," said Cameron, while Dick Varley and Crusoe stepped up beside him, "my young warrior will search for the Pale-face prisoners. If they are found, we will take them and go away. If they are not found, we will ask the Peigans to forgive us, and will give them gifts.
"The huntress has returned soon?" said the chief, interrogatively, as the girl glided up to him. "She brings strange game!" added he, with a smile. "Who is the young warrior with the white circle upon his breast? He is a pale-face. It is not the custom of our white brothers to adorn themselves in such fashion?" "The painting is not his," replied the girl.
One might fancy that such is her intention; and that the pouch is designed as a gage d'amour; but the word "dollar," which accompanies the offer, precludes the possibility of such a supposition. It is not thus that an Indian girl makes love. She is simply soliciting the pale-face to purchase. In this design she is almost certain to be successful.
