When she had ended, he raised a finger, looked still more significantly at her, and said: "Why don't go back, get all dem good t'ings? Better for pale-face to eat pale-face food, and leave Injin Injin food." "For my part, Pigeonswing, I wish such had ever been the law.
Nick's examination of the body was neither hurried nor agitated. When it was over, he turned calmly to consider the daughters of the deceased. "Why you cry why you 'fear'd," he said, approaching Beulah, and placing his swarthy hand on the head of her sleeping infant. "Good squaw good pappoose. Wyandotté take care 'em in woods. Bye'm-by go to pale-face town, and sleep quiet."
I shall do nothing of the sort No, don't say that; say that English gentlemen I mean pale-face medicine-men from over the seas, never undress in the presence of ladies; their religion forbids it." Gondocori was about to remonstrate again when the queen interposed and insisted on knowing what I said.
Another, and yet another hostelry was builded on the site, but they likewise were destroyed by fire. Then the enterprise was abandoned, for it was remembered that an Indian once mounted this grave, waved a torch from its top, and cried in a loud voice, "No pale-face shall take root on this spot. This has the Great Spirit whispered in my ear."
Eye met eye in surprise and admiration; then one of the older chiefs yielded to his interest in the subject, and inquired: "Have our young men taken many pale-face scalps?"

"No one fought.
"We have had a pale-face medicine-man among us, Onoah," continued Crowsfeather, "and he has so far blinded us that we know not what to think." The chief then recounted the leading events of the visit of the bee- hunter to the place, stating each occurrence fairly, as he understood it, and as fairly confessing that even the chiefs were at a loss to know what to make of the affair.
"Pale-face must first see him, or how paint him? Where painter?" "Ay, the surveyor saw the tree once, and marked it once, but that is not finding it again. Can you tell me where the oak stands? Mr. Littlepage will give the man who finds that corner a French crown. Put me anywhere on the line of the old survey, and I will ask favours of no one."
There was no apparent distrust in the manner of either, the Indian moving in advance, as if he wished to show his companion that he did not fear turning his back to him. As they reached the open ground, the former pointed towards Deerslayer's boat, and said emphatically "No mine pale-face canoe. This red man's. No want other man's canoe want his own."
They had hardly ridden an hour when the foremost warriors made the air ring with whoops of wrath, and in a moment more the word "pale-face" was passing from rider to rider. They had found the victim of Sile's marksmanship, and the fact that he had not been scalped put away the idea that he had fallen before a Nez Percé.
When the Logans and he had played Buffalo Bill and the Red Indians attacking the defenceless pale-face woman, he had had a fierce argument with Willie Logan about the part of Buffalo Bill. Willie, being older, had claimed the part for himself, and, when denied the right to it, had declared that neither Aggie nor he would play in the game.
