The Indian heard him through, without moving a muscle of his seemingly blank features, and then answered, a little haughtily: "Kitchokema plans all, and gives his red brother all the danger; but Peshewa is brave, and fears not." "And do you think it's through fear?" asked Girty, angrily. "Peshewa makes no charges against his brother," answered Wild-cat, quietly.
"Ugh!" returned Wild-cat, giving a gutteral grunt of satisfaction, although not a muscle of his rigid features moved, and, save a peculiar gleam of his dark eye, nothing to show that he felt uncommon interest in the sentence of Younker: "Peshewa a chief! The Great Spirit give him memory the Great Spirit give him invention.
However, we are safe for to-night, at all events; for if they reach the river, as I said before, they won't be able to cross, unless they make a raft or swim it; and you may rest assured, Peshewa, they will sleep on the other side, if for nothing else than their own safety." "What, therefore, does my brother propose?" asked Wild-cat.
My design, I say, was to spare their lives and send them back, whenever it could be done with safety, provided they showed any signs of contrition. Did they? No! they again upbraided me to my face. I was again cursed. My blood is hot my nature revengeful. That moment sealed their doom. I gave them up to Peshewa. They are no longer my prisoners. For their lives you must plead with him.
"You and your band are here safe, I perceive; and by ! you have timed it well, too, for we have only headed you by half an hour." "Ugh!" grunted Wild-cat, with that look and gutteral sound peculiar to the Indian. "Kitchokema has learned Peshewa is here!" "Come! come!" answered the renegade, in a somewhat nettled manner; "no insinuations! I saw Peshewa when he arrived."
Ascending this himself, to note if any signs of an enemy were visible, Peshewa had discovered the light of Boone's fire, and traced it to its source. Without venturing near enough to expose himself, the wily savage had, nevertheless, gone sufficiently close to ascertain they were the foes of his race.
"Are on the trail," concluded Wild-cat, briefly. "Ha!" exclaimed the renegade, with a start, involuntarily placing his hand upon the breech of a pistol in his girdle. "But are you sure, Peshewa?" "Peshewa speaks only what he knows," returned the chief, quietly. "Speak out, then how do you know?" rejoined Girty, in an excited tone.
