Skipping the mouth, he continued the streak from the lower lip down the chin, under which it melted into a tender half-tint made by a smudge of yellow ochre and charcoal. This vigorous touch seemed to rouse the painter's spirit in Petawanaquat, for he pushed the boy out at arm's length, drew himself back, frowned, glared, and breathed hard.
Had He not taken the guilt of man on Himself in the person of Jesus, in order that, without injustice, He might be the justifier of sinners? Injustice is wrong, reiterated conscience again and again; but revenge is sweet, thought the Indian. Now this visit of the missionary had cleared the mind of Petawanaquat to some extent.
To know the Great Spirit and Jesus is to live for ever. Petawanaquat has lived long and seen much. He has seen men torture men like evil spirits. He has seen scalps torn from men and women. He has seen little ones dashed against the stones.
Instead of returning home he ran straight to the school-house, which he reached out of breath. "Come, Ian, come!" he gasped. "Tony's been carried off Petawanaquat! Bring your canoe and gun; all the ammunition you can lay hands on!"
He therefore relieved himself on the red man. "What do you want here, Petawanaquat?" he demanded sternly, in the language of the Indian. "The Little Wolf," replied the Indian, referring to himself, for such was the interpretation of his name, "wishes to see how his white brothers shoot." "Let the Little Wolf put his tail between his legs and be gone," cried the angry old man.

It was, as it were, a cart without wheels or body. Meekeye mounted the horse after the fashion of a man. Petawanaquat and Tony together mounted another steed. Three dogs formed part of the establishment. These were harnessed to little poles like those of the horse, and each dragged a little load proportioned to his size.
