Feeling that the sentiment of distrust was strongly engrafted in the tempers of his tribe, he rather endeavoured to soothe any just resentment they might entertain, by indirect excuses and apologies. He reminded the listeners that even the Pawnee Loups had been obliged to chase many unworthy individuals from their villages. The Wahcondah sometimes veiled his countenance from a Red-man.
He cherished an implacable hatred to every red-man, and they in turn often sought his life, for they had no enemy so dangerous as he. "Yes, sir, them varmints," said he, as he leaned upon his long rifle and gazed at Leslie, "are playing particular devil in these parts, and I calkelate it's a game that two can play at."
Jaap had brought his Huron prisoner with him; and the Onondago declared that the canoe could not carry six. This we knew from experience, indeed, though five went in it very comfortably. "No room," said Susquesus, "for red-man. Five good six bad." "What shall we do with the fellow, Corny?" asked Guert, with a little interest.
Besides, be it remembered, to carry that ring and that axe to the far-distant haunts of the Red-man cost the trader weeks and months of constant toil, trouble, anxiety, and, alas! too frequently cost him his life! The state of trade is considerably modified in these regions at the present day.
"No danger," he said; "red-man gettin' Yengeese scalps, on the war-path. Too much kill, now, to want more." As both governments pursued the culpable policy of paying for human scalps, this suggestion probably contained the whole truth. Previously to quitting the creek, however, there was a difficulty to dispose of.
"It must have been," he at length replied, "hunting with his fathers before the right time had come. Big Otter was not dead, and he chased the deer too much, perhaps, or fought too much. It may be that, having only his earth-body, he ate too much." "Don't ye think it's just possible," suggested Macnab, "that, having only your earth-body, you drank too much?" "Waugh!" replied the red-man.
He had probably been thus suspended and abandoned, while alive! Even the Onondago could not restrain me, after I fully saw and understood the nature of the cruelty which had been exercised on the miserable victim who was thus suspended directly before my eyes, and I broke out of the cover, ready, I am willing to confess, to pull trigger on the first hostile red-man I saw.
There was no possibility of galloping down the wood-encumbered banks after the fugitive, but quick as thought each Red-man leaped to the ground, and fitting an arrow to his bow, awaited Dick's re-appearance with eager gaze.
Off went the snowshoes and away he went over the marble surface at a slow trot slow in appearance, though in reality quicker than the fastest walk. Then the moon went down and the grey light of morning Christmas morning dawned. Still the red-man held on his way unchanged apparently unchangeable.
"Onny Mike say him secret Indian Trail," explained the red-man, ever faithful to his ancestors. "Well, will we pass Pine Tree where we are to meet Simms and the sheriff?" added Mrs. Brewster. "Na! him run away from Pine Tree. But him save half-day riding." Mr.
