That is why they use it in their prayers." Jeanne nodded with a curl of disbelief in her red-rose mouth. "So then Touchas and I took you to Father Rameau and I told him the story. He has the clothes and the paper and the locket, which has two faces in it we all thought they were your parents. The letters on it are all mixed up and no one can seem to make them out. And the ring.
The curtain was up and the fire was burning, and I had grown stiff with cold and just stumbled on the floor, laying you down. Touchas was so amazed. "'Whose child is that? she said. 'Why, your eyes are like moons. Have you seen some evil thing?" "And you thought me an evil thing, Pani!" said the child reproachfully. "One never can tell. There are strange things," and the woman shook her head.
Pani's dark eyes gave a glance of mute inquiry. "But I asked Touchas. At first she said the great Manitou had taken the power from her. But the night the moon described the full circle and one could discern strange shapes in it, she came to me, and we went and sat under the oak tree where the child first came to thee.
The white maiden is afraid at first and cowers, for she reads passion in the other's eyes. O great Manitou, save her! Then Touchas screamed and woke, shivering all over, and could see no further into the strange future. 'Wait until the next moon, she keeps saying. But the child will be saved, she declares." "Oh, my darling, my little one!" moaned the woman, rocking herself to and fro.
"I have had many strange thoughts and Touchas, you know, has seen visions. The white man has changed everything and driven away the children of the air who used to run to and fro in the times of our fathers. In her youth she called them, but the Church has it they are demons, and to look at the future is a wicked thing. It is said in some places they have put people to death for doing it."
At first you cried a little for maman and then you laughed with the children. For Touchas' boys were not grown-up men then, and White Fawn had not met her brave who took her up to St. Ignace." "I might have dropped from the clouds," said the child mirthfully. "The Great Manitou could have sent me to you." "But you talked French. Up in the above they will speak in Latin as the good fathers do.
