"Yes," said the Sachem, "his heart is a man's, though it is soft. Does Wampum-hair still love Leelinau?" "The breath of Thequan is not more welcome to the wood-flower which it wakes up to life, or the song of the bird dearer to its mate, than the sight of Leelinau to Magisaunikwa." "What would Wampum-hair do to obtain her love?"
Among her admirers none was more deeply smitten by the power of her charms nor cherished a truer love than Magisaunikwa or Wampum-hair, so called from the gentleness of his disposition and love of peace. He was only a few years the senior of the maiden, and of an obscure family compared with that of the famous Aishkwagon-ai-bee.
"He would climb the sky, or dive to the bottom of the salt lake; all that the Great Spirit could ask would he do." "A chief cannot compel the affection of his daughter, but he can give his own consent, and the young bird listens to the voice of its parent." "Let the great chief say what he would have, and the arm of Wampum-hair shall be strong to do his will.
The feet of Wampum-hair are swift; his arrows are true, and they shall pierce the screaming panther." That same day, so eager was the young hunter to commence the chase, he started for those parts of the forest where the game was most likely to be found.
The noble youth had found favor in his eyes, and he did not disdain his alliance. There was only a single cause of hesitation in his mind. Wampum-hair had never been on a war-path, and had always shown a disinclination to shed human blood. Yet his courage was undoubted. None encountered with more audacity the panther and the bear, and several were the lives he had saved at the hazard of his own.
It was evident Manabozho had never been in love, for then he would not have thrown away his advice. He stayed not for a reply, but with a gesture of disdain disappeared. Wampum-hair sought his wigwam, melancholy but not discouraged. It was, indeed, impossible to follow the counsel of the friendly Manito.
The company expressed their acknowledgments to Bernard for the entertainment he had furnished, although they all seemed to consider the conduct of Wampum-hair inconsistent with his amiable character, and to pity the fate of Leelinau.
