"He had eaten nothing all day and was pretty hungry, but before he could lay hands on the meat a starving dog snatched it and bolted from the teepee. The mother ran after the dog and brought him back for punishment. She tied him to a post and was about to whip him when the boy interfered. 'Don't hurt him, mother! he cried; 'he took the meat because he was hungrier than I am!"
Red Earth witnessed the cutting down of the old woman, and as she returned to her teepee, her quick ear warned her of coming footsteps. She lingered apart from the others, and soon she saw the eagle feathers of her warrior as he descended the hill towards the village.
Fort McKay was the last point at which we saw the Chipewyan style of teepee, and the first where the Cree appeared. But its chief interest to us lay in the fact that it was the home of Jiarobia, a capable river-man who wished to go to Athabaska Landing.
If Rube were seriously hurt, it would be necessary to take him home to Birkenshaw's with the least possible delay. Kiddie therefore packed up the teepee and the stores in the canoe and left the latter ready for launching. He took his rifle and revolvers with him, filled his haversack with food, and did not neglect to take his pocket box of surgical dressings.
All of which did not help smooth Sam's pillow. Another piece of news was that old Musq'oosis had come to live with Bela and help her run her place. That night on his way back Sam saw that a teepee had been pitched beside the road near the stopping-house. In the end, as was inevitable, Sam began to argue with himself as to the wisdom of his course in staying away from Bela's.
You shall not take her life, nor shall you marry her. She is my prisoner she shall remain in my teepee." Seeing some motion of discontent among those who wished to take her life, he continued, while his eyes shot fire and his broad chest heaved with anger: "Come then and take her life. Let me see the brave warrior who will take the life of my prisoner?
There he placed them in perfect poise. His haughty spirit found a moment's happiness in fatherhood. Suddenly Tawasuota set the two boys on the ground again, and signed to them to enter the teepee. Apparently all was quiet.
The time allowed for speculation was soon curtailed by the sound of many voices approaching the tent, though presently there was silence, and a loud voice called to those within "The eyes of Mighty Hand would gladly rest on the sight of the White Men." "He means us," commented Arnold, rising from the couch of fur. "He's too polite to enter the teepee uninvited."
During all this time, he lived in a teepee of buffalo skins, subsisted upon wild rice and the fruits of the chase, never entered a house nor heard the English language spoken, and was taught to distrust and hate the white man. He is an alumnus of Dartmouth of '87 and of Boston University, department of medicine, of '90.
He told them all, and immediately many young men volunteered for the war-party, in order to have the honor of going with the daughter of their chief. "Several of Makatah's suitors were among them, and each watched eagerly for an opportunity to ride at her side. At night she pitched her little teepee within the circle of her cousins' campfires, and there she slept without fear.
