True, he had the compensation of believing invincibly that the Arrowhead Ranch and all its concerns lay upon his own slightly bowed shoulders; that the thing would fast crumble upon his severance from it. But I questioned whether this were adequate. I felt him to be a man of sorrow if not of tragedy. Vaguely he reached me as one who had survived some colossal buffeting.
Einar answered sadly as he dropped the pieces of his bow: "Norway from thy hands, my king!" "So great was not the breach, I hope," King Olaf said. "Take my bow and shoot with it instead." Einar seized the king's bow and straightway drew it right over the arrowhead, bending it almost double. "Too weak, too weak is the king's bow," said he, casting it aside.
With grunts of satisfaction they seized what she gave, and thrust it into their mouths, squatting on the ground. Arrowhead looked on stern and immobile, but when at last she and the factor's wife sat down before the braves with confidence and an air of friendliness, he sat down also; yet, famished as he was, he would not touch the food.
"No doubt, ye had need to be always on the look out where there are such varmints; but hereaway, Arrowhead, there are no foes to fear, and therefore no need to take yer friends by surprise. But ye're proud o' your gifts, lad, an' I suppose it's natural to like to show them off. Is the canoe ready?" The Indian replied by a nod.
The bold handwriting made it look like a man's letter, and gave it consequently a less dangerous expression than that which belongs to the tinted and often fragrant sheet with its delicate thready characters, which slant across the page like an April shower with a south wind chasing it. ARROWHEAD VILLAGE, August , 18 .
The colour came back to Jim's face, the skin of his hands filled up, they ceased twitching, his pulse got stronger, his eyes opened with a new light in them. "I'm living, anyhow," he said at last with a faint smile. "I'm hungry broth, please." The fight was won, and Arrowhead, the pagan murderer, drew over to the fire and crouched down beside it, his back to the bed, impassive and still.
It was but for an instant, however, for she immediately went to the loop, and was about to thrust the muzzle of the piece through it, when a feeling of natural aversion induced Mabel to seize her arm. "No, no, no, June!" said the latter; "not against your own husband, though my life be the penalty." "No hurt Arrowhead," returned June, with a slight shudder, "no hurt red man at all.
"Well, well, all this seems natural, and according to matrimony. But, Tuscarora, how did you get that canoe, and why are you paddling towards the St. Lawrence instead of the garrison?" "Arrowhead can tell his own from that of another. This canoe is mine; I found it on the shore near the fort."
When he come home I ask him. Who will I tell him wants to ask him about old coin?" "Tell him a gentleman visiting Arrowhead Village would like to call and show him some old pieces of money, said to be Roman ones." The Interviewer had just remembered that he had two or three old battered bits of copper which he had picked up at a tollman's, where they had been passed off for cents.
It would be difficult to say which evinced the most satisfaction, when Mabel sprang to her feet and appeared in the centre of the room, our heroine, on finding that her visitor was the wife of Arrowhead, and not Arrowhead himself, or June, at discovering that her advice had been followed, and that the blockhouse contained the person she had so anxiously and almost hopelessly sought.
