Why
has
he
not
sent
me
the
death-stick
?
Because
he
knows
that
with
me
it
is
without
avail
.
But
you
,
Hare-Lip
,
so
deeply
are
you
sunk
in
black
superstition
that
did
you
awake
this
night
and
find
the
death-stick
beside
you
,
you
would
surely
die
.
And
you
would
die
,
not
because
of
any
virtues
in
the
stick
,
but
because
you
are
a
savage
with
the
dark
and
clouded
mind
of
a
savage
.
"
The
doctors
must
be
destroyed
,
and
all
that
was
lost
must
be
discovered
over
again
.
Wherefore
,
earnestly
,
I
repeat
unto
you
certain
things
which
you
must
remember
and
tell
to
your
children
after
you
.
You
must
tell
them
that
when
water
is
made
hot
by
fire
,
there
resides
in
it
a
wonderful
thing
called
steam
,
which
is
stronger
than
ten
thousand
men
and
which
can
do
all
man
's
work
for
him
.
There
are
other
very
useful
things
.
In
the
lightning
flash
resides
a
similarly
strong
servant
of
man
,
which
was
of
old
his
slave
and
which
some
day
will
be
his
slave
again
.
"
Quite
a
different
thing
is
the
alphabet
.
It
is
what
enables
me
to
know
the
meaning
of
fine
markings
,
whereas
you
boys
know
only
rude
picture-writing
.
In
that
dry
cave
on
Telegraph
Hill
,
where
you
see
me
often
go
when
the
tribe
is
down
by
the
sea
,
I
have
stored
many
books
.
In
them
is
great
wisdom
.
Also
,
with
them
,
I
have
placed
a
key
to
the
alphabet
,
so
that
one
who
knows
picture-writing
may
also
know
print
.
Some
day
men
will
read
again
;
and
then
,
if
no
accident
has
befallen
my
cave
,
they
will
know
that
Professor
James
Howard
Smith
once
lived
and
saved
for
them
the
knowledge
of
the
ancients
.
"
There
is
another
little
device
that
men
inevitably
will
rediscover
.
It
is
called
gunpowder
.
It
was
what
enabled
us
to
kill
surely
and
at
long
distances
.
Certain
things
which
are
found
in
the
ground
,
when
combined
in
the
right
proportions
,
will
make
this
gunpowder
.
What
these
things
are
,
I
have
forgotten
,
or
else
I
never
knew
.
But
I
wish
I
did
know
.
Then
would
I
make
powder
,
and
then
would
I
certainly
kill
Cross-Eyes
and
rid
the
land
of
superstition
--
"
"
After
I
am
man-grown
I
am
going
to
give
Cross-Eyes
all
the
goats
,
and
meat
,
and
skins
I
can
get
,
so
that
he
'll
teach
me
to
be
a
doctor
,
"
Hoo-Hoo
asserted
.
"
And
when
I
know
,
I
'll
make
everybody
else
sit
up
and
take
notice
.
They
'll
get
down
in
the
dirt
to
me
,
you
bet
.
"
The
old
man
nodded
his
head
solemnly
,
and
murmured
:
"
Strange
it
is
to
hear
the
vestiges
and
remnants
of
the
complicated
Aryan
speech
falling
from
the
lips
of
a
filthy
little
skin-clad
savage
.
All
the
world
is
topsy-turvy
.
And
it
has
been
topsy-turvy
ever
since
the
plague
.
"
"
You
wo
n't
make
me
sit
up
,
"
Hare-Lip
boasted
to
the
would-be
medicine-man
.
"
If
I
paid
you
for
a
sending
of
the
death-stick
and
it
did
n't
work
,
I
'd
bust
in
your
head
--
understand
,
you
Hoo-Hoo
,
you
?
"
"
I
'm
going
to
get
Granser
to
remember
this
here
gunpowder
stuff
,
"
Edwin
said
softly
,
"
and
then
I
'll
have
you
all
on
the
run
.
You
,
Hare-Lip
,
will
do
my
fighting
for
me
and
get
my
meat
for
me
,
and
you
,
Hoo-Hoo
,
will
send
the
death-stick
for
me
and
make
everybody
afraid
.
And
if
I
catch
Hare-Lip
trying
to
bust
your
head
,
Hoo-Hoo
,
I
'll
fix
him
with
that
same
gunpowder
.
Granser
ai
n't
such
a
fool
as
you
think
,
and
I
'm
going
to
listen
to
him
and
some
day
I
'll
be
boss
over
the
whole
bunch
of
you
.
