The
lad
will
be
an
honor
to
his
people
,
"
said
Hawkeye
,
regarding
the
trail
with
as
much
admiration
as
a
naturalist
would
expend
on
the
tusk
of
a
mammoth
or
the
rib
of
a
mastodon
;
"
ay
,
and
a
thorn
in
the
sides
of
the
Hurons
.
Yet
that
is
not
the
footstep
of
an
Indian
!
the
weight
is
too
much
on
the
heel
,
and
the
toes
are
squared
,
as
though
one
of
the
French
dancers
had
been
in
,
pigeon-winging
his
tribe
!
Run
back
,
Uncas
,
and
bring
me
the
size
of
the
singer
's
foot
.
You
will
find
a
beautiful
print
of
it
just
opposite
yon
rock
,
agin
the
hillside
.
"
While
the
youth
was
engaged
in
this
commission
,
the
scout
and
Chingachgook
were
attentively
considering
the
impressions
.
The
measurements
agreed
,
and
the
former
unhesitatingly
pronounced
that
the
footstep
was
that
of
David
,
who
had
once
more
,
been
made
to
exchange
his
shoes
for
moccasins
.
"
I
can
now
read
the
whole
of
it
,
as
plainly
as
if
I
had
seen
the
arts
of
Le
Subtil
,
"
he
added
;
"
the
singer
,
being
a
man
whose
gifts
lay
chiefly
in
his
throat
and
feet
,
was
made
to
go
first
,
and
the
others
have
trod
in
his
steps
,
imitating
their
formation
.
"
"
But
,
"
cried
Duncan
,
"
I
see
no
signs
of
--
"
"
The
gentle
ones
,
"
interrupted
the
scout
;
"
the
varlet
has
found
a
way
to
carry
them
,
until
he
supposed
he
had
thrown
any
followers
off
the
scent
.
My
life
on
it
,
we
see
their
pretty
little
feet
again
,
before
many
rods
go
by
.
"
The
whole
party
now
proceeded
,
following
the
course
of
the
rill
,
keeping
anxious
eyes
on
the
regular
impressions
.
The
water
soon
flowed
into
its
bed
again
,
but
watching
the
ground
on
either
side
,
the
foresters
pursued
their
way
content
with
knowing
that
the
trail
lay
beneath
.
More
than
half
a
mile
was
passed
,
before
the
rill
rippled
close
around
the
base
of
an
extensive
and
dry
rock
.
Here
they
paused
to
make
sure
that
the
Hurons
had
not
quitted
the
water
.
It
was
fortunate
they
did
so
.
For
the
quick
and
active
Uncas
soon
found
the
impression
of
a
foot
on
a
bunch
of
moss
,
where
it
would
seem
an
Indian
had
inadvertently
trodden
.
Pursuing
the
direction
given
by
this
discovery
,
he
entered
the
neighboring
thicket
,
and
struck
the
trail
,
as
fresh
and
obvious
as
it
had
been
before
they
reached
the
spring
.
Another
shout
announced
the
good
fortune
of
the
youth
to
his
companions
,
and
at
once
terminated
the
search
.
"
Ay
,
it
has
been
planned
with
Indian
judgment
,
"
said
the
scout
,
when
the
party
was
assembled
around
the
place
;
"
and
would
have
blinded
white
eyes
.
"
"
Shall
we
proceed
?
"
demanded
Heyward
.
"
Softly
,
softly
:
we
know
our
path
;
but
it
is
good
to
examine
the
formation
of
things
.
This
is
my
schooling
,
major
;
and
if
one
neglects
the
book
,
there
is
little
chance
of
learning
from
the
open
hand
of
Providence
.
All
is
plain
but
one
thing
,
which
is
the
manner
that
the
knave
contrived
to
get
the
gentle
ones
along
the
blind
trail
.
Even
a
Huron
would
be
too
proud
to
let
their
tender
feet
touch
the
water
.
