The
scout
regarded
Heyward
in
surprise
,
and
then
lifting
his
cap
,
he
answered
,
in
a
tone
less
confident
than
before
,
though
still
expressing
doubt
--
"
I
have
heard
a
party
was
to
leave
the
encampment
this
morning
,
for
the
lake
shore
.
"
"
You
have
heard
the
truth
;
but
I
preferred
a
nearer
route
,
trusting
to
the
knowledge
of
the
Indian
I
mentioned
.
"
"
And
he
deceived
you
,
and
then
deserted
?
"
"
Neither
,
as
I
believe
;
certainly
not
the
latter
,
for
he
is
to
be
found
in
the
rear
.
"
I
should
like
to
look
at
the
creatur
'
;
if
it
is
a
true
Iroquois
I
can
tell
him
by
his
knavish
look
,
and
by
his
paint
,
"
said
the
scout
,
stepping
past
the
charger
of
Heyward
,
and
entering
the
path
behind
the
mare
of
the
singing-master
,
whose
foal
had
taken
advantage
of
the
halt
to
exact
the
maternal
contribution
.
After
shoving
aside
the
bushes
,
and
proceeding
a
few
paces
,
he
encountered
the
females
,
who
awaited
the
result
of
the
conference
with
anxiety
,
and
not
entirely
without
apprehension
.
Behind
these
,
the
runner
leaned
against
a
tree
,
where
he
stood
the
close
examination
of
the
scout
with
an
air
unmoved
,
though
with
a
look
so
dark
and
savage
,
that
it
might
in
itself
excite
fear
.
Satisfied
with
his
scrutiny
,
the
hunter
soon
left
him
.
As
he
repassed
the
females
,
he
paused
a
moment
to
gaze
upon
their
beauty
,
answering
to
the
smile
and
nod
of
Alice
with
a
look
of
open
pleasure
.
Thence
he
went
to
the
side
of
the
motherly
animal
,
and
spending
a
minute
in
a
fruitless
inquiry
into
the
character
of
her
rider
,
he
shook
his
head
and
returned
to
Heyward
.
"
A
Mingo
is
a
Mingo
,
and
God
having
made
him
so
,
neither
the
Mohawks
nor
any
other
tribe
can
alter
him
,
"
he
said
,
when
he
had
regained
his
former
position
.
"
If
we
were
alone
,
and
you
would
leave
that
noble
horse
at
the
mercy
of
the
wolves
to-night
,
I
could
show
you
the
way
to
Edward
,
myself
,
within
an
hour
,
for
it
lies
only
about
an
hour
's
journey
hence
;
but
with
such
ladies
in
your
company
'
tis
impossible
!
"
"
And
why
?
they
are
fatigued
,
but
they
are
quite
equal
to
a
ride
of
a
few
more
miles
.
"
'
Tis
a
natural
impossibility
!
"
repeated
the
scout
;
"
I
would
n't
walk
a
mile
in
these
woods
after
night
gets
into
them
,
in
company
with
that
runner
,
for
the
best
rifle
in
the
colonies
.
They
are
full
of
outlying
Iroquois
,
and
your
mongrel
Mohawk
knows
where
to
find
them
too
well
,
to
be
my
companion
.
"
"
Think
you
so
?
"
said
Heyward
,
leaning
forward
in
the
saddle
,
and
dropping
his
voice
nearly
to
a
whisper
;
"
I
confess
I
have
not
been
without
my
own
suspicions
,
though
I
have
endeavored
to
conceal
them
,
and
affected
a
confidence
I
have
not
always
felt
,
on
account
of
my
companions
.
It
was
because
I
suspected
him
that
I
would
follow
no
longer
;
making
him
,
as
you
see
,
follow
me
.
"
