Heyward
prepared
to
comply
,
though
with
strong
disgust
at
the
nature
of
the
office
he
was
compelled
to
execute
.
Each
moment
,
however
,
pressed
upon
him
a
conviction
of
the
critical
situation
in
which
he
had
suffered
his
invaluable
trust
to
be
involved
through
his
own
confidence
.
The
sun
had
already
disappeared
,
and
the
woods
,
suddenly
deprived
of
his
light
,
were
assuming
a
dusky
hue
,
which
keenly
reminded
him
that
the
hour
the
savage
usually
chose
for
his
most
barbarous
and
remorseless
acts
of
vengeance
or
hostility
,
was
speedily
drawing
near
.
Stimulated
by
apprehension
,
he
left
the
scout
,
who
immediately
entered
into
a
loud
conversation
with
the
stranger
that
had
so
unceremoniously
enlisted
himself
in
the
party
of
travellers
that
morning
.
In
passing
his
gentler
companions
Heyward
uttered
a
few
words
of
encouragement
,
and
was
pleased
to
find
that
,
though
fatigued
with
the
exercise
of
the
day
,
they
appeared
to
entertain
no
suspicion
that
their
present
embarrassment
was
other
than
the
result
of
accident
.
Giving
them
reason
to
believe
he
was
merely
employed
in
a
consultation
concerning
the
future
route
,
he
spurred
his
charger
,
and
drew
the
reins
again
,
when
the
animal
had
carried
him
within
a
few
yards
of
the
place
where
the
sullen
runner
still
stood
,
leaning
against
the
tree
.
"
You
may
see
,
Magua
,
"
he
said
,
endeavoring
to
assume
an
air
of
freedom
and
confidence
,
"
that
the
night
is
closing
around
us
,
and
yet
we
are
no
nearer
to
William
Henry
than
when
we
left
the
encampment
of
Webb
with
the
rising
sun
.
You
have
missed
the
way
,
nor
have
I
been
more
fortunate
.
But
,
happily
we
have
fallen
in
with
a
hunter
,
he
whom
you
hear
talking
to
the
singer
,
that
is
acquainted
with
the
deer-paths
and
by-ways
of
the
woods
,
and
who
promises
to
lead
us
to
a
place
where
we
may
rest
securely
till
the
morning
.
"
The
Indian
riveted
his
glowing
eyes
on
Heyward
as
he
asked
,
in
his
imperfect
English
,
"
Is
he
alone
?
"
"
Alone
!
"
hesitatingly
answered
Heyward
to
whom
deception
was
too
new
to
be
assumed
without
embarrassment
.
"
O
!
not
alone
,
surely
,
Magua
,
for
you
know
that
we
are
with
him
.
"
"
Then
Le
Renard
Subtil
will
go
,
"
returned
the
runner
,
coolly
raising
his
little
wallet
from
the
place
where
it
had
lain
at
his
feet
;
"
and
the
pale-faces
will
see
none
but
their
own
color
.
"
"
Go
!
Whom
call
you
Le
Renard
?
"
"
'
Tis
the
name
his
Canada
fathers
have
given
to
Magua
,
"
returned
the
runner
,
with
an
air
that
manifested
his
pride
at
the
distinction
.
"
Night
is
the
same
as
day
to
Le
Subtil
,
when
Munro
waits
for
him
.
"
"
And
what
account
will
Le
Renard
give
the
chief
of
William
Henry
concerning
his
daughters
?
Will
he
dare
to
tell
the
hot-blooded
Scotsman
that
his
children
are
left
without
a
guide
,
though
Magua
promised
to
be
one
?
"
"
Though
the
gray
head
has
a
loud
voice
,
and
a
long
arm
,
Le
Renard
will
not
hear
him
,
or
feel
him
,
in
the
woods
.
