Justice
.
His
prisoners
are
with
his
brothers
,
and
he
comes
for
his
own
.
"
Tamenund
turned
his
head
towards
one
of
his
supporters
,
and
listened
to
the
short
explanation
the
man
gave
.
Then
facing
the
applicant
,
he
regarded
him
a
moment
with
deep
attention
;
after
which
he
said
,
in
a
low
and
reluctant
voice
--
"
Justice
is
the
law
of
the
great
Manitou
.
My
children
,
give
the
stranger
food
.
Then
,
Huron
,
take
thine
own
and
depart
.
"
On
the
delivery
of
this
solemn
judgment
,
the
patriarch
seated
himself
,
and
closed
his
eyes
again
,
as
if
better
pleased
with
the
images
of
his
own
ripened
experience
than
with
the
visible
objects
of
the
world
.
Against
such
a
decree
there
was
no
Delaware
sufficiently
hardy
to
murmur
,
much
less
oppose
himself
.
The
words
were
barely
uttered
when
four
or
five
of
the
younger
warriors
,
stepping
behind
Heyward
and
the
scout
,
passed
thongs
so
dexterously
and
rapidly
around
their
arms
,
as
to
hold
them
both
in
instant
bondage
.
The
former
was
too
much
engrossed
with
his
precious
and
nearly
insensible
burden
,
to
be
aware
of
their
intentions
before
they
were
executed
;
and
the
latter
,
who
considered
even
the
hostile
tribes
of
the
Delawares
a
superior
race
of
beings
,
submitted
without
resistance
.
Perhaps
,
however
,
the
manner
of
the
scout
would
not
have
been
so
passive
,
had
he
fully
comprehended
the
language
in
which
the
preceding
dialogue
had
been
conducted
.
Magua
cast
a
look
of
triumph
around
the
whole
assembly
before
he
proceeded
to
the
execution
of
his
purpose
.
Perceiving
that
the
men
were
unable
to
offer
any
resistance
,
he
turned
his
looks
on
her
he
valued
most
.
Cora
met
his
gaze
with
an
eye
so
calm
and
firm
,
that
his
resolution
wavered
.
Then
recollecting
his
former
artifice
,
he
raised
Alice
from
the
arms
of
the
warrior
against
whom
she
leaned
,
and
beckoning
Heyward
to
follow
,
he
motioned
for
the
encircling
crowd
to
open
.
But
Cora
,
instead
of
obeying
the
impulse
he
had
expected
,
rushed
to
the
feet
of
the
patriarch
,
and
raising
her
voice
,
exclaimed
aloud
--
"
Just
and
venerable
Delaware
,
on
thy
wisdom
and
power
we
lean
for
mercy
!
Be
deaf
to
yonder
artful
and
remorseless
monster
,
who
poisons
thy
ears
with
falsehoods
to
feed
his
thirst
for
blood
.
Thou
that
hast
lived
long
,
and
that
hast
seen
the
evil
of
the
world
,
should
know
how
to
temper
its
calamities
to
the
miserable
.
"
The
eyes
of
the
old
man
opened
heavily
,
and
he
once
more
looked
upwards
at
the
multitude
.
As
the
piercing
tones
of
the
supplicant
swelled
on
his
ears
,
they
moved
slowly
in
the
direction
of
her
person
,
and
finally
settled
there
in
a
steady
gaze
.
Cora
had
cast
herself
to
her
knees
;
and
,
with
hands
clenched
in
each
other
and
pressed
upon
her
bosom
,
she
remained
like
a
beauteous
and
breathing
model
of
her
sex
,
looking
up
in
his
faded
,
but
majestic
countenance
,
with
a
species
of
holy
reverence
.
Gradually
the
expression
of
Tamenund
's
features
changed
,
and
losing
their
vacancy
in
admiration
,
they
lighted
with
a
portion
of
that
intelligence
which
a
century
before
had
been
wont
to
communicate
his
youthful
fire
to
the
extensive
bands
of
the
Delawares
.
Rising
without
assistance
,
and
seemingly
without
an
effort
,
he
demanded
,
in
a
voice
that
startled
its
auditors
by
its
firmness
--
"
What
art
thou
?
"
