This
abstinence
,
so
remarkable
in
an
Indian
,
when
he
possessed
the
means
of
satisfying
hunger
,
at
length
attracted
the
notice
of
Heyward
.
The
young
man
willingly
believed
that
the
Huron
deliberated
on
the
most
eligible
manner
of
eluding
the
vigilance
of
his
associates
.
With
a
view
to
assist
his
plans
,
by
any
suggestion
of
his
own
,
and
to
strengthen
the
temptation
,
he
left
the
beech
,
and
straggled
as
if
without
an
object
,
to
the
spot
where
Le
Renard
was
seated
.
"
Has
not
Magua
kept
the
sun
in
his
face
long
enough
to
escape
all
danger
from
the
Canadians
?
"
he
asked
,
as
though
no
longer
doubtful
of
the
good
intelligence
established
between
them
;
"
and
will
not
the
chief
of
William
Henry
be
better
pleased
to
see
his
daughters
before
another
night
may
have
hardened
his
heart
to
their
loss
,
to
make
him
less
liberal
in
his
reward
?
"
"
Do
the
pale-faces
love
their
children
less
in
the
morning
than
at
night
?
"
asked
the
Indian
,
coldly
.
"
By
no
means
,
"
returned
Heyward
,
anxious
to
recall
his
error
,
if
he
had
made
one
;
"
the
white
man
may
,
and
does
often
,
forget
the
burial-place
of
his
fathers
;
he
sometimes
ceases
to
remember
those
he
should
love
and
has
promised
to
cherish
;
but
the
affection
of
a
parent
for
his
child
is
never
permitted
to
die
.
"
"
And
is
the
heart
of
the
white-headed
chief
soft
,
and
will
he
think
of
the
babes
that
his
squaws
have
given
him
?
He
is
hard
to
his
warriors
,
and
his
eyes
are
made
of
stone
!
"
"
He
is
severe
to
the
idle
and
wicked
,
but
to
the
sober
and
deserving
he
is
a
leader
,
but
just
and
humane
.
I
have
known
many
fond
and
tender
parents
,
but
never
have
I
seen
a
man
whose
heart
was
softer
towards
his
child
.
You
have
seen
the
gray-head
in
front
of
his
warriors
,
Magua
;
but
I
have
seen
his
eyes
swimming
in
water
,
when
he
spoke
of
those
children
who
are
now
in
your
power
!
"
Heyward
paused
,
for
he
knew
not
how
to
construe
the
remarkable
expression
that
gleamed
across
the
swarthy
features
of
the
attentive
Indian
.
At
first
it
seemed
as
if
the
remembrance
of
the
promised
reward
grew
vivid
in
his
mind
,
while
he
listened
to
the
sources
of
parental
feeling
which
were
to
assure
its
possession
;
but
as
Duncan
proceeded
,
the
expression
of
joy
became
so
fiercely
malignant
,
that
it
was
impossible
not
to
apprehend
it
proceeded
from
some
passion
more
sinister
than
avarice
.
"
Go
,
"
said
the
Huron
,
suppressing
the
alarming
exhibition
in
an
instant
,
in
a
death-like
calmness
of
countenance
;
"
go
to
the
dark-haired
daughter
,
and
say
,
Magua
waits
to
speak
.
The
father
will
remember
what
the
child
promises
.
"
Duncan
,
who
interpreted
this
speech
to
express
a
wish
for
some
additional
pledge
that
the
promised
gifts
should
not
be
withheld
,
slowly
and
reluctantly
repaired
to
the
place
where
the
sisters
were
now
resting
from
their
fatigue
,
to
communicate
its
purport
to
Cora
.
