To
what
,
as
a
white
man
who
has
no
taint
of
Indian
blood
,
I
should
be
ashamed
to
own
;
to
the
judgment
of
the
young
Mohican
,
in
matters
which
I
should
know
better
than
he
,
but
which
I
can
now
hardly
believe
to
be
true
,
though
my
own
eyes
tell
me
it
is
so
.
"
"
'
Tis
extraordinary
!
will
you
not
name
the
reason
?
"
"
Uncas
was
bold
enough
to
say
,
that
the
beasts
ridden
by
the
gentle
ones
,
"
continued
Hawkeye
,
glancing
his
eyes
,
not
without
curious
interest
,
on
the
fillies
of
the
ladies
,
"
planted
the
legs
of
one
side
on
the
ground
at
the
same
time
,
which
is
contrary
to
the
movements
of
all
trotting
four-footed
animals
of
my
knowledge
,
except
the
bear
.
And
yet
here
are
horses
that
always
journey
in
this
manner
,
as
my
own
eyes
have
seen
,
and
as
their
trail
has
shown
for
twenty
long
miles
.
"
"
'
Tis
the
merit
of
the
animal
!
They
come
from
the
shores
of
Narragansett
Bay
,
in
the
small
province
of
Providence
Plantations
,
and
are
celebrated
for
their
hardihood
,
and
the
ease
of
this
peculiar
movement
;
though
other
horses
are
not
unfrequently
trained
to
the
same
.
"
It
may
be
--
it
may
be
,
"
said
Hawkeye
,
who
had
listened
with
singular
attention
to
this
explanation
;
"
though
I
am
a
man
who
has
the
full
blood
of
the
whites
,
my
judgment
in
deer
and
beaver
is
greater
than
in
beasts
of
burden
.
Major
Effingham
has
many
noble
chargers
,
but
I
have
never
seen
one
travel
after
such
a
sideling
gait
.
"
"
True
;
for
he
would
value
the
animals
for
very
different
properties
.
Still
is
this
a
breed
highly
esteemed
,
and
as
you
witness
,
much
honored
with
the
burdens
it
is
often
destined
to
bear
.
"
The
Mohicans
had
suspended
their
operations
about
the
glimmering
fire
,
to
listen
;
and
when
Duncan
had
done
,
they
looked
at
each
other
significantly
,
the
father
uttering
the
never-failing
exclamation
of
surprise
.
The
scout
ruminated
,
like
a
man
digesting
his
newly
acquired
knowledge
,
and
once
more
stole
a
curious
glance
at
the
horses
.
"
I
dare
to
say
there
are
even
stranger
sights
to
be
seen
in
the
settlements
!
"
he
said
,
at
length
;
"
natur
'
is
sadly
abused
by
man
,
when
he
once
gets
the
mastery
.
But
,
go
sideling
or
go
straight
,
Uncas
had
seen
the
movement
,
and
their
trail
led
us
on
to
the
broken
bush
.
The
outer
branch
,
near
the
prints
of
one
of
the
horses
,
was
bent
upward
,
as
a
lady
breaks
a
flower
from
its
stem
,
but
all
the
rest
were
ragged
and
broken
down
,
as
if
the
strong
hand
of
a
man
had
been
tearing
them
!
So
I
concluded
that
the
cunning
varmints
had
seen
the
twig
bent
,
and
had
torn
the
rest
,
to
make
us
believe
a
buck
had
been
feeling
the
boughs
with
his
antlers
.
"
I
do
believe
your
sagacity
did
not
deceive
you
;
for
some
such
thing
occurred
!
"
"
That
was
easy
to
see
,
"
added
the
scout
,
in
no
degree
conscious
of
having
exhibited
any
extraordinary
sagacity
;
"
and
a
very
different
matter
it
was
from
a
waddling
horse
!
It
then
struck
me
the
Mingos
would
push
for
this
spring
,
for
the
knaves
well
know
the
vartue
of
its
waters
!
