30795Is he not sailing Lost like thyself on an ocean unknown, and is he not guided By the same stars that guide thee?
30795Is there anything can harm you?
30795Knowest thou Him, who forgave, with the crown of thorns round his temples?
30795Nothing that you are afraid of?"
30795Or do ye know, ye children, one blessing that comes not from Heaven?
30795Or the heron, the Shuh- shuh- gah?
30795Readest thou not in his face thine origin?
30795Saw the moon rise from the water Rippling, rounding from the water, Saw the flecks and shadows on it, Whispered,"What is that, Nokomis?"
30795Saw the rainbow in the heaven, In the eastern sky, the rainbow, Whispered,"What is that, Nokomis?"
30795Say to me only, ye children, ye denizens new- come in heaven, Are ye ready this day to eat of the bread of Atonement?
30795Say, dost thou know him?
30795She had heard her father praise him, Praise his courage and his wisdom; 115 Would he come again for arrows To the Falls of Minnehaha?
30795Should not the dove so white Follow the sea- mew''s flight, Why did they leave that night Her nest unguarded?
30795Should you ask me, whence these stories?
30795Some one perhaps of yourselves, a lily broken untimely, Bow down his head to the earth; why delay I?
30795Then he said,"O Mudjekeewis, 115 Is there nothing that can harm you?
30795Then he turned and saw the strangers, 85 Cowering, crouching with the shadows; Said within himself,"Who are they?
30795Thus then,--believe ye in God, in the Father who this world created?
30795Was it Shingebis the diver?
30795Was it the owl, the Koko- koho, Hooting from the dismal forest?
30795Was it the pelican, the Shada?
30795Was it the wind above the smoke- flue, 65 Muttering down into the wigwam?
30795What strange guests has Minnehaha?"
30795Who is this, that lights the wigwam?
30795Who shall say what dreams of beauty Filled the heart of Hiawatha?
30795Who shall say what thoughts and visions 290 Fill the fiery brains of young men?
30795Who shall stand in his presence?
30795Why shouldst thou hate then thy brother?
30795Why then will you hunt each other?
30795Will ye promise me here( a holy promise), to cherish God more than all things earthly, and every man as a brother?
30795Will ye promise me this before God and man?''
30795With his great eyes lights the wigwam?
30795Wrapt not in Eastern balms, But with thy fleshless palms Stretched, as if asking alms, Why dost thou haunt me?"
30795Ye children does Death e''er alarm you?
30795Yet,--for what reason not children?
30795Yet,--why are ye afraid, ye children?
30795and safe from danger; Can you not with all your cunning, 95 All your wisdom and contrivance, Change me, too, into a beaver?"
30795he cried in terror;"What is that,"he said,"Nokomis?"
30795he cried, desponding, 40"Must our lives depend on these things?"
30795he cried, desponding,"Must our lives depend on these things?"
30795he cried, desponding,"Must our lives depend on these things?"
30795said the young men, 135 As they sported in the meadow;"Why standing idly looking at us, Leaning on the rock behind you?
30795that it has not received?
30795to hope, to forgive, and to suffer, Be what it may your condition, and walk before God in uprightness?
30795why is it That your hearts are so afflicted, That you sob so in the midnight?
7339After this general letting down of the scene, Red Jacket turned to me familiarly and asked;''What are you? 7339 As to suffering and death among the Indians, did not they prove that the Great Spirit was angry with_ them_, as well as with white men?
7339But,said Mr. Morris,"what value can they be to you as they now are, any further than the consciousness that you own them?"
7339I inquired of a gentleman who was conversant with Indian proceedings, what Red Jacket was doing? 7339 Very true,"replied Red Jacket,"_ and why_?
7339What did he do? 7339 What have we here?
7339What have we here?
7339What will you do, then?
7339Why can you not go on while I write?
7339''Have you then,''he added,''any method by which you can change your palates every time you change your plates?
7339''Now,''said Red Jacket,''what was this for?''
7339''You must then suppose,''he continued,''that the plates, and knives, and forks, retain the taste of the cookery?''
7339--Are they not yet strong?
7339A new power had arisen in the land, what bearing would it have on their future fortunes?
7339Am I not yet strong?
7339And how was_ that_ regarded by the Great Spirit?--Would he forgive it?
7339And united, would they not yet be, a formidable power?
7339And what crime has this man committed, by executing in a summary way, the laws of his country, and the command of the Great Spirit?"
7339And what did you dream?"
7339And when filled with good news, how is it possible that disasters should befall you on the way?
7339And why did they die, if the Great Spirit was not angry, and they wicked?
7339And_ where_ they got such a rite from?
7339Another point of interest with them, was to ascertain_ how large a pile, the money they were to receive, would make_?
7339Are you Jesus Christ?
7339But did not the Indians have_ some_ wickedness_ before_ that?
7339But do not Indians and white men do so?
7339But they_ died before that_?
7339Did they expect the hand of friendship to be extended toward them?
7339Do you denounce us as fools and bigots, because we still believe that which you yourselves believed two centuries ago?
7339For I should suppose that the taste would remain on the palate longer than on the plate?''
7339For they ask continually-- where is the land which our children, and their children after them are to lie down upon?
7339Have I not yet power to withstand my enemies?"
7339He had no thought of teaching as his life- work, and what would he do next?
7339Hence after this when speaking to Mr. Morris about their money, they would inquire_ what kind of a crop they were going to have that year_?
7339His last words were still,"Where is the missionary?"
7339How came she to be thus exercised?
7339How can you tax it?
7339How did it happen?
7339How do we know this to be true?
7339How shall we know when to believe, being so often deceived by the white people?
7339How then has your State, which never owned our land, sold it to you?
7339If there is but one religion why do you white people differ so much about it?
7339My first step, therefore, was to ask him why he so strongly opposed the settlement and labors of the missionaries?
7339Need we be surprised then, to find in Red Jacket''s published speeches, a tameness unworthy of his fame?
7339Now, here we are: what is your business?''
7339On cross examination the inquiry was made, as to the rank he held among his own people?
7339Parks, how neighbor Codding came near being killed yesterday?
7339Pointing then to the other figure, he inquired,"_ What_-HIM- call?"
7339Shall we observe that he wished that if the errors of the hostile Indians could be discovered, he would use his utmost exertions to remove them?
7339The armies of Britain defeated, could they, single handed, cope with the American army?
7339The counsel who conducted the prosecution, wishing to exclude his testimony, inquired whether he believed in the existence of a God?
7339The judge inquired where he was going?
7339The ruse was successful, she anxiously inquired what they were talking about?
7339This indeed is to us an occasion of joy, for how can two brothers speak freely together, unless they feel they are upon equal ground?
7339To be invited to councils of peace,--to the intimacies, hospitalities, and kindly feeling manifested on this occasion?
7339What are we?
7339What could be their position, now that the armies of Britain are withdrawn?
7339What could he want more?
7339What did he do?
7339What has become of the Indians, who extended to the salt water?
7339What have our brothers done, more than the rulers of your own people have done?
7339What marks our extermination?
7339What were the results?
7339What would be your feelings, were you told that your children were to be cast upon a naked rock, there to protect themselves?
7339When I am gone to the other world, when the Great Spirit calls me away, who among them can take my place?"
7339Whereupon his eye kindling with animation, he asked with evident emotion,"WHERE- HIM- LIVE- NOW?"
7339Whether the Sachem mistrusted he was now to be taken in his own net or not, is not certain, but he also inquired,--"And what did you dream?"
7339Who then lives to mourn us?
7339Who told you that we have lands to sell?
7339Who were his parents?
7339Why are you not all agreed,--as you can all read the book?
7339Why do you offer such a_ sacrifice_, for so it is considered?
7339Why this difference_?
7339Would he thus treat men that were_ good_?
7339You say you are not a government agent, are you a gambler?
7339[ Footnote: Who would ever suspect that a railroad would stride across any of these deep chasms?
7339and not know Indian?"
7339and what, his early history?
7339or a black coat?
7339or what are you?''
7339said he,''is that it?''
39401And why not Edwins, too?
39401Are not your people and the Oneidas brethren?
39401Belong in these parts?
39401But have you never heard of any other tradition? 39401 But is there no way,"asked Ruth,"in which this conflict can be avoided?"
39401But what talk we of these traitorly rascals, whose miseries are to be smiled at, their offences being so capital?
39401But,asked Singing- Bird,"what pale- face women_ do_?
39401But,said Ralph,"how is our indebtedness to be paid?
39401But_ what_ enemy,asked Barton,"can he be pursuing in this direction?
39401Can it be possible?
39401Can this be Singing- Bird, of whom I have heard so much?
39401Can you give me the direction towards the riotous assemblage you have mentioned?
39401Did n''t we know that?
39401Do you suppose, Eagle''s- Wing, that they''re anywhere round here now?
39401Does he mean to eat his own words? 39401 Eagle''s- Wing''s friend do n''t hate Singing- Bird now?"
39401For Heaven''s sake, Eagle''s- Wing, what do all these arrangements mean? 39401 Gone?"
39401Got friend, then,asked Singing- Bird,"who like to look at you-- who give you his heart?"
39401Guthrie,answered Ruth,"in what manner has my father or have I, injured you, that you should commit the act you have, to- day?"
39401Has any one ever explored this swamp?
39401Hate you? 39401 Hath not old custom made this life more sweet Than that of painted pomp?
39401Have you got husband, too?
39401Hear him talk, eh?
39401How Injin look dressed like white man?
39401How do you know that, Eagle''s- Wing?
39401How know that?
39401How long ago, Mr. Jenkins,asked Barton,"did the fight which you mention occur?"
39401How now, Sir Knight?
39401How would you be, If He, who is the top of judgment, should But judge you as you are? 39401 How''s that, Eagle''s- Wing?"
39401How, then,asked Ralph,"would you pay off our indebtedness, and support the burthens of government?"
39401I say, Eagle''s- Wing, do you think the sarpent recollects_ us_?
39401I say, friend,said Ichabod, addressing Guthrie,"you keep a sharp look- out over there, do n''t you?"
39401I supposed,said Ralph,"that this country, through which we are now traveling, was in the possession of the friendly Oneidas and Tuscaroras?"
39401Is it certain we are to be attacked so soon?
39401Is it not possible that we may find some tolerably safe cover in it?
39401Is it right, Eagle''s- Wing, to kill Panther thus, in cold blood? 39401 Is your nation in this territory now?"
39401Know friend?
39401Know? 39401 May I ask the precise nature of the terms you mention?"
39401My father,she exclaimed,"is he safe?"
39401O gor- a- massy,''twas you, was it, Massa Jenkins? 39401 Of how many articles does your faith consist?"
39401Shall I tell Eagle''s- Wing this?
39401Shall I tell him to go back to the villages of his nation, and forget his squaw? 39401 That''s what I call fair,"said Ichabod, slowly;"but_ could n''t_ you, Squire, do a little something towards furnishing the capital?"
39401The Yankee pale- faces are strong, when they come together in armies; but are they strong_ here_? 39401 The country of the Senecas is not a good country, then?"
39401This Ichabod Jenkins probably resides in these parts?
39401Well, Eagle''s- Wing, what news from the Senecas?
39401Well, Ichabod, any more factory projects?
39401What Christian do, eh?
39401What are these Indians going to do with us?
39401What does my brother mean?
39401What is the meaning of that shout?
39401What is the meaning of this, Eagle''s- Wing?
39401What scalp good for, if they do n''t know''nough to keep Injin from taking''em?
39401What that?
39401What would you advise me to do, Guthrie? 39401 What''s the meaning of all this, Eagle''s- Wing?"
39401What''s to be done now?
39401What_ can_ we do?
39401Who do you say captured her?
39401Who heard it from?
39401Who wants him to escape?
39401Why are you here in this section alone, Tuscarora, with none of your brethren near you?
39401Why has Canendesha dug up the hatchet, when the pale- faces and their Indian allies have buried it?
39401Why then, does Snake- tongue make us this long war- speech? 39401 Why would n''t it be a good idea for one of us to reconnoitre a little?
39401Why, how many Senecas do you think there are, Guthrie?
39401Will you allow me to ask,continued Bagsley, addressing Barton,"how long you have resided in this section?"
39401Would it not be better to escape at once? 39401 Would n''t such a system a little better allow us to take care of ourselves?
39401Yes, but the question is,said Ichabod,"how we''re going to get the water upon the roof, in case of necessity?
39401Yes, but why not bear off some other trophy? 39401 You certainly do not think of going thither?"
39401You do not mean to say that Eagle''s- Wing would make_ you_ do labor in the field?
39401You do not mean, Captain Weston-- you_ can not_ mean, Mr. Barton, that you will not release us?
39401You do not think they would dare to attack the cottage for the purpose of capturing him?
39401You mean, I reckon, that I shall take Eagle''s- Wing and put these thongs round his limbs, and pass him over to you as a prisoner?
39401You remember the divine injunction to the apostles, Ichabod?
39401_ What_ friend?
39401Are not these woods More free from peril than the envious court?
39401Are not these woods More free from peril than the envious court?"
39401Are two or three pale- faces a match for the young warriors of the Senecas?
39401Are you anything of a fisherman, Ichabod?"
39401Are you much acquainted with the old poets of the country?"
39401As they approached the crowd of Indians, Bagsley cried out,"Will anybody be civil enough to show me the ringleader of this disorderly assembly?"
39401But I say,"asked he, just thinking of the other captive who had been brought in that morning,"what other prisoner have they got here?"
39401But I want to know, if it''s considered gentlemanly, among the Senecas, to tie a fellow''s legs so cussed tight?"
39401But he escaped; and how?
39401But how, and where?
39401But what do_ you_ say, Eagle''s- Wing?"
39401But who can foretell, from the look of this day, what shall be the appearance of the next?
39401But who is this Guthrie?
39401But why ca n''t we raise sheep here?
39401But why is he here-- two days''march from his friends?"
39401But will you allow_ me_ to ask, sir-- if my question is not too impertinent-- what business gentlemen of your profession can find in these forests?"
39401But you''ll say, Captain, that the foreign importations will ruins us?
39401Could it be that his body had been removed by a Seneca during the conflict?
39401Could n''t we a little easier build up manufactories of our own?
39401Could you not see that there is a propriety in accosting our friends with warmth, who are about to relieve us from an unpleasant situation?
39401Did I understand you to say, that this gentleman''s daughter has been taken prisoner?"
39401Did the pale- faces do that?
39401Did you ever read Freneau, Captain?
39401Did you ever read the ballad of''Lovewell''s Fight,''Captain?
39401Did you ever see a more terrific piece of writing than that, Captain?"
39401Do red men treat their brothers so, and expect that their hearts will be filled with peace?"
39401Do you want to know what''s coming next?"
39401Does my brother mean to lie?"
39401Had Ichabod been again captured?
39401Has he crossed the trail of an enemy?"
39401Have you not heard the story of the life and death of the Redeemer of the world, and of the truths that he taught?"
39401Hear that?"
39401How can I thank you?"
39401How do you like living with the Senecas?"
39401How massa Jenkins manage?"
39401How would an Injin look in the pantaloons and coat of a pale- face?
39401If the pale- faces do not, how can the Indians think so?"
39401Is he often at your father''s?"
39401Is it not so, Eagle''s- Wing?"
39401Is it not so?"
39401Is that right?
39401May this not be a promise for the future?"
39401No recollect?"
39401Now, did Shakspeare ever write anything equal to Freneau''s"Antiquity of America"?"
39401Now, why ca n''t you get the start of the white men?
39401One feels to exclaim with the Bard of Avon,"Is not this life more sweet Than that of painted pomp?
39401Or shall I tell him to come and deliver himself up to his enemies?"
39401Shall I tell you why?
39401Should they remain here, or continue their flight towards the cottage?
39401Should we let the pale- faces, who have done all this, go and laugh at us?
39401Singing- Bird continued,"If you got lover, then, why do n''t marry?"
39401Speaking of the Squire''s fishing expedition, what other poet ever said as fine things about_ fish_, for instance, as she did?
39401The moment they were discovered by the party, Barton ran towards Ralph, exclaiming,"Is she safe, Ralph-- is she safe?"
39401Wake up, man; what are you dreaming about?"
39401Was anything ever more terrible than the description of the final judgment?
39401Was it possible that the Indians, satisfied with the lives of their two unfortunate prisoners, had abandoned the idea of again attacking the cottage?
39401We could find out for sartin whether any of the reptiles are ra''ally round here or not?"
39401Were they friends or foes?
39401What d''ye think they mean to do, Eagle''s- Wing?"
39401What did_ he_ know about_ our_ woods?
39401What shall we do with him?"
39401What was now to be done?
39401When are these Indians going to leave here?"
39401Where do you propose to establish your hermitage?"
39401Where is it?"
39401Who would have believed it?"
39401Why is it so?
39401Why should we let them loose to lie like snakes in the grass and bite at us?
39401Why should we not love to look upon the country of our brothers?"
39401Will my sister go and tell him whether she does or not?"
39401Will you not return with us?"
39401Without us, I may venture to say, the world would be helpless-- without us, what power would sustain the weak?
39401Would it not be better, Eagle''s- Wing, if all the pale- faces and all the Indians thought so?"
39401You ca n''t deceive_ me_, Eagle''s Wing-- you are on a trail?"
39401You do n''t like pickerel- fishing, then?"
39401You see that red devil, yonder, that''s been set here to guard me?
39401Your roads are not remarkably well worn or broken; and we have had quite a fatiguing journey; have we not, Rogers?"
39401asked Ruth;"that they were to go into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature?"
39401cried Ichabod;"what''s the use of lying upon the ground, when you can just as well stand on your feet?"
39401ejaculated Barton,"what could_ I_ do in the factory business?"
39401exclaimed Bagsley, forgetting, in his fear, his professional character,"what shall we do?"
39401exclaimed Barton, with the appearance of surprise,"what business have the Senecas here, I should like to know?"
39401go to sleep will you, when you''re on duty?
39401how so?"
39401is it you, Eagle''s- Wing?
39401old veteran, was you there, too?"
39401said Eagle''s- Wing, quickly"What scalp good for to enemy, after he killed?
39401said the negro, grinning"who caught dis ere fellar?
39401sit still and do not''ing?"
39401whence yon glare, That fires the arch of heaven?--that dark- red smoke, Blotting the silver moon?"
39401which way?
39401why did n''t I think of that?
39401why not take a portion of the enemy''s dress, or something of that sort?"
46795Alone?
46795And Kate had disappeared?
46795And did you notice any such mark about the track we have been following-- anything you would know again, no matter where you saw it?
46795And you are also thinking of our mother, should the dreaded Indian attack come when we are away?
46795And you will stick to us through thick and thin, Blue Jacket?
46795And you, Blue Jacket, will you not join us?
46795And, Reuben, tell us if even Shawanee moccasins may not be known apart by some peculiar mark?
46795Are all here?
46795Are you hurt much, Blue Jacket?
46795Are you still thinking about father, Sandy?
46795Blue Jacket-- where is he?
46795Bob, what would you do?
46795But can one of them be carrying our sister all this time?
46795But dare he enter there, with Pontiac and all those other chiefs from distant tribes still present as guests of Kiashuta?
46795But even if he lives hundreds of miles away he can come back, ca n''t he? 46795 But he has already told us he could see that the braves were Senecas, from the feathers in their scalplocks, and their manner of dress?"
46795But how are we going to get at the honey, Bob?
46795But how can we ever stand it?
46795But how is it we do not see our good friend, Blue Jacket?
46795But on this present expedition you did not venture to go in among the lodges, because of the added danger, I suppose?
46795But tell us why he came out holding his hands above his head; and for what reason should he wave the white rag?
46795But the Iroquois are the friends of the English?
46795But the wind may die out by then; or something else might happen to upset all our plans?
46795But they do find a hollow, do n''t they?
46795But what about your plan for dressing us all up to look like the Indians?
46795But what if we succeed in locating the bee tree, and cut it down; how are we to carry the honey home?
46795But what is to hinder our securing torches, and continuing on as long as we can put one foot before the other?
46795But what shall we do with these two men?
46795But what would you do wiz us?
46795But where could he have found a boat?
46795But which do you think it will be?
46795But why did n''t you let me shoot him?
46795But you said that, after the cry, our mother saw Kate moving about?
46795But, Bob, must we just stand here, and let them take us prisoners?
46795But-- Armand Lacroix, what of him?
46795But-- he walked over here with us to get the measure of meal father promised to give him, without accepting any pay?
46795Can it be posseeble zat it ees real gold?
46795Chief, did you discover where the wigwam of Black Beaver is situated in the village?
46795Come, what ails you, Kate?
46795Could it be Daniel Boone who has come, or perhaps that young ranger, Simon Kenton, whom you and I liked so much when we saw him long ago?
46795Did any one see it done?
46795Did you empty your powder- horn in that charge, Bob? 46795 Did you hear what old Reuben Jacks said, Bob?"
46795Did you meet Pontiac?
46795Do you hear them coming?
46795Do you mean it might be Blue Jacket?
46795Had we not better run for the house?
46795Haf you more of ze same stuff?
46795Haf you zen a compadre near by? 46795 Have you got the sugar and everything along?"
46795He''s just sure to come nosing around, do n''t you think?
46795How did it start?
46795How do we know whether they are deceiving us?
46795How do you know that?
46795How does it go, Bob?
46795How it is zat you come to zat conclusion?
46795How long must we lie idle here?
46795How many were there?
46795How will this place do, Bob?
46795I wonder how far he is on his way now?
46795I wonder now if that firebrand, Pontiac, is up in this region? 46795 If our mother were ill you do not believe that both father and Kate would leave her alone, while they gossiped with the neighbors outside the doors?
46795Is that so, Reuben?
46795It comes from the other side of the settlement, does n''t it?
46795Listen to zat, would you, Larue?
46795Listen,said the cooler Bob;"why should he wish to attract our attention if he had done this deed?
46795Look up into that sycamore tree and tell me if you ca n''t see them flying around? 46795 Look, Bob, what do you suppose all those people are doing around our home?
46795Make noise-- tell Iroquois we here-- no good, see, Sandy?
46795Nothing but the hum of a hive of bees could make that noise, Bob, could it?
46795Now what is our next move?
46795Now, tell us at once,he said, in his commanding way;"was it a letter?"
46795Oui, I remember ze same, ver''well,said Armand;"but what may zat haf to do wif our young friends here?
46795Perhaps it is a deer, and he means to get a shot with his bow and arrows?
46795Perhaps they are even now carrying the scalps of our neighbors, the Bancrofts?
46795Phat do yees think av that?
46795Say you so, my leetle fire- eater?
46795Shall we accept the offer of Pontiac,asked Sandy,"and make for the river under the guard of his men?"
46795Shall we go on?
46795Something''s happened then,cried Sandy;"something good, you say?
46795Still, if the trail is washed out, how then are we to follow?
46795Tell us, Mr. Harkness; is Kate lost; and do they only believe she has been carried off, or is it proved?
46795The sun rose red this morning, you may have noticed?
46795Then it will be necessary, if Kate is rescued, that the village be entered under cover of darkness?
46795Then we can expect to get away from here, and start things moving at the village of Kiashuta? 46795 Then we must try to find Kenton, Pat and Blue Jacket?"
46795Then what makes you frown and look so black?
46795Then you could not know anything about our sister, or the location of Black Beaver''s lodge?
46795Then you found a chance to talk with the maiden, did you, Blue Jacket?
46795Three?
46795True,replied his brother in the same guarded tone;"but should we be captured or killed what then would become of poor little Kate?
46795Well, do we try for that bear to- night, Bob?
46795Were they Shawanees, Reuben?
46795What do you think they believed must have happened, Bob?
46795What does this magic mean?
46795What for you say zat, young monsieur?
46795What has happened? 46795 What if he comes to tell us it is Our Kate?"
46795What is eet ze young monsieur would say to us?
46795What is it, Reuben; what have you found to give tongue that way?
46795What is zis you tell us, hey?
46795What makes you say that?
46795What say you to that, Sandy?
46795What were you two talking about just now?
46795What worries you now, Bob? 46795 What would you do, hothead?"
46795What''s going on here?
46795What''s that you are saying?
46795Whatever you think best, that will I do, Bob?
46795Where could we have found a better friend, Bob?
46795Where did you see the Indians, Reuben?
46795Where?
46795Who can say?
46795Who saw the Indians?
46795Who''ll go with me ter look''em up?
46795Why does he turn his eyes up to the tops of the trees every little while?
46795Why white boy shoot French trapper?
46795Why, what else could be done?
46795Will he desert us, then?
46795Yes, yes, and when they arrived what did they learn?
46795You ask why, great Pontiac?
46795You do not think Pontiac suspected you, I hope?
46795You mean Pat O''Mara?
46795You mean about that Frenchman, Armand Lacroix?
46795You mean the Great Lake, on the shore of which, somewhere, the Iroquois have their village-- is that it?
46795You shoot at French trader?
46795Yours?
46795Zat if we let you go free, you take us to ze place where we can peek up much of zis same yellow sand in ze rock? 46795 A windy night may be a long time in coming; and how can we hold back?
46795And I think we''re pretty lucky to get off as easy as we did, eh, Sandy?"
46795And, while the forest is fairly alive with enemies, what chance would we have for getting clear?"
46795Are you positive that Kate is with these Indians?
46795Ask him if he will help us, wo n''t you, Bob?
46795Bob winced under the sharp pain; but he had accomplished his end, and what mattered a trifling cut?
46795Bob, can you make her stop dancing around like that, and speak?
46795Bob, what can all that shouting mean?"
46795But I got him, did n''t I?
46795But how long a time must elapse before the excited owners of all these painted lodges would settle down into quiet, so that operations could begin?
46795But how we know you keep your word?
46795But what if, through some little misfortune, they were discovered?
46795But what is this you tell us of Larue?
46795But where can Kate be, do you think?"
46795But why half a dozen of them; and what sort of business had brought them here to this tree, that must be a land mark in the neighborhood?
46795But why should he have stolen her at all?
46795But, Bob, have we not rested enough?
46795But, remember, you said I was to have the first shot at the old honey thief, if he does make his appearance?"
46795CHAPTER XVIII THE BIG WATER AT LAST"WILL we ever get there, do you think, Bob?"
46795CHAPTER XXIV KENTON''S LIFE WITH THE INDIANS"MUST we wait for night to come, Bob, before we can make a move?"
46795CHAPTER XXIX THE WORD OF AN INDIAN CHIEF"WHAT is he going to do, Bob?"
46795CHAPTER XXVI THE WAR DANCE"WHAT of the weather?"
46795Can you make it out still, Bob?"
46795Did Blue Jacket know?
46795Did it mean that the idle wish of Sandy was to be thus quickly fulfilled?
46795Did n''t he prove that he was a true friend to us?"
46795Do we go there next time, Bob?"
46795Do you know him, Blue Jacket?"
46795Does the paleface boy see the one who took tobacco and maize from the white man''s hand, and then stole his daughter?"
46795First tell me what you seek, so far away from your home?"
46795Four Iroquois say?
46795Had Sandy been to blame?
46795Had it not been for this paleface boy, where now would be your leader?
46795Haf you not ze eye to see zat aftaire ze first fire ze buck he nevaire run far?
46795Haf zey lost some one from zere family?
46795Harkness?"
46795Harkness?"
46795Has any one been hurt like father was?"
46795He has made the journey once, why not again?"
46795How Bob, Sandy see um?"
46795How could I attend to all the traps, and hunt in the bargain, without you?
46795How could Pontiac strike the flint that will make the whole border blaze with fires, if he lay here on this ground, dead?"
46795How did you manage it, you and dear Sandy?
46795How know?"
46795How long this pursuit would keep up, who could say?
46795I wonder if that firebrand has been about again, trying to burn us out?"
46795I''d be a pretty chap to go off unprepared, would n''t I?
46795Is Pat O''Mara waiting for us to come in, so that we may all start out together?"
46795Is it a very large place; are the Senecas feeling bitter against the white settlers; and what do they do when not on the warpath?"
46795Is it not grant?
46795Is it not splendid news, brothers?"
46795Is it our sister, and those braves the Senecas who stole her away from our mother''s cabin?"
46795Is there a fire?
46795It keeps getting harder and harder; but nothing is going to stop us, is it, Bob?"
46795It makes me out von liar, and think you I vill stand for zat from a boy like you?
46795It was as if one said to his comrade:"Shall we listen to what he has to say?"
46795May we go now?"
46795Meanwhile, what of Bob?
46795Now, tell me if you please, vat brings you up to zis country, so far avay from ze happy cabin on ze Ohio, la belle river?"
46795Now, you remember how he looked at our sister Kate when he came in for a supply of tobacco and maize?
46795S''pose we hold one like hostage till time come zat you carry out promise?"
46795Sandy was not so ready a reader of human nature, and immediately exclaimed in a whisper:"What success did you have, Blue Jacket?
46795Should the reckless boy have restrained his impulse to shoot down the wretch who would slay the great Indian leader in cold blood?
46795Tell me, did the same foot make both prints?"
46795That ought to help us greatly, Bob, do n''t you think?"
46795This fellow thrust himself forward, and, scowling darkly, demanded in fairly good English:"What for you say zat ze game is yours?
46795Was the wind really strengthening, or did Bob dream it simply because he wished for such a thing to come about?
46795Was zat girl belong to zem, I would like to know?"
46795What can it be, do you suppose, Bob?"
46795What can we do then, Bob?"
46795What do you suppose they will do with us now?
46795What hunt so far away settlement?"
46795What if Kate had already been carried off by some wandering red man?
46795What is zis I see?"
46795Who could tell what the next shuffle of the cards might bring forth?
46795Who?"
46795Why can not we use that?"
46795Will the great Pontiac keep his word by giving her back to our charge, and letting us depart for the cabin where a mother mourns?"
46795With the vast wilderness stretching all around for hundreds of miles, how would they ever know where to look for her?
46795Would n''t mother''s eyes just dance to see the piles of combs full of sweetness, perhaps enough for the whole winter?"
46795Yes, they would be on their guard; but what of that, Bob?
46795You are too young to be wandering around the country as he does, Sandy; and think, what would mother do without you?
46795You ask what sall we do wif zem?
46795You have keen hearing, Sandy; did you not make out what our neighbor, Peleg Green, was calling then?"
46795You promise me to do everything a man could for your sister''s and your mother''s well- being?"
46795but how about Blue Jacket?
46795can I belief my eyes?
46795cried Sandy, gripping his brother''s arm convulsively;"did you hear that, Bob?"
46795vat shall be done wiz zem?"
46795what if he gets clear away?"
46795what if we lose them, and have nothing left to follow?
46795what is it, Bob?"
46795why did not Colonel Boone, or Simon Kenton, happen along at the time they were starting?"
