Ah
!
had
I
that
piece
which
furnished
the
name
you
use
,
I
would
obligate
myself
to
cut
the
thong
,
and
drop
the
gourd
without
breaking
it
!
"
returned
Hawkeye
,
perfectly
undisturbed
by
the
other
's
manner
,
"
Fools
,
if
you
would
find
the
bullet
of
a
sharpshooter
of
these
woods
,
you
must
look
in
the
object
and
not
around
it
!
"
The
Indian
youths
instantly
comprehended
his
meaning
--
for
this
time
he
spoke
in
the
Delaware
tongue
--
and
tearing
the
gourd
from
the
tree
,
they
held
it
on
high
with
an
exulting
shout
,
displaying
a
hole
in
its
bottom
,
which
had
been
cut
by
the
bullet
,
after
passing
through
the
usual
orifice
in
the
centre
of
its
upper
side
.
At
this
unexpected
exhibition
,
a
loud
and
vehement
expression
of
pleasure
burst
from
the
mouth
of
every
warrior
present
.
It
decided
the
question
,
and
effectually
established
Hawkeye
in
the
possession
of
his
dangerous
reputation
.
Those
curious
and
admiring
eyes
which
had
been
turned
again
on
Heyward
,
were
finally
directed
to
the
weather-beaten
form
of
the
scout
,
who
immediately
became
the
principal
object
of
attention
to
the
simple
and
unsophisticated
beings
by
whom
he
was
surrounded
.
When
the
sudden
and
noisy
commotion
had
a
little
subsided
,
the
aged
chief
resumed
his
examination
.
"
Why
did
you
wish
to
stop
my
ears
?
"
he
said
,
addressing
Duncan
;
"
are
the
Delawares
fools
,
that
they
could
not
know
the
young
panther
from
the
cat
?
"
"
They
will
yet
find
the
Huron
a
singing-bird
,
"
said
Duncan
,
endeavoring
to
adopt
the
figurative
language
of
the
natives
.
"
It
is
good
.
We
will
know
who
can
shut
the
ears
of
men
.
Brother
,
"
added
the
chief
,
turning
his
eyes
on
Magua
,
"
the
Delawares
listen
.
"
Thus
singled
,
and
directly
called
on
to
declare
his
object
,
the
Huron
arose
;
and
advancing
with
great
deliberation
and
dignity
into
the
very
centre
of
the
circle
,
where
he
stood
confronted
to
the
prisoners
,
he
placed
himself
in
an
attitude
to
speak
.
Before
opening
his
mouth
,
however
,
he
bent
his
eyes
slowly
along
the
whole
living
boundary
of
earnest
faces
as
if
to
temper
his
expressions
to
the
capacities
of
his
audience
.
On
Hawkeye
he
cast
a
glance
of
respectful
enmity
;
on
Duncan
,
a
look
of
inextinguishable
hatred
;
the
shrinking
figure
of
Alice
he
scarcely
deigned
to
notice
;
but
when
his
glance
met
the
firm
,
commanding
,
and
yet
lovely
form
of
Cora
,
his
eye
lingered
a
moment
,
with
an
expression
that
it
might
have
been
difficult
to
define
.
Then
,
filled
with
his
own
dark
intentions
,
he
spoke
in
the
language
of
the
Canadas
,
a
tongue
that
he
well
knew
was
comprehended
by
most
of
his
auditors
.
"
The
Spirit
that
made
men
colored
them
differently
,
"
commenced
the
subtle
Huron
.
"
Some
are
blacker
than
the
sluggish
bear
.
These
He
said
would
be
slaves
;
and
He
ordered
them
to
work
forever
,
like
the
beaver
.
You
may
hear
them
groan
,
when
the
south
wind
blows
,
louder
than
the
lowing
buffaloes
,
along
the
shores
of
the
great
salt
lake
,
where
the
big
canoes
come
and
go
with
them
in
droves
.
Some
He
made
with
faces
paler
than
the
ermine
of
the
forests
:
and
these
He
ordered
to
be
traders
;
dogs
to
their
women
,
and
wolves
to
their
slaves
.
He
gave
this
people
the
nature
of
the
pigeon
:
wings
that
never
tire
;
young
,
more
plentiful
than
the
leaves
on
the
trees
,
and
appetites
to
devour
the
earth
.
He
gave
them
tongues
like
the
false
call
of
the
wild-cat
;
hearts
like
rabbits
;
the
cunning
of
the
hog
(
but
none
of
the
fox
)
,
and
arms
longer
than
the
legs
of
the
moose
.
With
his
tongue
,
he
stops
the
ears
of
the
Indians
;
his
heart
teaches
him
to
pay
warriors
to
fight
his
battles
;
his
cunning
tells
him
how
to
get
together
the
goods
of
the
earth
;
and
his
arms
inclose
the
land
from
the
shores
of
the
salt-water
to
the
islands
of
the
great
lake
.
His
gluttony
makes
him
sick
.
God
gave
him
enough
,
and
yet
he
wants
all
.
Such
are
the
pale-faces
.
