Johnson.
(Continued from last week.)
It was now 'moonlight without the
lodge and very q'ui'et. ;The night eros
:far ,gone; already we could smell the
morning, and it would come apace.
'Knowing the swiftness of that ap-
proach, and what the early light would
bring, I strove: for a courage .which
should be ,the steadfastness of the
Ohris'tian, and midi the vainglorious
pride Of the (heathen, V my thoughts
wandered, if her face would, come
athwart the verses I tried to remem-
ber, the prayer ,I tried to frame, per -
,haps He who •made her lovely under-
stood and 'forgave. I said the prayer
lI used to say when lI was a .ohdld, and
wished with alt my heart for Jeremy.
;Suddenly, in the first gray dawn,
as at a trumpet's call, the v'ill'age
'awoke. From the long, 'cdmmunal
'houses .poured ,florth men, women, and
'children; fires sprang 'op, dispersing
the mist, and a 'commotion arose
'through ,the length and breadth of the
'place. The .women made haste with
their cooking, and 'bore maize cakes
and 'broiled -fish to the warriors who
sat on the ground in front of the roy-
al lodge. Diccon and I were loosed,
lbrough•t without, and allotted' our
share of the 'flood. We ate sitting side
by side with our captors, and Di m
with a great cut across his head, seiz-
ed the Indian girl who brought him
his platter of fish, and pulling her
down beside him kissed her sound-
ly, whereat the maid seemed not ill
pleased and the warriors laughed.
lin the usual order df things, the
meal aver, tobacco Should have . fol-
lowed. But naw not a pipe was lit,
and the women made haste to take
away the platters and to get all things
in readiness. Tihe werowance of the
Paspaheghs rose to his feet, cast aside
his mantle, and 'began to speak. He
was a man in the prime of lite, of a
great figure, strong as a Susgne-
hannock, and a savage cruet and draf-
ty beyond measure. Over his breast,
stained with strange figures, hung a
!chain of •small bones, and the 'scalp
Jocks of' his enemies fringed his mos-
casins. His tribe being ,the nearest to
(Jamestown, and in frequent alterca-
tion with us, I bad heatd him speak
many times, and knew his power over
the passions of his people. No player
could he more skillful in gesture and
expression, no poet more •nice in the
.choice of words, no general more
quick to raise a •wild enthusiasm in
the soldiers to whom he called. All
!Indians are .eloquent, but this sav-
age was a leader among ,them.
He spoke ,now to some effeot. 'Com-
mencing with a day in the moon ,f
blossoms when for .the first time wing-
ed canoes brought white men into the
IPerwha'tan, he ,came down through
year after year to the :present .hour,
ceased, and stood in silence, regarding
his trittnt h. It was complete. In its
wild excitement the Village was ready
then and there to make an end of us
who had :sprung to our 'feet and stood
with our backs against a great bay
tree, facing the maddened throng. So
much the 'best for us would it ,be if
the tomahawks left the hands that
were drawn back to throw, if the
knives that were flourished in our
faces should be buried to the 'haft in
our 'hearts, that we ,courted.. death,
Striving with word and look to infuri-
ate our •executioners to the p'in't of
!forgetting their former purpose in the
lust for instant vengeance. 1I't ,was not
to he. 'Th'e 'werowance spoke again,
.poinein'g to the 'hills with the black
houses up'ori them, dimly seen
through : the mist..A ,moment, and the
,handsclen'chedt upon .the weapons
'fell; another, andd we were upon the
march.
iAs one man, the 'village •swept
through the forest toward the. rising
.ground that •wa's but a 'few bowshiots
away. The young men 'bounded .ahead
to make preparation; but the approv-
ed warriors and the ,old :men. went
more sedately, and with them Walked
Diccon and '1, as steady of .steep as
they. The women and :Children for
etre most part !brought up the rear,
though a few impatient hags ran past
us, calling the men tortoises who
would never reach ,the goal. One of
these women bore a great 'burning
torch, the flame and smoke streaming
over her shoulder as she ran. Others
!carried ,pieces of bark heaped with the
slivers of pine Of which every wig-
wam has store.
The sun was yet to rise wth n ,we
reached a hallow a'mon'gst the low red
hil'l's, Above us were the three long
houses in which they keep the •image
of Okee and ,the mummies of their
kings. These temples ,faced.the scrim-
son east, and the mist was yet a'bout
them. Hideous 'figures, painted over
with strange devices, the stuffed skins
of snakes knotted about their heads,
in their hands great .rattles which
they shook vehemently„ rushed
through the •doors and dawn the bank
to meet us, and began to n1ance around
us, contorting their bodies, 'ehrawing
up their arms, and making a hellish
noise. Diccon stared at them, shrug-
ged his shoulders, and with a grunt
of •contempt sat down upon a fallen
tree to watch the enemys man-
oeuvres.
The place was a natural am'p'hi-
thearte, well fitted for a epectacte.
ITihose Indians who could not crowd
into the narrow level spread them-
selves over the rising ground, and
looked down with 'fierce laughter
upon the driving of the stakes 'Which
the young men brought. The women
and children scattered into ,the 'woods
beyond the cleft !between the 1dlis, and
returned bearing great armfuls Of dry
branches. The hollow rang .to the ex-
ultation of the playgoers. Taunting
laughter, cries of savage triumph, the
shaking of the rattles, and the furious
beating of two great drums combined
to make a clamor deafening 'to stupor.
And above the hollow was the angry
reddening of the heavens, and the
white mist curling up dike smoke.
II sat dawn 'beside Diccon bn the
lag. Beneath it there were growing
tufts of a pale 'blue, slender -stemmed
flower. 1 plucked a handful elf the
blossoms, .and ,thought how 'blue 'they
wauid look against 'the Whiteness of
her 'hand; then dropped them in a
sudden shame' that in that hour I
was to little 'Steadfast to things which
twere not of earth. I did not s'peak
to Diccon, nor he to me. ,There seem-
ed no need 'of speech. In the 'pande-
moniu'm to Wh'ic'h 'the world had
narrowed, the one familiar, matter -Of -
course •thing was thatan,d :I were
to die 'together.
The stakes were lin the ground
and painted ,ted, the wood properly
arranged. The :Indian 'woman : who
'held the torch 'that was to tight the
pile ran past us, whirling :the wood
around her head 'to ,m'a'ke 5't 'blaze
more fiercely. As she went by she
towered the !brand' add slowly drag-
ged it across my wrists. The beating
'of the drums suddenly ceased, and
the loud voices died away. To Indians
no music is so sweet as the cry of an
enemy; if they have wrung 111 horn a
'brave men who has striven to endure,
so much the better, 'Tlhey were very
still now, because they 'would not
lose so mulch as a drawling in Of the
breath:
Seeing that they were 'odm,ing for
us, Diccon and I rose to await them,
When they were nearly upon us I
tanned to 'hien and held ,dolt :my 'hand,
He made no motion to take it. In-
stead he stood with 'fixed eyes look-
ing past me and' sl'ightl'y u'p'w'ar'ds.
A s'ud'den pallor had 'overspread the
(bronze of his 'face. 'There's 'a verse
somewhere," he said in a genet voice,
—,"it's in the Bible, I ,think,—II heard
it once long ago, before 1 was ;last:
'I will look unto the bills from
whence 'come't'h' shy help' — Look
sir I"
R 'bu,rned and followed with my
eyes the pointing df isle finger. In
front off us the 'b'a'nk dose steeply,
'bare to the 'summit,—no 'threes, only
the red earth, with here and there a
low growth • of dea'flesls 'bashes. 'Be -
'hind it was the eastern 's'ky. •Upon, etre
crest, against the sunrise, stood the
figure .of •a Iran,—an Ind'ian. Prom
one shoulder 'hung an. ,otterskitr, an'd
a great bow was in lis hand. His
limb's were (bare, and as he stood nl'o
tionlesie, bathed iso 'the'rros'y light, he
looked like some bronze, gad, perfect;
from the 'headed moccasins to the
Icalm, meager 'face 'below the feath-
ered headdress.1H'e had but jest risen!
al}ave the brow of the '''ill; ,the In-
dians in (the 'holllow. saw 'him not,
Whine Dieoan and II 'stared Our tor-
m'en'tors 'were upon us. (They came a
dozen Or more at once, and: we had
not 'wea'p;ons. Two hung ;upon 'my
arms, while a third laid 'hold of my
dou'bl'et to rend it from Ime. An arrow
'whistled lover .out heads. and, stu'ok
into a'' tree (behind outs. 'The hands that
cluttclhed .me 'dropped, and with a yell
;the •b'u'sy throng turned their faces in,

That /Indian' ,whto had sent that dart
before him was' des'cendin'gthe hank.
Ala 'in'stant's breathless Mash while
they stared at ,the ,s'dlitary fi'gu're;
then the dark` form's- 'bent forward
for 'tide rush straightened, and there
arose a 1!oud eeryof relcogn'ltio'n. "The
son of (Powhatan 1 'The son of Pdty-
hatan 1"
lHe came !do'w•n the ;hillside to the
level of the 'hollow, the authority Of
This look and Igesiture making way for
him through the ,crowd that surged
this way and that, and walked' up to
us where' we stood, 'h'e'mmed round,
but .no longer in the •clutdh Of our
enemies. "It was a very .big wolf this
time, Oap'tain 'Percy;' he !said.
"You' were never more wel:come,,
Nlaantattquas," I answered, "—un'les's,
indeed, the wolf intends .making a
meal af_three instead Of two,"
He 'sm'iled. "The 'wol'f will go hun-
gry
gry to -dray." Taking my hand inhis
he turned to his frdwnin'g country-
m'e'n. "Men ort the Pamunkeys I" he
cried, "`This is Nantauqu'as' friend,
and so the friend of all the tr'i'bes
that 'called IPo'whatan 'father.' The ;fire
is not for him nor for his servant;
keep it for the 'Mon'acan's and for the
dogs of the ,Long House ! The calu-
met is for the friend oif N'anrtauquas,
and the dance of the .maiden's, the
noblest buck and, the hest of the
weirs" .
There was a surging forward of the
Indians, and a fierce murmur of .dis-
sent. The wero'wan'ce, stan'din'g out
from the 'throng, lifted his voice.
"There was a time," he cried, "When
Nantauquas •was the .panther crouch-
ed upon the 'bo'ugh above the leader
of the herd; naw ,Nan'tau,quas is a
tame panther and roll's at the whi'te's
men's feet 1 There was a time when
the word or the son Of ,Powlh!atan
weighed more than the ,Dives of many
dogs such as these, but now I know
not why we should put out ,the fire
at his command 1 He is war chief no

'We will give to this one w'h'at fuel
we choose, and to-nigh't N'antauquas

men 1"•
He ended, an.d a ;great clamor arose.
The Paspahegh's would have cast
themselves upon us again but for a
sudden action' of the young dhief, who
had stood motionless, with' raised
'head and un'm'oved ,face, during the
werowance's 'bitter speech. Now he
flung 'up his hand, and in it was a
bracelet .Of gold carved and twisted
like a' coiled snake and"`' set with a
green shone, fi had ,never seen 'the toy
before, but evidently others 'had done
so. The excited voices fell, and the
In'dia'ns, Pamunkeys ,and Paspalheghs
alike, stood as though turned to stone,
;Nlan'tauquas Smiled 'coldly. 'This
day 'bath Opectancan'ou!gh :made ni•e

ing. (Will you, when you 'lie at bis
feet, that he ask yeti, 'Where is the
friend df .my friend, of my war .tial,

!There came a long, deep breath
from the Indian's, then a silence, in
whieh t'h!ey fell back, Isilnwly and
sullenly';` Whipped hounds, llyut with
the will to break that leash df fear,
'"H'a'rk 1" said 'Nantau!q'v'as, s'mfl

The noise df 'many 'footsteps 'was in-
deed .audri'ble, corning towards the hod -
lo'w froim' the i Loons be io;n'd. With, a
burst of cries, the leaders and' the
conjurer 'w'hiatled away .to bear the

He 'spoke simply, out of the no'b'il-
ity of his nature, 'believing in his Own

more knowledge of men. and !the
