CHAPTER XXXIIIII
lin Which My Friend Becomes My Foe
In the centre of the wigwam the
customary fire 'burned clear and bright
showing the white ma.ts, the dressed
skins, the implements of war hanging
upon the hark walls, -all the .usual
furniture of an Indian dwelling, -and
Showing also N:antlatinuas standing
against the stripped trunk of a pine
that pierced the wigwam from floor
to roof. The fire was between us. He
stood so rigid, at his 'full height, with
Ifo•lded arms and head ,helld high, and
his features were so blank and still, so
forced and frozen, as it were, into
colmpasure, that, with the red light
'beating upon him and the thin smoke
curling above his head, he had the
look of a warrior tied to the stake.
'Nantauquas" I exclaixned, 'and
striding past the fire would have
'touched ;him but thlat with' a slight and
authoritative motion of the hand he
kept me back. Otherwise there was no
change in his position or in the dead
calm of his face.
The Indian maid had cloopp•ed the
.mat at the entrance, and if she wlaited,
waited without in the darlcness. Die -
:con, now staring at the young chief,
Inow eyeing the weapons upon the
wall with all a lover's ,passion, kept
near the doorway. Through the thick-
ness of the bark and woven twigs the
wild cries and singing came to -us
somewhat faintly; beneath that dis-
tant nnise could be heard the wind in
the trees and the soft fail of the burn-
ing pine.
"'Weill" I said at last. "What is the
inatter, my friend?"
For a full minute he made ITO ans-
wer, and when he did speak his voice,
matched his face.
'My friend," he said, "I am going
to show myself a friend indeed to the
Englis'h, to the strangers who were
not content with their own hunting
grounds beyond the great Salt water.
'When I have done this, I do not know
that Captain Percy will call me
'friend' again."
"You were wont to spdak plainly
Nantauquas," I answered him. "I am
not fond of riddles."
Again he waited, as though he
found speech difficult. I stared at him
in amazement, he was so changed in
so short a time.
He spoke at last: "When the dance
is over, and the fires are -low, and the
sunrise is at hand, then will Opeohan-
canaugh came to bid you
'He will give you the pearls that he
;wears about his neck far a present to
the Governor, and a bracelet far your-
self. Aso he will give you three men)
for a guard through the forest. He'
his messages of love to send the white',
men,and he would send them .by you,
who were his enemy and his captive.1
So all the white men Shall believe in
his love."
'Well," I said dryly, as he paused.
"I wilt take his messages, What
"Those are the words Of °pedlar',
eanough. Now listen to the words of
'Nantauquas, the son of Wahunsona-
cock, a war chief of the 'Po'whatanS..
There are two Sharp knives there,
fhlanging beneath the'boW.,' ....and ' the
shield. Take them and hide thein:"
The words were scarcely out of his
Mouth before 'Diceon had the, two
keen English blades. I toak the one
Inc offered me, and hid it in My detulb-
,
'So we go armed, 'N'antautquas," I
said. "Love and peace and goodwill
consort riot 'with such toys."
"You tray want them," Inc .went'on,
With no change in his low: measured
tcines. "If you see aught in the for-
st that you should not see, if they
think you know More than you are
meant to ,know, then those three, who
;1 , have knives and tomahawks, are to
kill you, twhorn they believe unarmed.
"ISee aught that we should not see,
• • know more than we are meant to
• knOwt ?" 11 said. "To the poiint,' friend."
"They :will go 'slowly, too, 1through
Inc forest to Jamestown, stopping to
eat ,and to sleep., For them there is no
Peed' to• :run like the stag with the
hunter lbehind him." • •
"Then we should make for 'James-
town as for life," I waid, '''n'ot sleep-
ing or eating or .nraking pause ?"
"Yea," Inc'replied, "if you would
not che, you .aud all your people."
In the silence of the hut the 'fire
crackled, and the brianclhe.s of the
trees outside, bent by th,e Wind, made
a grating sound against the 'bark roof.
"How ,clie ?" I asked t lirat. "Speak
out 1"
"Die by the arrow and, the tame-
,howfk," he answered, -"yea, and Iby

duhiy,•"There are three thousand ,Eng-
lishmen in Virginia."
"They are scattered and unwarned.
The !fighting men of .the villages af
the Powhatan and the Pamunkey and
the great bay are many, and they
have sharpened their hatchets. and
filled their quivers with arrows'''.
"Scattered," fl said, "Strewn broad-
cast up and dawn the river, ---here a
lonely house, there a cluster of two

ricus off guard, -the ,nten in the fields
or at the wharves, the women and the
children busy within doors, all un -

Diccon strode over from the door-
way to the fire. "We'd ,besit 'be going,
I reckon, sir," Inc cried. 'Or ylou wait
until morning; then there'll be two
chalices. Now that I've a ,knife, I'm
thinking II can .give account of one of
them damned sentries, at least. ,Once
clear of them" -11 ,
.shook my head, and the Indian
too made a gesture of dissent "You
would only Inc the first to die."
I leaned against the side ,of the hut,
for my heart beat like a frightened
,woirtan's. "Three days!' I exclaimed
("If

His 'heart was moved, asisi he talked

'Inc spoke to me tot/. Powthatan, nny

the Indian, "Long •ago, when there
were nope rbot dark men from the
Chesapeake to the hunting grounds
beneath the sunset, we were happy.
WIhy did you leave your own land,
in the strange black ships with sails
like •the piled -up clouds of summer ?
Was it not a good land ? Were not
your forests broad and green, your

more what evil you .have done him."
'I will not call you 'traitor,' Nan-
tatiquas," I said, after a pause. "There
is a difference. You are not the first
child of Powhatan who has loved and
shielded the white men."
"She was a women, a child," he an-
swered. "Out of ,pity she saved your
lives, not knowing that it was to the
hurt of her people. Then you were

your revenge. Now, if you die not, you
will drink deep of vengeance, -so deer)

you will grow ever stronger. There
may come a moon when the deep for-
ests and the shining rivers know us,

and eyes that seemed to pierce .the
wall and look coot into -the unfathom-
able distances, ""Gol" Inc said at last.

,The pause and hush. died not last.
When the ruffled pools arnid the
marshes were rosy beneath the sun-
rise, the women brought us food, and
the warriors• and old men gathered
about us. They sat upon mats o:r bil-
lets .olf .wodd, and I offered them bread
and nteat, and told them 'they must
come to 'Jamestown to taste of Inct

face, tfrom temple to chin,' was a bar
