sonorous Ojibway. Dropping _ his
blanket at his feet Chief Mistainninew
rose to his full height, his coppery
countenance creased with anger.

“What has the Great White Father
across the Gitchee Gumee to do with
the children of the Miquamapinuk?”
he fixed smouldering eyes upon the
Mountie. “This is the country of the
Ansinabeg, where they know only the
laws of the Ancients. Why should I
go with you to the Stone House of the
Shimaginashuk? Here are three score
young men who do not desire that I
should go. Outside are many others,
each with a loaded gun. If I but say
the word they'll kill you, and the half-
breed Atimocosisanuk who lick your
hands, and cast your bodies to the
camp dogs... .”

Black Witchcraft and Paganism

For two hours the epic battle of
wits was fought in the flickering fire-
light of that smoky lodge in the heart
of Keewatin’s forested fastnesses. Black
witchcraft and paganism, their roots
deep-sunk in the dim ages, were
arrayed against the forces of the
white man’s Jaw and _ civilization.
Forces that seemed absurdly puny to
those superstitious fanatics whose

sinewy fingers toyed with the triggers
of their loaded muskets.

tainninew thrust out his wrists in
token of surrender. “Miway—put
those irons on my wrists, Shagonash,”
he heaved a guttural sigh. “I am old,
Many winters have left their snows
upon my head, and I desire not to
bring trouble to my people. I and my
brother, Pecequan, will go with you,
You are a brave young man. Miway—
I have spoken!”

Surrounded by a horde of mutter-
ing Saulteaux whose forefathers, un-
der Chief Pontiac, had laid seige to
Detroit, burned Michillimackinac to
the ground and all but driven the
English from the Great Lakes, they
singled out Angus Rae and Norman
Fiddler. Knowing that any moment
might yet bring these savages upon
them like a nest of hornets, they made
swift but unhurried preparations
for departure.

Milled about by hostile Indians and
snapping curs, with _ shrill-voiced
squaws urging young bucks to rescue
their “uncles,” Mistainninew and
Pecequan were led down to the ice.
