What are these?" Nam asked.
Just something that I picked up
Ital said. Il thought you might like
to see them"
Nam looked at them carefully and
saw that the piece of fringe was sewed
to the bit Of deerskin and that the
feathers were fastened in the same way
to the strip of hide that held them.
What else did you see where you
found these?" said Nam.
/ didn't see anything; didn't look, "
replied Ital.
They are part of the war dress OF
the Red Men," said Nam. Probably
the person who brought them was torn
to pieces by the wolf pack"
1tal was very much surprised. but
when he. examined the, skin and the
feathers again he came to the same
conclusion that Nam had reached
II don't understand that" he re-
piled, stretching himself down as usual
for his nap.
"Of course not" Nam replied. you
don't understand 1t because you will
not take the trouble to think about it
These things mean that a Red Man has
been here and that he was probably a
scout, or else that he had strayed away
from his companions. In either case
the main body of the Red Men can not
be far away"
Ital decided not to go to sleep after
all. He sat up and at last was quite
willing to listen to what Nam had to
say.
1t was decided that they should not
wait to be attacked by the Red Men
but that they should persuade their
cousins, the Cliff Dwe1lers, to join them
and that they should all journey south
to find the strange people known as
the AZtecS, Ital. as usual made Soma
objection.
They could never get at us in these
houses he said. Even the wolf pack
could not do that
They are more cunning than the
wolves Nam replied, "for they are not
beasts, but men. Moreover, they can
climb and they know how to make fire
instead of being afraid OF it. as the
wolves were. And you must remember
that there is hardly anything left to
eat in the storehouses, so that we could
not hide ourselves as we did in the
winter unless we are ready to starve to
DEATH.
81 had not thought of that" said
Ital. I'VE will do what you think
best
But while Ital was persuaded it was
not so easy to persuade the Cliff Dwell
ers, who for so many years had lived
secure in their houses of stone that
they did not think 1t possible for an
enemy to reach them there. So when
Nam told them that it would be neces-
sary for them to leave their homes
they held many councils to talk about
it, but they did not do anything
1T is possible that they might have
decided in the end to stay where they
were had not something happened to
show them that Nam was right. There

had watched this stream during the
