the voice of authority. But years had
now passed; and he prayed in secret
for another sign to bolster up his
wavcriug strength. q.

farther n the wilderness, reared
their cabins in greater and greater
numbers in the red mans forest, bar
tered and bought larger and larger
territories from the stupid savage, who
reached out eagerly for a handful of
toys, u jug of the white mans fiery
drink, and gave in return the countless
acres of his hunting ground. But now
for years his dumb resentment grew
more and more bitter. To Tecumseh
and his brother, Elkskatawa, the
Prophet, the red men looked inpatient
ly for a leadership which should re-
strain the e~ncroaching settler, or
which might even regain for them
their lost lands.
The young warriors could not wait
for council here and there they struck
down u settler, took a woman captive,
dashed out the brains of a child, and
hurried back into the forest. To Har-
rison in Vincennes came Tecumseh
for council and promised redress; then
slipped away to the South, down the
great river, to the tribes along the
Gulf, to implore them to stand with
their brothers of the North against the
white mans advance. The Prophet
meanwhile remained at his village, 100
