CHAPTER XII

No one but Wood Pigeon observed
the faintness which came over Toi-
nette. Some force had drawn smoth-
ering curtain about her making it diff
1cult to see or breathe. When the
shock passed, they were standing alone
with the mob closing in behind Tiaoga
and his single captive. Its pent-up
emotion burst loose in a pandemonium,
and amid the excitement Toinette
went back to the cabin which Jeems
had built near Tiaogas tepee
At first she had regretted the alb
sence of Jeems, but now she was glad
he was gone for the increasing tumult
in the village, the chanting of death
songs by the women, the screaming of
children, and the yelling Of savages
who were working themselves into
frenzy Of rage about the fire which
would soon receive Its victim terrified
her with the growing conviction that
nothing could save his uncle If Jeems
had been there, she knew he would
not have seen Hepsibah Adams put to
death without struggle fatal to him
self. This thought, together with the
reflection that it was a fortunate
chance which had sent him away,
strengthened her determination to help
Hepsibah, and she watched with Wood
Pigeon until she saw the chief enter
his tepee. Then she hurried to him,
with Wood Pigeon and Odd following
her.
Tiaoga's greeting held no promise.
The Seneca folded his arms across his
breast and regarded her calmly, re-
vealing no gentle aspect as he spoke
few words in acknowledgment of
her visit. That his prisoner bore the
same relationship to Jeems which he
bore to Shindas and that the man
about to die was loved by Silver
Heels brought no surprise or hestita-
ton to his face. He waited patiently
for her to finish, then shook his head
and pointed through the door to the
shadows gathering in the path Of the
setting sun. He stated coldly that the
prisoner must die. His people de-
manded that the spirit Of the white
man who had slain three of his war
riors be destroyed in flames. They
would wait until it was dark, which
was the tribal custom. Then the pris-
oner would be brought from the tepee
in which he was lying bound, and the
fire would be lighted.
If it were her desire, she might talk
with Jeems' uncle, Tiaoga said. He
was looking into the twilight when he
made this concession. The Indian
women at the farther end of the viii
lage were chanting more loudly as
darkness came on.
Tiaoga spoke again.
She must hurry. 1t was growing
late. The captive was in All De Bah's

at the head of the waiting lines when
Tiaoga and the remnant Of his band
came over the hill and across the
fields. Shlndas had said there was to
be no physical demonstration against
the prisoner, who was to be kept
strong for torture at the stake. Toi-
nette shivered. It was different
homecoming this time. The people
were like tigers holding their passions
in leash. There was something de-
moniac in the faces of the children.
Even the eyes of those whose loved
deep-seated fire Of hatred. Tiaoga
came. His face was like mask OF
rock as he passed so near that Toi-
nette might have touched him. The
prisoner followed. His clothes were
torn from the upper part Of his body.
He was powerfully built man with
great hands and wide shoulders. On
each side Of him walked warrior, for
he was blind and needed guidance.
His empty eye sockets, hidden by
dropping lids, gave to his round red
face the appearance Of one walking
in CHASTITY sleep. Yet he was not
overcome by the enormity Of the
catastrophe which had befallen him,
nor did he betray fear of what lay
ahead. He sensed the presence of the
people and held his head high as If
trying to see them. 1t was a bald
head.
Toinette swayed backward and
keep herself from falling.
The prisoner was Hepsibah Adams.

 Broadly speaking, materia med ica treats of the sources of drugs, physical and chemical properties, and physiological actions. But in the present instance, some aspects will be omitted.
 Chinkat: roots of parsely was boiled and used as a food; when powdered, was used as hot poul- tices for swellings.
 Atunat: oxys or wood sorrel, powdered and boiled was used as an enemic; was also occasionally used as laxative.
 Chavyhkat, lesser celandine: a decoction made from its roots was considered an excellent purgative; when eaten raw, it is beneficial In constipation, which follows as . consequence from the immoderate uses of n,alina (salmon berries, or salmon berry wine.)

Before the censors viewed the
