The In- illilll’. were content to let David finish thus giving Duncan time t0 hm a rours" of action. When David llflitkl zind saw the bear, terror took hold oi hi. timid frame and he lied from the cave uttering thcse u . hand." CHAPTER. N. For it moment all was silent ex- tout the low grouiiiig of the bear. ‘ih n the Chief stepped forward and said: “Now let my snow his power”. Duncan stepped forward to make some show at con- juring the evil s irit; but the growls from the bear cams more per- slstctit. Finally the Chief, think- ing the bear to be a medicine man, VtllllFiUlWV and left Duncan and lliuvkcyc (for Hawkeye was the bear) to themselves. Hawkeye re- Iated how he had assumed this tlisgillse and ur ed Duncan to go to Alict. Duncan ound Alice in an apartment filled with loot from William Henry. In the joy of.’ their meeting, they did not hear foot- steps until Magua placed his hand on Duncan's shoulder. When all scented hopelessly lost, the bear ap- .ear;'d and Mfiua was caught. ound, and gagg . Alice was wrap- ped iii an Indian shawl, and was carried by Duncan out of the cave. AL the mouth of the cave, he was met by the Chief and relatives of the sick woman but deceived them successfully by telling them that he liad driven tho evil spirltput of the woman nnd was now taking her to the woods where she would become strong again. The evil spirit was locked up in the cave and no one must enter to let him out. This sat- isfied the Indians and the bear and Duncan were allowed to go. When they came some distance from the camp l-lznvks-vs halted and showed Duncan whore to take Alice, and he, himself returned to the village in order to make an attempt to res- cue Uticus. CHAPTER. M. Hawiceye fully understood the dangers that confronted him, but no dnctliestitate. He ade his uuj.’ ll) a hut on the cursklrts of- thc village from which aufaint light glimmered. Here he was sur rlsed to find David who was ser ousl)’ pondering over the actions of the strange bear which he had fled from in the cavern. Hawkeye calm- etl D‘.

L. rd told the braves that this sonar-er had come to take the haughtiness out of the Mohawk so that he would become as cowardly as a squaw; but he warned the braves that thcv must withdraw a. respectable distance because some of the breath from the magician migrht reach them and they would meet the same fate as Uncas.

Daylight had lust dawned at the camp of the Delawores. A casu observer could see that there was a certain tenseness among the tribes- mcn as if they expected some un- forseen event. When daylight 118d advanced ii bit farther. a figure was seen u. emerge from the woods and make his way slowl to the tent of the Chief. The fgure was Magus. Alter the two Chiefs had dined tlcy Iwzrm their battle of’ wits. Just when Ma ua seemed to be loosing. he pro ueed presents for the various Chiefs. That put them in a different mood. A gen- eral meeting was called of fall the ~1 '1 ‘$110 exikwls Wu- “m! is ac] last resort she asked that Uncas be al the mountain side. B0 fut Ill Inge every person ltrlialtiisn “m. . was per place. But still the meeting dfio not oegm. Soon the reason for tho do- liiy was explained. FPOm a hut in the centre of the village three men Bmerked: 0118 was extremely old. ‘The three men reached the meat- lng place and were pa the ro- specis due to their an and station of life. The old man made a. sign to one of the warriors who disappear- ed among the crowd to do the bid- ding of the great Chief Soon he ag- tribesmen And woman. this l peared bruiging with him the o jects of the meeting. (MAPTER l9. Uncas was not. with them; but Cora Alice, Duncan and Hawkeye lwere brought to trial. After the customary silence, one of the Chiefs asked which was Hawkeye. Duncan sensing that some harm was about to befall Hawkeye, said that he was the person. But Magus said otherwise. The Delewares. un- able to tell who was lying, sub- jected both to a test of skill. After the test was over, Magua spoke and told the tribe what he wanted. Af- ter his speech. the old patriarch who's name was Tamehand, com- manded that Magua take his Dri- soriers and o. Cora then began to plead for tIiem and finally fer Alice alone. but to no avail. As a. brouxhc to speak to the tribe. Tho old Chief asked who he was, and commanded. that he be brought. CHAPTER 30. Uncas was brought before the old Chief. Upon being asked what language he spoke. replied that ho spoke the language of the Delo- wares. This was disturbing u; tho Delaware Indians who immediately branded Uncas as a traitor. The old Patriarch was deceived also and ordered that Uncas be put to death, whereupon one warrior seized him and violently tore the shirt from his back. There tattooed in blue on his chest was a wrto-se, symbol of tho leaders of the De-ewares. The au- dience was mystfied and Uncas wok advantage of their amazement to declare who he was and how no came there. Magus u-aftly noting this int .take her and go. Hawkeye offered to so in Cora/s stead but the offer Was refused- Magus ook Cora and left vowing vengeance on the wbolo Delaware. (XIAPTEB II So long as the enemy and his victim were in sight no one moved; but the instant he disappeared, the mass became frenzied with wrath and indignation. Uncas left the mob and withdrew to his hut and thither most of the important Chiefs went too, After s time one Chief came from the hut and went to the nearest tree and stripped it of its bark.

The various Slimak having been arranged, Hawkeve and his party set off. CHAPTER-IE. The Indians were divided into two parties; Uncas leading one, Hawk- eve the other.
