After a short pause he continued,--

"The chief is wrong when he says there are Pale-faces

in the Peigan camp. The Peigans are not

at war with the Pale-faces; neither have they seen

any on their march. The camp is open. Let the

Pale-faces look round and see that what we say is

true."

The chief waved his hand towards his warriors as he

concluded, as if to say, "Search amongst them. There

are no Pale-faces there."
