Chapter VI
“Yes, my daughter!” answered the chieftain, springing to his feet. Though asleep, his ear was ever alert. Thus rushing out into the open, he listened for strange sounds. With an eagle eye he scanned the camp ground for some sign. Returning he said: “My daughter, I hear nothing and see no sign of evil nigh.”
