"You condemn me without a hearing, swayed by the influence of a carefully educated dislike," retorts he: When he returned with his daughters they skinned the cow and cut it up and, carrying it, went home. The young man had his wives leave the meat at his own lodge and told his father-in-law to go home. He did not give him even a little piece of the meat. The two older daughters gave their parents nothing to eat, but sometimes the youngest one had pity on them and took a piece of meat and, when she could, threw it into the lodge to the old people.

"Well, no; but I dare say I shall before I am done with you. Besides, it occurred to me I might as well have a last look at you before consigning my body to the grave." The two were standing in plain sight of the camp and the people in it, and some one went to the chief's lodge and told him what was taking place. "And when she sees you all will be well," he says, still clinging bravely to his faith in this panacea for all evils. "Everything rests with you.' With mingled feelings he quits his home, and all the way up to London in the afternoon train weighs with himself the momentous question whether he shall or shall not accept the unwilling invitation to the Towers, wrung from his mother..
