"Impossible," says Mona. "I will help you. Bring only a knife." One of them, called Fox Eye, was a brave man, and shouted to the others to stop and wait, saying, "Let us fight these people; the Snakes are not brave; we can drive them back." But the other Piegans would not listen to him; they made excuses, saying, "We have no shields; our war medicine is not here; there are many of them; why should we stop here to die?" They ran on to the camp, but Fox Eye would not run. Hiding behind a rock he prepared to fight, but as he was looking for some enemy to shoot at, holding his arrow on the string, a Snake had crept up on the bank above him; the Piegan heard the twang of the bowstring, and the long, fine arrow passed through his body. His bow and arrow dropped from his hands, and he fell forward, dead. Now, too late, the warriors came rushing out from the Piegan camp to help him, but the Snakes scalped their enemy, scattered up the mountain, and soon were hidden in the timber..

"Oh, no! it is not that! you must know it is not that," says Mona, in deep grief. "It is that I cannot marry you!" "That word should never have been said. It is better broken." "Very," returns he, surprised. He has not thought of her as one versed in lore of any kind. "What poets do you prefer?" "It is for my sake; but it will break my heart.".
