The Lenni-Lenape, who looked as if he might have been when in health a strong and agile warrior, said that news had reached him through the Wyandots of the great war to be waged by the Iroquois on the white settlements, and the spirits would not let him rest unless he bore his part in it.

He prayed therefore to be accepted among them.
Much food was given to the brave Lenni-Lenape, and he was sent to a lodge to rest.

To-morrow he would be well, and he would be welcomed to the ranks of the Cayugas, a Younger nation.

But when the morning came, the lodge was empty.

The sick Lenni-Lenape was gone, and with him the boy, Paul, the youngest of the prisoners.
