Dayohogo did not take his eyes from the speaker, following all his words, and the warriors, lying on their elbows, watched him and believed what he said.

When he stopped the chief and all the warriors together uttered a deep exclamation of approval.
"You are called Lennox," said Dayohogo, "and after the white custom it is the only name that you have ever had, but we have a better way.

When a warrior distinguishes himself greatly we give him a new name, which tells what he has done.

Hereafter, Lennox, you will be known to the Ganeagaono as Dagaeoga, which is the name of a great chief of the clan of the Turtle, of our nation." "I thank you much, Dahoyogo," said Robert, earnestly, knowing that a high honor was conferred upon him.

"I shall try to deserve in some small way the great name you have conferred upon me." "One can but do his best," said the Mohawk gravely.
But Willet rejoiced openly in the distinction that had been bestowed upon his young comrade, saying that some day it might be carried out with formal ceremonies by the Mohawk nation, and was a fact of great value.
