As he opened his eyes a mild voice said: "And so Dagaeoga who went, no one knows where, has returned no one knows how." Tayoga, smiling but grave, and looking taller and more majestic than ever, stood before him.
"Aye, I'm back, and right glad I am to be here!" exclaimed Robert, springing to his feet and seizing Tayoga's hand.

"Oh, I've been on a long voyage, Tayoga! I've been to the coast of Africa on a slaver, though we caught no slaves, and I was wrecked on the coast of Acadia, and I fought and walked my way back to New York! But it's a long tale, and I'll not tell it till all of you are together.

I hope you were not too much alarmed about me, Tayoga." "I know that Dagaeoga is in the keeping of Manitou.

I have seen too many proofs of it to doubt.

I was sure that at the right time he would return." Mr.Hardy came presently and then Willet.
