The runner touched Joe.
"No, no.

I am not the missionary," cried Joe, staring aghast at his brother.

"Jim, have you lost your senses ?" Jim sadly shook his head, and turning to Wingenund made known in a broken Indian dialect that his brother was the missionary, and would sacrifice himself, taking this opportunity to practice the Christianity he had taught.
"The white father is brave, but he is known," broke in Wingenund's deep voice, while he pointed to the door of the lodge.

"Let him go back to his Christian Indians." The Indian runner cut Joe's bonds, and once more attempted to lead him from the lodge.

Rage and misery shown in the lad's face.
