Let the flower of the Delawares fade in alien pastures.Go.Whispering Winds is free!" Tears shone brightly in the Indian girl's eyes while she told Joe her story.

She loved her father, and she would see him no more.
"Winds is free," she whispered.

"When strength returns to her master she can follow him to the white villages.

Winds will live her life for him." "Then we have no one to fear ?" asked Joe.
"No redman, now that the Shawnee chief is dead." "Will Girty follow us?
He is a coward; he will fear to come alone." "The white savage is a snake in the grass." Two long days followed, during which the lovers lay quietly in hiding.

On the morning of the third day Joe felt that he might risk the start for the Village of Peace.
