His eyes scan the pages of the book of Indian tales until the type blurs. The young man's head nods, his eyelids droop. Tom is accidentally shot while on a hunting trip in Bear Canyon. Eagle Heart and his sister, Mountain Dew, arrive upon the scene. The Indian maid treats the wound. The young man loses his heart to Mountain Dew. When Eagle Heart learns of this he interferes. He tells Tom that he and his sister have sworn to have nothing to do with the palefaces. The story he tells is so vivid that Tom seems to visualize the incidents. According to Eagle Heart, a band of white trappers attacked the camp of his people when he and Mountain Dew were children. In the battle both their parents were slain. The orphans ran from the camp in fright and sought shelter at the cabin of a settler. The latter drove them off, however. Later, Eagle Heart and Mountain Dew found the camp of another tribe, where they were adopted by an old squaw. As they grew up, the children swore to hate the palefaces because of the wrongs the latter had heaped upon them. Tom tries in vain to overcome the Indian's objections. Although Mountain Dew loves the white man, she silently departs with her brother. Tom becomes conscious of a burning sensation in his shoulder. He leaps to his feet. For a moment he stares wildly about him. The familiar walls of his room restore him to his senses. During his slumber, the pipe had slipped to his shoulder, where a spark from the bowl had burnt through his clothes to the flesh. He picks up the book of Indian tales he had been reading. For a moment he scans its pages. Then with a sigh for the Indian maid of his dream, he lays the book aside. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
