n
end?' he asked, but there was no answer. Now, an answer has come.
Jesus is the Saviour _from sin_. All things shall be put under Him.
When that time comes _all_ things shall be good. At present good and
evil are mixed."
The red man paused a moment, with a slightly troubled look, but the
shadow passed like a fleeting cloud as he dropped his arm, and, with an
air of simple humility, sat down again beside his friend.
"Petawanaquat is only a child," he added; "at present he is only
learning. In good time he shall know all."
The sun's last rays were still gilding the horizon and flickering on the
waves of Winnipeg when the tired hunters lay down to rest. Gradually
the camp-fire lost its ruddy glow; the evening breeze died slowly down;
one by one the stars came out, and the soft curtain of night, descending
like a gentle spirit on the wilderness, hid the red man and his comrades
from mortal eyes, and wrapped them in profound repose.
THE END.
