intervening generations have failed to obliterate them。 

     There is one other thing of which I must speak before I close。                  It is a 

dream that   I dream  often; and   in   point of time the   real event   must   have 

occurred during the period of my living in the high; inaccessible cave。 I 

remember that I wandered far in the forest toward the east。                 There I came 

upon a tribe of Tree People。          I crouched in a thicket and watched them at 

play。    They were holding a laughing council; jumping up and down and 

screeching rude choruses。 

     Suddenly   they   hushed   their   noise   and   ceased   their   capering。      They 

shrank down in fear; and quested anxiously about with their eyes for a way 

of   retreat。 Then   Red…Eye   walked   in   among   them。        They  cowered   away 

from him。       All were frightened。        But he made no attempt to hurt them。 

He   was   one   of   them。   At   his   heels;   on   stringy   bended   legs;   supporting 

herself with knuckles to the ground on either side; walked an old female of 

the Tree People; his latest wife。          He sat down in the midst of the circle。 

I can see him now; as I write this; scowling; his eyes inflamed; as he peers 

about him at the circle of the Tree People。           And as he peers he crooks one 

monstrous leg and with his gnarly toes scratches himself on the stomach。 

He is Red…Eye; the atavism。 



                                            104
