"Father," said Kut-o-yis', "have you no arrows?"

"No, my son," replied the old man, "but I still have four stone
arrow points."

"Go out then," said Kut-o-yis', "and get some wood. We will make a
bow and some arrows, and in the morning we will go down to where the
buffalo are and kill something to eat."

Early in the morning Kut-o-yis' pushed the old man and said, "Come,
get up now, and we will go down and kill, when the buffalo come
out." It was still very early in the morning.

When they reached the river the old man said, "This is the place to
stand and shoot. I will go down and drive them out."

He went down and stamped on the log-jam, and presently a fat cow ran
out and Kut-o-yis' killed it.

Now, after these two had gone to the river the son-in-law arose and
went over to the old man's lodge, and knocked on the poles and
called to the old man to get up and help him kill. The old woman
called out to the son-in-law, saying, "Your father-in-law has
already gone down to the piskun." This made the son-in-law angry,
and he began to talk badly to the old woman and to threaten to harm
her.

Presently he went on down to the log-jam, and as he got near the
place he saw the old man at work there, bending over, skinning a

lain down on the ground and hidden himself behind the carcass.

When the son-in-law had come pretty close to where the buffalo lay
he said to his father-in-law, "Old man, stand up and look all about
you. Look carefully and well, for it will be the last time that you
will ever see anything"; and while the son-in-law said this he took
an arrow from his quiver.

Kut-o-yis' spoke to the old man from his hiding-place and said,
"Tell your son-in-law that he must take his last look, for that you
are going to kill him now." The old man said this as he had been
told.

"Ah," said the son-in-law, "you talk back to me. That makes me still
angrier at you." He put an arrow on the string and shot at the old
man, but did not hit him. Kut-o-yis' said to the old man, "Pick up
that arrow and shoot it back at him"; and the old man did so. Now,
they shot at each other four times, and then the old man said to
Kut-o-yis', "I am afraid now; get up and help me. If you do not, I
think he will kill me." Then Kut-o-yis' rose to his feet and said to
the son-in-law, "Here, what are you doing? I think you have been
treating this old man badly for a long ti
