not find you when you were alive?"

"I sat in the ashes, therefore I am alive. I have come home, having
killed people. Why did you doubt me? As you did not take vengeance on
the people who used to kill you, I went to war on them myself. I
killed them. How can you doubt me? I will tell no more about myself,"
said Big Turtle. "I have ceased."

THE END

Transcriber's Note

Minor punctuation errors have been corrected without note. Hyphenation
has been made consistent, where there was a definite majority of one
form, again without note. The following amendments have also been made:

Table of contents--Fallen-Star amended to The Fallen Star, with
reference to the main story title.

Page 80--name of nation (Cherokee) added to title, with reference
to table of contents.

Page 148--omitted word 'an' added--"Rabbit said he brought an
important message."

Page 195--omitted word 'said,' added--"... has come back," he said,
"having killed one ..."

Some illustrations have been shifted to the beginning or end of tales
where previously they were in the middle. The short advert and
frontispiece illustration have been moved to follow the title page.
Some illustrations had a tissue paper sheet with an italicised note;
these have been moved to precede the illustration they refer to where
necessary. They are marked as [Notes: ...].
