hen they are killed, I will be quite likely
to come back."

When they killed the buffaloes she was coming back; the wife stood on
the hill. Her husband came to that place.

"Though I killed the buffaloes, they will cut them up," he said. They
who surrounded them reached home.

Again they spoke of a buffalo hunt. "The chief's daughter's husband
speaks indeed of sending them to act as scouts," said the criers.

Again the herd of buffaloes had come to that country. They surrounded
them. Again they shot down many of them.

At last the son of the old head chief was in a bad humor. He was in a
bad humor because his sister's husband had been made chief.

Now at night, the horse used to say to the young man, "O father, a man
desires very much to kill us. It is so every night." And after that at
night the young man used to take care of his horse and mule.

On the next day they surrounded the herd in the land where the deed
was done. It was just so again; a great many buffaloes had been
coming. At length the son wished the buffaloes to trample his sister's
husband to death. When they attacked the buffaloes, he waved his robe.
Turning around in his course, he waved his robe again. When the
sister's husband went right in among the buffaloes, they closed in on
him and he was not seen at all.

The people said, "The buffaloes have trampled to death the chief's
daughter's husband."

When the buffaloes trampled him to death, they scattered and went
homeward in every direction, moving in long lines. And the people did
not find any trace whatever of what was done. They did not find the
horse. Even the man they did not find. When the buffaloes killed him
by trampling, the horse had gone back to Him Who Made Things.

THE BUFFALO AND THE GRIZZLY BEAR

_Omaha_

Grizzly Bear was going somewhere, following the course of a stream,
and at last he went straight towards the headland. When he got in
sight, Buffalo Bull was standing beneath it. Grizzly Bear retraced his
steps, going again to the stream, following its course until he got
beyond the headland. Then he drew near and peeped. He saw that Buffalo
Bull was very lean, and standing with his head bowed, as if sluggish.
So Grizzly Bear crawled up close to him, made a rush, seized him by
the hair of his head, and pulled down his head. He turned Buffalo Bull
round and round, shaking him now and then, saying, "Speak! Speak! I
have been coming to this place a long time, and th
