more covering. "I am very cold; give me some of your blankets!" 

 he said in his thoughts. "Uhuuhu, it is cold!" he called out. "What 

 is it, my son-in-law ? Are you cold ?" "Oh, I am very cold ; give me 

 one of your blankets." "Very well, my son-in-law, here is one." One- 

 eyed-Sioux took the blanket. Soon after, he again cried for covering. 

 ''What is it, what is it? What is it you want, my son-in-law?" "Oh, 

 J am still cold ! I have not become warm in spite of the blanket ! Come 

 out, let us sleep together." "You are cold?" "I am truly cold, my 

 mother-in-law." "Very well, then ! * Lie down next the fire, my son- 

 in-law. It is well." Then One-eyed-Sioux lay down with her on the 

 side of the bed towards the fire. "Take the cover to yourself, my son- 

 in-law," said his mother-in-law to him. Soon after he again cried for 

 more blankets. ''What is it, my son-in-law, what do you want?" "I 

 am still cold, I am still cold! I am shivering from cold." "Qua parte 

 alges, gener?" "Abi.' Em, hie algeo; hac una parte re vera 

 algeo," dixit, dum corporis partem frigidam tenet. Mulier, cum 

 quid vellet sensisset, respondit : "Esto ; in me incumbe, gener ; 

 tum calidus eris." Quod cum factum esset. One-eyed -Sioux et mulier 

 obdormierunt. When it was morning, they started to go on again. 

 They remained on the war-path a long time. Dum in itinere adhuc 

 erant, mulier gravida facta est. Festinantis ad opus anum scrutabatur 

 One-eyed-Sioux. "Vestem altius cinge — altius," mulieri dixit; "te 

 magis incurva — magis," cum anum scrutaretur. Dum in itinere una 

 cum muliere adhuc erat, ilia puerum, eius filium, peperit. The boy 

 grew up. Finally One-eyed-Sioux returned, his mother-in-law having 

 a boy child. "My father," he said to him. "Ah, no, not so ! I am your 

 brother-in-law." "My father, One-eyed-Sioux!" the boy said again. 

 [Then the people who stood by, waiting to hear the news, got impatient 

 and said:] "Well, One-eyed-Sioux, what is your black paint (success 

 in war) ?" "Oh, I was about to tell you that I captured this boy. I 

 captured him for my mother-in-law," said One-eyed-Sioux.' — K.

A man and wife, with two children, camped alone. One of the 

 children was a boy and the other a girl. One day the man went out on 

 the hunt and came to a high peak, on which was an eagle's nest. In the 

 nest were two young eagles, which had just been hatched. This man 

 saw an eagle fly quite a distance from its nest, so he got a stick and
