ging stick poked the bag out from the fire. She grabbed the bag and 

 untied it and as good kick for her, two human testes were found, unin- 

 jured ; but the cover of the shield was burnt up completely. Of course 

 the inside, which was an iron disc, was yet all right. "Well, if they 

 had burned up my headdress it would be different, but it is all right 

 yet," said she. She took out the headdress of two human testes, tied 

 them together and tied them to the back of her head. She took the iron 

 digging stick and also the shield and began fighting these young men, 

 the entire party. "I am glad to have saved my headdress, and I shall 

 kill all of you," said she. The young men shot her with their arrows, 

 but the arrows would bounce back from the iron shield. Light-Stone 

 saw a way to kill her, so he advanced to her and shot at the headdress 

 and hit the center of both testes, and she fell down dead. Then they 

 put her into the fire again, and she was burned to ashes. 



"We have encountered many dangers and barely come out vic- 

 torious, we shall go and get back to the main camp," said the wise one. 

 They were all agreed, and so they broke the camp, began to travel, and 

 soon reached the camp-circle.

 man had a separate bed, on the west side, with the girl on another side, 

 while the husband and wife occupied the other side. During the 

 nights there would be one cr two young girls coming to see this beau- 

 tiful young man, Light-Stone. Quite a number of women slept with 

 him, in order to make him select a wife, and in the morning the sister 

 and the husband and wife would fix up the women in such shape as to 

 please him, but they would say that Light- Stone was not to be married 

 for a while yet, for some time. Every girl that was handsome came to 

 him to get married, of her own accord, but all were refused. The 

 sister of this beautiful young man was charming also. Since many 

 women were refused, this sister became madly in love with her own 

 brother, Light-Stone. 



One night, while the folks were. sleeping soundly, as was also this 

 beautiful young man, this sister got up and went out, looked around to 

 see if anybody was near or about the place. She didn't see any one, 

 so she went in slowly and pushed the young man to the wall of the tipi.
