6 ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA 



Scarface obeyed and was soon told to open his eyes and look in front 

 of him, towards the east. He looked and saw in the distance a lodge and 

 a boy outside it. " That lodge/' said the dream person, " is the 

 home of the Sun, and the boy standing outside is his son the Morning 

 Star, now go close." 



Sciirface awaloencd eai'ly the next morning and continued his 

 journey. It was not long before he saw in the distance the lodge he 

 had seen in his dream, and when he came nearer he met the boy who 

 asked him who he was and why he travelled. Scarface told the story 

 of his trouble. 



The Morning Star took pity on the Indian and promised to help 

 him. 



The Sim's son was dressed in the best clothes that Scarface had ever 

 seen. A rare buffalo calf robe was on his shoulders, and his leggings 

 and shirt were of the finest make. 



As they approached the lodge someone called from within, " Go 

 away from here, how you stink. You smell like people." It was the 

 Moon, the Sun's wife, who was speaking, so her son the Morning Star 

 went in and explained that it was only his new friend Scarface, and 

 that he wanted to come in. 



The mother said, " Wait, let me make incense.'' Scarface heard 

 her singing while she made incense with sweet grass. He then entered 

 the lodge. 



Presently they heard someone approaching, shouting '• How our 

 home stinks. It smells like people." The boy went out and told the 

 newcomer, who was his father, the Sun, " It is only my new friend, 

 Scarface, that you smell.'' 



" Then make incense. Make incense and I will enter," cried thé 

 Sun. After incense had been made as before he entered. 



Morning Star and his mother explained how Scarface had just 

 arrived, and tihe Sun remarked, " It does not matter. Let him remain, 

 he will be a companion for our son." ' 



Scarface now looked about, and was surprised to see a great quantity 

 of Indian property in the lodge. White buffalo robes were there in 

 abundance. Beaver hair buffalo robes, otter skins, ermine, eagle tail 

 feathers, and all things that Indians love to possess were piled up in 

 the lodge on all sides. Some of these things were old, but most of them 

 were new. War garments of all kinds, scalp shirts and leggings, in 

 fact, all Indian treasures were there in great numbers. 



Said the Sun to Scarface, " Take off your clothing, my son. Your 

 garments smell of people, so take them all off and tlirow them outside." 

 Scarface did as he was told.
