8 ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA 



The Sun completod his songs, after which they all went outside, 

 and Avhen Scarface^s face was examined it was seen tliat the scar was not 

 so plain as it had been. 



They entered the second sweat lodge and went through the same 

 ceremony as before. Upon coming out, the scar was found to have 

 been nearly removed. 



The third sweat lodge was entered and used as the others had been, 

 with the result that the scar could barely be seen. 



After they had finished with the fourth, the Sun made Scarface and 

 the Morning Star change places. Then when his wife had removed 

 the hides from tlie sweat lodge, he said "WTiieh is your son?'' She 

 pointed to Scarface saying " That is our son." 



The boy's face was so completely healed that he looked just like the 

 handsome Morning Star. Scarface was much pleased. 



Said tlie Sun "You will not return home soon, my son, you will 

 remain here until next summer, because there are many things I want 

 to tell you. I am going to instruct you." 



They gave the young Indian a full suit of the best clothing they 

 had. He remained a long time at the home of the Sun, receiving 

 instruction from him and going about much with his friend, the Morn- 

 ing Star. 



One day when the two boys were roaming about together shooting, 

 they saw some large birds which the Morning Star said were very danger- 

 ous birds, and that they always killed anyone who went shooting with 

 him. 



He wanted Scarface to run home witli him to avoid the birds, but. 

 the Indian saw that the birds wei-e harmless ones which were always 

 killed and eaten in his country. 



The Morning Star retreated. The birds flew at Scarface who 

 raised his bow and using it as a club, knocked a bird on the head killing 

 it. He did the same thing to three others and took the dead birds 

 home to the Sun's lodge. Three of the birds he left outside the lodge 

 and entered with one in his hand. 



He received great praise for killing the bird, but when he after a 

 while told them that three more were lying dead outside, they said that 

 he was a very brave young man. 



The Sun gave to Scarface the Morning Stai-'s shirt which was 

 decorated with scalp hair, telling him, '" This is the gannent that brave 

 men wear." 



The Sun took charcoal and grease and blacked the young man's face, 

 put a white buffalo robe on his back and tied feathers in his hair.
