Narrative. — In a wigwam lived a man and his wife, but 

 after a time the woman ran away. Then the man went to an 

 old Mide'wini^nl and said to him, "My wife has run away; I 

 wish that you would take pity on me and bring her back 

 again . ' ' 



The old man replied, "Your wife will come back to-night." 

 Then he added, "I am sure of this, because the sound of my 

 drumming is heard all over the world and when she hears it 

 she can not help coming back." So he began to drum and to sing this song, and the 

 man's wife came back to him. Then the old man gave him a charm so that hig 

 wife ivould never run away again.
