country, and with a manner of great authority he again commanded her 
to cut him in two. So she stood before him, and severed him in twain, 
and fled in terror. And lo! each part took the form of an entire man, 
and the one beautiful boy appeared as two, and they were so much alike 
no one could tell them apart. 
When the people or natives whom the boy had enlisted came pouring 
into the camp, Oin-aw/-div and To-go’-a were engaged in telling them of 
the wonderful thing that had happened to the boy, and that now there 
were two; and they all held it to be an augury of a successful expedition 
to the land of Stone Shirt._ And they started on their journey. 
Now the boy had been told in the dream of his three days’ slumber of 
a magical cup, and he had brought it home with him from his journey 
among the nations, and the So/-kis Wai’-dn-dts carried it between them, 
filled with water. Ovtn-au'-dv walked on their right and To-go’-a on 
their left, and the nations followed in the order in which they had been 
enlisted. There was a vast number of them, so that when they were 
stretched out in line it was one day’s journey from the front to the rear 
of the column. 
When they had journeyed two days and were far out on the desert 
all the people thirsted, for they found no water, and they fell down upon 
the sand groaning, and murmuring that they had been deceived, and 
they cursed the One-Two. 
But the So/-kiis Wai/-tin-dts had been told in the wonderful dream of 
the suffering which would be endured and that the water which they 
carried in the cup was only to be used in dire necessity, and the brothers 
said to each other: “Now the time has come for us to drink the water.” 
And when one had quaffed of the magical bowl, he found it still full, 
and he gave it to the other to drink, and still it was full; and the One- 
Two gave it to the people, and one after another did they all drink, and 
still the cup was full to the brim. 
But Cin-aw-dv was dead, and all the people mourned, for he was a 
great man. The brothers held the cup over him, and sprinkled him 
with water, when he arose and said: “ Why do you disturb me? I did 
have a vision of mountain brooks and meadows, of cane where honey- 
dew was plenty.” They gave him the cup, and he drank also; but 
when he had finished there was none left. Refreshed and rejoicing 
they proceeded on their journey. 
The dext day, being without food, they were hungry, and all were 
about to perish; and again they murmured at the brothers, and cursed 
them. But the So/-kis Wai/in-dts saw in the distance an antelope, 
standing on an eminence in the plain, in bold relief against the sky; 
and Otn-auw'-div knew it was the wonderful antelope with many eyes, 
which Stone Shirt kept for his watchman; and he proposed to go and 
kill it, but Zo-go’-a demurred, and said: “Tt were better that I should 
go, for he will see you and run away.” But the So’-kis Wai’-wn-dts told 
Oin’-au-tiv to go; and he started in a direction away to the left of where
