They stayed there for a long time and the two boys grew up. 
Now they called the people. They saw the children. They arose

will cut them apart. Then we shall have two chiefs.”  ‘* Ha, do you

said he would cut them, but Robin did not like it. One day Blue-jay 
cut them. Then one went to one side and one to the other. They 
fell down and their intestines were pulled out. Then the woman 
looked at him and Blue-jay caught fire. His hair was all burned. 
“Eh, Blue-jay, now I must go home upward;” and she said: 
*“Ttejxiané shall be your name. You shall go into the water. Now 
Iwill go up. When a chief is about to die, one of my children shall
