Analysift. — Tho second purt of this song, containbig tho words, is 

 aji exact repetition of the first part, a somewhat unusual condition. 

 The form of the song is simple. It has a compass of an octave and 

 ends on the tonic. The melody tones are those of tho minor triad 

 and fourth, but only the tones of the tonic triad are accented. The 

 size of interval varies more than hi many of the songs, one-third of 

 the intervals being larger than a minor third. The song contains no 

 rhythmic imit, but the rhythm of the song as a whole is mtercstmg 

 and distinctive. 



When night came the object of the expedition was carried out. 

 Under cov(T of darkness eJaw succeeded in capturing on this occasion 

 70 horses. (See pi. 62.) In referring to this exploit he said: "I did 

 not waken nor kill any of the Crows; I just took their horses. No 

 Sioux ever took more horses than that in one night." 



As Jaw and his party approached their village they gave the long 

 wolf howl, at which the people came out to meet them. Tlio fol- 

 lowing song celebrated the victory, the women singhxg with tlie men:
