Analysis. — This melody contains little that is of special interest. 

 It is based on the second five-toned scale and has only one mterval 

 larger than a major third. Two rhythmic units appear, each having 

 the same division of the first two counts. A sliglit increase of tempo 

 was made as indicated, with a return to the original tempo at the close 

 of the song. This was uniform in the two renditions of the melody. 

 (See No. 5.) 



Swift Dog said that he once struck a woman with a coup stick. 

 (See p. 359.) Later he struck a young man with the coup stick 

 and took away his quiver. (See pi. 70, C.) He was a handsome 

 young man. Afterward two others struck the young man, and he was 

 killed by the last man who struck him. 



The melody of this song is the same as that of the song next pre- 

 ceding, hence only the words are given.
