2 dog. Now I Alak'ilayug^va reall}^ loved Ts.'ag'i-lak", and | Ts.'ag'i- 

 ^lak" never left the house of Llaqwalal; for | Tsl^g'i^ak" came as a 

 stranger from south of Tsaxis. Now | Alak' ila^mgwa really did not 

 5 mind that her brother G'exk'Enis tried to tell her || in vain that she 

 should not make known that Ts lag" i^lak" was her lover. | Alak'i- 

 layugwa only said that she was proud | to have for her lover the 

 prince of HaxuyosEme^. Then | G'exk'Enis was silent. NowAlak'i- 

 layugwa was with child. | Then she was driven away by her brother 



10 G'exk'Enis, when he found out that || Alak'ilayug^va was with child. 

 Immediately Tslag'i^lak" | asked Alak'ilayugwa to carry their goods 

 to I a cave this side of K' !aq !a. Then the lovers carried their goods 

 there. | Then Ts lag' i^lak" and his beloved Alak'ila3mgwa | staid there 

 a long time. Then she gave birth to a boy in the cave. They || 



15 hved there a long time in the cave. Then Alak'ilayugwa | asked her 

 lover Ts!ag'i4ak" to go with their goods to Wadzolis. | Immediately 

 Tslag'i^lak" loaded his small canoe, and | they went to Wadzolis. 

 When they arrived there, | TsIS-g'i^lak" took his slow-match box and 



20 he took out || his slow-match, which was burning at one end just Uke 

 a rope of soft cedar bark. | Then he made a fire; and when the fire 

 blazed up, | he put out his slow-match, and put it into the slow- 

 match box. I Now he was already making fires wherever he went
