meat on the buckskin and he pulled it off and ate it. Then one of 

 the girls said, "Poor man, he has not had anything to eat," and she 

 went up to the house about a half mile from the creek and brought 

 some meat, and he ate it. Then they went on washing the buckskin. 



In the evening the girls took him back to their house with them. 

 Their father knew he came from a different country. The girls made 

 supper and they ate. After supper the old man asked questions, and 

 asked, "'VMiere have you been?" He said, "I come from Cipapo- 

 lima. I was living there and we had no rain. And I looked down 

 here and saw lightning, so I came here and I planted some corn and 

 beans and melons and squash. To-day I was looking around and I 

 saw your girls washing a buckskin. " The old man said, "All right. 

 If you stay with these girls you will be all right." Then they went 

 to bed. 



After breakfast the next morning the old man told the youth to 

 make a pair of moccasins. He gave him a deerskin and he made a 

 pair of moccasins and a pair of leggings. He had nice clothes again 

 now. In the evening he went to the corrals and called out to all the 

 people to come down. Each family got one deer and one moimtain 

 sheep and one antelope and one jack rabbit and one cottontail 

 rabbit and one wood rat. Each family got one of each kind of animal 

 and took them home. The second day he did the same. The man 

 stayed there four days and then he went to look after his cornfield. 

 His cornfield was getting along all right and his muskmclons were 

 nearly ripe. He took deer meat with him. He worked all day in 

 his cornfield and in the evening he went home. Every fourth night 

 he gave each family one deer and one mountain sheep and one ante- 

 lope and one cottontail rabbit and one jack rabbit and one wood rat. 



Up at the village of the katcinas was Pautiwa. One day he 

 put on his duck shirt and went swimming in the lake. He went out 

 to the southwest and after he had gone a long way he saw cornfields 

 and he saw a little lake and he swam into the lake. When he got 

 there he took off his duck shirt and went up to the camp house and 

 looked in. He saw the young man eating a dinner of deer meat. 

 The young man heard him and put the deer meat under his knees. 

 Then Pautiwa went in and greeted him. And the young man said, 

 "Sit down." Pautiwa sat down and talked to the young man. 

 "I think you are eating deer meat." "No, I never eat deer meat." 

 "Yes, you look well. You have enough to eat. Perhaps you are 

 married." "No." "Yes, you look well. I think you are married, " 

 fautiwa said, "You tell me. I have a nice daughter and I will 

 bring her to you to-morrow. " Then the boy told him, "A long time 

 ago the people from the village of the katcinas went out to hunt 

 deer, and the black dancers went to hunt deer the same day. And 

 they made a large circle and the black gods rounded up all the deer in
