afire. The smoke was very green. ‘There is your sister’s husband, coming home with 
all of them,” said she. At length he had come in sight. ‘Yonder has come your sis- 
ter’s husband,” said she. She went to meet her husband. ‘I have killed all. I have 
also brought back my wife’s brother’s hair to him,” said he. “Thatis well. It is good 
for you to bring home all,” said she. At night the Badger’s wife sang the dancing-songs 
for the three. They had the scalp-dance. The next day her husband said, ‘“‘ Put stones 
in the fire.” The two men entered a sweat-lodge. When the Badger’s son took the hair 
of his wife’s brother, he scraped the scarred place on the top of the head. When he 
forced out the blood by scraping, he put the hair on the place. And the hair was as 
before. He made it very good for his relation. The three danced continually, as the 
Badger’s son had brought home the hair of the four women.
