118 EXPLOEATION OF THE CANONS OF THE COLOKADO. 
Finally he returned in advance of the people whom he had enlisted, 
bringing with him Shin-au'-av, the wolf, and To-go'-av, the rattlesnake. 
When the three had eaten food, the boy said to the old woman: "Grand 
mother, cut me in two ! " But she demurred, saying she did not wish to kill 
one whom she loved so dearly. "Cut me in two!" demanded the boy; and
