Then, when he had placed a seat, and had climbed up on a tree which 
stood there, she took that stick which she had picked up. 
“Let it turn into iron!" she said; “When he comes leaping, let him 
impale himself!'^ she said. 
And truly, as he jumped, he impaled himself, that evil man who used 
to kill the young women. So Burnt-Stick killed him; she killed that evil 
man. 
She went to where she had left her brothers when she departed. 
What did she see, they were weeping, mourning for her, and all the 
while saying, “Our little sister was eaten by the Windigo!" Thus spoke 
her brothers as she listened to them. 
“Enough; cease weeping, brothers! I have come!” she said. 
Those young men were very glad. She had picked out ten of the 
women she had restored to life, and taken them for her brothers. Then 
those men were very glad to have wives. 
Then at one time, “I am not really a human being,” said the young 
woman; “And now my father wants me. So I shall turn into a deer. I 
have completed my benefaction to all of you, in giving you young women.”
