BUFFALO-WIFE AND CORN-WIFE. 65 
‘morning the woman turned herself and her son into Buffalo and went 
off, leaving Without-Wings asleep. When he awoke he looked around 
and found that there was no one near. He turned himself into an Eagle 
and flew into the air for a little distance, and there he saw the Buffalo and 
the little calf going through a thickly timbered country where they 
thought no one would come. The Buffalo cow did not know that With- 
out-Wings was flying overhead and she and the calf went on until even- 
ing came upon them. Then the Buffalo cow turned into a woman again, 
set up a tipi and began to cook, and the calf turned into a boy again. 
Without-Wings came again. The woman would not notice him, but the 
little boy would go up to his father and give him something to eat. 
Early the next morning the woman and the child awoke, turned into 
Buffalo, made the tipi disappear, and left Without-Wings on the ground, 
as they had done before. 
When Without-Wings awoke he found that the woman and the child 
had gone again. He turned himself into an Eagle and flew away, and 
as he flew he saw the Buffalo cow coming to a wide stream of water. 
The Buffalo cow swam and carried the calf on her back. The cow 
became tired, but she finally crossed the stream of water and then stopped 
to rest. After she had rested she said: ‘‘My boy, your father will never 
be able to cross that water. Now we will go on.’’ She did not know 
that Without-Wings was flying above her. They went on, and when 
evening came again the Buffalo turned into a woman and put up 
her tipi. When she had the tipi up, and was cooking, Without-Wings 
came into the tipi. The woman was surprised, but she would not 
notice him. Early the next morning the woman and her son arose and 
she said: ‘‘We must hurry, my son, for we must cross some high moun- 
tains. When we have crossed these mountains your father can never 
overtake us, because he can not climb the steep mountains.” They 
started and went across the mountains. When Without-Wings woke 
up he found that they were gone, and again he turned into an Eagle and 
flew up and saw the Buffalo and the calf crossing the mountains. To- 
wards evening the Buffalo cow did not run quite so fast, and she told the 
calf that the next day they would be back to their home where their peo- 
ple were. As they were going over the mountains she told him that his 
father could not come that way; but that if he did come she wanted him 
to tell hisfather, that he had a grandmother who was very cruel and that 
she would kill him if he came farther. 
In the evening, after they had passed the mountains, the Buffalo cow 
stopped and turned into a woman again. She put up her tipi and began 
to cook. After a while Without-Wings came down from the mountains
