THE WOLF-WARRIOR. 389 
Horse and he showed me the root; I dug it up and tasted it; I knew how 
it tasted; I woke up. The next day I went out and found the root, and 
dug it up and tasted it and it was the same, and so I kept it.”” Wolf- 
Man did not say any more, for he had found one man equal to himself in 
traveling. Wolf-Man also knew that the man did not tell all of his story. 
When they reached camp they told the leaders where they had been, 
and it was hard for the leaders to believe them; for it was a journey of 
several days to the place where they said they had been. These two men 
were the ones who found a Mexican village and took from a corral many 
ponies and mules, giving them to the leader. The leader thanked them. 
After this trip Wolf-Man made friends with the other man who could 
walk fast. They became old and were often invited by young warriors 
to tell their war stories to them. Wolf-Man outlived the other man and 
came to Oklahoma in 1872. He was then a very old man, but still a 
good walker. He had a son whom he took pains to teach his secrets and 
songs. One night after the old man had given all of his things to his 
son, he lay down in his earth-lodge and waited through the night for the 
first ray of the morning sun to come, for he knew that when it came he 
had to die. The ray came through the lodge and rested on the old man. 
He gave one cry and died, as the wolf had died, of old age. 
103. THE COYOTE AND WOLF MEDICINE." 
A man was walking along and he met Coyote. Coyote spoke to the 
man and said, ‘‘How would you like to smoke my pipe’?’”’ The man 
thanked Coyote and told him that he would like to smoke it. After the 
man had smoked he returned the pipe, and then Coyote said to him: 
*“You have smoked my pipe and so I will not catch you and kill you, but 
will take you to my people. I want my people to know that you have 
smoked my pipe. They will be glad to see you and will give you great 
powers.”” They went on, and after a while they met many Coyotes and 
Wolves. When the Coyotes and the Wolves saw Coyote with the man, 
one of the Wolves called to the other Wolves and said: ‘‘ All be seated. 
Let us hear what these people who are coming have to say.”’ When 
they were seated Coyote stood up and said: ‘‘This man is my brother. 
He smoked my pipe. He came with me to make you people a visit. Let 
us take pity upon him and make him a wonderful man.’’ The man was 
frightened, for the Wolves came close to him. Then the man was told to 
look. He looked and saw many Coyotes, old and young. The Coyotes

as that of the preceding.
