THE DEEDS OF YOUNG-EAGLE. 133 
scalp, and gave it to his brother-in-law, who in turn gave it to the 
leader of the war-party. 
Young-Eagle went back to the village, and about this time the 
enemy were coming after him. Young-Eagle killed several more, tak- 
ing their scalps. He gave the scalps to his brother-in-law, who in turn 
gave them to the leader. They knew that the young man was brave. 
After the battle he went home as Young-Fagle. The others drove 
ponies. 
Young-FEagle went into his lodge where his wife was. He did not 
tell her what had happened. Two days afterward, the war-party came, 
singing scalp songs and telling all that Young-Eagle had done. Yellow- 
Calf’s father sat upon the lodge, listening, and thought that they were 
making fun of his son-in-law. 
The warriors entered the lodge of the priests, and there they told 
the story, from the time they had left and from the time Young-Fagle 
overtook them, and the capturing of the ponies and the killing of the 
enemy. This was all true. Scalps were brought to Young-Eagle’s 
lodge, and the old man put them upon a long pole, and stuck the pole 
in the ground outside of the entrance of his lodge. The ponies that 
were left over after dividing them up between the warriors were given 
to Yellow-Calf’s father, who took only so many. Then Young-Fagle 
went out and gave the remainder of the ponies to the poor people. 
Some people went to the other village, and reported all that 
Young-Eagle had done, and the father of Young-Eagle was ashamed, 
for he thought they were making fun of him, for when Young-Eagle 
had been at home he would never go out on the war-path. He did not 
believe the story ; he believed the boy to be dead, for he had been away 
for some time. So all the sisters of Young-Eagle had cut their hair 
and mourned, as had also his father and mother. 
Every time a war-party came to attack the village Young-Eagle 
was there to save the village. Once in a while, when a war-party went 
out, Young-Eagle followed. He did the same as he had done before. 
On one of these occasions he made up his mind that he would go and 
get his own likeness; for, although he had changed once, when first 
he had gone on the war-path, he still retained his big belly. One 
evening he went with his wife to the lake. He went into the lake. 
When he came out he had on his fine leggings, a fine robe and a moun- 
tain-lion quiver, and he was fine-looking, with long hair. The girl 
was proud of him now. They went home. 
In a few days, Young-Eagle told Yellow-Calf to take all the 
scalps that he had taken, and saddle the ponies; for they were going
