60 THE MYTHOLOGY OF THE WICHITA. 
Tree, or Stone-Corn-Mills-lying-on-Hill-side, or Large-elm-Tree-near- 
Edge-of-the-Village, or Where-large-Ears-of-Corn-grow, which I still 
hold in memory. The Protector-of-Warriors, your father, lives some- 
where beyond here, to the south. By going on you ‘will meet another 
man.” Young-Flint-Stone went on and came to the third man who 
had given out, and he was angry, not having seen a human being for 
a long time. But Young-Flint-Stone went up to him and took a hand- 
ful of meal and put it in the man’s mouth. The man drew his head 
back, and said, smiling: “This puts me in mind of being at Where- 
Blackbirds-lit-on-elm-Tree, or Stone-Corn-Mills-lying-on-Hill-side, or 
Large-elm-Tree-near-Edge-of-the-Village, or Where-large-Fars-of- 
Corn-grow. Young-Flint-Stone, you are going to see your father. 
You will come to another man, and there you can secure more informa- 
tion from him. He knows more about your father, for he is nearer to 
him.” So Young-Flint-Stone traveled fast, until he came to the man 
whom he knew to be the last one who had given out. The man was 
angry because Young-Flint-Stone came around where he was, but 
Young-Flint-Stone went boldly up to him and put a handful of meal 
into his mouth. The man drew back his head, laughed, and said: ‘Yes, 
this puts me in mind of being at Where-Blackbirds-lit-on-elm-Tree, or 
Stone-Corn-Mills-lying-on-Hill-side, or Large-elm-Tree-near-Edge-of- 
the-Village, or Where-large-Kars-of-Corn-grow. Well, Young-Flint- 
Stone, you have come in search of your father, who lives further south, 
near to his enemies. He surely had great powers, and to go and see 
him you will have to sneak around to get to his lodge, for if he sees 
you before you get up there he will kill you. He lives at that high 
point; sometimes he is out, and then there are times when he goes to 
sleep. When you get there he will try to kill you, for he allows no one 
to come to his place. There is a time when I can hear him giving a 
war-whoop, when he goes out after his enemies. Now you may go on.” 
So Young-Flint-Stone went on, after he had gained the information 
regarding his father’s habits and lodge. He traveled on and on, sneak- 
ing so as not to be seen, as he had been instructed, until he came to the 
place where his father was. 
He finally succeeded in reaching the door of the lodge, and on 
entering, said to his father, “My father, I am now here in search of 
you.” Just as he said that, the Protector-of-Warriors rose on his feet 
and said: “I can not believe it. I know I have a son, but as far away 
from here as he is, I can not believe he could ever reach this place. 
You are trying to play me a trick.” Then he went for his war-club. 
Young-Flint-Stone got hold of his father and said to him, “I am your
