OW NER-OF-BLACK-AND-WHITE-FLINT-KNIVES AND SON. 87 
steep wall when he saw this man again, and called him, saying, “I am 
now here to get you, and am bound to take you back home to mother.” 
He asked Owner-of-Black-and-White-Flint-Knives what the Double- 
Faced-Monsters were, when they were home, and what time they 
came home. His father said that it was dangerous for him to be 
around, for the older Double-Faced-Monsters were out somewhere, 
and he supposed that they already knew of Young-Flint-Knife’s ar- 
rival. They at once went up to the place where the creatures were. 
They walked in the caves, and there they saw the young ones at home 
by themselves. The children came up to them and began to scratch 
their legs, and whatever blood was on their claws they would suck. 
Young-Flint-Knife noticed some things hanging inside the place, and 
he asked the young ones what these things were. They replied that 
they were their hearts; that they were hung there so that there would be 
no chance of anyone killing their father and mother. Young-Flint- 
Knife took his arrow and struck one of these, and down went one of 
the young ones. Young-Flint-Knife then asked whose were the other 
hearts; then he stuck his arrows into them, one after another, until he 
thought he must have killed all of them. 
Young-Flint-Knife and his father walked out, and the Owner-of- 
Black-and-White-Flint-Knives was released from his troubles. ‘They 
looked for the deepest place in the creek, and when they found it, 
Young-Flint-Knife asked his father to dive in. He dived, and when 
he came out of the water he was changed so that he bore the same ap- 
pearance as before he was carried away from his wife. They then 
went on to Young-Flint-Knife’s home. When they arrived the parents 
were glad to see them again, for they had known that Young-Flint- 
Knife was going to meet danger when he set out, and had not ex- 
pected him to return; but Young-Flint-Knife, having great powers, 
knew how to get to the safest place, and knew when the Double-Faced- 
Monsters were at home, and when they were away. He was now much 
stronger than his father. They were at home but a little while, when 
Owner-of-Black-and-White-Flint-Knives told his son that he had less 
powers than formerly. He said that because he was old and had less 
power, he feared that the Double-Faced-Monster, or some other enemies 
might capture him, and make him suffer again all that he had so re- 
cently suffered. In order to prevent a recurrence of this, he wanted 
his son to leave with him and become something else. So the Owner- 
of-Black-and-White-Flint-Knives and his son, Young-Flint-Knife, 
waited until night, then went up in the sky and became Stars. They left 
their people behind, who exist on earth as human beings.
