THE DEEDS OF WETS-THE-BED. Bit 
done wonders.” All at once the men took their loads of beef on their 
backs to Wets-the-Bed. The chief of the village called for the largest 
tipi to be found. When the tipi was found it was put up for the grand- 
parents of Wets-the-Bed. After the tipi was put up Wets-the-Bed 
went back to his wives. As he entered his home he told some of them 
to sweep out the place. He then took his young wife to the east, and 
they finally reached the creek. He dived into the creek, and when 
he came out he was the same as when attacking the enemy. He then 
took his wife and threw her in the creek. Soon he saw her hair float- 
ing on the top of the water. A's she came up she was changed and was 
very beautiful. They went toward the village. In the night everybody 
smelled a scent the two had on them, and they did not know what it 
was. ‘They wondered who was passing. Wets-the-Bed and his wife 
arrived at their home, and he changed his bed so that it looked like 
new. The older girl would never eat with Wets-the-Bed, for she 
hated him and her sister, but when she saw that he was changed she

flesh and her appetite longing to be with Wets-the-Bed. 
When Wets-the-Bed and his wife were about sixteen years old 
the people of the chief’s village gathered in the chief’s lodge. When 
they entered the lodge they saw Wets-the-Bed and his wife. When 
they were told to sit down the chiefs of the village began to whisper, 
saying: “You made a mistake in saying that Wets-the-Bed was not a 
good son-in-law. You now see who this Wets-the-Bed is.” Others 
said among themselves, “I always thought there was something to this 
poor boy.” While Wets-the-Bed was living with the chief's daughter 
his sister-in-law was getting thin, but his wife told her that she had 
done wrong when she had refused her father’s command to marry 
Wets-the-Bed. 
Time went on, until finally the head chief called his servant, who 
was of dark complexion, was a very fast runner, and could move around 
very fast. He sent him around through the village to tell the men of 
the village to come to his place. Crowds began to gather. When it 
was thought they were all present they made it known to the chief. 
They asked why he had called them together. He said to the chiefs:
