HEALTHY-FLINT-STONE-MAN. Tay 
Then over her body he went and jumped at her head. Then he 
commenced to sing again, first on her left side, then on her right. He 
sang the song four times, and while he was doing this the decayed 
hide came off from her. The servant told the men to take her out and 
take her life for what she had done to the chief’s wife, telling how she 
had fooled the chief. They did as they were told. The servant told 
the men he had suspected the old woman when she had come around to 
get the wife to go after wood with her; that when going after wood 
they always went a long distance, so that no one could observe them, 
but that he had always flown very high over them, so they could not 
see him, and had watched them; that on the fourth time they went for 
wood he hhad seen the old woman choke the wife with the wife’s rope; 
how the old woman had secured the whole skin of the wife and had 
thrown her tbody into the flowing water. He told the men where the 
place was, and directed them there the next day. The men went to 
their homes, feeling very sad for the wicked thing the old woman had 
done. On the next day the chief went as directed, and he came to a 
place where he found a pile of wood that belonged to his former wife. 
He went to the place where he supposed his wife to be. He sat down 
and commenced to weep. There he stayed all night and the next day. 
Ife returned to his home, but he could not forget the occurrence. So he 
went back again and stayed another night and again returned home. 
The chief was full of sorrow. He went back to the place the third 
time, and when he got there he sat down and commenced to weep. 
Again he stayed all night, and early next morning it was foggy and he 
could not see far. While he sat and wept he faced the east, and he was 
on the west side of the flowing waters, so that he also faced the flowing 
water wherein his wife’s body was thrown. He heard some one sing- 
ing, but he was unable to catch the sound so that he could locate the 
place where the sound came from. He finally discovered that it came 
from the flowing water. He went toward the place and listened, and 
indeed it was his wife’s voice, and this is what she sang: 
“Nats-kets-o-ta-ha-nek 
Nats-kets-o-ta-ha-nek 
Te-he-tots-a-ee 
: Te-e-he-tots-hak.”’
