itself. On the next morning they found the dog outside the grass- 
lodge, and again tried to feed him, but he would not eat. On the next 
night the dog got up again and moved away, and the next morning 
they looked for the dog and found him a good way from their place. 
Again they tried to feed him, but the dog would not eat at all. On 
the next morning the dog moved outside the village. The next morn- 
ing they again looked for the dog and found him outside of the village, 
lying down, and they tried to feed him, but he would not eat. On the 
next night the dog moved agairt, this time to the hill where the war- 
party had always made its appearance when returning. The next morn- 
ing the folks looked for the dog again, and when they had found him, 
tried to feed him, but he would not eat. Here he remained until his 
master came back. When Young-Man-Chief returned with his war- 
party to this place he bade his men go on while he remained behind until 
he found out why his dog had come down so far from home. The men 
folks returned to the village and Young-Man-Chief asked the dog why 
he was there. The Dog replied: “You know that I told you I was 
jealous ; some one came around our wife’s bed, and the woman kicked 
me off.” Young-Man-Chief told the dog he would remain there, and 
whatever the dog wanted to do he would do. On the next morning the 
folks brought food for Young-Man-Chief and the dog to eat, but they 
would not eat. The next day the people brought food again for them, 
but the other food was still there. The folks noticed that the two had 
both sat down, and underneath they were turning to stone. On the 
next day when the folks came back the stone had grown up above their 
legs ; the next day they came around again and the stone had grown up 
below the neck; the next day they were turned into stones. When 
two stones stick up like these the people call them “Young-Man-Chief 
and his dog.” 
21. THE OLD-AGE-DOG WHO RESCUED THE CHIEF’S SON.* 
Chief’s-Son (Niasedia) once lived with his father in a village situ- 
ated in an open place having but little timber, on the east side of a 
stream of water. On the west there was a large piece of timber, and 
in those days the country was pretty wild, and foes frequently attacked 
the people who lived in the village. Whenever the women went after 
wood they were accompanied by the men, who would take along all 
their weapons, that they might at any time be ready for an attack, never 
knowing what would happen.
