where the woman sat, bored a hole in it, and putting the grass through 
the hole, punched the woman’s back, and attracted her attention. She 
finally went outside, and there he met her, and said: “My woman, I 
am here looking for you, and your parents are wanting you to come 
home, and now I want you to go home with me without fail.” The 
woman asked if he would permit her to go back into the tipi to get the 
things she needed, but this he refused. They talked for a good while 
about her going back into the tipi. The woman at length gained his 
consent and went back into the tipi, although he had the things she 
needed. Inside the tipi, she told her man that the man from whom she 
had been captured was outside. She told her man that she wanted him 
captured that she might be avenged for his having left her. She went 
out of the tipi with her man, both wrapped in the same robe. She went

Dog went around where the man was burned to death. He found the 
remains of the burned man and raised ‘him up, restoring him to life. 
The man now saw where he had been lying upon the ground. The old 
dog asked him to rise and follow him. Chief’s-Son then roused from 
his death bed, went along with Old-Age-Dog and followed him. They 
finally came to a creek, and Chief’s-Son was told to dive in. He dived, 
and when he came out of the water he appeared the same as when he 
had started from home. Old-Age-Dog jumped in the creek, too, and
