SPIDERS WHO RECOVERED THE CHIEF'S GRANDSON. 181 
of meat hung on a stick, roasting. The Spider-Man gave the Coyote 
this meat to eat, and -he ate until it was nearly gone; then Spider-Man 
took the stick that had the piece of meat on it, and taking it on his 
hand, turned it, and there it was, a large piece of meat again. ‘The 
Coyote continued eating the meat until he had enough. Spider-Man 
asked ithe Coyote if he was brave, and the Coyote said that he was. 
Spider-Man told him that that was all he wanted to know about him, 
for he wanted him to go after the chief’s grandchild and wanted him to 
hasten in doing it, for power would be given him to enter where the . 
child was. He told the Coyote to hurry, for the child had been scorched 
nearly to death. 
The Coyote went back to his home, taking what meat was left to 
his family, and when his children began to eat the meat he showed his 
wife how to turn the stick once, so as to make the meat large again, 
when it was nearly all gone. Then he told her that he was going a long 
distance, looking for the lost child. The Coyote went to Spider-Man’s 
place again, and Spider-Man told him to go back home to tell ‘his wife 
that she was thereafter to be his sister instead of his wife, and he was 
to have a separate bed made where he was to sleep on his return. The 
Coyote went back to this home and told his wife that they would no

entered the place he was asked if he had done as he was ordered, and 
the Coyote replied that he had. Spider-Man then told the Coyote that 
he would have to go by four dangerous beings before reaching the place 
where the child was, but if he was a brave man these four dangerous 
men would not scare him. He then started the Coyote off on the trip. 
The Coyote traveled fast until he came to some one standing, who 
told the Coyote not to come near him, for he would not be allowed to 
pass. Now, before the Coyote started he had been told what to do 
when he should meet these four men, who would talk to him in an abu- 
sive manner. He was also told that he would enter the place in the 
night, and that there he would find the child suffering from the heat 
of the fire; and there he would see a great multitude of people standing 
around and dancing over the child; that the would notice once in a 
while, people running to their homes, saying that Spider-Man had 
come, for they knew that Spider-Man was the only living being that 
could recover the child. The Coyote had also been told that when 
he got the child he should run hard, for something would explode, so
